Thread Name: BS: According to Falwell
Subject: RE: According to Falwell
That site, Susan, is a subscrtiption site seemingly dedicated to promoting inter-faith cooperation and understanding amnong PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY COMMITTED to a religious perspective. It in no way addresses the problem of irrationality exemplified, but not limited to, sites and attitudes like the one I picked as a semi-scary example.

I do NOT intend to use this forum in an ongoing way to vent my frustration with perversions of logic and rationality to support dubious enterprises and positions...{{translation: I ain't gonna go knocking on doors or standing on street corners...RT or VT, handing out pamphlets on athiesm and trying to get people to leave their churches}}...but I may on occasion, when provoked by threads on Falwell and his ilk, try to at least give some suggestions about what the issues and ways of approaching them really are.

here is the list of sites I was reading thru when I stumbled on the other one. They are early hits from a search on the phrase "from false premises"

oh...sometimes I will show more humor in my posts...donuts & the like. I'm just not in the mood today.
