Okay...Enough....

I've been thinking a lot about these posts. I have the sense that this is not dialogue, but rather people adamantly stating their points of view with no room for disagreement. We cannot hope to grow if we are not listening.

Long ago, those of us who grew up in the Catholic Church rejected the idea of souls burning in hell. It's not even part of our theology in a literal sense any more. The God of wrath and vindictive punishment is stuff of the past. We know our God is pure love, and that is what we emulate.

I'm taking down the posts which I feel are mean-spirited. This is a place for intelligent conversation - people speaking and listening - and ultimately growing. You're welcome to participate with those parameters in mind.
