On this particular thread, it started on post 3. We are now at post 4302.
POST #3: "These fake stories are pretty funny. They always contain plenty of details that reveal the fabrication. Among many other false notes, I find it amusing that a supposed former Dominican would describe the Dominicans as a monastic order when the entire point of the Dominicans in the first place is that they are not monastics."

I don't recall any Proddys that chronically tend to post in such an attitude and style.
We may be skeptical but we extend at least a token amount of benefit of the doubt.
In POST AFTER POST AFTER POST AFTER POST
the Proddy assertions--even the excellent personal narrative at the beginning of this thread--is wholesale castigated as false just on the basis of very ignorant bias.
Sheesh what a collection of jerks.
THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL personal narratives of Evangelicals crossing the Tiber.
IIRC, NOT A SINGLE PRODDY HAS EVER POSTED A SIMILAR POST AGAINST SUCH A PERSONAL NARRATIVE. WE HAVE PERSISTENTLY TAKEN IT AS REAL AS STATED.
We may have quibbled with the reasonableness of the conclusions drawn leading to such a shift. However, we did not quibble WITH THE PERSON'S STATED PERSONAL EXPERIENCES.
We aren't that unrealistic, nor that stupid, nor that blind, nor that rigidly arrogantly biased. I can't even think of a single exception. Perhaps Alex Murphy will tell me if I'm wrong.
Incredible. WHAT OUTRAGEOUS DUPLICITY! WHAT A CHRONIC HORRIFIC DOUBLE STANDARD. AND NOT A SHRED OF EVER ADMITTING IT! SHEESH. I'm beginning to think that at least SOME Jihadi's might be more reasonable. Incredible.
