Perhaps a different way to put it is that I don't hold the objective
nature of reality hostage to human reason. In fact, I contend that
humanistic first principles are generally not adequate to objectively

It's a fine line I agree. In many cases I do think it is appropriate
to use articles and internet sourced media etc. to be provocative and

it. The *extent* to which you do it crosses that line (imo). Perhaps
we could delete (and archive) the posts that don't start discussions.

A pissing match is more appropriate analogy. It's abt ability, not
size. That's generally the case, isn't it?

What does that have to do with using this site as some kind of home
base to yell at people on some other site that don't like you?
I didn't come here to have a fort. I didn't tell you I was going to
moderate you.
I even said please.

I think you should start a website if you want to put up posts like
this one. Why would I care about Kitty Hundal?
This post isn't even about religion.
I'd like you to not post stuff like this anymore. Please.

I'm going to need a second with this. My definition of love changed

Feel loved and remember the next time you're tempted to hate it's just
a temptation to be independent from love.

I wasn't commenting on the number of children. You asked about STD's.

Hi atypican,
I agree with you that would be a nice feature to have. But I wonder
if the real issue is the morality and trust of the participants. For
example, even having that particular feature won't stop the
accusations from someone who wants to eristically and
opportunistically abuse it. So I consider that regardless of what

Which is not a comfort for a standard that is objectively inadequate.
And that method, process, algorithm, decision tree, or heuristic are
simply not adequate to discern what is the personal and relational
action of God's Holy Spirit.
I just consider that there is no heuristic or algorithm that is
adequate to replace what is the personal action of God's Holy Spirit;
