Art 4 God

You, and the obvious fact that you started this thread with a predisposed bias against the art you found on the internet to which you set the stage for to spew out your vitriol against Christians and Christianity.

You said;

"I find this art emotionally shallow, psychologically contrived and highly commercialised to appeal to a segment of the lower-brained sheeple who populate mainstream American Christianity."

Can't get more disingenuous than that.

How can he be BOTH "obvious" and candid about what he believes regarding the topic of his thread AND "disingenuous" about it?

If you don't see yourself as one of "the lower-brained sheeple who populate mainstream American Christianity", as he puts it, why does it bother you? You yourself have talked about groups of people many times in similar vitriolic terms.

In the same way you are.

It's obviously disingenuous to start a thread about a topic to which one knows he will use to vilify others, just as divegeester did.

It's one thing to voice ones opinion with regards to the value and merit of the object of discussion, and quite another to denigrate and insult your opponent simply because they hold another point of view.

And if it's not obvious to you that that is exactly what happened in this thread, then you're obviously being disingenuous too.

It doesn't bother me.

And if you think when divegeester said "the lower-brained sheeple who populate mainstream American Christianity", and that it wasn't directed at the Christians posting in this forum as an insult, then you're being disingenuous too.

I suppose I have. But was I being disingenuous?

You need to look up “disingenuous” in a dictionary because it doesn’t mean what you seem to think it means.

My bias against the art in the OP is just my opinion of it, same as you have an opinion of it. My comment which you have quoted is absolutely genuine and honest. There is nothing “disingenuous” about it.

@secondson saidSeems to me you start threads just to invent new ways and means to hurl invectives.

Are you going to call me an a$$hole again Joseph?

There is nothing disingenuous about that list of posters, I’m not claiming them to be “enemies”, it’s just a list of people I disagree with.

What is absolutely “disingenuous” in this thread is you pretending like this are so much that you are going to “buy one or two pieces”.

Have you bought the “one or two pieces” yet?

That comment by you was disingenuous wasn’t it? Tell me that it’s absolutely true, before Christ, and I will believe you.

The way you treat others, you might want to think this statement over again.

I’m completely happy with it, thanks.

He's right; I say: "Amen to that! 🙂 "

That's the problem son.

Although SecondSon frequently enjoys berating me for challenging other posters here he himself often abuses me and has several times use very harsh name calling including calling me an a$$hole because he doesn’t like me.

Let me get this straight, you are saying “amen” to him saying that?

Why are you calling me “son”...Are you using the term to somehow elevate the perception of your seniority over me?
