Polar Bear, you are one of the type of people I was referring to who have been mashed by believers.
The response you got is what we are not supposed to do.
I came close to a response like that when some JWs came to my house.
I was angry they twisted the bible into their lies.
I was angry the young guy (who was with the guy speaking) was being sucked in to their crap.
Later (much later) I realized my response should have been different because they are deceived (I am not good at confrontational stuff- abused people go into fight mode quickly) .
Then there are the impostors.
Whether the agents of Rome (who backed off openly killing those who won't bow to them- to the Jesuit order of assassins who do it quietly),
to the Islamic murderers of history and today.
ALL these are impostors.
The greatest triumph of satan (besides non-belief in him) is to use believers against God's way.
I am not making excuses. I am telling it as it is. We all fail.
In general, most Christians I know were among the most messed- up of people prior to conversion.
I am one of them, we now have to make the transition to godly people-
voluntarily unlearning lots of bad behavior.
Guys here stumble over free will, claiming there isn't any.
If that was the case- we would go from whacked- out to triumphant in one fell swoop.
It don't happen.
