I would add that their may be a perception of some level of hostility that comes from all sides due to the low moderation level of this board.

So do you also consider Some Schmo, Blixa, MrStakhanovite, DoctorCamNC4Me, William Schryver, Pahoran, just me, sock puppet, DrW, Rambo, MCB, why me, and Doctor Scratch your "partners" because of your common shared disbelief in evangelical Christianity?

I don't care if your partners agree with you or not. Argumentum ad populum is, to use your term for it, "classic fail."

I'll go a step further and say this board is hostile to Theism in general.

If we were on a board discussing how your beliefs are wrong, and that was the focus of the board along with the focus of each of the posters you reference, then sure. It would make sense. But that is not the case, obviously. Indeed whenever I do bring up the weakness in the Mainstream Christian position on things it seems one of the posters above tends to disagree with me.

Good point. I can agree with that and implicitly that was my point. It doesn't matter who agrees with ya, it doesn't matter, you're wrong.(;

True indeed although it seems that our resident critics and complainers can't see that a belief in God transcends Mormonism. In other words, this board is dedicated to Mormon topics. Why must we be treated to general assaults on religion in the name of science? I can't be expected to defend Christianity in general.

Whatever, stem. I'll be sure to refer to posters who think your religion is ridiculous as "your partners" from here on out.

It lifts my spirits to know that you've found some way of twisting around the dismantling of your fallacious arguments into feeling like you've come out on top. Good on you!

Isn't everything beneath, MsJack? Oh no, that's just how she prefers to respond to people--"you're beneath me".

Cute stuff. I really wish none of this happened. I'm a bit perplexed she took my comments as offensive all things considered. I'm glad she laid it out for me to point out what she saw as hostile from me. Now I know. I know what "provokes" her--Do not challenge her on her knowledge of things LDS.
