From reading your posts over the years...I would say "colr me SHOCKED" that you like controversy. I would say you just like to argue.

First let me say, "Thank you," for being a part of my little fan club.

But I hope you won't be offended by my commenting on your "just like to argue" remark. One who "just argues" could take any side of a controversy or create controversy where none exists. I don't think I do that. Which isn't to say that I never change my mind about anything. I do actually pay attention to what the people on the other side of an argument are saying. So for example I have gone from being convinced that I know what the Framers meant by natural-born citizen to not being quite so sure. And now I argue against the certainty of my former position.

I'm not offended at all. First of all...I like to argue too...which is why I became a theologian and not a pastor. LOL. My dad (RIP) was a pipefitter for 35 years before he passed. He would argue with me about the weather and I would argue with him about pipes. That's where I learned it. We drove mom crazy. :-)

Second...I love good debate if it's good debate...iron sharpening iron so to speak. If both sides are dug in...I bail because it's pointless.

Just busting your chops a little...
