Do not make this thread "about" individual Freepers. That is also a form of "making it personal."
Discuss the issues all you want, but do not make it personal.

I'm not sure that I am "making it personal" in that Iscool himself has said he rejects logic as a pathway to the truth. I was only repeating what he has said. An ad hominem argument would attack the person, rather than the argument. The argument in this case is whether logic is a valid method for interpreting scripture. So I aim to attack this statement, not Iscool personally. I mean, I really find it to be quite astounding that anyone would reject logic...and so it does seem like an attack on a person to say they are without logic--and so I undertand your response. But what if the person being addressed is the one who explicitly rejects logic? How can one acknowledge this without making it personal????
Sorry for the rambling, but my head is aching over this one...
