I would not be surprised if he is too happy with life to stoop down to even acknowledge your malicious pretense. It is obviously not unknown to you that he has set down myriad posts showing his antipathy to all the Abrahamic religions--especially when practiced with the thoughtless and immoral mindlessness common to the Fundamental mindset. So why would you not acknowledge that?? Likewise, you know just as well as the other followers of this thread, that he has repeatedly voiced his respect for humanists and free thinkers such as Einstein. So why would you not acknowledge that? You know the word evil is relative. All people use it to refer to actions or events which harm or hurt. I don't like using the word due to those primitive superstitious connotations of inherent sin and Satanic Possession! But tell me something: Are you (you, Gregoree)--being DELIBERATELY evil when you knowingly attempt to demonise people? How can that possibly numb people to your inability to defend your creationist ideas? Just wondering how personal attacks can possibly give legs to your arguments? It might be that if you want him to stoop to acknowledge you...you might need to stand a little taller than the posture you are currently in? Just my honest comment. That is what I see. And I am nobody's "caddy". I hope you will be at peace tomorrow if that is your big supper/family day. You should not let a little internet thread remove your mind from what is important: life and those you love. You might want to remember that millions of people from every faith--as well as secularists from coast to coast will be celebrating and appreciating the gift of life and the joy of family and friends. And I will remember gratitude to all the great men and women who have faced down tyranny and superstition and ugly ideologies such as Practical Communism. I will remember Bacon and Descartes and Locke--and every other who moved us from the self-serving and unassailable tribal evil of "Revelation"--to the answerable and liable arguments and conclusions of free men and women.
