Comment #368108 by Ruggles:
But theology doesn't claim to be metaphorical, interpretive or poetic. It claims to be true.
If I point out that it might be an idea to hold off discussing hoof rot in unicorns until we actually have a unicorn would that be "intellectual thuggery". On other threads we have a poster proclaiming the virtues of "Enlightenment Values", what he doesn't seem to cotton is that one of these values is the rejection of received authority. If this is intellectual thuggery then so be it.
