Wait... I'm sorry... If Christians don't believe the Bible is the word of their god, where do they get their beliefs?

They make them up.

You have two kinds of Christians: those who invent their own fantasies and live by them, and those who adopt officially-sanctioned fantasies and live by them.

Funny, because not matter one's religious status is or isn't, there's only one kind of asshole.

There's the qualifier for that strawman I was looking for... "But some do."

So I suppose that makes it alright to say Christians when you really mean "some Christians"...

Thanks for playing... Undecided

But I wasn't saying it seriously. I was taking the POV of a Christian, believing in the Bible. You're quite frustrating, you know. You always seem to beat around the bush. I just want you to respond to my questions.

It's all a moot point, anyway, as the whole experiment apparently failed. Jesus was supposed to return and claim his followers over 1900 years ago, but he never showed.

Matt 16:28- There be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the Son of Man coming in his kingdom.

No, you were strawmanning the position of a Christian.
Which question btw? I think I counted 3 loaded questions/strawmen...

I've long since given up judging your fucking fairy tales objectively, Tex. You think your shit is different because it is yours. It isn't. Its just shit.
