its interesting to note the use of the word 'honest' in his invite to 'pm me with honest questions' i wonder what in his mind is the difference between an honest and dishonest question. so far it seems an honest question is one that can be answered in a way that suits them and a dishonest question is one that points out gaping holes in their logic, more questions that pursue this line of thought seem to categorized as persecution.
in the words of lance corporal jones 'they dont like it up'em' (in more ways than one).

Maybe there is just one - and only one - way to to explain them, and maybe it's the way you reckon it is, and not the way anyone else sees it. Maybe you're right. 😀
I don't think so. I don't believe Robbie or Galveston could care less whether or not I reject Jehovah. What they do care about is reaffirming their own beliefs.

Originally posted by twhiteheadi think its a wrong use of the word. there is nothing dishonest about poking holes in an argument. its the only way we can ever really discover if something is water tight. the most honest approach to religion would involve dissecting every facet. i think its more dishonest to run away from scrutiny. its choosing to ignore things if they challenge your belief. making your belief more important than the truth.
