"That is MY TAKE on his suspiciously timed "attack". "
You indicated that, if your take is wrong, you'd still insist that it was fact.

Oh my goodness! You found a blogger who was less than credible.
Did you even follow the link? I referenced three "Christian" creationist FReepers, not bloggers.
The story as reported sounds quite suspicious to me, but "no Christian would do such a thing!" is not amongst the list of reasons to doubt it.

Well, we know that they allied themselves with Muslims in Kansas. It appears as if they may be joining the "religion of peace". BTW, people who ally themselves with the communist ACLU in Kansas, Dover Pa, Georgia, etc and cheer the elections of democrat school boards shouldn't be making guilt by association arguments. But I have noticed hypocrisy is not a deterrent to most of the evo fundamentalists here.

No REAL Christians would do that.

I'll let you take over from here. It's an unpleasant task.
I must add, however, that if this already indiscreet guy somehow did fake the encounter -- which I doubt -- he's thoroughly discredited.

####Who wants to take bets that this turns out to be phony?####
It could certainly be phony. There's plenty of precedent for it among lefties such as Mirecki. However, to be fair, it could also be legitimate. Mirecki may be a hypocrite and a kook, but that shouldn't merit a beating.

Hope you're right, because to think that someone would defend Christianity with violence like this is a stupid thing to do.
To: wallcrawlr
I think half the guys on the wall are retreads. Oh well, one cannot discriminate, especially when one lacks evidence...

Think of how stupid the average person you meet out there is.
Now realize that about half of them are even more stupid than that.

I see you hold your fellow man in high esteem. Doubtless you are at the top of the heap where intelligence, wisdom and general virtue are concerned. May I borrow your cincture?
To: Emmett McCarthy
I say it's a phony incident if you're keeping track.

My apologies. Where are the knee-capping lessons being taught? I missed that part of the services on Sunday.

Just down the hall from the inter-confessional flame wars, behind the snake-handling room, but before you get to the coffee & doughnuts.

Me neither.
It's called sarcasm, as should be obvious as the post responded to was clearly sarcastic, as well.
