Toaster strudel alliance takes on drugs, atheists and liberalism

[The Grand Nudger]

I didn't say anything related to the truth claims of scripture, your black and white apologetic mind searches out anything to disprove Christianity, when you fail to see what I am advocating is the most minimal consideration you would give to any field of study, which is to understand it on its own terms.

You would prefer ideology to critical inquiry though, I take it.

One can understand something on it's own terms without simply capitulating to the notion that those terms are accurate. IOW, I can understand why a believer might propose faeries - after having them explain it to me - but this does not mean that their reasons for believing or utterances originating there-from are an authority on the subject of faeries, or that I must defer to that non-existent authority when discussing faeries.

Understand?

It's very common to see religion, or the religious, demanding that others consider things on their terms based solely upon an assertion though, isn't it? In fact....I think that about sums up religion and religious people. Face it, unless someone swallows the kool-aid beforehand you have nothing to say. You cannot tolerate or even fathom dissent, and rather than face it, you would like to sweep it away. I suspect that this is because you (and religion, to be blunt) are either incapable of or unwilling to competently express or demonstrate your position. Whichever it is, I couldn't care less. Now do work, rather than bitching and moaning that others won't go lock step on your whims.
