I'll not die a Southern Baptist...

Though your diversion attempts have reached pretty high on the "ludicrous" scale even as your credibility quotient sinks, William, there's zero basis for accusing me of mind reading -- even supposing there were a mind available to be read.

Verifiable facts which require no mind reading:
(1) You've previously labeled my question about as lack of interest in the "main subject" of the thread.
(2) The "main subject" of has been [u]SBC church members leaving the denomination[/url]. (See David's initial post, plus those from DJ and Tim Bonney which follow.)
(3) I posted a link to an article with information directly relating to the "main subject." (Fewer Americans than ever now claim to be Southern Baptist, in spite of the fact that they're "familiar with the product." "The conservative resurgence may have had a cost." Southern Baptists have built political power which apparently is not translating into into "the market for souls.") You were, evidently, uninterested in these facts, and instead of commenting on them,
(4) You chose to comment on just one line in the 34th or 35th paragraph of the story -- a line which had nothing to do with the "main subject" of the thread.

With no mind reading at all, anyone can see your attempt to divert this thread from its "main subject" -- and most people will come to their own conclusions as to why you chose that route.

I anticipate recalling your attempt to "referee" alleged interest (or lack thereof) in "the main subject" next time you charge that the moderators on BL.com are biased. Your own lifelike impression of that famous tower in Pisa is apt to be as unforgettable as your grip on objectivity is tenuous.
