For the record, to believe that Jesus Christ is the one true way to salvation is not "bigotry," regardless of how many times you try to label it as such.

And to say God "damns" something, using "damn" as a verb, is not the same as using "God-damn" as a crude adjective.

You really need to stop making this so personal, Buggman. Your name appears on so many threads that get pulled or locked I hestitate to even enter a thread on which you post.

Calling the Jews as a people "God-hating" is. For the record.

It's merely inflammatory rhetoric, devoid of any intellectual or spiritual merit. Troll-bait, in other words.

And yet, not once have I been the one rebuked by the Mods. I have never been reduced to ethnic slurs, vulgarities, violations of Godwin's Law, or shouting "Heretic, heretic!" either. That all comes from your side of the fence.

The words "projection" and "questionable cause" come to mind.

All I've done, Ecks, is ask OP to tone back the rhetoric and stick to polite debate. I've pointed out the potential damage he does by his loose tongue--or fingers, as the case may be. That's it. I don't think that's an unreasonable request, nor do I think it unreasonable that I simply refuse to engage him until he complies. He's (normally) better than that, and I'm not lowering the high standards I set for those who call themselves ambassadors of Christ.

I vacated this thread a long time ago. OP was the one who decided to put more infantile histeronics in my ping box. There may well be a good argument mixed in with the cursing and arrogant posturing, but heck if I'm wasting my time looking for it.

I have several times stated that I am done with this thread and asked not to be pinged back to it. Please respect that request.
