ONE love, blood, life
Right. Some of you are aware that some weeks ago I started an obnoxious and insulting thread here, and proceeded to post various other obnoxious insults in the thread. I admit I was wrong to do this, and I apologise, without reservation, to those I to whom I caused offence. Without wanting to make excuses for this behaviour, this was caused in part by me posting after excessive consumption of alcohol substances, a foolish mistake. I'm not the type to start rows in bars, so equally I ought to have known better than to do so on an internet forum. In part it was also caused by certain questioning of my own beliefs, again this does not excuse me.
What I was attempting to do was to remind people that the words of the Bible should not be used to justify certain political standpoints. While this was a legitimate point of view, it was not a particularly interesting one and the manner in which I attempted to argue it was rather stupid and calculated to cause offence. Clearly the fact that I do not share the beliefs of most Christians does not permit me to mount inflammatory attacks on those beliefs. I hope that those who were justifiably offended can now accept this apology. That's all I have to say (PS For those who did not see original thread, you are better off)
