I felt he was characterizing your post, even though he presented them if they were quotes. And I felt his characterization was fairly accurate, though it might have been a bit too vehement (this from one whose posts are mostly too vehement, in retrospect).

I found this thread to be quite engaging to me personally, exploring areas that I long have questioned, learning from diverse posters. We were just presenting ideas for others to consider.
Then
Disciple jumped in with a fervent opinion. I have heard it before, but I passed on it since he is new to the forum, and it's hard to know what someone really thinks based on a short post. I think it would be better if
Disciple register and then begin to elaborate his/her views being mindful of prior discussions. That said,
Peter D's paraphrased quote of your post did seem to take on unintended liberty.
Can we all please turn the volume down so this discussion does not get closed down. I, for one, hear much better this way.
