In reply to: Pastor Moorao 's message, "THE BIBLE IS A TEXTBOOK OF SCIENCE" on 08/25/04 10:30pm

Pastor Moorao:

I cannot assume that Ben will agree with me regarding what I'm about to say, but I'd guess that he would. Ben, if you disagree, please let me know.

This message board is for discussion amongst its participants. That means I, Duane, and you, Pastor Moorao, discuss and argue, to the best of our knowledge and abilities, issues of our choosing.

You should probably refrain from posting big chunks of text you didn't write here, since it eats up Ben's server space, and, most importantly, YOU DIDN'T WRITE IT.

You didn't write it, you didn't discuss it, and you didn't even bother to say, "Hey guys - here's something I read the other day - it makes a lot of sense. Here's what this guy (or gal) means to say (insert your interpretation)." Because you won't take the time to do this, I'm inclined to think that what you posted is just about the intellectual and moral equivalent of email spam.

Post a link next time, or paraphrase it, if you've read it thoroughly enough to understand it.

Otherwise, you're wasting everyone's time.

Thanks,

Duane
