I'm just ranting here. Back on point: The one thing I simply can't stand -- the one really unforgivable thing -- is when I post an "argument," and, no matter what its subject may be, my "respondent" changes it into an argument about me: My motives are questioned! Or worse, motives that I do not have at all are gratuitously attributed to me. I can handle outright personal attacks (which really are quite rare); but I hate it when people put words in my mouth, rather than read -- and understand -- what I have actually written.

I think this is part of the discussion. This is a regular tactic on the part of the anti-evolution crowd. Just look a couple of posts up at f.Christian's remarks. Saying I'm not a Christian? Saying I'm not a conservative? Saying all I've ever posted are personnel attacks?

Worse than the personnel attacks is watching Christians feeding on one another. It's not supposed to be this way and it's definately wrong no matter which Bible one reads.

I will say that this is one of the weirder threads I've ever seen. But a very interesting "evolution" of the forum. I wonder if we'll be successful at self-policing? I personally believe that if you two "philosophy sisters" can't do it, it can't be done. ;)

Saying I'm not a conservative? Saying all I've ever posted are personnel attacks? Overgeneralizations about you - me that I take exception with !

Evolution is a personal attack !

If you don't believe God is the Creator - almighty ... it is impossible to be a catholic --- you are only fooling yourself !

And if you believe anything but the work of Jesus Christ can save you ... it is impossible to be a Christian --- you are only fooling yourself !

All other embellishment and spin is anti God and Christ --- liberal bias make believe !

I don't think you have enough character or principles (( to much flux - evolution )) to qualify for hypocrisy !
