Boy, this site needs some fresh mullah blood.

I'm not sure I think we have any mullahs here at this point. Tex and Indy like to define the right fringe of this site, but the reality is that the right fringe of this site is pretty moderate.

What about Bernard? Maybe he could post a few times?

Indy and Tex have let us all down, not to mention their religion.

I appreciate the fact that at least you can dialog with them on many issues. Lots of the CB types will stare back at you with vacant expressions and simply say, "does this have any bearing on my salvation?" And the conversation is over. I'm glad that Indy and Tex engage.

You just want more mullahs because you like watching people encounter difficult areas in the church and decide that they no longer believe or no longer are orthodox. I imagine that this is reaffirming to you personally at least on some level. Although I don't find that reaffirming, I do find it reaffirming to watch others wrestle as I wrestle. I think it is a need that many of us (most?) are getting filled here.

Bern's a mullah? Not that I've noticed. He has let me off the hook several times when I probably deserved a little Turkish Prison 101.

SU has been particularly bad lately at generating questions/topics for which he has no real interest in the answers themselves; rather he wants to see what kind of chaos he can create by starting the threads. With his attitude, why should anyone want to spend any serious time or effort making a serious and thoughtful response?

If you really wanted this, why did you chase away DJRoss?

I'm not arguing that you should. But if you and SU left I would miss you equally.
