Of course this member again fails to establish a valid basis for their assertion.
It seems as though, Publius, you don't have to offer any defense as to why YOUR position is right. Instead, you only critique others, much like creationist fundamentalists when arguing against the idea of evolution. It's bogus man. I mean, you're whole argument is derived from a single book, which offers to you, a sufficient concept of God. What gives that book so much credibility aside from it's obvious service to you? Can you deny that you're entire stance is based on faith, derived from the Holy Bible, and the God described therein, presupposing that doctrine is the correct one? I feel like this is where the real argument should take place, because like arguing with creationist fundamentalists, no amount of logic or evidence will do any good. They simply do not listen. Although they may be very intelligent and have many good talking points, their system of logic is not grounded in the same fundamental principles. Therefore, their tactic is simply the continual rejection of all opposing opinions as utterly false, and the assertion of their ideas and values as being all-true. I'm not knocking faith, or God. Only, the fundamentalist creed that seems to justify to them, their ability to tell others what is, and what isn't real. That is why, in my opinion, fundamentalist Christian thought is so compatible with the republican ideology.
