A Serious Question For Theists

[Esquilax]

Then stop trying to tell us you believed and show us what you were doing while you were a believer, details please. Many here have claimed to be former believers yet give no evidence to prove their statements, why? Are you afraid to be scrutinized by the very scriptures you once believed.

Tell you what, GC, I'll make you a deal: you lay out a series of specific, detailed and unambiguous conditions for "True Christendom" that have no basis in personal interpretation, your opinion, or exclusively your denomination's beliefs, and I'll see how many ex-believers I can encourage to share their previous beliefs.

That's only fair, really: knowing the criteria ahead of time stops you from moving the goalposts later, and will demonstrate early whether or not you're trying to bootstrap "godschild's personal beliefs" into the title of "True Christian," and cutting out your personal preferences and interpretations only makes sense. After all, you said believer, not specifically of your particular church. I'd assume, after all, that you hold christians of other stripes in higher regard, religiously speaking, than an atheist? At least, you recognize that they are believers, even if they're doing it wrong?

Let's see how this conversation goes when we add a little accountability onto the would-be interrogator, shall we?
