At this point, I think it would be safe to ignore the ranting of these two. Its clear how the majority of posters on this thread think, and these two do not post opinions that reflect the views of the majority of conservative posters on this thread. In other words, expect nothing more but personal insults from theme. They obviously cannot humbly admit defeat.
I wondered how long it would take for one of you to break the silence between you two.
It was "deafening," given the contents of your respective homepages (a trick I learned from O.C.) It is so disappointing when people who claim to be Christians can't give a civilized ear to an apparently opposing viewpoint. I'm glad I became a Christian before I ran into either of you -- sorry, but that's my opinion of you; at the least you're a disappointment.
A lesson for you both: when you malign others' morality, your own will come into dispute. I can't take credit for that: Jesus said it first. Go read it for yourself. And learn something else: the forum is a place for respectful consideration for perspectives other than your own, and not just a comfort zone. A little back-patting is invaluable, but it's not all there is to life.
Something additional: the majority is sometimes dead wrong.
Uh huh.
I'll refer you, good doctor, and any other interested party to your post #241-- the only instance of profanity on this thread.
I'll refer you, Mr. O.C., to post #275 where you, instead of answering someone's question (after they complimented both our points), referred to them as a "troll".
Or, if you like, you can refer to your post #166 which pretty much blankets all of those that disagree with you. I'm pretty sure my lone "personal insult" to you was to refer to you as a dogmatist.
Considering the attacks on my honesty, the suggestion that I remove myself from the discussion (censorship), and the general dismissal of any opinion other that that of your own, I will leave it to others to draw their own conclusions from our respective works on this thread.
Another potential doctoral thesis for you, by the way: Please list the number of times throughout history when the majority was right about any moral issue. I don't think you'll find the record anything to write home about. Doesn't mean the majority is wrong in this case-- just means they're not automatically right.
