I&#39;d appreciate if you named yourself. I just think that&#39;s the polite thing to do.<br /><br />Also, I&#39;m a little baffled by your comment here. You say, &quot;this sounds like all the evangelicals I know&quot;... To me that sounds like exactly the kind of thing I&#39;m talking about. You&#39;re saying all evangelicals (esp. the ones you know) don&#39;t argue the issue but argue straw men, therefore by implication of that statement it sounds like you could very easily build the straw man that evangelicals are stupid and you (presumably not an evangelical) are much smarter and therefore more correct about your beliefs than they are.<br /><br />You might not be doing that, but it sounds a lot like it to me.Chrishttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06266685143006297057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22478825.post-36584622870033835142010-01-03T22:12:33.842+11:002010-01-03T22:12:33.842+11:00Wishful thinking, Chris. Actually engaging with an argument takes too much work (a person might actually have to read something!), so you&#39;re always going to have to deal with the straw man massacres.<br /><br />:-(James Oakleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22478825.post-21438232837353358102010-01-03T19:27:17.805+11:002010-01-03T19:27:17.805+11:00Oh yes, I agree. <br />This sounds like all the evangelicals I know. <br />Well spotted Chris!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22478825.post-34343988367577393352010-01-03T16:15:22.063+11:002010-01-03T16:15:22.063+11:00Ha, yes.joeyspiegelhttp://joeyspiegel.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
