Hidden my response so that if you don’t want to read it you don’t have to, it’s your choice. Hopefully that keeps me from being suspended for simply explaining why Brian ends up in these circuitous fruitless and frustrating ‘debates’ in an honest direct way.

You said religion is about control. You act like I'm shoehorning in something irrelevant when I'm simply responding to what you said and stating why I think it's wrong-headed. If that's not the kind of discussion we're on this forum to have, what are we doing here?

If what you want to have is a left-wing securalist echo chamber, feel free to say so and I'll do my best to remember that request and just address my comments to other posters in the future.

The problem Brian is as I've pointed out ad nauseum and even been somehow punished for is that you consistently contradict yourself AND then move goal posts, redefine words & statements, reinterpret stats differently depending on what page of a thread you're on, etc etc. It feels like you're doing it om purpose. It's like arguing or debating with smoke and it's impossible to figure out where the gas light is going to light up and on what page. That is what you do and what everyone thinks you do so hopefully you'll go look in the mirror and see that for what it is and perhaps even change so that debating with you doesn't actually feel like the biggest waste of time ever as you move the goalposts not just back and forth from endzone to 10 yard line but from sideline to sideline, into the stands, into the concessions are and then out into the parking lot. That is why its so hard to talk to you.
