It is your right to vote down a post without being sure what the author meant. But when we enter into this voting thingy, we are simply trying to reinforce a particular behaviour (positively or negatively). Why do we want to modify other people's behaviour? Do they not have their right? This is why I avoid (as much as I can) that particular game. This is why I don't accuse people of trolling even when I suspect they are. I am simply advocating evidenced based reasoning. I hope no one here is against this. Here is an opinion from my heart-throb on Sheldrake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Sheldrake is given the right to be wrong. Ok, that's settled, yours is an opinion also - as is mine. 19 hours ago, romansh said: This is not clear. What cause would I have to give a this answer. But Spong does come to mind. Let's try that again: do you know an Anglican who is a critic of the Progressive understanding of Christianity, a reasoned, well thought out critique? And Spong is a progressive so it would be someone, for example who is a critic of Spong, Borg or others. 19 hours ago, romansh said: Where on Earth did you get that? The first sentence is obvious as to where it came from. As for the second, I'm just going off what you wrote, "I can no more throw out Sheldrake's position...." and "Here I think Sheldrake is very wrong." So, you pick and choose, as is your right, what you agree with or disagree with in Sheldrake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
