oops. Sorry I didn’t see this.

Betty, what language did Heraclitus write in?

What language was the book of John written in?

You do know there is a difference, don’t you? (The question is rhetorical, I think.)

Have a question for you. Why do you always have to “characterize” people and their comments with words like “reductionist?” Is that just a Christian’s way of calling people names? Don’t feel you have to stop. It doesn’t bother me, just wonder why you feel the need to do that rather than just addressing the issues.

Not at all Hank. Reductionism is an epistemological strategy. A person who employs it can be fairly described as "reductionist." Or so it seems to me.

I'm sorry to have given you offense.
