    It's like when I politely asked you about your stance on abortion, and you launched into a hissy....

    You don't know how to have a civil discussion. You launch insults, then cry like a baby when somebody stands up to you.

    I've asked you to clarify your position, and all you do is cry about ad homs where there actually are none.

    I'm really beginning to think you're only here to poke and cry.
    The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

      You SHOULD be pouncing on JimL for the same thing, since's acting no less the hypocrite - though at least he's not pretending to be above doing such things himself.
      Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

        The way I figure it, JimL and I trade insults and we are big enough to handle it and take it in the spirit of the debate. If I met JimL in real life I would shake his hand and buy him a beer even though we agree on very little. Chuck wants to whine about people using insults when that is pretty much all he does.

          It's what I refer to as The Wounded Puppy routine.

            I'm glad I'm not a politician. It doesn't appear to be a business that's good for ones soul. At any rate, I'd say that's where the shoe would pinch Pence.

              Charles is an obviously decent person who hasn't quite twigged to the fact that "rebuttals" from many on the Evangelical side of the fence comprise insults and mockery in lieu of substantive argument.

                  You accused Charles of not saying anything when myself or Tass insult you and others and yet you are guilty of the same thing so stop playing the "holier than thou" card. That is what is hypocritical. Besides as far as I have seen, Charles isn't complaining so much about the insults as he is complaining about insults in place of actually answering the arguments made.

                    Do you even understand English, JimL?
