Lesson: Learn your fallacies before citing them. "Begging the question" is not a question that answers itself. It is when the proposition to be proved is already assumed in the premises.

I'll converse with you when you learn some manners. I'll be the first to admit I don't understand what passes for manners in the Religion forum. It's copasetic to tell someone they're going to hell but it's impolite to note that someone seems argumentative. I've tried to be polite, but I've gotten nothing but pointed comments for my efforts. Count me out.

I was very respectful. But I can wait until you catch up with the rest of us.
