Being blocked

I have now been blocked by three Christians on this site.

The reason given by the third is that I have been "abusive", this 26 times! I suppose our perception of exactly what constitutes abuse is very subjective.

I have simply suggested, in reasonably polite language, that said Christian does not in fact represent the only "true" knowledge of Christ, does not in fact walk the "only" way. That in fact there is a Universal Christ beyond anyone's personal experience and understanding.

This appears too hot to handle which I find regrettable.

As HL Mencken said: "...in the United States, alone among the great nations of history, there is a right way to think and a wrong way to think in everything...in the most trivial matters of everyday life."

"The American people, I am convinced, really detest free speech. At the slightest alarm they are ready and eager to put it down. Looking back, I sometimes marvel that I managed, despite this implacable hostility, to launch some of my notions. War, in this country, wipes out all rules of fair play, even those prevailing among wild animals. .... I have not written a single line in this war, and I wrote none in the last, that I am not prepared to ratify today. There has been no acquiescence in my enforced silence. .... The government I live under has been my enemy all of my active life. When it has not been engaged in silencing me, it has been engaged in robbing me. So far as I can recall I have never had any contact with it that was not an outrage on my dignity and an attack upon my security."
