[blindlaw] Subject: Original Sin

[Nicole Askins]

Dear mr. Evans,
Thank you for making it clear that that's not your true name.
Because just as your name is hidden so is your awareness of anything
related to Christianity and the faith there in
I read thoroughly through your religious diatribe. I pondered you're
arrogant religious assertions. It was very hard to take seriously. I won't
go into detail. But I will say first, this is a listserv dedicated to
assisting individuals who are blind and have low vision. This is certainly
not the place for you to so arrogantly spew your assertions about your
religious ideology over another's. Completely out of line.
Moreover, for you too so arrogantly suggest that your practice of faith is
somehow Superior to any others is ludicrous.
You know nothing about the tenets of Christianity. You know nothing about
the behavior patterns of Western people. And I know that because of all
that you spewed here within this list serve. Quite frankly I'm not just
offended by your statement I am disgusted.
Lastly, it is quite evident for me to conclude that your practice of
religion is just that. Legalism. Religiosity. And has no impact on your
personal Behavior, love kindness acceptance forgiveness and other practical
practices of a spiritual person clearly escapes you.
The reason why no one wants to go toe-to-toe with you to debate your
diluted ideology is because time is too precious of a thing to spend one
such foolishness.
Perhaps, you should reflect on why you are thirsting 4 argumentation and
validation. If you are so secure with your religious superiority, why do
you need to pontificate? Perhaps you're still thirsty for something more.
