You don't think the title of this very thread is provoking enough? Can we get back to discussing what, exactly? That evolutionists are evil-doers and that their motives for coming to this forum (a forum devoted to both sides of the debate) are suspicious? I'm replying to something that has been said. While that may seem provoking to you, it is I who have been provoked by the original post itself, not the other way around. I realize that this isn't a statement you, personally, are making but when you ask if we can get back to the subject at hand (in this thread) ... well ... that is the subject at hand. I'd be only too happy to discuss something more concrete and mature in another thread but I have no intention to back down when hostile statements (again, not by you personally) have been made.

Fair enough. I won't contest against that statement. This does, however, insinutate of your own volition that you agree posters CTD, SoSick and ikester do much to stir problems and are full of bias in their posts too. Could I ask that you make the same request of them?

Over emotional?....I've re-read the post and can honestly not figure out the problem. I was expressing my view of biblical statements and how there are strong differences with evolution and the biblical creation account. What exactly did I say or do in that post to warrant you trying to start this?


Could you point out which post in particular you're talking about? As of this post there are 6 pages and I know I've posted numerous times throughout this thread. Thanks.

On the contrary. Part of the reason I don't bother to post a great deal about evolution like LindaLou and RAZD do so skillfully is because it's very difficult for me to even begin a debate when my opponents in a discussion routinely employ ad hominem, red herring, quote mining and all the other tactics which other posters have observed time and time again. This is the only forum where I've come across such posting styles. I post regularly in another, completely unrelated forum, and have been a member there for literally 10+ years. I find it engaging when someone is on the other side of the debate from me. Often times they make intriguing observations that I hadn't thought of. The tone there is neither argumentative nor hateful. Instead it's more of a "Dude, check this out, for real. Things aren't quite how you're interpreting them. Let me explain further" type of approach.

See my original remark regarding the very name of this thread. Again, I ask you to consider how you would feel if you saw a post entitled "Christianity: What a Joke!"

Bex, I'm wondering actually if it irritates you when there is just not enough fighting?

Are you certain you're not practicing what is known in the psychology world as projection here?
