Emne: Re: There are fakers out there ready to take advantage of anyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. I don't assume everyone who calls himself "Christian" is who they say they are.
(V): [ You've decided your able to say who is and who isn't a Christian!!! ]
Where do I say that? You are playing with straw man dolls again. Man up, and play with real people for a change.
[ "True Christians are the first to regulate themselves, and to call fakers what they are." Isn't that what I'm doing? ]
No. Do you not know what you are doing? You said:
[ I just see the way they are doing it and understand that a good percentage of the money will never reach any 'causes'.. but will be spent on 'admin' costs. ]
[ It's all they want your money. They are even starting to use Glenn Beck style educating.. just a few pens and a white board though. With lovely scenes of Flames/Jerusalem/the cross all to show they are genuine ]
[ It's based on past events. It's also based on knowledge of certain charities in the past caught paying themselves a high wage. ]
You are saying (or implying) frauds and rip offs are the rule. I'm saying they are the exception. In what universe or parallel dimension is that saying the same thing?
So let's try this again...
[ "True Christians are the first to regulate themselves, and to call fakers what they are."
Isn't that what I'm doing? ]
Nope, sorry... the answer is still no.
Then you respond to something I say that answers your response before you responded...
[ "I'm not above using cliches. They have their purpose, but all the time and for every occasion? Are you kidding me?"
Then why do you and Art keep on using the same tired ones on liberals, etc all the time? ]
Because we are responding according to your own method of debate. Duh!
Is it unethical (or illegal) to do as you do? Is it do unto others better than they do unto you unless it is you who are doing the doing unto?
