Atheist Bible Study 1: Genesis

[Angrboda]

Pride or damage to pride is why 'others' come and go. Only someone without personal pride can stand alone, in a chat full of people with nothing but ill will towards him his intelligence his personal attributes his family and his God. To be insulted and slammed day in day out no matter how much work effort and research is put in to have everything shit on all the time and never once for 6 to 20 hours a week if not more not receive anything reward or even a good word after what 5 or 6 years?? No there is no personal pride here. Do a role call and see how many of those who you all in the last 6 months or so have been blasting are still here. now ask yourself why am I if I NEVER received anything but contempt and vitriol. 

You are greeted with nothing but derision and contempt because you are an egotistical moron who thinks things that are manifestly not true, not just occasionally, but frequently, and in spades. The reason you are still here I can only speculate stems from the same human flaws which infect you and every other person here, it's just in you they are greatly exaggerated, and take on the characteristic of a sickness.

Pride, n.

I. The quality of being proud.
1.
a. A high, esp. an excessively high, opinion of one's own worth or importance which gives rise to a feeling or attitude of superiority over others; inordinate self-esteem.

You do indeed suffer from pride, you believe that God himself informs your opinions on matters both pertaining to Christianity and those not. That is an extreme example of pride, and you are thoroughly guilty. I would call it a result of ego rather than pride, but regardless, your "teaching" stems from a source that Jesus' teaching did not.

I am here not because of my pride but the pride God has bestowed on me. It is not my pride you see but the Holy Spirit in me. I take tremendous pride in being supported by the direct hand of God not only in my business but in my efforts here to see him every day to have him give me the answers and knowledge I have been given access to. no where I use it or not is sometimes on me, but the support is there. and further more I will be here so long as God supports me. because I have personally ot desire to stand against the tide. I do it because I have been empowered to do so, and nothing you can say or do will change that. Only god shifting me into another role can do this. I will stand this post till I am relieved. 

You believe that, but do not know it. That you consider your belief in the source of your opinions and such is what drives you to abuse a fellow brethren, and post ridiculous shit like this. Remember that it comes like a thief in the night, and be humble, lest you be not chosen. You are prideful, Drich, and your last post is dripping with it. I'm sure people like Jim Jones and David Koresh also thought they were speaking on the basis of divinely provided wisdom, you simply place yourself in the company of madmen and loons by placing yourself on that pedestal

Yet in spite of all this, I don't fault you because I know you are not particularly bright or well educated, and that your errors and all your Dunning-Kruger inspired behaviors are unintentional. That being said, I do not forgive you of the sin you gleefully embrace such as your pride and your egotistical arrogance. Spare the rod and spoil the child. You are indeed a very badly behaved child. And I will continue to correct you when you are wrong, despite the fact that your pride prevents you from seeing the truth.

And you didn't answer my question. What 'challenge' of yours have I failed to answer and why do you consider that significant?
