Faith's Participation in EvC

Might as well throw my five cents in. For a while, I suspected that Faith was Percy in covert mode, because his/her statements tended to be so outrageous that it kept the EvC pot a-boiling. I now accept she exists. Her value to EvC lies in forcing us to confront our arguments, do the research, word our statements better in an effort to convince. When frustration boils over, I suspect we know deep down that our efforts weren`t the best we could present, but could do with a lot more work. And so we should if our views are on show to lurkers, not only now, but in the future via search. Being the lazy types we are, our psyche takes the easy way out and blames the opposition. I give Faith 10/10 for tenacity in holding the line under mass assault. Would we do as well under pressure?

Arach mentions the banning of creationists from the science forum. Actually, I think it would be more appropriate to ban most creationists from the theology forum. Sure, many are up to speed with their particular following`s dogma, but try to get them into discussing Bible history, provenance, strands, DSS, Emendations, Alternative Christianities, Weight of Ancient Witnesses, archaeology as pertaining to Biblical claims, etc. and you are in the land of the ignorami. I would imagine a genuine believer would want to know if they are standing in quicksand, or on a rock-solid foundation. If you can`t debate your belief`s sources, does that make you Christian Lite?
