@ghost-of-a-duke saidBecause you shoot off your mouth get in a shot and disappear.
How were my comments a hit and run?
I made a post to which there was no reply. How do you know I wasn't sitting in the car with the engine still running?
A hit and run thread is when the creator makes the initial OP and is then too cowardly to return to the thread to deal with responses.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhen all you have is a sledgehammer, every conversation looks like a watermelon.
I often find your responses so depressingly backward I choose to ignore them.
True story.

A person though who takes the Bible literally and rejects basic scientific knowledge (like evolution or an 'old' Earth) really has fashioned their position out of a watermelon.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidYes, as I said, cheap shots and leaving, are your standard operating processes.

And yes, as you say, that comes part and parcel of their schtick.
@fmf saidHmmmmmm, while this is easy to dismiss as a simple, shooting fish in a barrel kind of answer, it seems to possibly have the feeling of truth to it.
Politicized religiosity is often manifested in "intimidation and threats" but I think it has little or nothing to do with "attempting to get converts".
