Re: Boy Scouts Banned By Alabama Pastor Greg Walker
Wow! That was pretty close to incomprehensible, with all those aborted clauses and inappropriate commas, which I suspect are supposed to be periods.
Note how this poster starts with an attack on what is pertinent in this debate, my points, right? No? What an anomaly...right? NOooooooOOOOOooo. Not hardly, ha ha.
The fact that you self-identified (I'm assuming that you're referring to your belief in God's existence), and if that matters to me, is obviously of some "concern" to at least one poster. If it weren't, you wouldn't have asked for my opinion about the issue.
Hey, I must not have been that incomprehensible if you were able to accurately assume I was referring to my belief in the existence of a creator. What exactly were the other options available to you with all your assumptive powers?
Actually I am only "using" you as a vehicle to make my points... I am debating the idea and so you post, I respond, though I am not always just talking to you, sangha... no offense...
And here is what I was actually asking your opinion about, that which you conveniently left out of your quote of my quote, "
what is it that you believe that they believe that is "stupid"?...and then the follow up, as to
what you think is smart about the view of the opposing side...
You seem to think I have objected to your "self-identification". I have not.
So, remind me who is the incomprehensible one again, then? Here is the quote of what you said...
"I don't know where you got the idea that whether or not a creator exists is a matter of debate in this thread."
Seems to me that, your view on whether or not I believed or not, as brought up in this thread, did not meet your standards of some sort...I have no idea why you took that extraneous point of me setting a baseline, as being something that just did not need be done here in the thread...so yeah, extraneous ...and yet that is what you focused on?
Anomaly? Again, no.
It seems that you think my first response to you in this thread was a comment about you. It wasn't. It was about the preacher.
Again, this is what you said,
"I don't know where you got the idea that whether or not a creator exists is a matter of debate in this thread."
That was was not directed at me? This, as you allude below, is about the pastor Greg? So whether a pastor believes in the existence of God, and then is making a decision about whether, if he does genuinely desire to follow those beliefs, that he should follow his God's written guidance on a matter, that is what you were trying to say with that line to me quoted above?
I do not believe you in either case. I believe I was correct in my first assumption.
You remember the preacher, right? He's one of the subjects of this thread
yeah yeah yeah.
To make it a little easier for you to decipher my byzantine attempt to elicit a response from you on something pertinent....
Questions:
1. What is it that you believe that they believe that is "stupid"?
and...
2. What you think is smart about the view of the opposing side?
Just so you do not continue to avoid the pertinent while making a big deal of the extraneous...
