[quote]The point is that not one single religious "truth" is actually a truth at all unless you apply that very special definition of truth recognised only by believers.

You keep saying this. I keep saying you're wrong. Can we agree to disagree and drop it?

Only in passing on religious "knowledge," it seems, do we exempt the teacher from the need to be truthful.

I am being truthful to the best of my ability (which is pretty able). Your continuing claims that I am not are becoming grating. Can you please accept that we disagree on this and stop hammering on it? It doesn't advance the discussion, and could rather easily be perceived as bullying.

They don't get the airtime this end that they do your end.

My end? I don't watch TV. We don't have cable and we don't have an aerial and we don't have rabbit-ears reception in this valley. I have never watched so-called Christian TV. Again you make outrageous assumptions about me. I was referring to the evangelicals that turn up in the secular news.

Best avoid attacks, I reckon.

What an excellent idea. Why don't you?

High-mindedness, it seems to me, comes with that particular kind of religious conviction that says that my faith and only my faith is the one true path.

I'm sorry if my persistence rattles you, but I want to remind you that I pointed out that there is nothing personal in the points I've put to you. I bent over backwards to clarify that in my last long post, as anyone can read. I'm not personalising this - you are, and I find it rather regrettable. And, perhaps, it speaks volumes.
