All that pretty well speaks for itself. I have nothing to add.

And where have I resorted to absurdities to defend my beliefs? Do you even know what my beliefs are? Please, let’s see how close you get in your understanding of my beliefs with the real beliefs of Friend.

> You have an interesting style Friend. After wearing down your opponent you then accuse them of being dogmatic and refusing to present evidence.

Please, share with us where I accuse that you are refusing to present evidence. In fact that is the very thing I encourage! Present evidence of your claims so that onlookers or participants have something to consider and add to whatever helps them make decisions. That exchange is far more important than whether you or I feel like we have won an argument. On issues only children playing in the sandbox worry about such nonsense as to who wins or loses. I can hardly believe you are acting and responding as you have here.
