Because, many of you had sworn oaths and committed to creeds before joining the church. For instance, if you had vowed to Satan that you'd serve him, then you turn around and join the church, it's not so much whether or not Satan was wrong, but that you betrayed him. That you are untrustworthy.

You know, Gad, I realize that you've taken heat for it in the past, but I have to say: I don't think that your avatar looks like an upside-down cross at all. Rather, to my eyes, it looks like what some might call a "flaming sword," as it were. But, perhaps I'm just imagining things.

I wouldn't say "imagining". maybe it's that you happen to interpret, by present society's standards, for the best and give people the benefit of the doubt. You see the glass as half full. I have a lot of respect for that, your generosity and integrity is an example for the rest of us. I can even see it when dealing with apologetics. Sometimes I just have to bite my tounge, because while others attack your posts for "going to far", I'm often left thinking you've really given them the benefit of the doubt, and had it been me, it would have been far more negative.

Gad, sometimes you are more like a Korihor than a Gad. Not that there's anything wrong with that.
