I never made a personal attack on Penned, nor was I trying to be condescending. If he feels I was, I'll gladly apologize as that wasn't the tone I had when I responded. Now then, my being new to CC doesn't change the fact this pastor made no mention of an "overriding" reason or the fact she addressed other factors for why she and her family made this decision. I objected to his assumption, reading into her words and ignoring certain portions of her post, or whatever misunderstand he had that led him to write what he did.
I think God isn't on the side of assuming or knowing people's heart. Just as Penned, you're making an unfair assumption. His may have been by accident, yours is deliberate and shows your ignorance of my views. Ignorance isn't a bad word or an insult, it just means to be uninformed or misinformed. I'm not an "abortion apologist", in fact, I never made a personal stand about the issue of abortion. I only said it's unfair to say that "the overriding issue" was something that the pastor didn't say. She deliberately and explicitly stated her reasons which included more than the "overriding" issue he stated. I even said he has a case if he said God could step in and save her daughter, but he doesn't have a case in labeling "overriding" reasons on her behalf unless she explicitly stated so (which she didn't).
Thanks you for the kind welcome.
