How will any of this buttress the validity of your religious ideas or give glory to God? You are scratching in the gutter trying to win the wrong kind of fight, unless your goal is just to cut your teeth in the trenches-- which is not that rare a goal for forum debaters.
I think you've acted trolly sometimes, and so have some of the non X-tians here in this thread. That's what happens when etiquette fails and things devolve into a flame war. But you always have the choice-- bury the hatchet and attempt to kickstart the OP, or get trapped in the quicksand of an offended ego. The latter is basically an agreement to relieve Sisyhpus of his duties-- it's never going to take you to any positive place.
Let me ask you something: is it more important for you to be right, or to be righteous?
Benny, you said this as well as it could be said.
Huggy embraces his grievances in order to buttress his ego.

No. As a Christian, you are responsible to your god. You have in the past and will likely in the future lie in support of your doctrine that he exists. But you pay no fealty to the truth. You've been caught in multiple lies on multiple occasions. To now wrap yourself in the shroud of speaking the truth is not just false, it's funny.

Good. It's a shame that the anonymity of the Internet encourages your worst side. Perhaps you could practice that humility here, and spare others the nauseating drivel you spew?

Don't be a turd.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Oh I get it... you feel the need to hide behind a computer screen, pretending to be something you aren't, rather than just taking the high road and leaving it be?
Makes perfect sense now.

As I have requested evidence for this so called "lying" you accuse me of, on multiple occasions... where is it?
“That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” sound familiar?
I know that YOU know for a fact I have evidence of your blatant lying (please request the evidence, I dare you) so best case scenario you're a hypocrite.

Makes perfect sense now. What exactly am I pretending to be?
Like I said, I did leave it be, until you just had to comment.

In one instance you claim you'd rather die yourself than kill anyone, and in another instance you claim you'd go on a killing spree if you didn't have to worry about going to prison.
Who exactly are YOU pretending to be Judi?
