LOL, that's like an alcoholic saying that he has self control just like anyone else, except "it's turned over" when he got drunk over, and over, and over. [/quote]

Not the pp. 
Your simile is very lame and not at all relevant. 
Reaching, are we?[/quote]

It's not a simile, it's an analogy. How can you trust yourself to understand what is being discussed when you have issues with the difference between a simile and analogy?

And of course, my analogy is very relevant. Saying that you "turn over" your intellect, as if that somehow makes it okay, is exactly the type of excuse that alcoholics, drug abusers, and people with other types of destructive personality traits use to justify their behavior. It's shameful, intellectually dishonest, and should be called out for what it is. [/quote]

OK, many of us religious folk don't think you have to "turn over" your intellect to believe. PP may think that. But lots of us engage in tons of critical study of our religions, reading alternative POVs and historical research. I certainly have done all of this (and yet I still believe, go figure).

But anyway, your comparison is not only "lame" like PP said, it's also bigoted. Absolutely no call for taking something that's more akin to exhilaration and going straight to a comparison with alcoholics and drug abusers. You could even have stopped at "the occasional glass of wine for a nice buzz." But your MO is to be as inflammatory and abusive as possible.

So, I'd add to PP's "lame" that your comparison is bigoted, shameful, and intellectually dishonest.[/quote]
