I know this is going to mean nothing to Tex, coming from me, since my opinion has little value to him, but I think this question is really out of line. If someone is willing to volunteer this information, that's one thing, but I really don't think it's appropriate in any degree in an intellectual discussion.

Woot was fine with it, and that's great, but I would hope that this is not something that's asked of newcomers in the future. I see it only as a tool to justify condescension toward someone, but as irrelevant to a thoughtful discussion.

Amen to that.

Anybody who doesn't believe like Tex is believed by him to be non-practicing or apostate. Don't you find everybody disagreeing with you to be apostate Lebowski?

SoCal, Leb, Arch,

Here woot and I were having a nice friendly debate with no "condescension" and you three have to waltz in with your anti-Tex psychosis and threaten it. Completely uncalled for. If anyone needs a little manners check-up, it's you three.

In any case, this is last I time I want to hear of how I make every thread about me.

Yea, I wasn't terribly offended or anything, but yea going forward it's probably better to leave that particular topic alone. Meanwhile, I want to hear your thoughts on the flood.

I wasn't going to pursue it further, and I appreciate you letting me know where you stand. I'll get back to you on the flood comments tomorrow.

Good addition to the thread. We all feel more enlightened.


Apparently, like so many of the mullahs, preaching the gospel is more important than living the gospel.
