OPP is one of the few places I know where people from extreme political points of view can meet and have a discussion. Everyone complains that our debates degenerate into simple insult fests. I keep trying to set some kind of standard for the talks, but I keep failing.
I do not believe my proposed standards are very high. Just be clear, post links, and defend the muck you throw on the wall, in the hope that it sticks. I know, I know. As always, I am talking to myself.
You are asking for a pretty tall order when you expect someone who is living a lie to be honest, in my opinion. It's pretty clear that kemmer is trying his personal best to convince everyone (and probably himself, too) that the way he has chosen to live is fine. And the lengths he is going to to do that here on OPP are incredible!
What is truly sad is that he doesn't see his falling away from God as something to be concerned about. He seems to see it as joke....or at least he jokes about it. Maybe the jokes and one-liners are his way of dealing with his guilt??? Who knows what goes on in a mind that is as lost as he is right now.
