    Okay. From what I saw, know1 was referring to the word of God specifically, as interpreted in the commandments which was culled by a mystic experience. That is different than the hypocrisy of the common man who does not have mystical awareness or even insight and who is confusing his own limits for the word of God or natural law.

    For example; please explain how the following thread exhibits a disdain for 'God' or for religion...

    Sorry - I guess it's just a vast majority of the threads as opposed to "every".

    i guess you only get support if you're straight.

    Or...as the article mentions....not an adulterer.

    I wonder if anyone thinks these troops will be treated any differently to the Nam vets a few years down the road?

    Yes. Did he distort the mystical interpretation he was referring to? Common man can align with mystical truths, or they can separate from them.

    On this specific point, he made the point that it is not God that condones killing, but that it is rather man who distorts God's word and justifies killing. Do you take issue with that?

    For me, the real adultery includes pre-marital sex. So by that definition, are any of us adulterers offended when people say it is immoral?
    Real adultery does not include pre-marital sex. That's fornication.

    You're not an adulterer, you're a fornicator, and the general had nothing to say about you or your "sins" - likely because he's enjoyed a bit 'a fornication himself.
