Evidence for God from Science

Hi Christian2, This is just a fly-by post as someone emailed me to inform you that you had asked about my absence. Per my beliefs about group dynamics I think I've shared on this board (I know I have elsewhere), I think public questions/comments deserve public responses and so this quick post rather...

I think Jac has a point. When you accuse someone of using Brownshirt tactics you're saying that they're acting like Nazis. Not authoritarians, not dictators, not even fascists, but Nazis - the purist incarnation of evil that the world has ever seen. That's cranking the dial straight up to 11 and ma...

Jac: You aren't demeaning murdered Jews because you disagree with me. You are demeaning murdered Jews by your defense of Nazi comparisons. Jac, you need to take a freaking Valium! You know damn well B.W. and Rick are not equating the Nazis with people on the Left - you know it's their tactics they'...

Of course not. Read. You aren't demeaning murdered Jews because you disagree with me . You are demeaning murdered Jews by your defense of Nazi comparisons. We disagree on Nazi comparisons. If you agreed with me, then you would not defend such Nazi comparisons and therefore wouldn't be demeaning the ...

It isn't a valid comparison, Rick. Look, Nazi's ate meat, didn't they? They weren't vegetarian. So what if a militant vegan says, "You meat eaters are using Nazi tactics, eating meat!!!11!1" It's stupid. The whole reason the comparison isn't valid isn't because leftists do or don't use so...

And more specifically, the problem isn't BW saying, "The left are Nazis." The problem is the guilt by association -- "The left uses the same tactics as the Nazis!" That really is a problem and I know you can see why. "You're acting like a Nazi" isn't the semantic equiva...

There's a difference in holding to a widely held religious belief and pushing wild eyed conspiracy theories or using over the top hyperbole. There are very serious and normal Christians. There are Christians who are lunatics. Don't equate belief in the resurrection of Christ with calling people who...

But doesn't it make conservative Christians look like lunatics, Rick? Sure, there are enlightened people who will see B.W.s rhetoric as the vapid a vile hatemongering that it is and won't apply it to me and you. That is, there are some people who won't hold him against us. But there are a lot, and I...

DOH!!

I sit corrected.

Well, since the first account of someone eating was Adam and Eve and the forbidden fruit, then clearly eating is wrong. And since tte first account of sibling conversation involved Cain murdering Abel, then that's clearly wrong, too. And since the first account of people putting on clothes was at at...

How is that not something conservatives would support, B.W.? I'm assuming by your tone that you don't approve of the action, even as you acknowledge that they have the right to do so. Starting and ending your post by ominously quoting Santayana and then adding another Nazi reference certainly doesn'...

It is irritating, eh? It's one of those things that once you see it, you can't unsee it. Nazi/Hitler/Holocaust references always make me y:-&. To your other point, I see where they're coming from, too. That's why I made the comment to BW that I did. It's actually a very legitimate conversation. ...

And that's why I have you on permignore, ACB. You should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. That's vile.
