Jar: I was talking to Atheists, did you forget that you are a Christian?
Ray
Jar was doing the Christian thing instead of standing to the side when an extremist from his religious affiliation was on a rampage, exactly in line with what he feels is proper. He obviously does not want to be an enabler to your anger and hostility which flies in the face of Christian Behavior, as he has described it more than once. Some could stand to learn from it.

"Debate is an art form. It is about the winning of arguments. It is not about the discovery of truth. There are certain rules and procedures to debate that really have nothing to do with establishing fact ” which creationists have mastered. Some of those rules are: never say anything positive about your own position because it can be attacked, but chip away at what appear to be the weaknesses in your opponent's position. They are good at that. I don't think I could beat the creationists at debate. I can tie them. But in courtrooms they are terrible, because in courtrooms you cannot give speeches. In a courtroom you have to answer direct questions about the positive status of your belief. We destroyed them in Arkansas. On the second day of the two-week trial we had our victory party!"
