Interfaith Group

(33,982 posts)Yes, you did make an allegation about me in post 23. That was true.
You ALSO made an allegation about the group, with the fatwa 'line' in post 5 about leadership/marching orders. I am not confused, nor attempting sleight of hand.
You did BOTH. I am not casually substituting one for the other. Both posts exist.
"Grow the fuck up and sling this hash elsewhere"
Hash was slung in post 5. I was pointing it out when I asked you to elaborate/give specifics. I do not, and will not 'sling hash' in this venue.
"Oh, and, Mr. Sky Daddy, don't talk to me about "trivializing a function of a major faith", with or without Wikipedia."
As I already mentioned, I play that game. You bet. I make no apologies for it. And I've gotten as good as I give. But I do it where the rules allow for it. It is expressly forbidden by the rules of this group. (A rule I have abided by, whenever posting here.)
(I have, to my knowledge and to the best of google's search function, never used that particular phrase, but I have certainly used other language along those lines, so I won't deny the sentiment, even though I never apparently said that.)
"teapots or unicorns"
A useful rhetorical tool in analyzing any unsupported claim. Where I imagine it comes across as vicious, would be in the recent abrasive delivery in the A&A or Religion venues, not the actual comparison. Bertrand Russell was no petty/crude cynic or comedian. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bertrand_Russell
