Of course you shouldn't be impressed -- if you indeed have this 
need to think of capitalized "Love" as some ineffable all-encompassing 
one-size-fits-all solution to your every possible problem. Have you 
ever stopped to critically wonder where such a need or yearning might 
come from?  Hint: every mammal begins life enjoying an ineffable 
all-encompassing one-size-fits-all solution to its every possible problem.

What kind of monster -- to say nothing of "Christian" -- are you to 
even suggest that what I've written about the death of my son Blake is 
part of some "big joke"?  Is this how far you'll go in inventing excuses 
to "discount" what I say after your "collision" with what I defend as 
truth?  Do you simply not mind appearing hypocritically guilty of 
"the cowardice that shrinks from new truth; the laziness that is 
content with half-truths; the arrogance that thinks it knows all truth"?  
If one of us is treating this conversation as a "big joke", it's quite 
obvious who that person is.
