Then maybe at the day of judgement they'll get all the blessings and you will go to a lesser heaven.

Is the Prodigal Son going to a lesser heaven?

I think we are talking about seperate things.
I do agree that people have influence, for good or bad, on others. I simply maintain that in the final analysis we control or own thoughts and actions and whatever we become or don't become is up to us - not others (save Christ of course).

Yes, I agree with you...hopefully, we accept responsibility for our own actions, and take accountability if we act wrongfully. I guess it's a fine line, between being our own keeper, and our brother's keeper.

Men are confused. They're conflicted. They want a woman who's their intellectual equal, but they're afraid of women like that. They want a woman they can dominate, but then they hate her for being weak. It's an ambivalence that goes back to a man's relationship with his mother. Source of his life, center of his universe, object of both his fear and his love. Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider, Northern Exposure, Cicely, 1992
There is nothing more pathetic than the anti anti-communist. - Aristotle
