Sorry, but you’re not in a position to be making statements about what reasonable people would or would not do.

Ad hominem again? Is this really all you have?

When people think there is no connection between constant prevarication and the work of Satan, I don’t much care for their opinions.

No doubt there is a connection. What made you think we do not associate Satan with lies? We do, because we believe in the words of Jesus, that Satan is the father of lies. If after hearing this you continue to represent that we make no such connection, you do willfully misrepresent us, and that would be true and provable prevarication, because we have told you the truth about this (and everything else). Yet you do not believe us.

Whereas you do not understand that they are not “non-arguments,” but rather invalid arguments, in that they rest on logical fallacies. Invalid, but still arguments

Oh pfiffle. You are serious? You really think this conversation can bear such trivial, nonsensical sniping? What if "non-argument" were colloquial for "invalid argument"? Indeed, I though to say it, but determined you were too intelligent to miss the synonymous effect, and yet here you use this basketful of nothing to swing at someone who sincerely wishes to take you seriously. Triple sigh ...

Now, I’m going to have to shine you on. You’re just not up to discussing issues at an intellectually adequate level.

Indeed, for by such a device, you avoid actual engagement of ideas, and I fully understand why you wish to bypass that. (Note to reader: Please tally the substantive arguments in this entire thread and who made them, and see if I am not correct.)

My uncle was a brilliant man. He did advanced math modeling for the government, a full blown genius. Yet he was also a man of grace, and any intellect, however humble, could approach him at any level and he was glad to teach them.

This was a reflection of his deep faith in Jesus, and his modeling of the humility of Jesus, who while He dealt harshly with the self-righteous and proud, He rather gave (and still gives) grace and blessing to the humble.

So if you wish to cut me off for my intellectual inadequacies, you do what you think is right. I will still have Jesus to be my Teacher, and that is enough for me.

God bless you and yours,

SR

Indeed. In the case of one who makes outlandish unsubstantiated assertions, the advice of the RM is fitting:

"..you will find many well educated, articulate, reasoning posters on the RF. You will also find a few who throw spitwads because they have no ammunition. Engage the former, ignore the latter." — http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/religion/3134642/posts?page=162#162

I should follow it more, except for Prov. 26:5
