Richard Dawkins's Jewish Problem
beliefnet ^ | September 29, 2009 | David Klinghoffer

Posted on 09/30/2009 11:46:34 AM PDT by GodGunsGuts

The Anti-Defamation League, the country's leading group dedicated to fighting anti-Semitism, is rightly sensitive to the offense of trivializing the Holocaust. Why, then, has the ADL said nothing in protest against the Darwinian biologist and bestselling atheist author Richard Dawkins and his comparison of Darwin doubters to Holocaust deniers?...

“How conveniently the phony “conservative” evo-crud puking atheists would like true conservatives to forget what their philosophical roots REALLY are!”

they are RINOs who will rush to Obama the second the GOP nominates someone who dares to questions Darwin. See Little Green Footballs.

BW: ”All are Christian. Do you deny that?”

YHAOS: It is not for me to either affirm or deny. That is what tpanther and I have been trying to explain to you. But, you will have none of it.

You and everybody else on this forum.

Apparently, it allows you insufficient room to perpetrate your quarrels and advance your little schisms.

It does seem that that is what it's all about.

Being called a Christian means being a follower of Christ. The disciples were first called *Christians* at Antioch, long before there were any denominations to be a member of.

Imagine the audacity of someone thinking that determining who is and is not a Christian should be left up to Christ.

I am a Christian. I am a conservative. I believe that evolution and Christianity are perfectly compatible. I would vote for Sarah Palin in a heartbeat.

Your premise is thereby rendered false.

Do you deny that the practice of Catholicism is devoid of the judgment of Christ as to its Christianity?

You don’t get to play Master Inquisitor hiding behind questions to hurl accusations. You haven’t the authority.

I spoke to your question. Not unexpectedly, you didn’t like the answer. I’m not here to please you. But to even cry “cop out” you found it necessary to cherry pick what portion of my response to which you reacted. You had to ignore that I also responded, “If someone claims Christianity, I accept their declaration.” You may wish to ask questions. You don’t get to script the answers. And, you don’t get to claim exclusivity on asking questions.

The question was, “It is Christ who is the judge as to who is, or is not, a Christian. Do you deny that?”

Either we treat with each other as equals, or else the whole process comes to a screeching halt. Choose.

This is pretty tame stuff. If you can’t handle the give and take on a discussion board, perhaps you should restrict your computer use to playing solitaire and browsing for bargains at the home shopping club.

But I’ll give you another chance to answer the question. Quickly, please.

Sorry, metmom I posted #185 before I saw your post to me. See the post if you're of a mind. You too, tpanther.

Atheists love islamofascists because they also believe Jews descended from apes and pigs.

Islamofacists deny atheism and human evolution.

That’s not the point. I’m not expecting you or anyone else to conduct a poll of the world’s Catholics. I am expecting an acknowledgement that Catholics, unnamed and unpolled, are Christian.

You are the one who refuses to handle the give and take. With you it's all take - no give. You can't handle not getting to play Master Inquisitor. You want to see the hand without tossing in the ante. I don't know what the term is for that behavior, but it has to be something worse than four-flusher.

Choose.

The question was: "“It is Christ who is the judge as to who is, or is not, a Christian. Do you deny that?”

no, because I was talking about atheists who must have their evolution.

“You are the one who refuses to handle the give and take. “

You accused me of being a Master Inquisitor, hence the difficulty is yours. I believe that Catholics are Christians. Can you join me in that proclamation?

It's my point. You don't get to script my answers. Deal with it or get out.

“It’s my point. You don’t get to script my answers. Deal with it or get out.”

It was your point in response to my premise.

Deal with it or get out? Are you kiddin’ me? Surely you’re passing through a second childhood—let me know when your inner grownup takes control again.

You have my answer. If you can't deal with it, run home to mommy and cry.

I am pleasantly surprised by your “no” answer, but I disagree with the second part of your response. Athiests could just as easily believe in the seeding of life on earth from extra-terrestrial sources, without the need for evolution.

You’ve posted the following two statements:

“If someone claims Christianity, I accept their declaration.”,

and

“It is Christ who is the judge as to who is, or is not, a Christian.”

While not entirely antipodal, they do pose a modicum of conflict, nicht wahr? Why would you blithely accept the professed Christianity of an individual, if you don’t believe that the origin of that person’s Christianity is judged such by Christ?

I'm fine. You're the one who can't abide dealing with an antagonist as an equal.
