Is this a true Christian?

[Aardverk]

I'm pleased to see that you are moving closer to my viewpoint renew. Your meaning is not very clear sometimes (typing errors I expect) but it would be petty for me to go through your errors point by point so I will resist temptation.

So you have problem with men/woman that are placing their lives on the line not to have a drink, was it mandatory that they do this, or was it an option?

It was optional for soldiers to drink before battle but it was the norm. Remember this was way before the days when we realised that alcohol impaired judgement and coordination.

I believe in nothing, I know what my current understanding is, and until a fact comes along to change this current understanding, then I will expand on what I know to be my current understanding.. understand.

I think I understand. That explains a lot

You really assume a lot about me, however I do have a wonderful vivid imagination and yes at times I need it to work over time, quite wonderful at times, you should try it, great things have come about with vivid imagination.

Except clarity perhaps.

Your comparison is in poor, perhaps this is where clarification needs to be inserted, his beliefs are not the beliefs of the god he is so called representing, he is lying through his teeth in a loud and obnoxious manner.

You and I do not know what the 'beliefs of his god' are so your judgement on that issue is patently questionable. I give him the benefit of the doubt and believe that he was telling the truth as he perceived it. I don't believe in silencing anyone just because I disagree with them or dislike them. I defend your equal right to do the same thing outside a religious gathering, no matter how disingenuous and obnoxious they thought you were. I would then also think that you had the courage of your conviction no matter how foolish and obnoxious some people thought you were.

A belief is a thought, and to deter anyone from their thoughts is incomprehensive, there are ones who understanding when knowledge is being handed out, they are the same ones that know this man was full of nothing useful or educational. Should I assume you did?

Sorry, you've lost me again. I haven't a clue what you mean.

I am not denying the man of his free speech. He can freely speak all he wants, if he did it naked running down the street, alright. It is the content of his speech that is in question.

Excellent! We are in agreement. Why you criticised me for standing up for his right of free speech is beyond me. Yes, the content of his speech should certainly be questioned but not his right to speak and his bravery should not be disparaged just because we disagree with him.

One small clarification. Remember where I inserted the dictionary definition of 'Bigot'? If you look immediately above that definition you you will see a solid line. That line is automatically inserted if you make two consecutive posts. You may well see it when someone is replying to several people and no one else has made a post since your previous post. I was not deliberately aiming it at you; it just happened to be a separate post that became attached to my earlier post which was directed to you. It was for the benefit of those few people who were making bigoted statements and obviously didn't realise what they were doing.

Yet judging by "my deeds", I'm a "true christian". That's the way superstitions go GC. They never end up working the way we thought they might. So what is it, do I not need Jesus, or can we not actually "know" by anyone's deeds?

You scared me for a moment then Rhythm. I thought, 'Oh no, that means I'm still defined as a Christian too', but then I realised that I was not that evil. I'm sure you're not that bad in reality either.
