to rob lanphier dear rob when i read brian k s postings i find someone who is honestly seeking the truth when i read your response here i see condescension when you reply to a post reply to the post you quote this statement undermines any good points you might have had it was enough to make me stop reading sometimes i do come across condesending and i am sorry i come across that way at times thank you for the reproach i really do appreciate it i ll try to get better rob at the same time i have also learned that some people respond to the gentle approach while others respond only at a harsh rebuke brian k so far only responds to the latter and i am glad he responds at all in both cases of approach my intention is to be loving i am making no excuse for myself if i am coming across condesending i apologize for that rob sometimes brian k comes across as honest i know this but brian k vasillates back and forth one post looks honest the next is an excuse now he wants me to explain the universe in words or less i think brian kendig is really trying but he is too comfortable with his set of excuses i just want brian k to be honest with himself if he really wants to know he will ask questions and stop asserting irrelevant excuses which have nothing to do with my god i wish brian would read the bible for himself and come to his own decisions without being sidetracked with the temptation to mock god from my perspective rob when i look at brian kendig i see a man standing out in the middle of a highway off into the distance i see a mack truck heading right for him but brian k is faced away from the oncoming truck he doesn t see it here s is how i see the dialog me brian k please step aside before you get run over bk there is no truck me turn around at look bk no me look you will be healthier if you do take a look at the oncoming truck bk no explain to me why trucks exist me turn around or you will run over bk no i won t because i like hiking and tomorrow is tuesday me you blind fool why do you choose ignorance you have nothing to lose if you look but if do not look you will certainly lose your life i do not want to see you squashed all over the road bk it is my life to lose i rather not look besides a truck running over me will not harm me and by the way i really have an open mind so is my motivation to belittle brian or to love brian the best i know how i do not wish to single brian kendig out because millions if not billions of people fall into the same category perhaps all people fall have fallen into this category at one time in their lives i have i can now see the truck behind brian my hope is that brian will look and will see the ramifications of the truck coming towards him my hope is that brian will want to step out of the way my fear though is that brian will instead choose to glue himself to the middle of the highway where he will certainly get run over but if he so chooses he so chooses and there is nothing i can do beyond that to change his mind for it is his choice but at this very moment brian hasn t gotten even that far he is still at the point where he does not want to look sure he moves his eyeball to appease me but his head will not turn around to see the entire picture so far he is satisfied with his glimpse of the mountains off in the distance thank you again rob for your reproach i really do appreciate it my wife tells me the same thing at times i will try to do better
