Oh Dena you babble like I do. It's so hard to stop once you get started, and so hard to tell what you're going to say until it's too late to turn back, and now you're blocked again? I think Dr B is trying to test your patience. Forgiveness? Tollerance? Well, sing a hymn. It may make you feel better.
I don't think you have ever written anything that I couldn't enjoy reading. Is it OK to say that as a Christian I don't quite agree with your interpretation of the Bible's definition of God? Even so, you have the privilege to believe as you wish, as we all do.
Perhaps you might state your faith as your "belief" and own it yourself, so others won't feel judged or purgatoryed. Personally I have never felt condemned to such fate by you or anyone else, because I don't believe there is such a place, but that is how I choose to believe.
You have to admit that it is tempting to pretend we have the power to purgatory someone. Zap, you're gone into outer darkness, just like that. Bob, have you ever tried forgiveness?
