I took it to be a statement on how impossible it is to actually tell how is a "true christian" and who isn't; every denomination thinks that they're the True Christians, and that every other denomination is faking it. All of those claims overlap, so that effectively every christian both is and isn't a true christian.

So use your own interpretation on what he said? Again it is irresponsible to leave a message to subjective interpretation in this kind of forum. Isn't that one of the arguments that we atheists use on christians? Why would god leave an important document to subjective interpretation?
Who do I listen to? For me it's more like what. I listen to reason and logic.

Comedy clubs must be a veritable torture chamber for you.
Also, two weeks and 30 posts gives little credence to your expert analysis of what kind of forum this is.

Now we've resorted to ad hominems. Wow this is unbbelievable. Judge me on the merit of what I'm saying rather than what you know about me. Perhaps the categories on this site are meaningless.

Is this place a haven for confirmation bias for atheists? Lets put the shoe on the other foot: If a theist posted something directed at atheists in a similar manner, a whole swat team of atheists would come out right? So where's the consistency men? Or is this site a place for jokers? Lets use this incident to do a little introspection. It seems that some people here are becoming the very thing they claim to be against. They're just using a different name.
I expect all you guys to call me out if I ever started writing bullshit. What example are we setting here? Its bullshit that this type of thing is a joke just because one of our own did it. But had it been a theist it would be unacceptable.

So, if I'm reading this right, you're mad because Kitanetos posted something that made you think, rather than just telling you directly what it means?

The difference, of course, is that my "subjective interpretation," at least has the benefit of being based on demonstrable events, whereas a christian's subjective whatsits of the bible is already factually dubious before they even get to the point of adding their own spin on it.

Is my message really that difficult to understand? I'll simplify: Hypocracy.

I think you are just assuming that Kit has an opinion of something and now being hypocritical. You seem determined to shit yourself over one thing or another.

Who knows, could just be a joke. Or the invisible man doing a prayer.
At this point he/she can come on and claim that their point was that which you're making. I on the other hand would think that would be an example of disingenuity.

Literal much? Should poetry and humor also be banned?
