black church fires

You might want to take a closer look at your motives here.  To state that
this is like telling you to go sit in the back of the bus shows that you
have some feelings that you are haboring that are misguiding your
action.  Mark was only trying to keep something that is tending to move
towards causing problems from doing so by asking people to pray about
the situation.  

And your attempt to compare it to talking about One God is another
indication of these inner feelings.  This is an apostolic mailing list
designed specifically for the purpose of such discussions.  The
discussion of burning churches is not a biblical discussion but rather
one of current events.  Many times current events can bring out personal
feelings in people that can cause arguments and messages that are not
what people on this list are seeking.  I am sure Mark's statement that
you should pray about it is so that if the discussion is to continue it
will be done in light of God's love and not become a mud slinging
contest such as your statement in this message leads it towards.

If you have a chip on your shoulder you need to find an appropriate place
to take care of it.  The best one is in your prayer closet.
