It is merely a response in kind. If you can make up any random baloney then so can anyone else.

You claim jebus is present in your life every waking moment. Then you volte-face and ask why anyone would derogate such a claim because you never made it. Do you not see how idiotic that is?

Slightly unfair. Sure the JW crowd made such claims, and it is hilarious to watch the inevitable squirming and apologetics for the latest fail, but those are not the claims of most christians, just an unhappy, disappointed few. The rest simply ignore the inevitable. The rest go this wise. According to their magic books, apocalypse happened 2,000 years ago. Nobody seems to have noticed. And on and on. It quickly descends into post hoc rationalisation of the facts on the ground.
