The whole Mark vs Matthew thing does not matter to me. It seems to be the foundation you have built this house of cards on, and it is nothing.

Good question. Those better at logical argumentation often win the day. I think that is why so many people intuitively distrust lawyers. Many are not after the truth; they just want to win, and those who are better at the sport, win, even if they shouldn't.

"Let me see. Which logical-fallacy label can I attach to this person's assertion?" Snow, you do not seem too interested in discussion. It seems you just want to argue and win.

When I was investigating the Church, I noticed most of the men wore white shirts and ties. Well, I wanted to conform a little, so I went out and bought a tie, but I did not want to be too much of a conformist, so I bought different colored shirts. Upon my confirmation, the missionaries very excitedly stated that I now could go out on calls with them. The Bishop said somewhat grumpily, "After he gets a white shirt." I said, "Oh I need a white shirt?" To which he tersely replied, "Yeah, look around you!" I had no idea that a white shirt was a symbolic gesture. I just thought that the men in the Church were homogenized.

This thread was a lot of fun to read.

Mountain man! With an exclamation point, not a question mark! Thank you for the welcome?

My name is Ron. I live in the mountains of Idaho with my partner, our seven dogs, and two mules. Glad to have found this site.
