i have got to get my stuff done...but these softballs are too tempting...just one more....you have even less understanding of that passage than the Milton Friedman quote.
You are betraying the depth of your ignorance with every additional criticism! YES i know about that passage, NO i do not think that passage is literal, YES i think there is a clear distinction between factual language and allegorical/parable language, both types of which are used in these posts with no problem of distinction on the part of the readers, and NO you do not understand what you are talking about once again because I interpret that passage in a way that is wholly alien to you. YES this is my private distinction, but we are talking about what I think here and YOU do not seem to grasp basic points re the inaccessibility and diversity of opinion on many things.
You keep trying to bait me Dan but you are out of your league. You throw me this little worm on a hook as if I were a baby trout. I am not. These waters are DEEP, man. You DON'T know what you are talking about, at least not when you try to pin me with it. You may have your criticisms of some other group down pat and you may have some other guy's views nailed to the wall, but you can't even begin to know what I think or believe. I tried very hard to convey this to you but you dismissed it out of hand.

It....is....not....simple....it....is....complex....most....of....your
...surface....level...assumptions....are....shallow....and...not
....thought...out...and....thus....useless
How can i say it any more clearly?
You desperately want to prove me wrong, yet you don't understand and don't know my heart and mind. Every time you challenge me you prove that even further by unveiling another false assumption on your part.
You don't know why I believe what I do, you don't know the specifics of what I believe or why, and I can't TELL you all those things in a HANDFUL of posts.
Maybe if i spoke in Chinese you would understand me better.
Swahili?
Latvian Orthodox?
