Cool. Without even really asking for it, since I ascribe to views VERY
similar to the founding fathers, I assume I have gained the additional
label of Christian.
At least in this poor confused soul's book.
(Perhaps he considers humanitarian activity in some
way Christian? Wierd form of NTS fallacy?)
The alternate possibility is this is a desperate fumbling attempt to cover
up an embarassing lack of knowledge about the famous names he selected to
fill his envisioned afterlife. This could explain his desire to try and
ascribe some logic to this on an off list discussion only.
Everyone on this list has their mind made up? This and the bit about
"patients (sic) or time to waste" is particularly ironic considering the
source.
Of course, he may learn something in his lurking. The plus side, of
course, is that I don't have to figure out how to get a proper filter
working! Well, I should probably do so anyway.
