79. I suggest you read some of Charlie Campbell's other

writings. I've been doing that this morning. His writings on LGBTQ issues. Or his writings about Noah's Flood, if you want to stick to religious topics.

Read a bunch of his essays. He is a proponent of rightwing ideology, and justifies his ideas biblically.

When you post writings of someone on a site like DU, they really don't stand alone. They link back to other things the person writes, and those things can be examined.

Charlie Campbell is a right-wing fundamentalist. His beliefs about the intersection of religion and politics are completely opposed to what this website represents. You copied and pasted one thing from this author. Despite its illogical structure, it is also a reflection of how that man, whom you call an "authority" on something. I maintain that he is not an "authority," but rather an "authoritarian."

Ideas are challenged frequently here. That will not change. You might find those challenges to be "personally offensive," I suppose, but think about the "personal offense" someone like Charlie Campbell presents in so many other areas.

Do, please, go read what he writes on other subjects.
