Big difference in "opinion" between those two in my eyes, and yeah, I think the personal attack is pretty much the sign of the ignorant.
Of course, there is a debate question there: the Senator's presumption that God is on his side  |
sure, no one should ask for prayers that something happens.
as for the bolded, making generalized statements about having higher education, while saying others obviously aren't educated enough to think things thru (since they have a difference of opinion from you) in my opinion
is a personal attack. it's calling people stupid without actually using that word.
