And, I totally understand Scotty's point, and I believe that Scotty has said numerous times that God deals with each person individually, and he respects that, and I respect Scotty for feeling that way.
Bottom line - not all liberals are liberated, and not all conservatives are bound. Many people follow standards because they truly believe them, and many people have left "standards" because God has truly liberated them.
In the mix, you have conservatives who are conservative but don't know why, and you have liberals who are bitter at the UPC.
Bottom line folks, PO said it, we must all respect each other and pray for each other, and stop with the broad brushing!

Thank you, Michael. Somehow I knew you could put it in the best words. All of what you said is very good, the highlighted is the best.
Oh, and I corrected your spelling of "believe", just 'cause it's fun to catch you making a typo.
