Tall, I am an educator and a scholar. I am tired of Christians who "know the truth" who can only respond with anger or embarassment when they are confronted with probing questions about what they claim to know. This is because no one bothered to "pull teeth" with them. They were told what to think but not how to think. I asked every possible question I could think of and answered them before coming to my conclusions. I will not give people fish but help them learn how to fish. Most don't know how, as can be seen from their reactions to questions.

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

When I read statements like this I just wonder where Christ's humility is!

Maybe that would have been better as a PM? We don't know the spirit in which it is posted and I prefer to think in this way: how I express some things is not how another will, and I appreciate the differences.
At any rate, is it bragging or is it just stating some facts about himself?

Good question! I really can't say, but I can only express what I see.
I too, agree with you about the PM option.

I think he was actually replying to the EGW post, and while addressed to me, it makes more sense in that context.
The pulling teeth reference was originally mine.
