Participating in religious discussion without going any deeper than the surface

is much like not visiting the WWI soldiers' memorial because it is raining.

Getting soaking wet is evidence of commitment. Avoidance of immersing oneself in a discussion is evidence of nothing much at all. Dropping sarcastic comments into a discussion is much like ruining a punch bowl with fecal matter.

Bottom line: One-line sarcastic quips do not an argument make. They are only excuses for non-participation in the discussion, and are best ignored completely.

Thus endeth my non-specific commentary on the matter.
