So, are you saying Cynical Bear was not “invited” to this thread of yours? You didn't ask those of us that disputed with you in the last thread to join either but, guess what, this is an open forum and anyone can join in to the dialog. You, in other words, don't OWN the thread. Maybe if you had your very own website where you can say what you want as well as control who is allowed to talk back to you, you would have a point. But the last time I checked, JimRob didn't hand Free Republic over to you to control the threads. Tuff beans!

More pique at another straw dog!

Arguing from silence . . . yet again.

Y’all sure make it easier to understand naysayer’s mangling of Scripture given

how much y’all

—mangle my words;
—put erroneous words in my fingers;
—put erroneous thoughts in my head;
—put erroneous motivations in my heart;

yadda yadda yadda

Impressive.

Has it ever appeared to you . . .

that most naysayers seem to live in a very

—narrow
—rigid
—almost totally binary—all black/white world?

They seem to have little awareness of so many continuums in so much of life where there’s an infinite number of points from A to Z.

I guess that makes it easier to jump from

my not inviting folks

to the conclusion that I wanted to actively forbid such in some sort of authoritarian nonsense.

Sheesh what silliness.

Perhaps it’s inconceivable to some folks that I set out to post the truth as I saw it and let the chips fall where they may with whatever responses occurred . . . hopefully without me getting drug very far into the chronic futile go arounds over the same straw dogs always proffered when such topics arise.

Seems like a lot of truths in this ball park just do not compute for such folks.
