That is essentially admitting defeat, not refusing to engage.

Now, wait, was a subpoena issued? Is someone here the prosecuting attorney?

You may demand to have a discussion, but others may find you so unpleasant that they disagree. Anything is possible. Anyway, refusing to answer someone's set up question is refusing to play a game wherein the other guy makes all the rules. Playing such a game would be ridiculous.

Thanks, Judith.

You are right. That’s my position.

“You may demand to have a discussion, but others may find you so unpleasant that they disagree.”

Now wait. You are here on this thread, so are you saying you want to have a discussion, or are you saying you disagree to have a discussion because you feel someone is unpleasant here? If you don’t want to have a discussion, then why did you come?

“Anyway, refusing to answer someone’s set up question is refusing to play a game wherein the other guy makes all the rules. Playing such a game would be ridiculous.”

The questions asked were:

“They why do Catholics pray to them? They must believe that they can hear us. Where is that found in Scripture?”

Where indeed is it found? How is that a setup? It couldn’t be a more straightforward question.

I take it you are a ‘no’ on the question of “Give your all to Jesus” as well?

I didn’t demand a discussion.

I merely asked someone if they wanted to take a shot at answering some questions. When he replied *No* Others and I took that as admission of defeat.

Saying that I demanded a discussion is bearing false witness.
