I don't believe you. Nothing I said in the post you were replying to was hardly any different from stuff I've said to you in numerous posts over the last few months. It's just the same stuff. Deliberately so. I wanted to see what you'd say. Now, you say you "can totally relate"? And yet throughout 2016 you just ignored it, pretended I hadn't said anything... and ...[text shortened]... out with "I can totally relate and empathize with you". You strike me as being totally bogus. 😉

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkI've been telling you about it all along, thread by thread, sometimes day by day, and you have simply blanked it out and pretended that you're not doing so. And now you ask me this? Like I said, you are like an answer machine that simply doesn't record the messages that anyone leaves.
Which two or three questions that you have fully answered have I repeated?

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkWhere did I say that I believed that the Bible was divinely inspired "simply because all other people do and for no other reason"? That is a completely dishonest characterization of what I said. To arrive at a paraphrasing like this you basically have to deliberately ignore almost everything I said.
FMF: "I used to believe - like all Christians do - that the Bible was divinely inspired." Believing something simply because all other people do and for no other reason is just 'following the crowd'.
Originally posted by FMFBy 'all the other people' in obviously mean 'the other people that had the same faith as you had'. If you didn't find it compelling because they found it compelling what was the real reason then?
