What IS good, and how do we determine it?

[Huggy Bear]

Huggy, even if you prove that all these allegations are false, and you are perfectly vindicated, what are you gaining here?  How will any of this buttress the validity of your religious ideas or give glory to God?  You are scratching in the gutter trying to win the wrong kind of fight, unless your goal is just to cut your teeth in the trenches-- which is not that rare a goal for forum debaters.

I think you've acted trolly sometimes, and so have some of the non X-tians here in this thread.  That's what happens when etiquette fails and things devolve into a flame war.  But you always have the choice-- bury the hatchet and attempt to kickstart the OP, or get trapped in the quicksand of an offended ego.  The latter is basically an agreement to relieve Sisyhpus of his duties-- it's never going to take you to any positive place.

Let me ask you something: is it more important for you to be right, or to be righteous?

As a christian I am responsible to the truth, If I am accused of being a liar, then I am gong to address it because essentially I am being accused of bringing reproach to what I believe.

Besides, believe it or not, I am the polar opposite in "real life" to how people perceive me to be on these forums. I'm an introvert, I have no interest in arguing anything with anyone or proving anything to anyone.
