You whine about me misreading your posts blah, blah blah....

Snip I regret that we never got around to discussing the craftmanship of
the table per my OP.

SnipWell, that was not all you had in the OP, and I was not too interested
in it. Is that a problem?

This is my first post. The OP of this thread started by myself.

Snip"Based on the reaction to some of the Christmas postings I'm sure this
question will wind up being a discussion on Christianity and religion. Here
it goes......

What did you think of the table they showed Christ having built in the movie
"The Passion of the Christ"? Any idea who built it and was it constructed
using techniques available of the time? Did you get the symbolism of the
table?

Before you respond to this please note, I'm on topic since I'm discussing a
table built using neander techniques built by an early carpenter or at the
very least, a depiction of one."

I was replied to by Glen.

I'm not sure that I did. I would like yo hear.

I responded to Glen's question with my second post where I drew the
analogies of the table. Here is how your convenient memory works.

SnipSince your second post was a response to my concerns about the movie's
non-adherence to the text and anti-semitism, it is not odd , surely,
that we didn't discuss the merits of the film. There's nothing
stopping you from starting a new thread on some NG about this, if
that's what you're after (I did, BTW, grant cudos to the sublimity of
Satan in Gibson's film. She was stunning, for the most part.)

No it wasn't. My second post was a direct reply to Glen consisting of my
interpretation of the analogies of the table in the movie. It was after
this post you contributed your first. Your analysis of the movie using my
analogies as parodies. Creative but not exactly what one might call
respectful. A theme you've touted in every one of your posts. "I get no
respect."

I don't even know your name. H is all you provide. Well, "having to do
with wood", let me ask you a simple yes or no question.

snipI get the impression you think criticism is a bad thing. It is not--it
is inescapable, in fact. The only thing that matters is if your criticism
and critical approaches are sound or not. That includes your approach to
religion. It all has to go through your brain, even faith, so you might as
well put what god gave you to work to good ends.

Do you really subscribe to this train of thought? I would like to challenge
you to simply answer yes or no.
