A quick word on "Overwhelmingly Negative Influences"

[Drich]

He hardly goes to church with me anymore and he has the same kind of debates with the christians at church as he does with you all.

Ooh!  Does he call them indoctrinated, douchebag Nazis that can't think outside of their own bubble while simultaneously laughing at and trivializing any stories that people have told of their traumatizing experiences?  And when one of them tries to bring up a counter-point does he just berate them for being too stupid to understand him?  Does he argue points that contradicts other points he's made without batting an eye?  Does he insist he is the expert on every subject?

No, I doubt he debates them as he does with us.  They'd have put him in traction on more than one occasion.

...well I wouldn't say no exactly.

I have pointed out indoctrination, cult like behavior compared that to Mormonism or worse yet the dreaded Catholicism
I have done alot of reading on church history and on the religion's specific history and do harsh comparisons that often takes sacred/empty traditions and expose empty repetition rather than the holy ceremonies. Then pair that with the warnings of Christ on people who worship in such ways...

I use the carrot and the stick (words and phrases) that reward and strike at the hearts or pride of the people i am talking to. for 'good people' such as yourselves who fancy themselves thinkers and educated exposure of your ignorance does far more to wound or strike at a proud heart than being called a blind guide or being accused of being in danger of be on who 'calls out lord lord.' on that last day.

While the words are different, the sting identified with foolish or stubborn/empty behavior is not. My work is simply taylored to them specifically much like my efforts here are tailored to those who fancy themselves learned and proud.

I offer no quarter to anyone who wants to know the truth or those who ask me or try and teach me of said truth.
