>>>I showed you how easy it would be to refute a true
Straw Man argument by simply showing the factual errors in the premise. Clearly you would have done so by now if you could have so It's safe to assume you can't.

"I did my best to show you what I believe to be wrong with the premise.... I get the impression that he wants me to think..."

You continue to confuse your emotional impressions with facts even though I have repeatedly pointed that out to you from the very beginning.

"It seems now you are off on this tangent of trying to prove some technicality regarding what qualifies and what does not qualify as a strawman."

No. I asked you from the beginning to prove the specific charge you made and only now you are halfheartedly admitting that I was right all along. You could have just said that your objection was really a personal and emotional dislike of his conclusions which you dressed up in the disguise of a logical argument from the beginning, but your ego wouldn't (and still won't) let you.

"I thought it was obvious that I was using the very same method your preacher did in that article."

What's obvious is that you still don't get it. Your presentation was filled with factual errors and deliberate misrepresentations where Mr Duncan's was not. That's the very point you needed to prove and failed so miserably at. Am I surprised that you so easily concocted a such a false and defamatory caricature of Christianity and then added that of course: you would never do such a thing? NO!

You are every bit the fundamentalist that you accuse others of being

"How am I fundamentalist Greg..."

That's a topic all on it's own. Why don't you ask yourself that question and I'll let you think about it for a bit.
