It seems that we always end up in the slops when we start responding to specific posts versus just stating our own opinions. I did not interpret
Giu as attacking svrenovation and thought svrenovatio's response was hot headed. I also thought renovatioa's view on the "faith sharing" thread was accurate.

At the moment i am wondering if my second post in this thread was too directed at Cam, I'll have to re-read it to be sure. I am sure that I could have just as well driven Cam away from the discussion as challenge his views. Better to not alienate someone whom I might be learning something from in the next post, by not making it personal. I've had to eat my crow on this site, and most it well due, and caused by being too personal versus dispassionately on topic.

This is a great thread idea, perhaps one of the best, and it is going to be controversial because the nature of it is inherently philosophical. And, when it comes to philosophy, men of good will can and will differ. This is probably not a topic that is going to change a lot of opinions, but perhaps it will allow us to consider the fullness of the topic in a way we have not previously.

You guys should shake hands and put this behind you both. We've got more in explanation than we do in fight. 'prolly not that bigga fight.
