@chuckstar666 No. I'm opposed to people making their own wills the criterion of good and evil. The standard of good is God, and when we forget this, we drift into an ethical no-man's land. If you doubt me, look at much of the twentieth century.

@FarTooHuman Yes, every page of Chesterton sparkles.

@Lyc360 I replied to you on your channel because I could not find your comment on the original video that youtube said you replied to me on

[Lyc360]

@wordonfirevideo Touche!

[Lyc360]

@wordonfirevideo Well you do have a tough challenge - sort of like an outfielder trying to catch 300 fly balls at the same time.

@Lyc360 Oy vey. Have you taken note of the tens of thousands of comments on these forums? Man, I can't possibly respond to every one.

@Lyc360 I've tried a couple of times to start a discussion with Fr. B but within a pair of comments he's missing. I know that Jesus says on the topic of evangelism that it's useless to waste time on people that aren't "open to the truth". On the other hand, snake oil merchants and hustlers hold the same rule as a basic strategy. I'm not making a comparison apart from that notion. Just saying.

@DrHowbeit  One of Barron's criteria for deleting a post or banning a participant is "repetition" I've lost count of the number of times he has avoided a direct challenge to one of his arguments by simply citing various theologians or authors i.e Aquinas, Augustine, Chesterton, etc.

[Lyc360]

@wordonfirevideo So you have blocked posters who provided "poorly formulated arguments". Since you are the judge of "poorly formulated arguments" you can and have eliminated debate with people who confronted you withe the reality of Catholic teaching that you could not deny. You know it and I know it.

@DrHowbeit Friend, take a look at the literally tens of thousands of comments on these forums. Look at the hundreds of vigorous critics of the faith that I've engaged. I am not the least bit afraid to dialogue with a variety of interlocutors. I delete comments for a variety of reasons: obscenity, repetition, poorly formulated arguments, etc. If you object to any of this, I suggest you open your own YouTube site.
