So you confirm, your a liar then?
In other words, you acknowledge that your argument draws an invalid comparison between two dissimilar things; and that you are unable to defeat the argument I presented; so you choose instead to focus on a point that is incidental to my argument in order to detract from this.

That would have been the easy thing to do rather than pretending to be some sort of hero who stood in the face of death without fear or worry...

He said it to you. Whether or not I believe him is not in question.

Yes it is...I just asked you...I assume that means "no but I won't undermine him."
No, it means my understanding of the truth of the matter is beyond reproach. I know it's true. You're the one who asked for qualification. I can do that. But it means little more to you than his original statment in this thread, which was addressed to you.

This really doesn't help my accusation that you're gay.

Interestingly, the moral of The Wizard of Oz is that the Cowardly Lion had been courageous all along; the Tin Man always had a heart; and the Scarecrow always had a brain.

Unfortunately, its not quite as "glamerous" as you might want it to be, however, I think JIA and I beat the issue to death in the "Can You Handle The Truth" thread some time ago.

I earned a reputation for being "the gay one" when I defended homosexual Catholic's (and non-Catholics) right to attend Church events.
So, essentially much of the congregation decided that I must be gay myself- however, they never tend to say it to my face.
Father Brimley, the Parish Priest, took my side on the issue though, which made it easier. 🙂
Thus, as a matter of principle I never deny homosexuality- JIA however seemed to disaprove of that and say it was an insult to embrace the sin...

How hard are you trying by using a cop-out like "god said so"? Which, if I recall, he did not.
right. My statement said of this country. The mayflower compact is no such a thing.
If you said no such a thing, why are they savages and sandniggers?
No, you imply the permanance of your values and morals (I like the sudden inclusion of the first half of that) because you got them from what you believe to be god; as though there isn't a conscious descision to subscribe to them. It isn't like your validation is greater than mine. It's not my fault your religion is a product of the society that formed it. If anything, I didn't have to bend knee to a mythological character that is nothing more than a retelling of a theme that has existed for thousands of years to draw my inspiration for doing the right thing or not doing the wrong thing. I'm not saying there aren't lessons to be learned from the christian belief system or it's mythology I'm saying it's not the only one that espouses the same rhetoric. And what are those common themes if not evidence that the man-made religions we ascribe to aren't representative of our kinship and the rights we should all enjoy? The only problem is that there are few religions that are willing to admit it, and it's followers would rather spend 2000 years killing each other over how they're espoused.
