It is easier for you to see me that way, because by making me a hypocrit you dont have to think about my answers, since they will all be lies in your eyes. It is EXACTLY what fundamentalist Christians do towards atheists. They see them as sinners, so they dont have to think about what they say, sinners being always wrong.
It is that presumption from both sides, the presumption that no matter what happens, YOU are the righteous one and the other side is always wrong in every possible way, that makes the dialogue between believers and non-believers very hard.
You dont know me, there are a thousand reasons why i wouldnt answer every question i was asked, but you immediately assumed i was avoiding them.
So that's what this is all about. True Christian is playing the martyr. The more people disagree with him, the stiffer he gets. That's why he has chosen to deny the OT god...He can play the martyr with other Christians as well.
