Chosen Raven, I want to make clear right now that the Bible says that Christians are to have respect for those in authority over us, and I would even venture to imagine that that pertains to authority that we *disagree* with. I point this out because your post (quoted above) was
extremely disrespectful toward Ark. Ark's behavior is between himself and God, and yours is not justified by his. If you have a problem with some way that Ark presents his ideas, I would suggest that you respond Biblically, by telling him privately that you were offended by his actions, rather than by openly criticizing him and undermining his authority. I know how easy it is to get carried away when we're upset about something, but that's not an excuse for responding poorly. Please take this into consideration in the future.
Be Thou my Vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best Thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.
Be Thou my Wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.
Be Thou my battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.
Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine Inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art.
High King of Heaven, my victory won,
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
