On the Recent Storm of Controversy over Voting.
In light of Rod’s most recent comment, I’m done having this conversation with him. (This does not, by the way, mean that I’m no longer willing to talk about the subjects that have been brought up with others, especially Joel Watts and Christian of Homebrewed Theology, both of whom I intend to respond to shortly.)
