You said everything that I wanted to say with more clarity. When I saw that LASTPOETINSITE was running a pseudo-intellectual shell game , it wasn't worth it. You have pointed out her blatant disingenuousness in structuring her argument. She tries to sound gracious and accomodating in her responses when she really is the one being accusatory, biased, and prejudiced against those who don't side with her, especially Christians, whom she never failed to bash in each of her posts.

Pseudo-intellectual? Disingenuous?
Christian-bashing???
When and how exactly was lastpoetnsite being those things?
I found her to be very respectful. I think that she presented herself in a very intellectual manner. I certainly didn't think that she was prejudiced against those who didn't agree with her. I think she is passionate about her beliefs, which happen to be different from the beliefs of some of the people on this thread.
There's nothing wrong with that.
As far as her being disingenuous...disingenuous means not straightforward or not candid. How was she not straightforward in her argument?
As far as Christian-bashing, I think she was giving her perspectives on
the way some people use their Christianity and their beliefs to oppress others. It didn't appear that she was making an across-the-board criticism of Christianity in general. In fact, I don't think she ever said that she had anything against Christianity itself. After all, Christianity was never the topic of the original post. The original post was about how oppressed groups go onto oppress
other groups.
Of course, everyone is entitled to his/her opinion...but I really can't see the evidence that she was playing a "pseudo-intellectual shell game."
