Hi miss penni,

<< What is actually gained here by this arguing and name-calling? >>

If you show me where I was name-calling I'll apologize. Almost all of my "arguing" is using direct quotes from the Bible, and challenging people to explain them.

" I know that you have fought long and hard at school board meetings and in public forums against the infiltration of doctrine rather than facts into education. I admire you greatly for that. That is where the battle needs to be fought. This? This is cocktail chatter. A distraction. Intellectual masturbation. It has a place, but it can't RE-place. >>

I respectfully disagree miss penni. I think that the internet is the best place to tackle a subject like this without being shouted down because your view isn't popular. Anybody can jump in with their point of view in a very orderly way. One does not need to rely on personal charm or charisma to win a debate. Statements can be challenged because they are kept for years. One can't just deny saying something, because it is a matter of record. We probably have all been caught posting something that we wish we hadn't, but that's what I like about it.

Finally, I like the power of being able to link to sites that support your view. Some have trivialized this information, but why should it be any less valid than information in print? The internet is the great equalizer.
