Which is, in my observation, all you've *ever* done. Nor have I noticed any change in the last few days since your mother's cancer was diagnosed. That suggestion is really a rather cheap shot. There's a difference between insisting that the "dogma" is the Truth, and pointing out that arguments which misrepresent the dogma have not succeeded in refuting it. A person of intellectual integrity who actively *disbelieves* in the "dogma" might even point out such misrepresentations in an effort to elicit more valid arguments *against* it. I'm not suggesting Sparaig actively disbelieves in the "dogma," merely noting that citing flaws in the arguments against it is *not* necessarily an indication that a person *does* believe in the "dogma." Those to whom it's important to be able to cling to their stories of why the "dogma" isn't valid, however, may have a tendency to paint any criticism of their arguments as "True Believerism," because then they don't have to actually examine whether their stories are quite as airtight as they had hoped. ------------------------ Yahoo!
