So you're saying when you originally came up with that signature you were too dense to realize the way it would be taken? I guess I can accept that. My apologies then.

Certainly, you seem more than content to summarily parse someone's comments to fit whatever characterization suits your purposes. |

Honestly, I'm working on a third option for you, because I feel kind of bad for you right now. I'll get back to you on it.

You say that one can't hold God blameless AND blame his prophets. This assumes that his prophets will only do what God wants them to do. The implication being either: 1. God wanted his prophets to prevent blacks from holding the priesthood for a good reason (a defense of the ban); or 2. God had a bad reason and should be blamed and his prophets just did what God wanted (a defense of the ban). Either way, you are saying that God's prophets COULDN'T have screwed it up (because to say that means you have to hold God accountable, according to you, leading to the two possibilities listed above). No matter how you cut it, you DID defend the ban. And, if you believe what you are actually saying, I don't see why you are embarrassed about that defense (because you would believe that it was God's will and was correct no matter what we think about it). |
