Then you are deliberately blinding yourself to the facts. Whatever your opinions of my beliefs are, I do my damndest to be objective and extend the benefit of the doubt, however I can find nothing that gives any reasonable or credible doubt to the claims that the September 11th terrorists called themselves and believed themselves to be Muslims. If you have, please, cite it here.

Oh, BTW, is that a splinter in my eye??

but whatever it was, I don't know enough to make a comment on it. I might question it, which is the way I learn about such things, but when it comes to a subject as deep and wide-spread as a religion, I won't comment until I have competant knowledge of it.
And *how* exactly will you learn or gain "competant knowledge" when you keep dodging the issue?

I just wish certain people would do the same on here.
Russ, I have just negative repped you for this sort of childish sniping and now you make another petty dig without having the guts or the good grace to use anyone's name. If you mean me, *say* it is me you mean. If it is someone else use *their* name. Don't just sling mud around and hope it sticks because it does your credibility no good at all.

Yes - to me there IS a difference. I know a lot more about Christianity than I do about the Muslim faith.
And so, because you lack knowledge, you should give them the benefit of the doubt, rather than implictly apply guilt by association.

*They* probably do but if they could show me anything in the NT which promotes their views and ideas I'll admit I'm wrong.
You will have to take that up with them, not me.

I'm 99% sure you're the only person who thinks I said that.
Ah, now we have the fallacy of Appeal to Popularity...!

Quote:
Nope, Xac was right first time.
Now we're back to the distinction between "True Christians", ie the ones that Russ agrees with, and those who he disagrees with who are, therefore, not "True Christians"...
