If you claim "Christians believe X," but in fact many well-known and historically influential Christians don't believe X, then you are making inaccurate claims.
Well, I'm not sure what X is supposed to represent, so there's not much to have a conversation about there concerning X, is there?
I'll repeat my question since you seem hell bent on avoiding it: What god are you arguing for? You seem to be very clear and concise about what god ISN'T, and that's super nice of you, I'm sure we all appreciate it. But what god are you arguing FOR? If no god, then why are you even arguing?

While you've never explicitly said the words "much needed opposition," you've been quoted as saying:
Quote:The flaws of religion are well documented on this forum. Some people seem to get positive joy from repeating the same flaws over and over. In fact I think some people would be satisfied if the whole web site consisted of a big red button that said "Religion Bad" on it, and you could come here and click on the button every day. Click really hard.
The shocking thing for me is that the so-called reasonable people are so committed to falsehoods as well.
It seems to me that you feel the need to play this role of the much needed opposition, even if you don't explicitly say so. Sometimes, reading between the lines can give us an answer, as you have told me before in concerns to reading the Bible.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
