How about just "teaching" what is right about creationism rather than constantly condemning and putting others down as evil??
Is it "putting someone down as evil" to expose logical fallacies and bogus tactics?
You REALLY have no right to judge.
...says the one who is doing what?
It is really nothing but a contest on here for who can outwit the other.
Not at all. The truth, reality, all the facts - they're very good at defending themselves... if people see them clearly. The truth cannot be outwitted, so evolutionism targets the audience. Assumptions are smuggled in; terms are blurred; all manner of distractions are offered. That which is certain is portrayed as iffy, and that which is iffy is portrayed as certain. My strategy is to clarify - to remove the smokescreens. Whenever folks actually know the deal, we win.
Wit, to the extent I am able to employ it, serves many purposes. People learn better when they're happy or amused. People also pay more attention. It shows how unfounded the arrogance of the religion actually is. (I've seen it claimed that believing in evolutionism adds 20 I.Q. points.) It is also a deterrent to open, blatant stupidity & lies; albeit some manage to become utterly immune. (This does not help there cause, IMO.)
And, there's another potential to increase the attention paid by the audience: "Let me see if I can spot the mistakes too!" I like to imagine folks play this game. If they do, they'll soon become good at it, for there are many glaring errors to be found.
I think folks could well be overestimating my 'wit'. I mean just look at the material they give me to work with for cryin' out loud!
... I know you guys email privately. You both have emailed me! YOU have been respectful, but CTD hasn't.
Well that took guts...
Not that it merits it, but while I'm posting I might as well set the record straight. After being invited to do so, I PM'd Jeanie. I was never disrespectful to her in any way, and nothing I typed could
even accidentally be taken that way.
Jeanie, your actions have spoken more clearly to me than any of your erratic gibberish ever could.
SoSick, save it.... I'm sure CTD needs his cheering section, but you act like you know what you're talking about and don't.
If SoSick is acting, she's doing a better job than a few people I could name.
As for SoSick being a "cheering section"? You don't know the history. SoSick contributed quite a bit before retiring. A fair sight more than you, I must add.
Jeanie: Excuse me Bex....but I'm the one who's beliefs have been distorted and attacked which CTD started. You at least put it more nicely.... That is fine, but CTD just went further and further with it. I do think his "methods" are extremely childish.
If your views have been distorted, it should be a simple matter to set the record straight.
Oops! My bad. It's too late to edit. Guess your views are just going to have to remain the same.
Them's the breaks...
One suggestion: you're "spiritual superiority" complex is not so different from the evosickness symptom that makes them think themselves smarter than everyone else. Although nobody's come out & said so, I'm confident people can see right through it. You're digging yourself into a hole with that affectation/delusion.
As for the "Mormon issue(s)", I still prefer to leave the Mormons be. That I have a dispute with an internet entity who claims to be a Mormon should not be taken as evidence that I support, or could be persuaded to support any of the recent attempts to persecute these people and their families. I am steadfastly opposed to the establishment's campaign against them.
