Apparently, PhatCatholic, my current opponent over at the debate blog, has been getting help in the Holy Water debate from popular Catholic blogger Dave Armstrong (link).

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.
Just so you know, the "help" I received from Dave was in fact very minimal. Before I wrote my opening statement, I sent him an email outlining how I planned on approaching the debate. In that email I also asked him if he thought I was going about it the right way. He said I was. He also suggested once Scripture passage, but I planned on using it anyway.
ReplyDeleteThat was the extent of the help that he gave me. In other words, all of the arguments in this debate have been mine, and I have not received any more help from him since then.
I felt like I should clear that up, lest you think that you were actually debating two people (Dave and I) or that I was acting as Dave's robot.
Pax Christi,

PC,
ReplyDeleteIt's good to know, though obviously I did not mean to suggest you must go it alone.
By the way, thanks for your curteous revision of your rebuttal - I would have been content to gripe, but I appreciate that you reduced the length.

I'm glad that you appreciate it. I just didn't feel like it would be right to leave it as it was.
