I confess
January 1, 2019 at 2:14 pm
Look, I have a little confession to make.
This may come as a shock to a lot of you, but I am not who you think I am.
I am neither a baptist, nor am I from the south.
As far as I know there is no Foxborough Tennessee, and I do not live there.
I am from the upper midwest.
I come from a Christian tradition, but I abhor and fear the religious right and feel there theology and political influence have caused great harm to the United States.
I don't agree with atheists, but I am somewhat impressed with disporpriationate lack of tribalism, their concern for the excluded and marginalized and abhorrence for totalitarianism and group think.
I guess I was just trying to have a little fun and satirize viewpoints and people I really don't agree with.
Hopefully we can get back on track!

Well yeah, Christians always spout such nonsense to truly whopping degrees whether they're honest or not that it's hard to notice when they're honest and when they're not.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Hopefully we can get back on track! So, you’re admitting to trolling us, then? Interesting.

You realize that trolling is a violation of Forum rules, correct?
