Oh, he'
s so adogmatic that he refuses to join our crusade against the heretics that use the
words "debt" and "debtors" in The Lord's Prayer!!!
Please understand, I am adogmatic. I don't care about virgin births, throwing
salt over a shoulder, or who was "daddy's favourite" hundreds of years ago! Can we discuss things that matter - and can be defined - in a sensible manner? ... Didn't think so. Peace. *walks away sadly*
