re: #172 Buck

That is how history goes. If you find one thing that is “overturned” (your word), then nothing they discovered is right.

Who claimed that? I called him a great scholar, and he was. However, he started from a biased place, and that biased his work.

Look, I really don’t want to play that game. Once again I have let you completely change the subject, one stupid question at a time.

Buck, it’s not my fault that you depend on an outdated Evangelical Christian for your biblical scholar. Please read some of the more modern research.

I think that a defence of circumcision is that it has been practised by my people for 4000 years.

I know. And that’s a really stupid defense, since how long something has been done means nothing on its own.

You think that if parents are allowed to force their children into playing american football they should be able to do this.

Nope. I used football as an example something more damaging than circumcision— especially since circumcision is a net health benefit, as I said.

AND DON’T say I didn’t answer your questions. I did. You did not understand the answers, or disagreed with them.

You never answered a lot of them. You never answered what the cruelty in seething a kid in its mothers milk is, why you depend on evangelical Christians for biblical research, why you believe in the historicity of Abraham because of the allegedly (though, most likely since your source is way out of date, not) correct description of towns in the Torah.

A long list of things you didn’t answer.
