Relative, barbarians. It is implicit in the claim that the system in the bible was the best possible system for the world at that time. There were other people in the world, following apparently lesser systems......barbarian is probably an aggressive word to use...but it's accurate. Do you disagree with my word choice, in using "barbarian" or are we discussing whether or not that statement you made was true? I don't have any notion of what you believe other than what you write on the page, numbskull. I know better - christianity is harder to nail to the wall than jello. For all I know you were part of one of the JW splinter sects and not "JW Proper".
You tell me that you believe that the system in the bible was the best possible for the world at that time..and I take you for your word, I accept that you believe that. I'm not required to accept that your belief is factual. No amount of calling me ignorant will speak to the point I raised with you. No amount of claiming my responses are unreasonable will actually make them so - or even speak to that response itself...and no amount of dissatisfaction with my word choice will demonstrate that the point those words were used in service of is in error....
You don't know what my preconceived notions are, and you -couldn't possibly know- what they were....... even if I had them. No more, in fact, than I could know yours. So just stop.
I have bolded and italicized what I quoted from you, the statement to which I responded. Do you or do you not believe that the system in the bible was the best possible system for the world at that time? If theres some misunderstanding -there- then you can disregard my comments. If not, you're stuck with them.
(you seem to think, btw, that my complete lack of patience is some effect that you have on me, or that's brought about by some idea of you that I have.....that's not the case at all. In the years I've been here, I've heard those same claims over and over. It aint you, if that helps. I'm actually quite fond of you....)
