Hiraghm recently submitted new a topic which is hidden due to to his low "member score". It will generate a lot more comments if it is visible to everyone, so I am re-posting it here.

This is Hirgham's comment:

"It's getting close to time to vote with our feet.
I'm tired of these intolerant JERKS using this as a forum to attack Christian beliefs, not simply as part of a logical argument, but as ad hominem assaults, with insults, condescension and misattribution.

Go ahead, drive us out. Make this an echo chamber. And when you have to deal with your Moslem or Communist overlords, I hope it's the latter, because I'd like to be there to hear you whine about being fellow atheists and therefore exempt from persecution.

Cause I ain't going to fight 'em for you. I'm going to point right at you and say, "There they are; be so kind as to eat me last so I can enjoy their education".

    we were already discussing this on another post. I put it up because there were excellent references all in one place. It saved me time and helped to make my point. I was in no way "baiting." You know, there were any number of posts on gay marriage in here. When I posted my commentary, I did not see you accusing me of "baiting." little insulted here tech

    So you're now holding me accountable for how every other Christian interacts with you? Talk about enslavement.

    I do not limit my life just to this one site. Individual rights do not exist only within this one site.

    "[Why US is not a Christian Nation] is chumming the water for disagreement plain and simple."
    Most of us don't think that highly of the nation state anyway, so saying a nation is not Christian is not an insult to Christianity.

    Why would that make me happy? In the first place, JG is a fictional character in a book, so has absolutely no impact on me other than as a concept. In the second place, so what?

    I'm not making excuses and have never said that there was nothing wrong with what he said. I'm merely offering possible causal factors.

    Different times had different sensibilities. At one time it was commonplace to refer to various people in various ways that one would consider inappropriate today. Particularly as those who grow older, they can revert to thought processes from younger years.

    You'll be happy to know that using your definition I proved that John Galt practiced altruism, and was not selfish.

    I use such interchanges to "proof" my beliefs. Notice that is not "prove", as I have already done that. Proofing is a method of verifying all is correct - such as proofing a page of newsprint or proofing an ad that might be used. It is to ensure correctness. I use it to sharpen my own understanding and beliefs.

    I do actually bother about the answers. Unfortunately, I rarely get anything in the form of answer that causes me to see that there is anything new or interesting. As several have said lately, what is often conveyed is nothing more than an echo chamber. Altruism is bad because AR said so. I ask what is altruism, and the response is AR said ..., but there is little challenge to how she twisted and tortured definitions - the two most critical being altruism and selfishness. Why did she see it so critical to do this torturous treatment to the definitions? My theory is that she recognized that many see altruism as a good and selfishness as being bad. She sought to undermine those definitions, so as to undermine those philosophies that recognized those definitions. Had she used proper terminology (from my perspective) of slavery or bondage, and self-interest, it would not have been controversial, would not have been given much attention, and would not have reached as many people. That's my evaluation.

    You apparently have authority issues. Nobody can be right around you. You are making excuses for a grown man.
    He-who-must-remain-invisible can’t control his mouth, period. Nobody is complaining bout what he believes in or whether or not he can adapt; (although... we did use to waste a lot of time on his opinions); it’s that acid-dripping tongue that gets him into trouble, nowadays.

    I just gave a quote by Jefferson (?) on khalling's newest post that's always made a lot of sense to me and something I was taught from my earliest years. (Paraphrase) Religion is an individual choice best left as a matter between the individual and his faith or his God.

    I am having trouble following this. I am not a religious man but I respect those who are. Kh posted what I thought was an interesting article and she gets attacked by fellow Gulch members claiming they are being attacked. I am curious. Are you guys saying she should not have posted the article? Should we not discuss religion in the Gulch? I avoid religious discussions in part because I don't know enough about it but also because they tend to deteriorate into the equivalent of a food fight.
