He was referring to "tracts." You know, those gawdawful pamphlets, bifolds or trifolds found in laundromats and busstop benches, and which claim that God is going to condemn just about everyone, but especially atheists, Catholics and Jews, to everlasting hellfire and damnation, and how, by just renouncing all rationality and blindly accepting the pamphleteers particular point of view one can escape this fate and spend an eternity navel-gazing in the presence of the Almighty.
Bible-believing Christians were accused of "risible sophistry" in post #486, with a delightful comparison to "fundamentalist Barbarian vandalism" tossed in for effect, apparently.
No. Creationists were. The two are not synonymous.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matt 24:11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. Matt 24:24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Mark 13:22
For false Christs and false prophets shall rise, and shall shew signs and wonders, to seduce, if it were possible, even the elect. II Pet 2:1,2 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. I John 4:1 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. 302 posted on 09/13/2005 2:17:53 PM CDT by Dr. Eckleburg (Steven Wright: "So what's the speed of dark?")

Oh joy. More endless quoting from tracts, evidently to give the quoter some aura of holiness.
Can we take the Bible as read, and give up the endless spouting of verses? Please? 309 posted on 09/13/2005 2:37:29 PM CDT by Right Wing Professor

LOL. Spoken like an academic.
You use your "tracts" and I'll use mine. 424 posted on 09/13/2005 3:58:19 PM CDT by Dr. Eckleburg (Steven Wright: "So what's the speed of dark?")

Use your tracts any way you like. Just don't clutter up the website with them. 468 posted on 09/13/2005 5:03:43 PM CDT by Right Wing Professor
