he said, she said
Can we get back to the subject matter at hand?
I think both jar and randman have some fault here:
jar, can you please ensure your posts are clear, so that they do not encourage people like randman to engage in circular (and very boring) debates over: he said/she said. It seems to me that you are saying that Christianity is not evil, it can be intolerant and violent - but that is not necessarily evil.
If that is the case, please just say so, otherwise explain clearly what you do mean so that we can move on. Rule number four clearly states:
rule number 4 writes:
Points should be supported with evidence and/or reasoned argumentation. Address rebuttals through the introduction of additional evidence or by enlarging upon the argument. Do not repeat previous points without further elaboration. Avoid bare assertions.
Before next posting, please bare in mind that elaboration is required to avoid repetition.
randman, please accept what jar says about his own position. When jar says he does not think Christianity is evil, accept that. Realize that jar might not think the intolerance of Christianity is evil. Please, so that the discussion might move forward accept that when you say jar says "the belief system and religion called Christianity is evil, but then says he is a Christian.", this is not necessarily a fair representation of your opponent's position.
If you wish to continue discussing this side of things, please listen to your opponent and try your best to understand their actual position. Rule number 8 has already come up, its the one about misrepresentation. Please stick to it.
Both parties: I suspect the central issue is on differing definitions of the concept of 'evil'. Please can you each clarify what you mean by evil if you wish to continue debating over whether not so-and-so is saying such-and-such is evil.
Short suspensions will follow to transgressors as per rule number 1.
Hopefully this thread can be saved.
Take care, and any comments about the nature of this moderator intervention can be taken to the appropriate threads listed in my sig. Replying directly this post might just get you suspended.
With that said (excuse the harsh tone, but I feel it necessary) - enjoy the rest of the thread.
