Only there was no luring involved. The person began with an attack on my OP that, imo, was based on his/her misunderstanding what I was saying.

No matter how much I tried to explain my POV (and I took great care to elaborate on what my OP had been about), the person preferred to continue whipping a dead horse.

In our exchange, I had the feeling I had just walked into a room and someone I didn't know was continuing an argument with me that I had never been a part of.

The blatant one sided attack on christians on du tells a story RegieRocker Apr 2012 #16

It doesn't help that so many right wingers are hi-jacking Christianity.... demilib Apr 2012 #17

That sounds like religionism (racism of religion) to me. RegieRocker Apr 2012 #18

Frankly, I'm surprised this thread is being tolerated... regnaD kciN Apr 2012 #19

The only purpose then is to have a venue for attacking christians? RegieRocker Apr 2012 #20
