   Robert, I have found this a constant habit of yours, a relentless habit,   
   in our relationship over the years!  It is very, very frustrating and   
   completely unproductive.   
      
   All it has ever done is keep you where you are.  Striving to live under   
   the law of your personal "Bible" interpretations in an ongoing sinner   
   state; a curse on your life.
