[Quix]

I can only guesstimate . . .

but if I were Jim, I'd think that seeing this sort of bickering . . . especially on this sort of thread . . .

would leave me feeling like pulling my hair out and heading for the deep hills never to return.

Sheesh.

Take it to Chat! There is still Chat, isn't there?

Jim gives so much for us to MAJOR ON MAJORS and minor on minors in terms of the reasons the forum was set up.

The least we can do is be encouraging and supportive and keep such messy, relatively petty (given goals of forum), quasi family squabbles out of the mainstream threads.

It's sort of like he sets up this thread to highlight our focus and what we are supposed to be majoring in and ya'll decide to provide a demonstration of the opposite use of the forum for the worst sort of bickering.

As a Christian, I may fiercely share a lot of the values vis a vis 'evolution' etc. and I'm not exactly known as a wimp hereon in Christian . . . squabbles . . . But this has gotten ridiculous and should be taken elsewhere than this thread. There's a time and place for most things. This is not the place or time for this squabble, imho.

Would it be too much to ask for once, that when Jim sets up a thread such as this that we cheer him on and support his focus and aims wholesale and KEEP THE OTHER SLUG SH*T OUT OF IT!???!

Amen. (Sorry I had to respond to my FRiend. I'm done with the subject now)

Quix, take a chill pill. Whether or not you or anyone else understands my posts, I was totally supporting the premise of this thread. No one is bickering. To put it bluntly, someone accused Jim and the mods of having a bias against Christians. I strongly came to the defense of Jim and the mods, not that they need me or anyone else to do so. Still, the accusation was absurd, and I didn't want it to go unchallenged. Since this is where the accusation was made, this is where I challenged it.

Skooz decided to respond, and we exchanged a couple of posts that allowed both of us to further explain our points of view.

Skooz, thank you for the clarification in your #1,046.
