70. You think you're chewing ok?
I don't see it. What I do see is someone who doesn't like to be challenged.

My original response to you, Selwynn used the adverb 'generally.'

Since you are into definitions so much, so much, so much, you might want to admit that it is an adverb. It is an adverb which asserts general trends. My post does this in context, fairly, and in a non-condescending manner.

All those nasty words you add in your posts are from your mouth, not mine. They appear to be part of your defensive posture. You asked a question, you got some responses, you didn't like 'em, and you threw a fit.

I stand by my assertion that theism connects intrinsically to authoritarianism. You're welcome to disagree, but your original post begged a question and response, and when you didn't get what you selfishly wanted, you went into a defensive rage, demanding, "FIND THE AUTHORITARIANISM IN MY POST!"

You could have started with, "Yes, the doctrinal traditions of many world belief systems are burdened with bias and even violence," citing historical record. You didn't, though. You went postal.

You screamed it loud and strong, instead of asking into the nature of such a connection. That's not very philosophical, in my view, and not very likely to produce that many respectful responses.

Including, not least, no more of mine. Off to bed. Good night and good luck.
