My undergraduate degree is in Liberal Arts, with concentrations in
History and Philosophy. Analytic truth is that which to deny is to
involve a contradiction. Such is not the case in your statement, in part
because your statement was, a) a single word, "Hate fulness", or b) a
parenthetical sentence fragment "(if nothing else)". Even combined they
are not analytical truth, nor is the full sentence in which you embedded
your assertion. In most of your posts, you make sweeping statements
which you assume to true, and which others have, at times, shown that
are, at least, debatable. To which you respond as follows:

> You are even ignorant of the degree

Well, this is on the level of "so is your mother." A sophomore in high
school should be more mature than that.

Paul S. and I certainly have some differing opinions/beliefs; after all
he's announced that he's an agnostic, and I hold to historic Reformed
Theology (hence, I believe in a real hell), but, we do agree on at least
one thing, to quote Paul, "Truth is under no compulsion to obey anyone's
opinion, of course. Not even your opinion -- i.e. YOU MAY BE WRONG!"
Which is one very good reason to restrain your comments, and buttress
your arguments with facts, instead of strongly stated opinion.

This "sub thread" began with your attacking QC's post, which you
obviously consider hateful. But, it didn't take you long to be as
hateful as you accused QC of being. Perhaps you should consider the
damage to your own soul from your hateful words.

BTW, not that it matters, in addition to my full accredited
undergraduate degree (Middle Atlantic States Association), I have a
three year graduate degree in Theology, which has both regional
(Southern States Association) and professional (ATS) accreditation (for
our non US friends, that's as accredited as an American degree can get.)
So in reference to your "Ignorance Squared" comment, I think these facts
show both your hate fulness, and your own ignorance. O

f course, I am ignorant, of many things, like Swedish, nuclear
engineering, and sub atomic physics, but then, those are some of many
things that we weren't discussing.
