Why?
Are YOU a Christian?
your anger, profanity, and overall repugnance of a human being would
argue against it, or at least if you do consider yourself a Christian,
you're a really shitty one.
Are you ashamed of your beliefs?
How come?
I'd have to say that the life of any human being proves that nobody
is perfect.
Although based on what I've seen here - I'll stack the value and
morality of my day-to-day life against yours any day.
What makes you say that I am either "God-hating" or "leftist"?
Explain. Feel free anything that I have posted in 11 years to back
up your bullshit.
I'm "devoid of values and morality"? Really? What makes you say that?
Ah, the Sin of Pride.
Surely you are going straight to hell.
Are you ready to admit to being Christian then, or are you still
ashamed of your faith?
Good Christians follow the teachings of Christ, and enhance their
communities by living good lives.
You are neither a good Christian, nor a good person.
Personally I'm a hard-core agnostic, but I have a deep repect for the
strength that some draw from spirituality.
You on the other hand are just another intolerant, ignorant asshole -
just like the right-wing fundies.
Now for the record - I am not only not a "fundy" - I'm a-religious, a
soft Agnostic. Always have been, always will be.
So you're a Satanist, then?
Would Jesus say such things?
Would a good Christian?
The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool
will swallow up himself. -- Ecclesiastes 10:12
I've neither behaved crassly, nor have I been intellectually
dishonest - unlike you who calls people profane names, and refuses to
answer simple questions.
"A man who is wrathful with us is a sick man; we must apply a plaster
to his heart - love; we must treat him kindly, speak to him gently,
lovingly. And if there is not deeply-rooted malice against us within
him, but only a temporary fit of anger, you will see how his heart, or
his malice, will melt away through your kindness and love - how good
will conquer evil. A Christian must always be kind, gracious, and wise
in order to conquer evil by good." -- John of Kronstadt
Are you being "demonized"? How so?
Why not just answer the questions?
Read your Bible.
"Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise
your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;" -
Romans 14:10
I have no desire to "ridicule" the man on religious grounds.
You might want to pay attention better Beavis - I wasn't talking to you.
What 'traps' am I laying? Explain.
No proud Christian would refuse to admit they were in fact a Christian.
What 'traps'?
Fuck you, too, pal.
What hypocrisy of that? What have I been hypocritical about?
"Why do you pass judgment on your brother? Or you, why do you despise
your brother? For we shall all stand before the judgment seat of God;" -
Romans 14:10
I have been completely honest all along the line, and am a big fan of
the truth.
Jesus loves you, even when you turn your back on His teachings.
I wouldn't crow too much. Your pal the Prof was calling me a 'fundy'
earlier today.
I have no interest in the Inquisition. I have no problem with
Christians (or people of any other faith) in general.
You cannot come up with a single example where I have "demonized
Christians" either as individuals, or as a group.
Earlier you called me a "fundy" - now you're implying that I'm one of
you?
What an asshole.
I say again - I have no arguments with Christians at large, or
Christianity in general.
I'm perfectly capable of mocking him without him changing tactics in
any way.
What "scriptural inclusions" have I used to decry anyone's personal
articles of faith
What makes me a "sicko"? Explain.
Frankly your high-horse on this one is getting a bit old.
We'd need to define "Christian tolerance" first, and determine
whether or not you are even a Christian.
What 'hatred' have I demonstrated?
Jesus taught that we were to love one another as well. I really dig
that about Jesus....
I'm sure I have a better house than you, a better job than you, a
better family than you, and a better looking wife to fuck. Being me
isn't such a bad thing....
In what way am I "hypocritical"?
Stand your ground. Be ashamed of your beliefs - and be PROUD of it.
"Moral incertitude" isn't among my many faults, incidentally.
Sorry, but dishonesty isn't among my faults. I don't lie.
If you have a spiritual advisor, you really should consult them.
What have I "waffled" on?
you're just an incorrigible asshole
I'm not interested in assaulting any faith. The issue is whether you
even have one...
Me, I don't ridicule Christians for being Christians.
What is wrong with your ability to prove your own statements? If
it's right here in this thread - let's see the quote.
You seem to be trying to bait me. Hint: you're using the wrong bait.
The truth hurts?
I've never claimed to be a Christian
How have I contradicted myself?
Scripture was intended to teach - not to insult....
you yourself turn your back on the teachings of Christ
I want to (and can) appreciate the literary nature of the Holy Bible
without acknowledging that it is the literal Word of God...
I'm no hypocrite.
You're some brand of Christian. My guess is that you consider
yourself "Christian" even though you don't go to church
What the hell is a 'faith trap'?
Would you like to have a theological discussion about how your
behavior directly contradicts the teachings of the scriptures?
That would be fun.
There's no "inquisition"... You've admitted you consider yourself a
Christian. You totally suck at it...
If you were a better Christian, you'd be a better human being.
You bore the shit out of me.
