How many times do we have to go through this routine with you? How about you back up about six months and start answering all the questions and slabs of information that you evaded, from multiple posters, over multiple threads.
Apparently you're not going to take my challenge? Mak, I can only answer the questions that I can answer. I can't answer the ones that I can't. Kind of elementary, really. I try to answer or at least give my opinion on a wide range of subjects. Probably more than some people would like.

You think this is why I throw stuff against the wall? Wrong. I am sincerely interested in getting different perspectives. Sometimes folks have something interesting to say and other times they simply start bad mouthing one thing or another.

I think that at times the links that I may refer people to DO show that there are reasonable alternative viewpoints that bring God/faith back into the picture. Some folks don't like/want that. I get it.

That's the beauty of living in these times. Freedom of expression. I appreciated Shades and his willingness to let that happen on this board. Opinions/expressions should not be squelched.

Generally, I put smilies in where I would smile if the conversation was being carried on in real life. I smile when I'm talking to people.

I'm NOT being disingenuous and/or dishonest. You saying it, or Lemmie saying it over and over again in ONE thread, doesn't make it true. Parsing...at times. Evading...if I don't know an answer or have an opinion on something, I'll back out or leave it alone. Deflecting...yeah, sometimes I'll do that. But others do the same thing. Whining...no, I don't whine. I do point out when I think something unfair/unwarranted/disrespectful is going on. People calling out others for perceived wrongs/misdoings doesn't make those 'wrongs'/misdoings a reality. Sometimes people just make stuff up when they themselves are feeling up against the wall, etc.

I see that you are evading the specific accusation that I've made against Lemmie. I challenge you to put your money where your mouth is and prove that I am somehow wrong in this case.
Who knows? Maybe I am and have cause to apologize. If so, I will.
