This is the magic of Christianity. They have so many versions of their faith that, no matter what we say about the faith, it's bound to be wrong on some level of their doctrine, which allows them to claim we're just confused. Even if we're actually describing it correctly, but in sarcastic tones they don't like, they'll often say we "know nothing" because we failed to give it the deference they think it deserves.
It's kind of amazing. Danny here doesn't realize that we talk to jerks like him literally every day, year after year, all eager to tell us why and how The One True Religion works, and despite constant lecturing of this annoying, asinine sort, and literally hundreds of discussions about points of doctrine (none of which fully agree, I grant, but we do discuss them), they still think we don't know their religion.
There are just no words, to me, for that kind of ignorant arrogance.
You know why we use funny descriptions of your beliefs, Daniel? Because the real truth, according to your mythology, is that the God whom you say created everything and thus set up the entire premise for how the universe operates created conditions of social behavior which will cause us to be tortured the moment we have real evidence (see for ourselves after death) if we don't accept a story about a blood sacrifice made to appease his vengeance over these conditions he made. He had no problem showing proof to Doubting Thomas, in the story, while Thomas was still living. He had no problem proving himself to the disciples. Yet this same story alleges that we must take the disciples' word for it, on pain of torture in the system your deity allegedly created, instead of just dying peacefully. This is a loving god?
Get the fuck out of here with that crazy shit.
why don't you ask Jesus to show Himself. Pray from the heart.

Which raises another interesting question for our Daniel to ignore - did his god invent the concept of sin as a way of feeding the worms?
no its a form of torment
