Well, I am not going to argue too much. He seems to be a genuine
enough feller with a few questions, he has not got the background
others have and it looked a little bit like he was being painted
into corners. I always felt sorry for those Christians even
though I have more issues with their beliefs than anyone can even
begin to guess at.
About Godwin's Law, I notice that there is Quirk's Exception as
well. So maybe I have fallen under this extension and I therefore
fail to stop the beatings of this poor tailor, and so the thread
can legitimately go on.
