Hi, Wm, seems to me the fringe-dwellers get more strident as time passes. Not being honest enough to apologise for persistent canards on their websites, straw-men that have been refuted over and over, they lurch after anything they think might fly. Even the so-called 'specials' on TV are a mishmash of lies and mis-representations. If religion has to resort to such devices to maintain membership or attract new believers, it must be in worse shape than I thought. The fact that there is no combined move to clean out their respective houses, shows how far from the original concepts they have drifted. When lies become their main means of refuting challenges,when crackpot theories are the chief weapon in their armoury, the cupboard must be growing bare. I`d give more credence to a Christian who had the courage to say 'We were wrong'.
Christians are funny. They seem to be following the Republican rule of not ever criticizing another Christian in public, even though they are a crazy lunatic that you don't agree with
Either that, or they work on the assumption that, if they reveal the dark secrets of another sect, the attacked might expose their skeletons in the closet.
