And we know you, goober. Try reading what he actually said before you dogpile, preacher. It'll improve your looks. Unless you like looking yellow. That said, I dare ya, no, I double dare ya to step up to the mic next Sunday and declare you accept the theory of evolution, because the evidence that it's true is beyond compelling, and all truth is God's truth.
Then come on back and tell us how that worked out for ya, how it wasn't a divisive topic after all.Veritas vos Liberabit<>< Learn Greek <>< Look here for an Orthodox Church in America<><Ancient Faith Radio

I addressed Juvenal, I didn't think his name calling was appropriate. He lists his faith as humanist, so I assume that he is not a Christian. If Juvenal does not adopt the faith, maybe he could adapt the appearances.

Maybe it is just an anger fueled parody of reasoned discussion.

The peanut gallery you are a part of is not the entire readership on this site.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by oxmixmudd View PostI dont think so obp. Mm calls people names in almost every single post when he changes their tags in his replies.

Nowadays it's more of a political divide, and posters on opposite sides attack each other. Posters from both sides engage in all the behaviour you deplore. If it's not direct attacks, it's the implication that you're an immoral bigoted moron if you don't agree with the latest accusation leveled at Trump / current defense of whatever thing Trump has said or done.
Suggestions to change the atmosphere:
(1) Put your own house in order, including apologising for your past faults in this area.
(2) Call out bad posting behaviour whoever does it. Police your own side of the debate, not just the other side.
(3) Set a positive example by refusing to indulge. Always assume other posters are acting in good faith, are intellectually honest, and are capable of accepting the truth. Post with that in mind.
(4) Be willing to modify your positions if the data / arguments don't support them
(5) Exercise charity in interpreting Trump's actions. Present other possibilities than just 'Trump is eeevilll' in your posts. All sides of an argument. If you only 'call out' what is 100% unambiguously wrong, you will get people agreeing with you.
I'd be willing to join you in the above....>>> Witty remark or snarky quote of another poster goes here <<<...
