I can see where you got confused tenet, and don't worry about our interactions, we have spoken enough to know each other and our characters.
My repsonse came a little later than it should have followed up and got out of synch.
originally i was responding to Monica's post where she stated that she was not sure that we are able to know the difference.
I replied briefly and than Patrick posted and said he would like to discuss it further. Than I made the post that you quoted here. And yes the topic did lead to a defining of good and evil which as I said I must be careful about so I do not come across as preaching. Your perception is proof that I am still having a problem expressing myself without seeming to be preaching. I am still working on that my fiend.
All I can do is make sure that I always add to my posts that these are nothing more than my personal thoughts on matters being discussed and I am not trying to recruit anyone to any particular religion, as I do not belong to any. I am obviously not expressing my thoughts in ways that will not be taken that way but I am trying to rewrite my posts so that I do not draw attention to myself.
That said tenet, I am still not sure what you are asking me though.
You claim I have made an admonition to people about mistaking good for evil, and you are not sure how that is pertinent to the discussion. Can you quote the place where I made you think that, so I can respond to it, and can you tell me why my stating that I would have a concern about that would be confusing to you?
And I can't say for sure that I will be able to respond fully because it will depend upon how this discussion seems to be looking to the mods. I cannot breach the trust they have placed in me. So I must be very discerning about how I respond and what topics I get involved in. I do have a thread called The Eyes of a Stranger where the mods want me to restrict certain opinions to. if you want to open this discussion there.
