Proving The Resurrection By the Minimal Facts Approach

Notice how he didn't answer the reply.

This is why using "ignore" is for pussies and charlatans.

As Frank Herbert wrote in Dune, "Those who see only what they wish are doomed to rot in the stink of their own perceptions."

Randy has chosen that route.

Can't remember who it was who told Luther, "You have chosen a hard road, Little Monk."

Parkers Tan, you know I love ya, but I can't blame Randy for ignoring ad hominem posts. He's here to have a discussion with people who genuinely want to discuss these issues. 

I tried that. That isn't what he wants. He ignores what he cannot answer, and he mocks those who don't accept his preconceived notions. He refuses to put up evidence when he makes bald claims; unlike you, he doesn't refer to his beliefs as beliefs, he behaves as if they're fact. And when none of that works, he himself engages in personal attacks.

He doesn't want discussion. He wants a podium for his views.

Great. But they will be questioned. The fact that he cannot stomach questions, the fact that he hides uncomfortable views, is very unconvincing. We have here a guy who says that God is on his side, and yet here he is, afraid to cross opinions with certain members. Daniel walked willingly into the lion's den, with faith that Yahweh would protect him ... but Randy cannot stand to read some offensive posts?

Some god. Some faith.

You I respect because you don't portray your beliefs as objective truths. You're wise enough to understand that your views are yours and they don't apply to everyone. I'm happy to discuss all those topics without personal attacks, because you don't pretend as if you're Moses coming down from the mountain with graven truth. You don't have the ego, or the bombast, or the foolishness of pride, and you don't ignore people simply for making you uncomfortable.

You've earnt my respect. Randy hasn't; and by his liberal use of ignore, likely never will.
