There’s always name-calling on these threads. I could fault every one, but what would be the point?
But when the name is pre-determined, repeated, and used in every thread over the course of time, it ceases to be a “spur-of-the-moment” slur, and turns into a concerted juvenile attack on an entire group of people.
If you want to defend the term “cretin” used as a slur against believers in creation, go ahead, but to me it looks like juvenile name-calling.
And contrary to popular opinion, I really try not to call people “good” or “bad” Christians, as a general rule. If someone makes a specific claim to be a “good Christian” and in the same post manages to do something decidedly unChristian (in my view), I might make an exception, but probably not in a thread that really isn’t about that at all, but has merely been hijacked by those who don’t want to discuss the issue of the thread.
