Some folks get really testy when you you don't buy into their arguments. You are NOT one of those people. Conversation with you, on the other hand, has been enjoyable.
I don’t see why one needs to speak about someone in particular without naming names..
I was speaking in general. The longer one stays on one of these threads, the more likely I will become an object of scorn or ridicule. I can assure you, many of the "Bible Thumpers" do indeed question my basic intelligence or "Scripture aptitude" for rejecting their God-given opinions on this topic.
To name names, this would be Quix in particular. There are others whose names have been temporarily deleted from short term memory.
I don’t question your IQ . . . And, I’d guess your Bible understanding and knowledge is above average.

I think what you may be running into here is many FReepers ability to see -- that to use the "rational" and "scientific" approach -- to matters which are outside of mankind's ability to be able to "reason" and to see and perceive and measure, and even to "comprehend" in the first place (instead of just being told about it) -- is an "irrational methodology" in and of itself.
And I think you're seeing their reactions to this "irrational methodology" being used -- instead of using the inerrant, infallible and authoritative Word of God -- which "reveals" things to us, instead of "reasoning" things to us. ... :-)
