It's one fucking sentence. Have someone read it to you.

You're acting like a real nut job.

And to re-enforce what I said previously. I make no claims of being perfect, or following perfectly. I'm sure that I am wrong on things, I fail to do what I should often, as well as want things and give into desires which are not of God. If this is what you are talking about, then I am guilty.
What I understand, as a cafeteria Christian is different though; not all Christians that I see pick and choose what they want or have that kind of view. It's not all about me, and I'm not always right. You deny being a cafeteria christian. And you'll dance all night to avoid facing the facts.
To the best of my knowledge yes... I don’t believe that this is true. If it is, then I want to address and correct the issue.
You are making very broad and vague generalizations. I don’t think your accusation of dancing around the facts have much substance, if you don’t offer some type of facts or at minimum a falsifiable claim. At best you have a feeling and a seemingly poorly defined one at that.
I think you just digging a deeper hole, if you don’t address what others say, and keep doubling down on, with little of anything of substance.

It's not vague, it's quite succinct. You're inability to reply is just the entertaining part.

You know exactly what you're doing with dodging our question and trying to turn it around on us saying we are not "reading the OP correctly." Extremely immature of you.
Anyway, clearly you are not interested in discussion. I would suggest RR and Neo not waste their time.

The first one to flee.
The problem here is whether or not the believers will lie or face the truth.
If they answer "yes", then we know they're lying. If they answer "no", then they admit they're cafeteria christians.
The really funny part is that this was given to me by a Jesuit. Nothing like 'em for nasty questions.
Oh, and the waffling and personal attacks we've seen here were predicted by the good priest back in 1973.

I think it's funny that some atheists here think they know what the bible says, argue with some theist who doesn't know what the bible says, then the atheist gets to argue from both ends such as erroneous paradox's (and this thread)
My girlfriend thinks I'm a stalker. Well...she's not my girlfriend "yet".
I discovered a new vitamin that fights cancer. I call it ...B9
I also invented a diet pill. It works great but had to quit taking it because of the side effects. Turns out my penis is larger and my hair grew back. And whoa! If you think my hair is nice!
When does size truly matter? When it's TOO big!
I'm currently working on a new pill I call "Destenze". However...now my shoes don't fit.
