No. Read in the context of this thread, his summation was put in quotes precisely because it wasn't your exact words, but exactly because it was your message. That English, she's a funny mistress, for those of you who don't get her ... especially when sarcasm is involved. You see, that requires a little insight.

No, what it is is that you're not sharp enough to understand that you're on the receiving end of a joke. I'm smart enough to understand that he wasn't actually quoting you, word for word, but rather, putting quotes marks around his own summary of your post.
Clearly, you don't have a problem with Ham being a liar. You've brushed his lying off with what boils down to "big deal". Why are you complaining about that being noted?

His point was that you don't care about it from the standpoint of a Christian.
You can thank me later.

If Ham is lying about the numbers, he isn't doing it to get approved for the project or get a bigger rebate check. Any money Ham receives from the state is going to be derived from actual sales tax revenue his attraction generates....and not numbers he presents before it is built.
I think his real lies are in regards to what the real religious requirements are for the job, myself. I trust the court will get to the bottom of that.

No. You don't seem to understand that it isn't his lies that are onstage right now, but your defense of them. The fact that you are defending his lying undermines the moral argument for your faith, because you are clearly basing you argument on material practicalities.
If you were a moral Christian, you would condemn lying, no matter the cost or benefit.
Thanks for showing your colors.

Look at you, trying to deflect from the fact that you are defending deceit.
How cute!
