Hey Pragmatist - Some were saying that I was mocking because I posted the HOLY HAIR HEALING CRUSADE and said I did not believe that anybodies HAIR had ever healed anybody! I think that was what it was about anyway - I was accused of MOCKING - but I was NOT mocking - just trying to show how absolutely ignorant it was to preach that HAIR HEALS!

Well actually I didn't. I've been reassured.

Well I could see that as one example. The way some people post one would think that there is page after page of mockery of standards. One person says something and suddenly everyone is a lib and hostile to conservative standards.

Consider the responses on this thread alone. Most of these posters are hostile to conservatives. They go ballistic when the very word 'standard' is used.

God couldn't possibly demand holiness, could He?

God does demand holiness. But He doesn't define it as standards.
