“Personal attacks are just un-Christian.”

I totally disagree. That is a coward’s way out.

The person has the idea, so it is the person I attack.

Liberals have sissified this nation with the idea that a person can have bad ideas but we are not to hold that person accountable, that only the idea should be attacked. This has allowed people to be dead wrong and hurt others yet remain without accountability themselves.

Personally insulting people is a SURE-FIRE way for making SURE that they will NOT change and WILL dig in...just to spite YOUR nastiness.

People can change their ideas.
However, if you've already made an enemy of them with PERSONAL insults, then you've lost the war before ANY engagement.

WHY make enemies of people with your nastiness because of their ideas?

For example:
1. Your ideas are stupid.
2. You are stupid because of your ideas.

I choose door number one; you choose door number two. Door number two IS un-Christian and you know it.
