Please take to heart the request to stop the negative characterizations that are not the natural result of a complete analysis that we all have had the privilege of seeing or being part of. Unless you are making the statement as a conclusion to such an analysis and discussion that actually leads to the finding of blaspheme, being Satanic, etc., you are simply using negative terms to poison the thinking of others without actually establishing that the claim is true.
The point is not that you can't be right, but that you haven't established that you are right. Therefore you have not earned the right to make the statement as part of any "discussion." I'm not saying that this is a forum rule. But if you ever intend to materially participate in a real discussion or analysis of the issues surrounding the LC, you need to understand some of the "rules" of logical argument. If we are to truly decide anything, then we have to arrive at sound conclusions based on verifiable facts, not feel our way to them based on the names we call them. I've been part of the start of some discussions that were joined in by persons who saw one claim of an error (not an ultimate conclusion, but merely a claim) and metaphorically started boiling the oil, plucking the chickens, heating the tar, etc. rather than waiting for there to be a conclusion (or helping to arrive at that conclusion). And we never reached a conclusion because too many quit the discussion either to join the lynch mob, or because of frustration at the inability to actually engage in a rational discussion and reach a sound conclusion.
That is the better goal than just painting a bad picture with opinions.
Yes, you are entitled to your opinions. But if all you want to do is continue with these kinds of opinions, there are some of us that will either continue to push back, or will simply ignore you altogether. I doubt you really want either on a permanent basis.
