And what do YOU believe, r9? I believe that if somebody is going to make claims about being rational and objective, then they have a responsibility to make rational and objective statements, and to defend them on an objective and rational basis.
I am playing devil's advocate, with an eye toward assessing the logic of the claims being made. As a result, I have no plans to offer any alternative views on this thread.

Devil's advocate? Kind of un-Christian isn't it?
The logic is there. It hasn't changed.

Or, at least one in which you have shown some kindness to another poster rather than snide, griping hostitlity. I'd like that.
