You’re a walking Jack Chick comic book.

Pyro, you just invoked Irving's Law. ears_to_hear wins the round by default.

Irving's Law: once a comparison is made between [Pharisees/anti-Semitism/Jack Chick tracts] and someone's theology, the discussion is immediately finished - and whoever makes the comparison automatically "loses" whatever debate was in progress, forfeiting all points previously scored.

Sounds like a law contrived by someone who wants Chick-like hate of Catholicism to be shielded from counterattack.

In other words, it’s BS.

I'll have to remember that one, for the next time an eschatology discussion goes where it inevitably does.

I’ve never heard of this law before. In any case, when the glove fits, glove fits.
