    FWIW, i see you mostly targetting ideas and on the whole only engaging in insults after youve been the target of the same. Your contributions on the intellectual side are always first class. Holding a standard I can only aspire to at this point.

    My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. James 2:1

    If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not  bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is worthless James 1:26

    This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; James 1:19

      Don't belittle yourself, Jim, you've always been slower on the trigger than I have.

        You claim that members of this site are reluctant to criticize those in their own camp, so it's a little ironic that this whole tangent is because oxmix has been frequently called out for hypocrisy by his fellow Christians, and he's gotten his nose thoroughly out of joint because of it.

          ...and pretty much all you do is pick nits and hurl insults these days; rarely do I see that directed at you first. Be part of the solution, not the problem.

            I've had disagreements with those 'in my own camp' here plenty of times. If I think, e.g., Tassman is correct on something, I'm not hesitant to support that either.

"That idea is unhinged from reality" would be an opinion about the idea. When is the last time I told you that you were unhinged from reality. Or that you were mentally ill because the ideas you hold differ from my own? Do you not understand the difference between ad hominem which focuses attention on what is wrong with the person and actual debate of an idea?

              You can call out an idea without calling out the person. None of you seem aware of that, and in fact, you are blatantly hypocritical about it. You have not the slightest concern about saying the most vile things about me the person while if I even hint that one of you is not a perfectly sane upstanding person you go completely ballistic.

              I hope each of you has to deal with what I've dealt with from you. You have no clue - not one.

              This website, this forum, represents the bottom of the barrel when it comes to Christians beating up on one another. It's like you took Galations 5 and decided to turn it on its head, day in and day out. And it doesn't matter if the target of your putrid bile is Christian or non-Christian. Everyone gets the same treatment if they dare to think differently from you. As far as I am concerned, the only person you treat worse is JimL, and I have no clue why he bothers to interact with you at all.

              Jim
              I'd like you to take another look at your interactions with me in the last few pages.

              I suggested that you had moved the goalposts.


              In your first reply #755 you used mocking smilies and derisive language.

              only the overly literal minded without a capacity to think in the abstract could arrive at that conclusion.

              Do you really suppose my reference to Trump's adultery was meant to be a literal example of the point made ??

              In your next post #757 you again used insulting language, implying that those who disagreed with you (i.e., me) were less than intelligent.

              Let me spell it out for you in teeny tiny phrases
              To spell that out in simple terms for those lured by Trump's Pied Piper's Pipe
              I haven't insulted you personally in any way in this thread, or at all, to the best of my recollection, yet you have the gall to claim that everyone here insults you. I'd appreciate that you modify that statement so as to reflect reality, and apologise for your insults to me earlier.

                There are more camps than just Christians vs atheists.

                  Does oxmixmudd call out anti-trumpers like JimL and Tassman when they get things wrong? I can't recall it.

                    I can't recall either, but I'd be surprised if he didn't (unless some-one else got there first).

                    P.S. I feel closer to Trump than any of you today.

                      I believe this is a good decision, Jim.

                      You and MM are like oil and water. You push each other's buttons way too much.

                      And I AM still your friend, whether you believe me or not, or even whether you reciprocate or not.

                            Thanks, as with mossy's comment - I do appreciate that. And I think you are correct that it is time for MM to disappear from my world on TWEB. It will better for everybody.

                                The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.
