I don't think I've ever seen a post more saturated with projection than that one. It was you who made the very weak analogy about the Klan. And the analogy did indeed fail, based as it was on hysteria.

And by the way, I addressed it at the top of #279 to show specifically where your logic went wrong. Predictably enough, you ignored it, the same way you ignore all points that are inconvenient to your position.

Logic is logic, and applies everywhere.

A statement which could only be made to support the use of analogies. But then, as you did earlier when talking about Turkey, you immediately segue into:

On the other hand, analogy is the weakest form of logical reasoning.

So you were for analogy before you were against it?

You made an analogy between the federal government paying religious organizations and the federal government paying employees. I pointed out the federal government can (and in fact must) pay employees even if they're Klansmen, but few would approve of the federal government paying the Klan. This was to illustrate the weakness of your reasoning.

I'm terminating this discussion, because you're clearly out of your depth, and you're getting all hot and bothered. But a parting question for you - is Pat Robertson 'mainstream religious'?
