I see your reading comprehension skills are as dim as ever. I said YOUR actions typified the example of the Pharisee in question, and you continue to prove it, post-by-post.

You know it's kind of funny: I never once claimed to be the moral superior of Laura Bush; I never once gave a public prayer thanking God I wasn't like Laura Bush; I never once enumerated my virtues for you to record. So the prayer of the Pharisee is a long stretch and one brought on--I think--by what I did do: rebuke Laura Bush. Rebuking is not allowed anymore, because we practice the politics of nice--no matter how trashy we get along the way.

The posts you've littered throughout this thread on the subject are the moral equivalent of the same, and you well know it.

It is a long haul from "rebuking" someone for an activity one thinks is in poor taste to invoking terms like "whore" and "slutty." And you well know that, too.

Dang... I guess the bit calling her a whore was meant to be a complement then? Pardon us for misunderstanding.

It's sorta' astonishing that this thread is still going on. Do you know O.C.? O.C. is that you?

We will likely never know, but one wonders if you'd have the same fortitude to say the same thing to her face as is posted hereabouts.
