That is an example of "attributing motive" (to a particular individual participant while interacting with them) and is verboten on the religion sub-forum of FreeRepublic.

The lady showed just where your own statement was logically incorrect.

Either deal with the information which was being discussed -- or not.

BUT -- do not attribute motive, or play the mind reader.

Or else everyone else gets to do that too...which can result in flamefests.

The 'religion forum' guidelines (or rules) have a certain wisdom to them.

If those guidelines are not to your liking...then leave off discussing issues pertaining to religious controversy here on FR, and stick to news and activism.

There are other forums on the www where one can wrestle with wretches under different rules. I invite you to either ---- stop the amateur mind reading (leave that to the pros) or find some other place to wrest.

I was not mind-reading. I was describing her activity.
