China is -deeply- steeped in divine mythologies.  Always has been. Honestly, Max..why don't you just go look this shit up? It would save time and get you off the boards for a minute. Win-win.

They're still atheists.  Anything else?

Hahahaha.  Oh?  The US is officialy "atheist" in exactly the same way...and yet. I'll just say it again, maybe you should take a look.....their stories are pretty damn cool. A whole lot less "begats". More colorful, more filled with the presence for living and being in the world, and all that.

You -have- ruled out chinese gods...right? They're not the right gods, after your exhaustive search (of not realizing that they exist)....?

When did I say the US is officially atheist?

No that you need to be..I'll stress that again.  You don't actuallyhave to be a flaming moron to be a christian...that's just a personal choice that you make.

What makes you say that and why do you talk so tough from behind a keyboard?  It ain't cool man...LOL

You can come and have dinner with me and my christian wife, buddy.  I cook like a motherfucker - make you think about sellin your soul...and I'll tell you the same things. Little known fact, I have a quasi-religious prohibition against turning down a stranger knocking at my door. I feel that it's my sacred duty to feed those people and tell them good jokes, and send them on their way with whatever they need to get to the next place,. The trick..is that you can't ask or plan it, you just have to show up. If you ask, I'll just tell you no because I'm the goddamnned hospitality grinch, lol.

You're welcome in my shoe anytime, you know, secretly, on the dl.

I'm only telling you what an educated pastor should have told you a long time ago. These things that you've been saying.....? They're wrong, they're risible, and they harm the faith. You don't have to do any of that. There's another type of christianity.

Was anything in the OT about a christ? Well, in a word..no..because that would be antithetical to their beliefs. But who cares..you're not a jew. Christians don't have to pretend to be jews...and they certainly don't have to pretend that jews were christians. Does biology have to be wrong for christer god to be right? Well....no...again..it's only the insistence of ignorant shit for brains like yourself that make it seem so. It's entirely possible to be a devoted christer without any of this silly shit..in these 1k pages. My inlaws and my wife are living proof of that incontrovertible fact.

It's just you, and your terrible fucking pastor...that's the whole problem. You're making shit unnecessarily rough for "jesus"...gratz.

What's this other type of Christianity?

The less ignorant kind.  Haven't you heard the good news?

Boring yet it caught your eye?

It was actually a reference to another conversation.  Also, it's kinda odd that you would make a claim like that, because you're directly making an error that you claim I'm making indirectly.  Apparently you have "special knowledge" about me.  Really?  You can read my mind?  Wow, impressive.  What else should I know about myself?

Your first sentence is not relevant is is ignored.

Your prior passive-aggressive behavior was and remains boring. I was commenting on (i) your venture into pretending you have a special frame of reference (I suspect once more layers of your onion are peeled back you will get around to claiming special access by reason of some form of a holy spirit, likely a member of the Christian Trinity, but I could be wrong--we'll see, won't we?) and (ii) the inevitable exposure of your deeply hidden and purposefully disguised hubris. That stuff is quite entertaining and not boring at all.

Your attempt at projection is also boring, and quite childish. Projection is a common tool used in passive-aggressive behavior, so you have returned to being simply boring.

Ignored, yet you responded to it.  Nice ignore technique. lol

I'm not passive-aggressive, you're just delusional.  Don't even know who you are. Apparently just someone looking for attention.  Anyway, hi.
