Dudes and Chicks,
I wanted to reiterate my cyber love for all my CUF contemporaries. One of the things I really enjoy about this group is the ability to let discussions go, get a bit heated, and then allow self-moderation and cooler heads to prevail.
I don't like to bag on CB because there are some good folks over there, but cowboy's thread is an example of something that could have been deleted very quickly. Had that happened, we would have missed out on some interesting dialogue.
I appreciate the opinions, esp the dissenting ones, and the ability to step back afterwards and head off to the next topic. This is our own little School of the Prophets, minus the tobacco spittin', the poor dental hygiene and the polygamous relations (speaking for myself, of course). Also minus actual Prophets or authority, but you get my point.
I have adopted a new position for when debates get heated. A way to signal to folks that while I disgaree, I still have love and possible homoerotic feelings for you. I found it on the web a long time ago and was saving it for the day when He returned to our fold. It was supposed to be a ceremonial thing, but since it appears that the day may never arrive, I think it is fitting that His image be used to invoke peace and fraternity.
Btw, yes I found this on the web as is. I have no idea why it exists or what purpose it serves, but when I stumbled across it, I felt the sudden rush of adrenaline that only guys like Pizarro and Magellan must have felt as they spotted land off in the horizon.
