Here's the thread where I quoted Miller's insightful knowledge from ted.

Perhaps you could highlight for us all how I took them out of context, and while your at it highlight any other possible meaning Miller could have been getting at in any other "context". Are you asserting that Miller never believed that there was no prohibition against slavery in the bible? He did believe that and he stood by it. If he were still here, to his credit, he wouldn't abandon his beliefs as quickly as you would have him. Which I think is more disparaging to the deceased then speaking ill of them, which I still can't find where I did speak ill of him in my post, so your latin is off the mark.

Sorry if you, buzz and Gr8day don't like being reminded of his closely held beliefs on the bible and slavery. But if you find his beliefs offensive, than your issue really isn't with me.

I stand my statement that he was well liked by the membership.

nca225, you carefully crafted your post to disparage the beliefs of the deceased without stating anything outright blatant, and you damn well know it. You used a thread that was meant to honor and remember Miller to belittle him with your subtle dishonor. Your pretending to be squeaky clean is revolting, but not surprising. What is notable is to what depths of depravity you will lower yourself to further your anti-God agenda.

BTW, does the "membership", by which you say Miller was well liked, include you? I think not.

SRH

It won't be easy, not for me anyway, but just maybe I'll get to meet Miller down the road.

Miller forgave everybody. He is an example for us to follow.

You took it completely out of context, as Miller pointed out later in the same post, he was making the point that you cannot judge the past by the present. You clearly read that and chose to leave that part out.

You also damn with faint praise. I find it interesting that faint praise would not be true enough to be chiseled into your own headstone.

If you can�t say something nice....


Best,
Ted

Miller was a good guy, he was a positive contributor who will be missed

Miller had a knack for mathematics. He was highly intelligent and while I gathered he was self-taught and his education was mostly through hard knocks and experience which was better than formal schooling. While he rarely showed flashes of displeasure with posters, when he did it was measured and never aggressive. In summary, he was a gentleman. Gil

I'm trying to mourn Miller's passing in a positive light.
So, I'm handling my measuring tools, and carding files.

Please don't spoil his memory with petty bickering.

He was born and raised in a far different time than most of us.

Celebrate the good.

How so? He used his belief that the bible does not prohibit slavery to justify his argument. How is that out of context? Are you contending that Miller was only a sunshine friend to his beliefs and readily dumped them when convenient? That wasn't Miller.

You fellows seem upset about something that is beyond my control. Its not up to me how you interpret what Miller believed in or didn't. It smacks of hypocrisy that your upset at me about a belief of his that is well documented. He stood by it in life, why don't you let him in passing? And frankly, if you are only mourning your idealized version of the man, you really aren't mourning the man at all.

I suggest you look more inward on this and figure out what is making you upset or just accept Miller on the whole because if your total measure of a person stops at their knowledge of firearms and their willingness to share it, you've made a gross miscalculation along the way.

I stand by my statement, he was indeed well liked by the membership.

I suppose we owe our atheist friends here the same respect for their beliefs as we demand for our own. This is a memorial thread for one of our own, one of our best. Not the place for rancor...Geo
