"Also you mentioned God gave you a commandment. That should be a red flag to anyone reading this, that Lou is not in a completely sane state of mind."
Says who? sigh.
I think you've written a mostly sensible and well-intentioned post. I deeply appreciate your compassion and attitude toward Lou re: "picking on" people - I really, really do. However, I feel offended at the above comment. I am a Christian and in my faith *I* place having a very personal relationship with my God and/or Christ in front of everything else in importance in my life. This may (actually, does)include at certain times - belief that the communication is a two-way one. I have that right, just as you have the right to believe otherwise.
I guess holding this belief makes me not sane as well? If so, I will happily join that club with Lou.
I don't think it was necessary to express your opinion that those who may feel they are in touch with God are insane. I think it actually took some of the focus and impact away from your post. I don't think Dr. Bob supports that sort of thing here and I wish you would rephrase that.
Thanks for listening and I hope I have been civil. I am trying very, very hard.
