Avalos said that lame garbage to me about being a minimalist and basically let me know what he was really meaning. Just like Israel F. anything that confirms the bible they will interpret out of existence...that's what they mean but you caught him dead in his own trap...can we say <B>Haman</B>? <BR/><BR/>So he's been claiming all along that this story goes back to 10,000 to 12,000 BCE, when it does good to make it to 2300 BCE? <BR/><BR/>Then he claims that none of you or I are qualified to examine the record and make an accurate determination as to authenticity because only he is a "linguistic" expert...As I told him, are we just to take his word for it 'cause he said it? Please!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the accurate portrayal of the facts contained within the book. The benefit of the doubt that I initially gave him is over...his arguments are a farce and has proven to be such.<BR/><BR/>" Clean-up, Anti-Christ Advocate down isle 7"<BR/><BR/>Thanks again.District Supt.

Do you oppose lengthy books, like John Loftus' book referenced by Paul Manata? If you're only saying that lengthiness is unjustified in the case of Paul's article, but is acceptable in other cases, then why don't you demonstrate that claim rather than just asserting it?<BR/><BR/>Also, why should we think that Paul is a "crazy, testosterone-driven evangelical internet warrior", yet your use of a term like "morons" and your lack of supporting argumentation, along with your complaint about "verbiage", don't suggest any negative conclusions about how "crazy", "testosterone-driven", etc. you are? Paul's post is more reasonable, documented, and respectful than yours.Jason Engwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17031011335190895123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-86997711108024043562008-09-22T21:48:00.000-04:002008-09-22T21:48:00.000-04:00Nice attempt at censorship, morons.Pardon, nobody ...<I>Nice attempt at censorship, morons.</I><BR/><BR/>Pardon, nobody has been "censored."
