I'm not going to go around in this circle with you forever. You're going to insist that you've won this debate, but most sensible people can see that no answer will suffice for you. You keep saying I've given you nothing more than "I feel it's propaganda" and that's a bold faced lie. I gave very valid, legitimate, and reasonable explanations of why this woman's summary is suspect in post #551. You can choose to reject those explanations, but if you insist that I've offered nothing more than my feelings, you're simply a liar. That's the last I'm saying on this particular matter.

I really don't give a flip about what you find on the internet. There are as many opinions, studies, and theories on the internet as there are people on this earth. I can link you to people who believe the earth is flat, aliens walk among us, and Elvis is sharing an apartment in Atlantic City with Jimmy Hoffa.

I have no respect for someone who can't articulate a single argument in favor of their point of view but only insists that others "do an internet search". Only when you can make a rational, reasoned, well-stated argument of your own will I give a speck of credence to what you say.

Most sensible people would do a quick internet search to see who is being reasonable.

You keep saying I've given you nothing more than "I feel it's propaganda" and that's a bold faced lie. I gave very valid, legitimate, and reasonable explanations of why this woman's summary is suspect in post #551. You can choose to reject those explanations, but if you insist that I've offered nothing more than my feelings, you're simply a liar. That's the last I'm saying on this particular matter.

Here's what you said in 551:

When the summary is done by someone with an obviously extreme prejudice against gays, and her summary is sparse on full quotes, and she rewords the points in very loaded terms, I'm well within my right to look at her "facts" a bit askance.
Then simply run an internet search and see what others are saying. Once the book arrives I'll scan any page you want. Is there anything in particular you would like to see?

I really don't give a flip about what you find on the internet. There are as many opinions, studies, and theories on the internet as there are people on this earth. I can link you to people who believe the earth is flat, aliens walk among us, and Elvis is sharing an apartment in Atlantic City with Jimmy Hoffa.

Some of that is just misdirection. You have the opportunity to find what others have said about the book, no matter what their position on the matter, but you won't do that.

I have no respect for someone who can't articulate a single argument in favor of their point of view but only insists that others "do an internet search". Only when you can make a rational, reasoned, well-stated argument of your own will I give a speck of credence to what you say.

As I previously said, I've made statements and supported them with links. You haven't supported a single statement you made.
