And since you read the Faith board, I am distressed to have my hitherto unquestioned faith in the Almighty questioned.
>I beleive the phraseology you proposed in a detailed brief about "I-statements" would suggest you state that you are distressed "when" you thought your hitherto unquestioned faith was questioned.
I'm now curious -- have you ever questioned your faith?
And I also wonder, do you appreciate that some people who hold a profound faith in what they beleive to be an actual supreme being might be distressed by an assertion, qualified only by an ambiguous collection of punctuation marks, that any mere mortal, even a doctor, is as reliable as the god in which they place -- or attempt to place -- absolute faith? I would wonder if Scientologists would be particularly taken back when they read a suggestion that a psychiatrist is as reliable as "god".
> However, I appreciate your caring enough to peruse the boards to bring to Dr. Bob's attention a small diversion between two people of deep faith in the Almighty and considerable affection for Dr. Bob, and bringing it to a wider audience.
