I'd answer but I would probably be censored and then censured. I guess that someday I will be told what phrase of mine was considered "putting words in other members' mouths".

Looks like the best method to stop dissent here is to prevent posting. Somewhat Hitleresque or at least W-esque.

It is ok to call other people stupid by saying their beliefs are stupid, but not repeat my interpretation of what is written. If you believe that you're not calling others stupid, then you are sadly mistaken and really don't understand how people think.

What you decide to do is part of what you are. What you believe is part of what you are. As a Christian you should understand that. As a person, you should see the reactions of people like Bex who see criticism of their beliefs as personal attacks.

But you don't seem to care about that at all. You simply attack and use the most emotional language you can to put down other ideas. It seems like the tactics of someone without facts to back up their position. It is a debate strategy and seems like a favorite of Hovind's. Perhaps that's what gave you the idea that it is acceptable behavior to put down others.

Well, that's about it for my rant. Maybe you will be allowed to read it.

BTW: I heard you were having health problems that had been exacerbated recently. I am glad you are feeling better. Despite our fervent disagreement, I do not wish you ill.
