Telling others that you are, for example, a Pentcostal is no cause for shame nor does it make me (I cannot speak for others) prejudge you or decide in advance what you MUST believe (as if I would know without asking you first). I take people as I find them. If they are good people their denominational or church affiliation does not matter. If they act like jerks then it doesn't matter what they profess about God they are being jerks. Most people are a mixture. Sometimes good and sometimes they act like jerks. Take them as you find them. Read their posts with care if you intend to respond. That is all one can reasonably ask in a chat forum like this. We cannot hear tone of voice, nor see facial expressions, nor notice gestures and postures so in the end all we have to go by is what is written in their posts. That is okay with me. I rarely delve into people's private business. I even less often try to analyse their unwritten motives. What is a surprise in here is how often people read a bit of what I write or read it all and reach spruious conclusions and then accuse me of wrong doing. But in the end I do not much care if they want to do that. It is not something that harms me. It may make participation in CH unpalatable or impossible but that is not a great thing is it?
