You pick up on words and phrases too much

Gary, you originally posted

Christianity in itself isn't open minded

not

Christianity in itself isn't fully open minded

You introduced the caveat later, thus "moving the goalposts".

If you don't wish to be misunderstood, you should try to post what you mean to post, not what you think you didn't mean to post and then have to explain what you posted actually meant something else by amending it later.........

Since there is no "body language" to read on a forum, in the immortal words of Boyzone "words are all we have", and people read what you type, not what you meant to type.

For instance, if I posted

Gary in himself isn't gay

but I meant

Gary in himself isn't fully gay

you can see how the qualifier (fully) actually changes the statement to mean something completely different.

Well go to the foot of our stairs!!..pick the bones out of that foreverwar, Gary has spoken.
It seems you should read his posts with one eye closed whilst humming a tune, that way you don't get bogged down facts and truth, I found that if you transpose every other word it brings a certain clarity to Gary's posts.

Officially there aren't, seeing as Synod does not recognise them.

But there are in reality, so the Synod can "not recognise" all it wants - perhaps it needs to face reality, rather than hoping if it ignores it long enough it will go away.
