It is me trying to get you to think outside your little box of christianity. If anything the contrast between what I am describing and what you are expecting should tell you how far off you really are.
Quote: You are making excuses for you faith (a sure sign of an abusive relationship). [Can you cite an example if not, then know that is a sure sign of ad hom attack.
Quote: If you cant understand why some people might hate christianity or at least have a negative view of it then why should they try to understand christianity.Maybe to move past blind bigotry and hate. Fear of the unknown only produces anger and hate. You all sound like a bunch a hatemongers trying to sell each other on sterotypes of what you fail to even marginally understand.
How is that any different than blindly accusing Asian neighbors of eating their cat when he goes missing? then rallying others to attack/accuse them as well only based on a sterotype?
Quote: From the atheist point of view we don't blame a god for the misbehavior of its followers (your pcycopath example). We go right to reality and blame the real people that did/do the things that cause many to turn away.that's a lie.. Do you remember just telling me "Making excuses for your faith is a sure sign of abuse?" If my 'faith' is only based on a directly relationship with God, then that would make God my abuser. Which means you are accusing God. not his followers.
(Another reason you should learn about basic christianity/So you don't look so foolish trying to argue points you again don't seem to understand.
Quote:It is the arrogant, uncompromising, and intollerent nature of the christian that most often prompts the "hate" that you are trying to combat.Again can you cite a specific example?
Or this is just generalized arrogance, hate and intollerance you feel justified in spreading because of what your understanding of christianity affords you to feel justified in spreading.
Quote:When i was young i was very much on board with repenting and loving Jesus. You know what turned me away? The horrible actions of my (at the time) fellow christians to others and to me. They had a god and still had little to no morals. (having this god does not always = having morals....again.)
Fix that log your eye first before trying to make me "understand" the speck of christianity in my eye.
I know you wont.
again can you cite an example? or are you just leveling out charges that i can't possible fill because they do not pertain to anything I have said or done here, and when I don't/can't follow your 'instruction' you can fill yourself with selfrighteousness (Ironically the same self righteousness you say you hate about christianity) and claim a victory??
Yeah, If my whole reason for being was to expose the self righteousness and intolerance of the church, by using these very same tools, I too would not want to know anything that would make my job harder.
