'Scuse the snipping.
Why didn't he just say what you said then? a LOT more succinct.
He said that in two sentences. Well, two sentences of his words and two bolded selections from the Bible. That's a lot more succinct than anything I've posted on this topic.
When I see quoting from the bible I just tune out to be honest. If that is the only way to make a point that is pretty poor IMO. Also IMO I feel his point like others of his kind is to ram his bible down peoples throats.
You're admitting to not paying attention to his post even as you make claims about what he is and isn't saying? This is obviously flaming, dude.
He wasn't ramming anything down anybody's throats. He didn't say anything about your or your beliefs, he didn't say anything about what people should or shouldn't believe or think or do. He didn't raise a finger against anybody here.
That's the reason he did so rather then make the point the way you did. He just can't make a point without doing so, jumping up and down on his soapbox screaming 'see, see this is what my bible says so it must be true!!!!!11' . I know, I know you are going to get all up in arms at that. But I am entitled to that opinion.
How can you say that you're entitled to an opinion on something you just admitted to not bothering to read? You're attacking somebody who made a thoughtful, respectful post. BTW the above is clearly an attack and an insult.
While factual dates are nice certainly not required. My issue once again, is the pretending they are.
Right, as posters like…
Like….
Actually, I can't find anybody claiming that in this thread.
Their entire religion is based mostly off the pagan religions before them. Holidays, rituals, stories in the bible, etc. Yet they don't acknowledge it and that again is my crux of the issue.
You claim that you were a Catholic, but it's clear that you've never read any of the Church fathers. That's not required for faith, certainly, but that's another sign that your exposure is limited.
And again, you were making claims about all Christians that aren't supportable. Yes, your exposure is too limited to make those claims, even if you were the Pope for twenty years.
I 'attacked' him? By using facts to back up my stance? Really?
So if a church forms and preaches the sky color is red and a member part of that church posts such I am attacking him if I post to the contrary using accepted facts?
First, you're claiming factual accuracy that I think you lack. But whether you're right or wrong has nothing to do with the 'attacking.' You called one of his major religious figures fictional and compared him to a Peanuts character, for starters. You're also making personal attacks on him as a poster, calling him essentially a crackpot and crusader.
You are just splitting hairs now.
You're just disgusting, I guess we're at an impasse.
Why you are upset? Because rather then jump on the bible is fact PC bandwagon I called a spade a spade.
No, because you're a condescending douchetard who knows nothing and can't interact civilly with people who are essentially backing you up in this thread, because you don't have the reading comprehension required to determine that, and you crow about the fact that you don't understand!
Again nothing I said was in error about the bible.
Huh.
As for your last point every time someone said 'our president' when bush was in office my retort was 'your president not mine, I didn't vote for him'. If he said 'jesus my lord and…' then it wouldn't have been a issue. Making that point to show my consistency on the matter.
ENGLISH LESSON!
My = first person singular
Our = first person plural
If you're not a Christian, you're not one of the first person plural. Shut up, you insufferably arrogant ignoramus, you failed your literacy skill check.
But that aside I certainly see your point, all I said was rather putting words or intent in his mouth why doesn't he just clarify then it will be a non-issue.
You're still doing it. Why hasn't he clarified? Maybe he's not on. Maybe he knows that you're a hideous troll and not worth the time, which is more than I can say of myself.
