    xan - I think possibly a lot of ex-jws still hold to their notions of and air of superiority and judgement .. looking down their noses on the ammorites, becomig worse than the thing they condemned

    no mrs jones

    i did not, but thank you for joining and throwing in your opinion

    I SAID POSSIBLY - POSSIBLY, I was asking xan if that was possible what he/she thought, whether or not as a thesis it would have any merit.

    SO NO, I DIN'T JUDGE A HOST FULL OF FOLKS but nice of you to try and stir up some controversy there.

    Also said host of folks are very quick of judging others and ridiculing, but hey, we'll let that go.

    You have obviously never read or listened to the intellectual giant that was Christopher Hitchens. If you have not heard his scathing and insightful attacks on theism you should check out some of his online debates.

    I love watching his debates with religious apologists. And I respect the fact that the people who debate him are not claiming 'offense' at the drop of a hat at everything he says. They debate. Unlike a lot of the faint hearted here who want to preach unchallenged. I have a lot of respect for speakers like Danesh D'souza (a christian apologist) because of his debating skill. I rarely agree with what he says, but I respect the fact that he is willing to debate his beliefs and ideas, and not whinge about manners.

    I find it fascinating that people who demand respect for their beliefs and manners....do not respect others rights to speak how they wish and want to control them and label them as arrogant, bigots etc and want to control what they say, and how they say it. And yet, the people who speak as they wish and challenge ideas would defend your right to preach.

    The irony!

    *lost* in answer to you question. I am not American.

    Yes, a few pages back where you asked..... let me ask you this. Are you American? if someone made verbal insensitive attacks on here re the boston bombings, it wouldn't bother you.....*lost* I'm catching up with this thread as usual. It's advanced a couple of pages since I last looked. And now I am going out. So have a lovely day everyone! I'm going out to lunch for mothers day.
