Yes, indeed you have. By not giving direct answers to these questions, by avoiding the very question I ask above, you have in fact given us all the actual answer to the question. You could have given a simple "yes" or "no" to the above question followed by corroborative evidence. Your unwillingness (and apparent inability) to do so speaks for itself. > R. Rosen chooses to ignore both my answers and my counter charges and to > reiterate the question endlessly. What countercharges? I have answered any pseudocharges you have brought forth, mostly revolving around complaints about being intolerant of beliefs involving intolerance. I have also given detailed reasoning behind my answers. You are clearly no better than the rightwing Christians, or even the Nazis whom you despise. Your intolerance of other people is at the bottom line UNJUSTIFIABLE. The basis for your choosing to be intolerant, your holy texts, are just as arbitrary basis for choosing to be intolerant, and thus just as justifiable, as those of the rightwing Christians and the Nazis they emulate. And until you can show otherwise, then the answer to the question above, is there any difference between you and the other bigots, is a resounding NO. > Rather than subject net readers to further repetition, I invite anyone who > is genuinely interested in an answer to read what I have already written. ... and to see my point in vivid living color. -- "There!
