The Lie of the True Christian™

[Kitan Etos]

I have found if a misspelling derails a topic then generally speaking, the person who points out the misspelling is looking for an easy out.

I merely mentioned the misspelling because I was providing an observable fact.

Asking a theist to observe facts is akin to asking their god to love - it's not possible.

[Optimistic Mysanthrope]

Don't be mean! Theists are more than willing to observe facts

That they will then spend the next couple of decades trying to distort it in order to make it fit in with the [insert holy book of choice here] account is entirely beside the point

[Polaris]

A high level of inner peace when worshiping and praying. Just a regular amount of peace (same as I had before being a Christian) 95% of the time when not in a worship mode. That extra 5% is the best though since I experience God's love when I least expect it.

Ex-Christians are a very real threat to believers. They are living proof that anyone can lose his/her faith. That includes people like Drich

Wrong, they are only a threat to their eternal lives. The parable of the sower tells us who is vulnerable to this situation. Drich and the other Christians here are growing stronger daily.

Right! The numerous inconsistencies, contradictions and illogical theological theist premises that are pointed out to them and force them to come up with convoluted excuses and wishful thinking strengthens their faith.
Our mocking laughter at your pitiful defenses of a god you have no evidence for must be very strengthening for you.

This is so sad.

Again, you don't seem to grasp the no true scotsmen fallacy.

Again, desperate attempts to justify bullshit by quoting an ancient comic book.

Here is the fallacy laid out for you in a way that even you may be able to comprehend:

You are not a true xtian. Like it or not, know it or not, believe it or not, want it or not, care or not -- you are NOT a true xtian according to some other xtians.

I don't care who you are, what you do, what you believe, how jeezuzed-out you are, if you eat Bibles for breakfast and fart scripture -- you still are not a true xtian according to some other xtians -- there is no possible way around that.

There is no method of fact checking this -- other xtians who will label you a false xtian will use the same ancient comic book to prove it.

It can't be tested -- it's just one bullshit opinion against another bullshit opinion.

Case closed.

[Drich]

Ripped him a new one, Cinnie. Drippy must look like a swiss cheese by now.

Oh, yes cinny is got me on my heels, where do I go from here? Oh, no what will I do?

So... will these 'other christians' be conducting my final judgement or will Christ? If these 'other christians' have no say in my final judgement what do i care what they think about what I say or do?

Actually it can. I provided you with a test. The results may vary, but that does not matter. Only the fact that there is a distinction and there are conditions that have to be met.

Case closed.

[Angrboda]

If your test is A/S/K, then I ask for a test of your test, being a way to verify that your test works properly and reliably.


As I recently told a creationist I spoke with at a table discussion who quoted the bible, as a Hindu, I can play the same game. As a Hindu, I have the Vedas, sruti and smriti. If all you've got is a book, I don't care what you have to say. If all you've got is a book, you're just talking out of your ass.
