[Vision2020] To Chew On

[rvrcowboy]

As I stated earlier, you are not even capable of answering the question
being asked so why would anyone waste time trying to debate it with you?
Aren't you the guy who once said you had no interest in the Bible except for
some poetic value?  Maybe it wasn't you but I thought it was.

The fact you are a humanitarian does not qualify you on the merits of the
question and that you have already explored Christianity and tossed it aside
as not being up to your more modern standards disqualifies you even further.
In fact to continue a debate with you on this topic would be analogous to
casting pearls before swine.  One can not debate philosophically on a topic
with someone who denies the very premise the debate is predicated upon
without lowering oneself to the level of the swine.  Therefore, I am not
going to debate this with you any longer,  You can take that as a win and
put another notch on your ego if you like.  It matters little to me.  It
does puzzle me why you would want to debate a topic you have already denied
being interested in unless it was simply to cause more senseless debate to
placate you own ego.  I am not into that, sorry.  To me that is:
"intellectual dishonesty and disingenuousness..." You will have to hone your
ego elsewhere.

Be a man and just agree to disagree on this one.  You don't have the
qualifications for the discussion and I don't have the patience to pursue it
with you senselessly any longer.
