What of he who thinks his faith is original or clever when it is neither? Look, I'm exceedingly familiar with your brand of batshittery, you haven't attempted any arguments or apologetics on these forums that my father in law hasn't beaten to death trying to convert me to christianity for the last 5 years. Both of you seem to think these ideas are brilliant and fresh, both of you seem to think that I have a misunderstanding of your faith, both of you are woefully wrong. Don't you think it's just a little bit presumptuous to assume that you are the only person here who is familiar with this stuff? How likely do you think it is that you've hit upon some never before heard or seen apologetics (rhetorical, you already laid out your thoughts on this matter in a post here on these forums, you clearly think that you are a brilliant apologist)? Do you imagine yourself to be the originator of a new brand of christianity, free from the influence of this or that church, denomination, or influence? Your faith is that of the burnt over belt. It's a smattering of items from the spiritual buffet that you feel can make a strong "argument". It's a faith of redefinition, sophistry, and assertion. Again, the secular influence on traditional christianity.
If you think that the shit you've tossed out here doesn't represent specific denominations and churches then you need to handle due diligence with regards to your own beliefs. If you're imagining that you are parroting the words of christ, and that these words do not represent specific denominations and churches, again, complete lack of due diligence. Just who do you think put these words in your mouth (and in jesus' mouth)?
