No,sorry,l don't.
Still an ad hominem:
Quote:.and, to show that I was trying not to blanket generalize, I even put the word "some" in the OP title. Not ALL Christians, but SOME Christians.
In using the word 'some' you are still attempting to establish a principle:
She is a Christian
She is lying (unproven assumption) AND lying BECAUSE she is a Christian, (unproven)
Therefore some Christians lie BECAUSE THEY ARE CHRISTIANS. Non sequitor..
Yes, SOME Christians most certainly lie. However it has NOT been established specifically or 'sometimes' some/any Christians lie BECAUSE they are Christians.
Quote:gave references to prove it was all lies---
Well no,I don't think so.All I noticed was that you showed the claims are untrue. That is NOT necessarily the same as a deliberate lie.
Do you see MY point now? If not,we will need to agree to differ. I've said all I have to say on this matter
You're mostly correct, but I argue that Christianity encourages people to lie by being impossible to prove with facts, while requiring its believers to say that it is true.
Christianity is not a race- it is a belief, and beliefs can certainly alter the mentality of their believers en masse.
What falls away is always, and is near.
