Thank you so much for your post!

Actually, we're in a kind of truth or dare mode - but the sentence you found also troubled me very deeply. I believe it was on the post captured by ALS at #238 and was made by Right Wing Professor:

I have a strong interest in keeping conservatism from being taken over by fundamentalist Christians who have made it a mission to anathematize portions of science because they think it conflicts with the Bible.

I am hurt and offended by the sentence because it makes me feel the object of a purge, since I am a Fundamentalist Christian. I am not a second class conservative. I've put in many years of work in helping the conservative cause. It is deeply troubling to be targeted in this way.

Now, to be completely fair, we need to hear Ring Wing Professor's response.

I too am deeply offended by this tactic employed by the evos in many threads.
As we all know, they've made spurious references to "fundamentalists", at will, and when called on the carpet, they later attempt to redifine what they "meant".

My problem with this is that if a person gets to enjoy the "bliss" of such personal denigration, they shouldn't be backpeddling afterwards, and take their medicine for such pathetic hate-mongering.
