brey, I have attempted to avoid commenting on articles that you
have started in DT.
However, with this current thread, I like to voice my opinion on
which this who series of post had taken place.
Up to the point of the 10 reasons, I really have no issue with it.
It is the opinion of the writer and in a way, you have endorsed it
and this being your forum you have every right to post it in anyway
you please.
With your personal questions, I think the thread will take a
different turn.
Had anyone responded to this thread, it will inevidently take
the path that why should a true believer follow the traditions of a
pagan culture... therefore, the answer will have to be a YES. A NO
answer will bring about an endless debate on the "erroneous
theology" of the church.
Again, really, a loaded question (in light of DT's beliefs).
Invidently the answer will have to be NO, otherwise, another
endless debate and condemnation. 
with the current exchange between you, vince and some other
forumites, it again will become the endless debate on whether the
church is right or not.
My personal opinion is: if you had left the post as the ten reasons
without attempting to get opinions (which in reality are not really
opinions to you, but an "erroneous teaching"), it is probably
better.
You may already notice that I no longer have any wish to debate on
theological issues with you. The reason: while I am willing to
accept that you might be right in some points,
your view of my theology is that I am definitely
wrong.
While I am more than happy to write to you and exchange life
stories and what I do with my Lego, I am no longer encouraged to
participate in threads pertaining to theology.
