Michael,
An _ad hominem_ argument is never valid. AND, if you expect not to
be written off "because you are a christian, so what else would you
say", then do not write someone off because you do not like what they
are or because you suspect that their biases have tainted their
argument (as if yours do not!). ("Do unto others as you whoud have
them do unto you.") Stick to arguing the point or you will be turned
off by those who might otherwise have listened--and besides, your _ad
hominem_ argument is contrary to email etiquette.
