I don't remember saying I didn't say that "constantly," but the threads do
get complex. I don't "constantly" dodge criticism. I take it and get it all the
time.
Maybe my arguments are sound.
I am not used to the structure you suggest. I study religion, not simply
Christianity which did not develop in a vacuum, but all religion. I began posting
on hbe-l where I had to debate scientists. references were demanded of me.
Opinions held no weight. All my quotes bear on the issues at hand.
EVERYTHING I SAY IS TRUE. IF IT IS ALSO HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY IN TODAY'S
SOCIETY, MAYBE THAT'S THE PROBLEM. HAVE YOU NOTICED THAT JUST BEING A TRADITIONAL
CHRISTIAN CAN BE HIGHLY INFLAMMATORY IN TODAY'S SOCIETY?
I'm not complaining, just defending arguments that I support with references
from all times and places as regards religion.
Mel Gibson's unpopular right now too with the liberals in Hollywood, and the
Jews who call him an anti-semite. Be that as it may, I hear he's made a good
movie.
