I really have no idea if he'll respond. He's been pretty chicken shit throughout the discussion.

What kills me is this guy's supposed to be some kind of baptist preacher or something. Another friend called him on that, in effect bringing the jesus into it, with his purported comments about the money changers and wealthy people being unable to get into heaven...it had no effect.

But the hypocrisy bugs me and I hate the idea of this guy being able to spread his ill-informed shit to his 'flock'. Oh well....
