Can you think for yourself or are you only capable of cutting and pasting from dubious sites?

The smart-aleck answer is that I don't post anything from dubious sites like CRI. :-)

The second answer is to ask you to look back through my comments. If I quote something, I give a citation and usually enclose it in blockquotes. If I've posted the same quotes several times, like the one from Augustine, I sometimes do not provide a link but I do provide an attribution.

If something is not cited or attributed, then it was written by me. I may check a remembered fact for accuracy, but I do not pass off the work of others as my own. It's called plagiarism.

Every job I've had since my mid-twenties has involved a lot of writing. Much of my writing has been for attorneys, some of it for publication, and some of it to word something highly technical in ways that my targetted audience can understand. If I plagiarized or did not provide citations when I needed to, I would lose my job.

On the other hand, you frequently do not attribute what are obvious quotes to the person who wrote them. Why?

Dude, you are so stuck on yourself, it’s not even funny. No wonder you are so prone to fall into error.

But, you have still not answered my question. How does it feel to have been DECIEVED by the fidgety-Ross into thinking that Augustine was condemning biblical creationists, when in reality he was condemning old earth/”pagan” compromisers such as yourself.

Do you have any other quotes by early church fathers that were taken out of context by the fidgety-Ross and fed to his gullible followers so they can go and make fools out of themselves—not to mention make a mockery of Christianity—on public forums such a FreeRepublic?

You have no idea the damage that you and the fidgety-Ross are doing to the cause of Christianity (or do you?).
