Sarcasm is a foreign language to you? Perhaps I should have added one of Rush's codicils in my post about illustrating absurdity by being absurd.

The poster to which I was responding was somewhat foolishly taking the author's extremely leftist spin about the interview with Dan Cathy seriously.

Mr. Cathy was trying to educate the poor addled Bruce Horovitz about Christian charity, and the reporter took that to mean (or worse, deliberately twisted his words to imply) that the CEO has now somehow "caved" on his previous position. The poster swallowed that absurd claptrap, and that was the context of my post.

As regards your post, you are probably right, but for me to judge what occurs between the seconds one takes their last breath and then stands before the Lord in judgement, that's beyond my pay grade. It is hoped that a sinner can be convinced to repent before then.

Who says I didn’t appreciate your sarcasm?

That wasn’t the subject of my comment. Neither did I deny that last-minute (and sincere) acts of repentance can occur.
