I enjoy pissing off religious bigots too.
I do too. However–defeating that amalgam of True Scottish Strawmen attacking To the Man from Mott to Bailey and back in an Equivocating Circle which was a Widening Gyre while riding at a Gish Gallop and pickling Red Herrings in a Pot Calling A Kettle Black Tu Quoque-style–does not require being…[Read more]
