There is so much beyond your, absence of any deity preview, that even the blind could see it. To set Christianity or rather biblical Christian apart from the rest of the crowd one must let the bible set the definition of what is and is not God. Because without the bible what do you truly have? Tradition, dogma, doctrine? how does that differ from anyother religious belief?

Biblical Christianity setting itself apart from other religious beliefs does not in any way justify taking the bible view of God as truth. You've set the bible up as the standard of what is God, and I want to know how you justify using that as the standard. Saying "because it's different" doesn't justify it.
It's simple.
In the bible is a map to God, to the God the bible described IE "The God of the bible." I followed the map and found the God of the bible. Not the God of Catholics, the Methodist or the Baptists. These religions use the frame work of the bible to build a religious expression or a brand specific worship, which is ok in so far as salvation is concerned. But not so good as far as deep spiritual connection is concerned. So again after I was saved i doubbled down on the 'A/S/K' or the Road map to God and more and more was revealed.
Following the map and finding God vets the bible as being the only source material one needs to find God.

Unlike any Atheist social gathering which only has the purest intentions to educate poor confused theists.
Or is it the other way round?
You gather together to bully the religious till you figure out your not smart enough to bully us word for word, then you seek to manipulate by twisting the religion to fit some carnie morality system that only you and those like you can identify.
Here's an idea sport, why not just move past the one up's manship crap and simply stay on topic
Been to many "atheist social gatherings", have you?

Quote: Listening to you rationalize your baseless beliefs, calling people retards, wishing hell on people, etc. ( and I'M the one with the carnie morality?!) shows you have precious little to offer to anyone who doesn't believe exactly as you do. You're one of the biggest arguments against christianity i've come across in a long time.[]Seriously? as quickly as you built that strawman fallacy out of my words, I'd have thought that every Christian is as evil as I am. As turning to a straw man argument seems to be your goto when ever your spiritual side is being opposed.
