Jews (indeed, everyone other than Christians of Robertson’s stripe) just need to face up to the fact that there is one true religion, and they ain’t in it. Until they are in it, they can’t expect to be in with the program.

Should there have been a roll-eyes smilie here, or some other indication of sarcasm? Or is this meant to be a true statement of belief on the part of the poster?

I would like to be sure before I say anything.

This made me start, too. I thought he/she was talking about Robertson’s position, not his/her own. I certainly hope that’s the case.

“Should”? That implies that such a smilie was necessary. So, let’s just say “could”. Yes, there could have been such a smilie. You think someone who later posted “Now fine, if Robertson wants to make a dick of himself by saying dumbass things, that’s just dandy” maybe wasn’t entirely serious about supporting his views?

It’s not a matter of balls, it’s a matter of being fair. What you said wasn’t so clearly disingenuous that I was prepared to say so without qualification. You might have said what you said through inadequate thought, or you might have said it as a deliberate rhetorical ploy.
