text: Thanks WS for a pertinent question,
  
  “Should we ‘lord over’ and threaten others, or stand up for them?”
  
  Let me respond with a question; When is standing up for you not to ‘lord over’ those who find your rhetoric arrogant, insensitive, and unwelcome, because you relentlessly act so unwelcomingly?
  
  Your undifferentiated bible-quote-hurling rhetoric is at its core passive aggressive.  
  
  Your question implies you believe that aggression is justified by the proper choice of a target.
  
  In the old testament, people like you were stoned to death by the community.  
  
  In Jesus time, should you have been hurled at his feet, he would have shewed us away and urged you to go and sin no more.
  
  Actually, there is space for us all here at Jesus feet. One doesn’t have to fight one’s way into the space at Jesus’ feet. The only admission requirement is one’s self-acceptance and acceptance of the rest of us as unrepentant sinners gathered at his feet.
