It wouldn't be a pissing match, merely an exchange of ideas or points of view but I accept your retraction.

Somehow, I just don't see it being a mere exchange of ideas or points of view, because you have already painted yourself as a judgmental person who feels those who think differently than you are mentally handicapped. I don't trust someone who throws out that type of preemptive strike and then on the other hand wishes to 'merely exchange ideas and points of view.' You already set the stage to have anyone who wishes to 'exchange ideas' with you being on the defensive, and I'm not going to subject myself to that.

Anyway, this is not what this thread was supposed to be about. It was about the Marriage Amendment being passed in N.C. Feel free to go back a few pages and read my stance on the subject.

Impaired judgement is being mentally handicapped? Poor choice of words.

If your position is untenable then I understand you being loath to attempt to defend it.

If you think that the Marriage Amendment and religion are separate issues in the debate I see why you won't discuss it.

Fair enough, I thank you for your comments. We'll leave it there.
