Hmm...that's one take on it. All I did was ask questions, and most of them remain unanswered. When you're ready to answer the question I asked you, I'm all ears. Of course, I understand why you continue to avoid it. In case you forgot:
Does God approve of something because it is Holy?
-or
Is something Holy because God approves it?
Surely someone that runs around here proclaiming to have a firm grasp on God's will knows how to determine what it is that makes ones actions holy or otherwise...
I'm not at all sure what being in person has to do with being able to provide a legitimate answer to a straight forward question.
If my questions are so hard to answer, perhaps you should ask yourself why that is instead of thinking me the bad guy. I've considered these questions, I've been a Christian. I know why you get defensive. Keep in mind GC, only one of us understands both of our positions, and it's not you. All you see is trees. I see the whole forest.
P.S.S.
If you take offense when your religious views are challenged, then it's probably not wise to join an Atheist Forum and solicit Theistic views. If you don't like ice cream, stay out of The Ice Cream Parlor. Get it?
