You’d be “whiney” too if you had people claiming you were lying without any proof about things in your life that were very important to you. I am very proud of my wife and the life we have together, I totally did not deserve someone like her but feel very blessed to have her. Now I have people telling me that because I have old dating website accounts floating around there (which is where I met my wife) it somehow proves I am either lying about being married or an adulterer? It’s absurd, I think most fair minded people see it for what it is, but it still bothers me a bit. Thoughts?

I at least understood Cinjin, that even if GTG kept an open mind and got his faith challenged, it didn't matter if he got converted or not. I think he meant that even after being questioned and if GTG so chose to stay a Christian, then it is the correct philosophy for him on a personal level, otherwise he would change his mind and that would be correct for him. We're not debating now whose's convictions are the "right" ones on the bigger scale this time, just for the individual. No need to get so worked up about it

Well if that is really what he meant then I see no problem with it, but the way he phrased it looked like he meant something else by it. Maybe better word choice would have been a better idea.

Taken from their website:

The Holy Bible was written by men divinely inspired and is God's revelation of Himself to man. It is a perfect treasure of divine instruction. It has God for its author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter. Therefore, all Scripture is totally true and trustworthy. It reveals the principles by which God judges us, and therefore is, and will remain to the end of the world the true center of Christian union, and the supreme standard by which all human conduct, creeds, and religious opinions should be tried. All Scripture is a testimony to Christ, who is Himself the focus of divine revelation.

Well old earth creationists belong to churches that have similar confessions so that does not really answer the question. Southern Baptists would tend towards YEC though, although I do not believe the southern Baptist coalition have an official position on the age of the earth.

Might be, I can see how it might be interpreted in your way too.
Let's Cin decide if I was right or not in my interpretation of that statement. If not, then you can rant all you want

Fair enough

Meh, if you know Cin, you know he didn't mean it that way. He's a crass motherfucker at times, but he doesn't put his position out there as the definitive correct one.

Well ok then, I apologize to Cin then.

Well, you don't have to go that crazy. Just interjecting an educated assumption. I don't get that vibe from him.
