Mike T.,
   I know I was not offended and I doubt Mike C. was offended.  When I 
asked - "Haven't we been here before?" it was because I vaguely remember 
Mike C. and I (and others) having a similar discussion.  I was just 
making the comment in the spirit of de ja vu (sp?).  There is no offense 
in that.  I don't mind discussing the issues again as it seems to be the 
very issues on everyone's minds this week.  In fact I will be preaching 
this week and seeking to address the tragedy and people's questions. 
Besides, this seems to be the usual thing on the forum.  Discuss 
something, it simmers down and then a few months later it pops up again. 
  How many times have we discussed baptist history (and I am not even a 
baptist) or music styles.  None of this offends me at all.  Sometimes it 
gets a little boring but offensive - no way.
   You are right in that the present situation does bring up a lot of 
the questions.  I think in the previous discussion it was more focused 
on What is the basis of our condemnation?  and this led to the issue of 
what happens to children who die in infancy.
   So relax, no offense taken, discuss away.  If there is an elephant in 
the room I am not one to avoid it.

Peace,
Steve
