Hi Lynnmn,

As Bex has said, this was an attempt to characterize CTD as a non-christian because of his mocking of anyone who believed the theory of evolution to be true and his use of long-discredited "facts" to throw doubt on the biological, geological, and paleontological sciences. At the time, I actually thought CTD was trying to make creationists, and thusly fundamentalist Christians, look stupid by saying that his cardboard construction arguments were the actual beliefs of those people. Now, I don't think that.

Interestingly, what you have done is called a quote mine. It is basically, digging a statement out of context that provides an impression that the person quoted is saying something that is actually different than what the person was saying in the full context of what he wrote or said. Although you had no intent to misrepresent what I said and, by association, my feelings about Christ, you still did.

This can be and has been done with Bible passages pulled out of context. A number of unBiblical movements have been started within the Church by such misunderstanding and misrepresentation.
