Your endless ex cathedra rants will not convince anyone who is not also a fanatic. You offer no reasoned argument, only endless assertions of your bottom line opinions.

I would not bother to respond, except that you are a convenient foil to demonstrate the danger of fanaticism. Your mindset has led to very ugly results throughout history. In order to demonstrate the dangers of same, I even have a series of articles on the subject of fanaticism at the Web Site. For example: Studies In Fanaticism.

We also deal with the compulsion for uniformity in thought: Compulsion For Uniformity.

Do I think any of such would convince you of anything? No, you are the true, "True Believer." But others surf by. I hope that your fanaticism will wake some of them up, to what is wrong with certain types of non-thinking.

That is precisely why I (and many others, judging from this thread) take seriously the duty to prevent you from giving the impression that slavery apologism is tolerated in conservative circles.
