Sometimes, when i see a post with first line like that, how do
you expect me to think christians are also not sarcastic, are
objective and want to present a good argument?
Defend the faith? Seriously, i am on the point of begging
christians not to use 'defending the faith' as a excuse whenever
there is a slip up in their argument.
You, me and almost everyone else here used to be or are in the
academia. We know its equally important that whatever you present
fits. Its also important to weigh the consequences of any findings
you present.
Take the recent case with brey for example. I highlighted many
things - improper quoting of original source, neglecting to view
the context in which the stuff is written in
There are other things i would add on, but its pretty useless to do
that by the time i got to that point
Look at this thread, its a flamebait, just as you said it. It
elicit the sort of responses that would have been expected. Tear
away all the niceties, it still touches on who will go to hell and
who will not. On my part, I did not argue whether christianity is
wrong on this. What i have been saying was, we all know the
answers. So why is such topics blatantly repeated, discussed and
not exercised with caution?
I should have added that its also the mods responsibilty to keep a
tight rein on topics regarding non believers.
Unfair? Seriously, to be fair, I think the non believers do have
the right to respond to any topic of such nature. And, really,
arrogance would not be the word i choose to describe some
christians sometimes. In denial would be a be a better phrase. Now,
this does not describe all.I only meant for those whom i observed
how they respond to strong arguments.
