If you're THAT upset with those guys, write something on it. Or you could prove that they deify Trump with direct, unedited quotes. Which you can't do. Your argument is preposterous on its face.

Again, I don't care about Trump, Hannity or Tucker. If you feel compelled to prove they deify Trump, do it someplace else and take FD with you.

That's absolutely pathetic. A) Obviously they do "deify" Trump, although that was just an aside and not really relevant B) Whatever they think of Trump has nothing to do with the observation that pointed to a hole in your argument - it was that correctly referencing the aedile of the time, while certainly lending credence to the idea that the letter was composed by a real person in a real historical context does not say anything either way about the theological arguments Paul makes. Your argument is, to borrow an image you will recognize, built upon sand, at least in that respect.

And there you go with that needling technique again, zeroing in on my supposedly being that upset with H & T. You have no obligation to honestly respond to the actual point I make, and misrepresenting it is, I suppose, just you doing that thing you do. The way this thread has gone, who cares? I could keep this thing going, but arguing with you is like shooting a particularly corpulent blowfish in a very tight-fitting barrel. It would be too easy. There is no sport to it, and the bile you contain will just splatter on me. Better to take my shotgun and go home.
