    Bleach splash

    Hate the smell of bleach. Like including vinegar in the wash, the odor lingers and I don’t like smelling it on me. Being a detail-oriented kind of guy, I do a pretty good job of avoiding the stains and the bleach splash. If I see a stain, I use a spwerch of stain remover. Using bleach in the...

    Persona , Fatherhood , Inner voice

    We’re having some trouble understanding what you say. Don’t worry; folks around here are very patient and will let you talk about it at your own speed. Myself, I’m having a hard time understanding about the voices you hear. Do you mean that you are literally hearing voices that aren’t really...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Yes, I owe you an answer, put it off until things settled. You are perfectly correct in what you say. Christians can and should expect to be abused in this world. Again, the spirit/flesh animosity. We can even find joy in this, because if we suffer for the name of Jesus we know we’re on the...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    You’re right. I agree that the general public does not disagree violently when presented with the gospel. I would say that, if you present the gospel publicly, you will receive emotionally violent responses. Interesting how you provide a blueprint for the eager evangelist, culminating in that...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    @Hypnalis said: “your use of “violent’ as written was definitely the equivocation fallacy. That exact working[sp?] in a different context would not be. But that the nature of the fallacy, and why it works on unprepared people…. Some honest advice: don’t use techniques like that with me. Or in a...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    @Hypnalis , You suggested that I made an unsupported claim of a bias on this board, mentioning post #190. Please reread that post. What I did, again, is to ask if that’s what You were trying to say, because your response was a bit garbled. That is significantly different than asserting that...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    You missed my point. My use of the word violent was a legitimate usage. To brand it as equivocation is ridiculous, as it clearly implies it was a slippery debate tactic when in fact your response is another diversion tactic. I had no intention of subtly switching the intent of my words, which...

    Dementia

    As my habitually forthright mother would say, ‘Golden years, my @$$’. They had good health, a decent retirement, great medical coverage, lived in a nice place in the mountains where they were rarely bothered by offspring. Growing old isn’t easy. As I’ve said in another thread, a few years...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Though your definition is from the hyper-respectable Wikipedia, I will disagree with it. Usage 2 allows that equivocation may be either intentional or unintentional. Just because someone uses a term that you misunderstand doesn’t mean that person is equivocating; it may simply mean your own...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Wherever you learned your skill, you are subject to misidentification. I have not equivocated in the slightest. I chose the word violent because I would characterize many explosive emotional outbursts as ‘violent emotional outbursts’. That definition you snorted at is from the Oxford’s, so...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    My wording was intentionally vague enough to be be applied at any level, worldwide on down.

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    I’m glad to respond to your very good point. But first, is this an acknowledgment that there is a clear anti-Christian bias in play? Also waiting for @Hypnalis on that point.

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    Lotta talk, no money. Why don’t we stick with facts? Anti-Christian violence is not a straw man, friend. Let’s also try to avoid the word-ownership speed trap, where one side tries to dictate to the other side which sense of a word may or may not be used. (Recently a Christian poster was...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    You offer a cohesive narrative of how human morality evolved over the course of eons. Since no one can prove something never happened, I won’t try. In court, all you need do to establish reasonable doubt is to present a reasonable alternative. In my view (and that of millions of other...

    "Original Sin"....Just Another term for our animal nature?

    When I said you ‘don’t see’, I was offering the possibility that said evidence is available, but you don’t see it. I understand your position, but disagree. Anthropomorphism has a strong pull on human reasoning, but of course that’s no evidence one way or the other. Would you agree with the...
