Oh...you mean I was supposed to take you "ultra literally"?

It's more than "allow". Christians are commanded to "discuss".

You've been hanging out in fast food joints for too long. You no longer know how to enjoy a real meal. Of course, I realize I fed everyone big portions of the "meat" of God's word when nearly everyone here hasn't even attained to the "milk level yet.

I'm not too sure about that, Boxcar. To me...biblical Christianity is religion's kindergarten.

You see what I mean. You've been on a steady diet of junk food so long, you can't stomach real, healthy food.

But it's the world's religions that are down in a sandpit; for Christianity has so many distinctive qualities to it that makes it incomparable to any other and puts it in a league all by itself.

But enjoy feasting on your Big Mack.

Funny. You are one of the most humorless intolerant narrow minded judgmental fundies I have ever come across.

Except for you. You've read them all! You're my best fan.

By the way while on the subject of "judgmental", do you realize that you just judged me?

Boxcar
P.S. Don't forget to pull that oak tree from your eye before pointing to any perceived specks in mine.

Easy as pie.

It is not as though it is some sort of secret.

THE ARGUMENT FROM SUBJECTIVITY

subjectivity (n) – personal interpretation: interpretation based on personal opinions or feelings rather than on external facts or evidence.

The Argument from Subjectivity is impossible to refute because it presents no evidence, i.e., it is not an argument at all. “I feel God's presence, therefore, God exists.” A variation is the Argument from Fervency … “I do believe in God. I do believe in God! I do! I do! I do! Therefore God exists.” Flipping this on it's head we get the Argument from Emptiness, A.K.A. The Argument from Desperation … “My life is/was empty without God, therefore, God exists.”

Sound familiar?

This is preaching to the choir. The believer's experience is internal and therefore cannot be transmitted to others. The believer dismisses any objection by declaring the skeptic to somehow be "unworthy".

Sound familiar?

The entire argument, if one can call it that, depends on childhood indoctrination. A child of deeply religious parents who say grace before each meal, attend church several times a week and is taught to say his/her prayers before bedtime, is probably going to be distressed at any suggestion that his/her world view may not be true.

Sound familiar?

Yes, indeed...self-defeating statements come easier than pie to you skeptics.

Boxcar
P.S. How are coming along getting that tree removed from your eye?
