I have a question wrote: Agreed, he's now the sole tenant of my ignore list. Done.
I can't blame you. I decided a long time ago that I can't complain about the vortex if I voluntarily leaped into it. I have some posters on my ignore list, but not MG. It's too easy to ignore him without the feature because I know that whatever he writes is basically endless babble that does nothing to forward discussion of any given topic.
That's why I rarely show up on a thread like this. I can bore myself to death quite nicely without inviting someone else to join me.

As soon as Lemmie can show that anything I said was intellectually dishonest in the post being referred to (where she is making that accusation), I will be happy to make further comment. She cut and pasted some things I said and then accused me of being intellectually dishonest based on the random comments she threw together. I responded and said that I wasn't being dishonest AT ALL and that there weren't any contradictions, etc.
She needs to put up or shut up.
Enough of this nonsense. I see that she hasn't come back into the thread to actually detail specifically what in the heck she's even referring to and/or talking about.

My request to you has nothing to do with Lemmie's accusation.
My request to you has to do with you supporting your own claim.
And you can't or won't even do that.
You can't even explain your own words.

I haven't read every single post on this thread, but I have read enough of it to see that the arguments of the apologists like MG consist of endless repetition of the same circular reasoning and intellectually dishonest approach to discerning truth, and what I like to call "division by zero logic" -- that is, logic of a type that can be used to justify continuing belief in virtually anything one is desperate to believe in, no matter how absurd or contrary to reality.
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.
