LGK: Correction. I do not wave flags. I write things that many I think of as REVS--that is, people out there who I respect--seem to enjoy reading.

Of course you have your opinion. Whether anyone agrees with you or your points of view is always subjective.

And in light of that thought, you did call me a psychopath, threw out the frequent Ad hominem, and like a child who wants attention, tried to rally others here to your side when ranting in favor of your opinion over those you felt didn't deserve any respect.

Your actions speak louder than your claims to being self righteous.

Understanding the general lack of interest in your narcissism does seem to escape you.

1.)I have an interest in addressing your narcissism, since it supersedes the philosophy of religion. 2.) I also have an in interest to bring the attention back to the Thread Topic, which by the way might actually be the reason this thread gets any hits at all.
Obviously when so many bypass the conversation after finding it has little to do with the thread topic and more about Rev. L.G.King and his world of beliefs and opinions, someone might question why out of 6 million hits there are only about 75 people who participate and less than 800 responses.

If the thread content was to dive more into philosophy rather than the repetitive content of your personal opinions, your personal biography, family vacations and the need for constant attention, it might get more people involved.

Maybe...

The idea that your interest is in drawing attention to yourself rather than the Thread Topic has already been addressed.
You must be having a senior moment...

Thanks, Ellis ... But, if it helps get attention... what's wrong with giving an idea the " kiss-of-life", as you call it? Isn't getting attention, among other things, what spurs writers to keep on writing?

I was addicted to the Hokey Pokey, but then I turned myself around!!
