At what point in my OP did I, to any extent, imply my point was related to confrontation? My point was about the responsibility of life and death, and the poor choice I made. Never was anything about confrontation mentioned. You're the one who tied my point into confrontation, which is why I am now calling it to your attention that your interpretation of my point is inaccurate.
The section of my OP that this quote is questioning does not, in any way, suggest confrontation.
It does not suggest that you oppose differing viewpoints. It does not instruct or imply that variety in beliefs is a bad thing. It discusses the evils of choosing death over mercy, and how I regret ending an innocent creature's life.
Your regret comes from an entirely different angle...one I neither suggested nor support. I wanted to make this clear.
I don't agree. You've warped my message to mean something different.
It offends people of the faith, for no reason other than you don't agree with them. Not everyone will agree with you, and you should accept that. I am not encouraging anyone to confront anything; violence and abrasion are not the points I am making here.
Simply remember to be kind to the innocent creatures...they are what we should have been.
Your tone hints deeply at a certain disrespect for life in general. I am no longer surprised you entirely missed the point of this thread. I hope that, someday, you will learn how beautiful life is, no matter what form it takes.

You're correct. I did ask, and you did answer. I was simply making it clear that your point was not the same as my point. I was stating that our messages are not the same.
I was talking about regretting killing something, and you are talking about confrontation over religious beliefs. I want to make this thread about peace, not confrontation...if it's all the same to you.
If you find that positive messages are beyond you, the door is over there. Have a good day.
OK? And how did you figure this out about me? I never dismiss your experience. I considered it and answered your question. No dismissal.

Your message, due to my indiscretion, is undermining my message.
That's why I'm trying to curb the confrontational responses.
Again, if you don't understand this, there are other threads...
