PeacefulBeliever and I wanted to have a conversation regarding this topic. We agreed, through pm's, to have it here.
The first post was originally written by PeacefulBeliever and has been transferred here. The second post was my reply to her and has also been transferred here. We both agreed to bringing our posts here and want to continue to have respectful conversation because we feel it's a good topic to grapple with and learn what we can about.
Our posts came from a thread that went off the rails. We were not involved in the rancor and our posts did not cause any rancor and we don't want to call attention to a thread that was closed or continue any rancor, or disrespect the mods, so we are not doing the "reply with quote" option, but are just copying our two posts to here, by the agreement of us both, so we can continue our respectful discussion.
