How can I teach from a position of humility if i am so proud as to hide myself from you in what I call "The Emporor's new cloths?" I must humble myself before God and you people to serve. Unfortunatly where I need to serve Here requires alot of humility, something I am offering to teach by example.Boasting about your humility is a form of pride. Here you are claiming to have a lot of humility, so much so that you would serve as a good example to those here. (Which, by the way, makes this self refuting. If you boast about your humility, you obviously aren't that humble. It's like a friend of mine used to say about being a lady. "If you have to tell someone you are one, then you aren't.")
In addition, you regularly boast of defeating or shutting down others whom you claim are, to their eyes, greater than you. Cinjin in this thread and myself in another. In this you resemble our new Muslim friend who regularly posts, "Response: Debunked, as usual," regardless of whether he's done any debunking, then, or ever. You seem to tell us how well you're doing and how poorly your antagonists are doing at every opportunity; I've never seen somebody gloat so much about his rhetorical victories as you do.
