have quite an angry tone. >>

Meschell:

Maybe instead of re-reading my post you could actually ask me directly what
my feelings were. (not said in an angry way) I'm not sure how you get angry
tone when I actually wrote the words "sarcastic tone". Maybe being sarcastic
is a British thing that some Americans really don't understand.

If you are comfortable living with someone who you give control to over you
life then there's really no need to be defensive is there? I absolutely
believe there is a power greater than myself and my belief in God or whatever
I chose to call that "thing" has nothing to do with the relationship between
a husband and a wife. IMHO

I think in this country (being the USA) it's called Freedom of Speech and
it's part of the Constitution and I was exercising my right. Of course this
is the Internet governed by other rules and so they may not apply.

I'm not going to apologize for my belief system, as I'm sure you would not
apologize for your religious beliefs. I know what annoys me about father's
who want control and it's up to others to take a look at themselves if it
bothers them.

Anyway I get this in digest form now and I see from the digest I've received
there are lots of "Father's who want control" answers so I'll go and see if
someone else has taken offense and is defensive about what I say. In
psychology being defensive is all about something going on inside of a person
that strikes a nerve and it brings up things to think about.
