Igz,
while I think I know where you are coming from, and your points here are well taken (by me at least
) I would say that Matt has a right to post in a manner that he thinks will get his point across. Some posters like to keep it short (thank you Ohio
) while some others like to stretch things out a bit. This thread is only about two weeks old, and it IS a very important topic, so I don't see the problem in giving Matt and some others a little more time to develop their points to maturity.
Like Nell said, nobody is forced to participate (or even read for that matter), and there are
LOTS of other boards with all sorts of juicy topics to delve into. I bet Mr. KSA is cooling his jets right at this very moment, waiting for some of us to come back and reenter some of the interesting topics over there on the apologetics boards.
This is one of the big reasons that the software and website was purchased and set up the way it has been...so that people can have choices and enter into discussions which interest and affect them the most. Certain topics may not interest them, or maybe a certain topic just gets their blood boiling too much to make it worth it. Hey...no problemo!...just mosey on over to one of the other boards and "get yur post on" saints.
I am NOT asking that any particular person not post on any particular board. Just don't make it your life's work to attempt to "counter" and/or "balance" everything that is posted. Address the issues at hand. Address the issue with the Word of God and with your practical experience. I think Peter D did a rather nice job of this a little earlier. He refuted and rebutted with some real practical experiences. (I think he used some verses too). Of course, some of us oldies but goodies are probably going to hit him back with some refutations and rebutting of our own...but this is what a discussion forum is all about!
