Dear Patti:

There can be no level playing field when the lone Christian is so vehemently opposed and personally lambasted by a team of bitter secularists. They can deem "not civil" any comment by the Christian with which they disagree, no matter how civil its manner is, and thereby disqualify it from getting posted to the thread.

I have done my best to steer clear of argumentum ad hominem, and to write from principle, but in a forum like this, where the journalist, the editor, and most of the readers appear to be secular statists who oppose Christianity on the whole, and some are caustically sarcastic about it, the deck is stacked against me and my efforts seem to be futile.
