No I don't remember asking you this before. Didn't even know you spoke anything other than English. Do you know what languages I'm fluent in because I'm sure you would if we had actually discussed this.
Originally posted by @fmfI understand that pretending that we have discussed something that is inconvenient to answer at the moment is one of your coping mechanisms.

I accept that that is the view of a great many Christians. It has been discussed here many, many times. I can recall long discussions with KellyJay, josephw, Fetchmyjunk/dj2becker, checkbaiter, chaney3 and Grampy Bobby, among others, on this very topic.
Reading it in different languages doesn’t mean you read it with an open mind and an open heart.

Originally posted by @fmfThen you’re familiar with the Parable of the Sower? That must have come up in prior discussions.

Ok let's entertain your story, if you clearly remember us discussing it, on which thread was it?

Originally posted by @romans1009If it relates to "Agnostic atheism", then make your case. If you want to discuss the Parable of the Sower for some other reason, I suggest you start a thread about it or find someone who wants to discuss it with you.

Originally posted by @romans1009I have answered hundreds of questions. If you start a thread you may find people who are interested in discussing the Parable of the Sower with you. If I were interested, I would have engaged you on it. But ~ regardless of how amazing you find it ~ I'm not.
