re: #366 Buck

Yes, I have stated many time that I don’t think I had to explain that. I still don’t think it was confusing. You think I meant ONLY moderate christians, and that is not what I meant. I said that in my first response to you.

It is, however, what you said, repeatedly. Which means that you should have been grateful, rather than defensive, when I corrected you. And not lied about my position in return, when you asked me if I was positive that there were no Christians there.

I seem to recall you being a man of faith; what does your faith say about lying?


My QUESTION about “are you positive” was to make the point that it wasn’t all or nothing.

But that’s not what “Are you positive” means, Buck. Not in any way, at all, in any context. It means that you’re asking me if I’m positive about X, where X is something I’ve expressed. You’re claiming “Are you positive?” can be used as a question to someone who has never said he believed what you’re asking them if they’re positive about— that’s idiotic.

This is kinda sad.
