As I have said before my remark to you had nothing to do with the subject matter. Rather, it was my surprise that you would have the colossal nerve to attack anyone for the use of hyperbole.

Your constant whining did cause me to review the posts in question and I am convinced Invincibly Ignorant definitely resorted to hyperbole. This terrible crime of his was sufficient to send you into a frenzy in an attempt to prove how correct you are and how wrong he is.

Interestingly a reply of yours caught my attention.

Do you believe that Moses parted the Red Sea and led the Hebrews from slavery into freedom?

Did Abraham have a son named "Isaac"?

If you do, and I do, I fail to see how I am supposed to have falsified the "whole" of Jewish history.

So, since your argument is foolish on the very first detail, there is no need to examin it further.

You have succeeded in changing an argument concerning the "Gentile Church" into an "I". Who are you? What does that say about your ego?

You were perceptive enough to recognize it was futile to examine the question farther yet.......you just can't let it go can you?

In other words, you are more concerned with finding fault with me than you are in what anyone else says or how outrageous it is. Thanks for admitting it.

But is it hyperbole? He doesn't seem to be arguing such. And by including the damning charge of denying the Holocaust seems to move us beyond mere spiritual interpretation of the written history of the Old testament and into more modern realms. So where is the hyperbole?

And where is your outrage? Do you think all Christians are compelled to deny the Holocaust? Do you think it's cool to say so, as long as you can catch me in a faux pas?

You have succeeded in changing an argument concerning the "Gentile Church" into an "I". Who are you? What does that say about your ego?

And if I had said "we," you'd have nit-picked me on that. Grow up. I am not the enemy here. I am not the only one capable of giving offense.
