re: #235 Buck

Fine, I guess we need moderate christians to wear a yellow cross now? Are you positive there were none? Was I saying that they were only?

The ‘yellow cross’ statement is an incredibly offensive reference to the yellow star that Jews have been forced to wear. Given that I am obviously fine with moderate Christians, this is really stupid of you to say.

I did not say there were no moderate Christians— why are you lying and saying that I said there were none?

And yes, by citing counter-protests to Phelps in the context of a discussion of moderates in a faith reaction to extremists, you were claiming it was moderate Christians. If not, then your statement makes no sense whatsoever.

You might think of Catholic Bill O’Reilly as moderate, or maybe an extremist. I am not sure.

However he, and those around him are very clear about how they are against Phelps and everything he represents.

Again, I’m not making any claim that there aren’t Christians who protest Phelps. There are. What I asked was why you were pretending the group at ComiCon was moderate Christians instead of a mix of people.

In addition, I’d now ask you why you lied and claimed I said there were no Christians in that group.

Can you explain why you lied?
