[P-Marlowe]

It is difficult to carry on a discussion with someone who is intellectually dishonest to the degree you are.

Intellectual dishonesty is the hallmark of the preterist position.

[Uncle Chip]

Intellectual dishonesty is the hallmark of the preterist position.

Amen to that --

[Quix]

Intellectual dishonesty is the hallmark of the preterist position.

I don't think "intellectual dishonesty" is a SUFFICIENT explanation. Some make reasonable earnest EFFORTS to be intellectually honest but just CANNOT make the grade for some reason(s). At some point, a big chunk of those reasons has to be demonic deception and blinding of believer's hearts and minds allowed through some flaw in the believer's focus; attitude; priorities or some such.

These threads quickly become disturbingly reminding of hours of experiences trying to make sense out of folks who's construction on reality was finely honed and practiced dissociative cluelessness and egg salad communications structures. And the harder one worked to make sense--ANY--interpretive sense out of the egg salad verbalizations, the more absolutely irrational they became.

MOST of the time in such cases, demonic forces have been evident . . . that or an extremely clever case of malingering--VIA an extremely askew construction on daily reality.
