I am here in the room with me. You are not.
It's been surprising to me how many people tell me that I don't know my mind, but they do -- based on these posts.
Quote:The timeless essence of Christianity is the determination to diminish and rule men by convincing him that his deserts are small, he is indebted by being born, his judgement are untrustworthy, and his fate dependent upon the currying of favor as a child without concept of dignity would from a vainglorious god to whose caprices he ultimately has no recourse. In other words, misanthropy.
This is YOUR definition of the timeless essence. I can name a number of Christians who don't agree with you. How can you prove who's right?

On the contrary. I have been able to decipher, for example, that when you say "continence" (more than once on this forum) you mean "countenance," and several other oddities.
What you said earlier, that I have something I have conceived to be my "studied lubricity," is difficult to decipher. I'd be glad if you'd tell me what it means. Maybe something about reducing friction, or maybe something about lewdness. But I do my lewdness on other forums.
