Assuming that your christianity is the true christianity isn't helpful in that regard.
If everyone except yourself is somehow mistaken, perhaps you should let everyone persist in those misconceptions that are less harmful to your faith than your own convictions clearly are? Think of it this way, if it were fairly simple for most of us to pass on an incompetent gods offer, how would arguing for a douche god change that scenario? Is the understanding of god that you're offering truly the understanding of god you wish for others to have? I doubt it. I doubt it because you seem to have an understanding of god that is not supported by your own comments, your "arguments" backfire on you constantly, leaving the audience with an impression that you clearly disagree with and waste further effort arguing against.
There's no sense in painting god as an unfathomable prick if that's not what you want others to believe about god. It doesn't help, and it's no correction in the first place. Understand?
Do you have an example of one of these many 'back fires?"
You're in one right now..and could pick any of your threads..at random, and find yet another example. Let me summarize all of your "corrections" -
"Hey, silly atheists...gods not x, he's y..now what do you think?"
- I think even less of god than I thought before
"Well you're wrong about that"
-.....but my new opinion is based upon the conversational assumption that what you just said was true.....
This, Drich, is why you fail. As it stands, you're a much more efficient cause of deconversion and further alienation than of missionary acquisition or mutual understanding. I've told you this before....as have others on these board, and yet you persist in a manner that has shown precisely the opposite results as you clearly intend.
It's the definition of fucking insanity man, and I have to wonder if you'd keep hammering away at it like this if it were anything else in your life, other than your faith, or whether you'd assess the results and change course to achieve an aim.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
