Re: On the contrary, that is exactly what we are doing

Furbydad's post was written about an experience that he had in church. Within the context of that thread it IS a Christian forum.

Damn. I can see there's little point in continuing to debate with you, as you just stretch and reshape words until they fit the definition that suits you at the time.

Obviously you have nothing to add, but rather than be a gentleman and refrain from pissing in the soup, you had to show your ass.

Ah. I ask a simple question--where is the evidence for this position?--and I am showing my ass? Last I checked, this WAS a discussion forum. This is exactly what I was referring to in the past when I pointed out that anyone who challenges the accepted views at GC is seen as tantamount to a heretic. I asked a question and I was not rude about it; you are the one who has been insulting, not me. Funny how hypocritical some posters here can be: you rock the boat outside of GC with regard to children and sex, then you are a hero. You rock the boat just a little at GC and you're an obnoxious troublemaker.

You do not need to agree with his religious beliefs, but he is entitled to them.

We were not talking about Furby's religious beliefs here. In fact, I have never heard Furby say a thing about Mary being 12. It is you and others who introduced this idea, not Furby. I don't discuss anything with Furby because frankly I see little point in talking to him. We clearly have almost nothing in common. So yeah, this has absolutely nothing to do with Furby. Nice try.

The consensus is that you are wrong, so man up and drop it.

What the consensus believes (and I don't see how you can make that claim anyway--talk about speaking on behalf of others) is none of my concern. I am chasing after the truth, not the bandwagon.

Expecting you to apologize would be asking too much.

I have nothing to apologize for other than my mistaken assumption about your religious views, which I already did.
