Is that all the DataRat said to you? He was so much kinder to you than to me. Please tell him I send my regards, and that I still cherish the picture he depicted of me. Getting into more conversation with him would be like shooting myself in the foot. I'm not ready to walk with a limp this time of year, it's too busy. He can turn mean and nasty but clings to Christ like nature of "judging with a righteous judgement." It is unfortunate that I lost his website or I would show you what you are up against. It is filled with vile and hatred in the name of Christianity. I would like to lurk if you would give me the website you "debate" with him. I have spent HOURS of trying to explain to him about the New Covenant, but he is steeped in Covenant Theology and Calvin's Institutes.
