1 - your people skills need a LOT of work. 
2 - putting my personal opinions about religion aside and looking at you for the human being you are supposed to be, as long as you continue to belittle others and put them down without a second thought, I hope no one will ever see you as the example of what Christ-like is supposed to be. I'm by no means perfect, but I'm also not trying to promote a "religion of peace" so how I come across to others with regard to being an example is a moot point. You however, go out of your way to tell everyone how they should live and behave and why they should follow Christ. Clearly - your shining example of calling my kids retards in another thread - hits a new low. I have no desire to learn from you or ask you for any advice when you have disregarded my children this way. Like I said in the other thread - I'm sure your god must really be proud of you.

I'm not the one that called your kids retards you did.

Bullshit.

Quote:Maybe your kids were retards, but mine were constantly challenging the stories in search of the truth, and when they found truth they built their lives around it. Maybe the bible should say if you children are retarded and believe everything this does not apply to them... but to the other 99% who seek out the truth and live by it.
bold mine.


Quote:I asked if they were retarded because of how you resented their basic cognitive skill set in recognizing truth. Because my children did not have any problem identifying truth.

No. You did not ask me if they were. Look at your own words above. Where's the question in that? Oh. It's not there. Quit being dishonest. 

Quote:honestly take 2 mins and read this: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=ERV start at verse 12..

What this says is we are not all built the same. You are a hand and demand to be greeted as a hand, not only that you worshiped as a hand and only know how to praise as a hand. I came to you as a foot and greeted you as a foot. being 'snow flake' hand you thought it offensive to be greeted as a foot.

do you understand? You wanted me to greet you as you though a Christian should greet and address you.
 

No. I'd like for you to give out the respect that you demand of everyone else. Act like your Christian faith depends on it because the way you act and the way you treat others is not representative of a loving god. 

Quote:The problem, your idea of Christianity is not only wrong... it is toxic. to build a belief system on a god on a faith where everyone must conform to the degree that they can be manipulated by people outside of their beliefs is wrong... and I simply called you on that wrong not by connecting all the dots for you, but to use the same angry despondent tactic Christ used when confronted or when someone tried to manipulated him. And guess what you acted just like the Pharisees did.

You aren't god so stop trying to play the part. 

Quote:Why one to get your goat for trying to get mine

I wasn't trying to get your goat. I was responding to your post. 

Quote:Two to show you that you definition of who and what a follower of Christ is is so wrong you did not even know we were allowed/demonstrated by Christ Himself to be able to verbally beat you back/rebuke you. 

You were rebuked that's it. I never once told anyone they should live any such way. again that is your idea of what Christianity, and you have superposed it onto me. 

I am forever telling people they are free from the law, not that you should live xyz to be a good person. That good person is the devil's stick. With God you do not have to be a 'good person.' In fact God loves you because you know you are not nor ever will be a good person, so how then would I tell anyone how to live?

Again that is just a broad brush people with "slow" kids sometimes use to dismiss what someone has to say with out taking the time of reading or understanding what was said.

Nope. You didn't rebuke me. I don't take kindly to people insulting my children, whom you know nothing about. You want to take that shit out on me, fine. But you leave my kids out of this.

Sure, lots of believers were indoctrinated in some matters. Even so, are you arguing that it's good to apply stereotypes, rather than treat people as individuals? Sure seems that way.

But indoctrination can start when you first become interested and then continue after you convert. I am particularly thinking of my brother here who has become increasingly indoctrinated over the 20 years since he converted.

That's ignoring for the moment the implicit indoctrination we both received at school as part of living in a historically christian culture and to a certain extent our family that for him lay the groundwork for a later conversion.
