Conversation with Knight about losing faith

[ok doser]

Well done, nothing. sod can't stand zoo, and can't stand me, and anything he can do to suck up to you, he will. You're his bread and butter.

I'm very familiar with the thread. Read zoo's OP. He said his decision had a lot to do with TOL, although he took full responsibility for his decision.

You're totally missing the point, because of sod's deflection.

TOL HAD AN IMPACT on zoo's decision.

well, let's take a look at what he said later on the thread:

I was wrong to infer that my decision really had to do with anyone else but myself. I mean, we try to understand, try to interpret the things around us, things, discussions, interactions, people effect us, influence us, we influence one another. My conversations, interactions, observations, whatnot at TOL effect me. But ultimately this is my own, and I don't mean to say otherwise.

What do you care about zoo? Nothing. Not a thing. You're a disgraceful witness, don't pretend otherwise.

Yours is the worst Christian witness I've seen on this site, and you're coddled and protected by Knight.

 

[Ask Mr. Religion]

Meaning I was never really a Christian, when I was a Catholic? What a novel idea, I've never heard that one before. :chuckle: I've been damned to hell many times because I wasn't the right kind of Christian.

Why does "Catholic" automatically assume Christian? Or "Protestant" for that matter. It is the details that matter.

What, then, is "other" meaning to you?

Why then the thread in question? Have you not lamented you have lost your faith? What I am I missing?

If you will be more forthright about exactly what you believe perhaps something fruitful will come from the discussion.

[annabenedetti]

can you answer your own question?

Didn't I already answer you?

we were there first

With all due respect to you, my belief (or lack of) wasn't meant to be the purpose of this thread, AMR.

 

[ok doser]

i'd like to see him turn from the foolish path he's chosen, but as he is?

I have nothing but scorn for someone who's turned their back on the faith

You're a disgraceful witness, don't pretend otherwise.

that's just your silly emotions talking

that's it anna, let it all out :baby:

You're a psychopath. Your empty witness is meaningless.

 

[ok doser]

You're a psychopath.

 

[annabenedetti]

Yeah, well, there it is. 40-plus posts in this thread, and that's his best offering.

What a "Christian" witness.

no, my best offering was and always has been - quit whining and take responsibility for your own actions and beliefs








oh yeah - and stop being such a drama queen

 

[Ask Mr. Religion]

So the unstated purpose of the thread is to hold others up to ridicule for not meeting your standards? :idunno:

What exactly motivated the thread other than to call out another?

The best witnesses I've heard have come in a couple of sentences. :booh:

I've got 15 minutes before I have to leave for an appt.

No, you're wrong again. First you inserted (for me) "Knight" into your quote of my OP, totally changing the intent of my sentence, so I had to correct that.

Now, you've stated (for me) my "unstated purpose." That's convenient for you, isn't it? But again, you're incorrect.

If you'd like to address the OP, feel free to do so. That's my motivation.

 

[serpentdove]

Of course it's sad but this is a decision you have made (2 Pe 3:9).

 

[chrysostom]

Also, for those who fixate on my "Other" designation: this thread isn't about what I believe, it's about what you believe.

I believe you
and
only you will determine your salvation
because
of what Jesus did for us

 

[serpentdove]

Would it bother you if your actions or words were a factor in someone losing his faith?

The choice to live or die is yours alone (Ge 2:17).

AMR

When someone is raised to believe that the heart of Christianity is love and forgiveness, kindness and generosity, or thereabouts, and then they come here to find that the most religious Christian zealots here are in fact a sickening and grotesque core of egocentric, self-righteous, idolatrous, authoritarians, who puff themselves up at the expense of anyone who dares to deny their pretense of divine authority. It's quite disconcerting, I'm sure. And it would be only natural for such a person to react by asking what the heck is going on here!?!?

Which is what I think this thread is really doing.

I am not personally in that position, as I have long ago faced the ugly reality of religious Christian behavior, and made a kind of general peace with it (though I will likely never join any organized Christian religious group, as long as I live).

You can try to apologize for it if you want, I don't care, because I know better. But your childish attempt at 'turning the table' on anna wasn't going to sail by me without comment.

After reading this thread, I just don't get all the hoopla. You'd think some people were made to have to stay here, being bound by chains and locked behind the doors. If you don't like it.... buh bye now. :wave:
