Your response to me when I called you on it initially was that
you "were taking your collar off on this one." I didn't get your

rather than acknoledging them and either standing behind them or
apologizing for having said them is only making your hypocrasy that
much more apparent to everyone on this board. You earlier compared
your plight to that of Jesus. How would he have handled this?
Certainly not the way you are reverend.
