Brother Gene Bridges has commented on the Holy Water Debate over at Triablogue. (link) I'd love to comment on his comments, but I'm reserving my own off-debate-blog remarks about the debate until the audience question phase is complete. Still waiting, by the way, for the Pro-Holy-Water questions from PhatCatholic's side ...

Comment Guidelines:
1. Thanks for posting a comment. Without you, this blog would not be interactive.
2. Please be polite. That doesn't mean you have to use kid gloves, but please try not to flame others, even if they are heretics, infidels, or worse.
3. If you insult me, I'm more likely to delete your comment than if you butter me up. After all, I'm human. I prefer praise to insults. If you prefer insults, there's something wrong with you.
4. Please be concise. The comment box is not your blog. Your blog is your blog. If you have a really long comment, post it on your blog and post a short summary of it here.
5. Please don't just spam. It's one thing to be concise, it's another thing to simply use the comment box to advertise.
6. Please note, by commenting here, you are relinquishing your (C) in your comments to me.
7. Remember that you will give an account on judgment day for your words, including those typed in comment boxes. Try to write so you will not be ashamed if it is read back before the entire world.
8. Stay on topic. If your comment has nothing to do with the post, email it to me (my email can be obtained through my blogger profile), or simply don't post it.
9. Don't post as "Anonymous." If you are going to post anonymously, at least use some kind of recognizable "handle," so we can tell you apart from all the other anonymous folks. (This is moot at the moment, since recent abuse has forced me to turn off "anonymous" commenting.)
10. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you; and abstain from doing to others what you would not wish upon yourself.
Thanks for the heads-up. I usually don't visit Triablogue. I'm not very fond of their polemical style.

It's not their style that's polemical, but their content. It is a blog of controversy, of debate, and of disputation.
ReplyDeleteAs, to a large extent, is going to be every active apologetic blog. If there is no disputation, there is no active apologetic.
I understand that. But the dunce hat and the pic of the KKK burning a cross? It's just not necessary.
ReplyDeletePhatCatholic,
ReplyDeleteI think Gene would probably say that it is all in good fun.
I wonder whether similar graphics at Dave Armstrong's site similarly provoke your distaste.
If so, fair enough.
