I guess it's a matter of finding the right tone.
Indeed.
It is not your affair, but I have been trying to do too many things at once lately and did not even see (i.e., read) this line. It actually makes me think your next comment...
If instead of saying to a Protestant "You're a heretic on your way to hell" we say "You may qualify for invincible ignorance," we are not helping them or acting charitably.
...was intentionally covering the extremes. If so, all of my other comments were both unnecessary and, unintentionally, stupid. C'est la vie.
If this IS the case, thank you for bearing with me, Mike, and patiently refraining from pointing out that which should have been obvious to me from the start (but was not, due to my hasty reading of your post).
I need a bit of a break, I guess. When one tries to do too many things at one time, it seems that none of them gets done as well as it should be.
On a similar note, I read (or saw) a line about being saved BY invincible ignorance in one of your posts (the same one, I think). I was about to address the use of BY, rather than IN, etc., but when I went back to the post, I read IN. My eyes are going, you changed it, or I have been working on too many irons in too many fires. Whichever, I will be backing off in the coming days and weeks. Godspeed to you and yours.
