what?

What claim?

The claim that this board doesn’t know what a personal attack is?

http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/personal_attack

personal attack

Making of an abusive remark instead of providing evidence when examining another person’s claims or comments.

Of course I suspect that you have another definition for this too, but I am not going to argue it. Suffice to say, under any popular definition of this word, you are engaging in these type of attacks.

I read that Christ did not say, “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” Who did?
It’s from St. Augustine. His Letter 211 (c. 424) contains the phrase Cum dilectione hominum et odio vitiorum, which translates roughly to “With love for mankind and hatred of sins.” The phrase has become more famous as “love the sinner but hate the sin” or “hate the sin and not the sinner” (the latter form appearing in Mohandas Gandhi’s 1929 autobiography).

If you want to learn more about what I have talked about, please continue to learn more by reading more about how St. Augustine lived.

I can’t really help you guys.

Follow the thread and the post I responded to. Man, for a seasoned freeper, you act like a noob.

Evidence WAS provided.

It was dismissed as irrelevant.
