You are taking two comments that referred to entirely different things.
When you were talking about making an "affirmative case", I thought you
meant an affirmative case regarding the foundations of my morality, not
the existence or non-existence of God.

I have not seen these detailed, logical messages. I have only seen repeats
of the same unfounded assertions. And my "cheerleaders" comment certainly
was not directed at everyone on the group.
You know, Jim, I've even received personal e-mails from other Christians on
this group apologizing for your arrogance and commenting on my patience in
sticking
it out with you. How does it feel to know that you are an embarrasment even
to other Christians?
>Civility, I guess, is not one of the humanist moral virtues.
Civility is important, but not to the point of being a pushover. I can and
will stick up for myself against the ignorant, the arrogant, and the dishonest.
You have apparently forgotten what your morality has to say about "bearing
false witness".
