Why would I care - or even be "scared" - if you - of all people - thought I was a fraud?

You have spent many years on these forums, other people also read the stuff you write.

Yes, I know I have, but why do you think I would care if you thought I was a liar or a fraud?

You might have a fan club on here, some people occasionally like your posts. Maybe you care what other people think about you. Or maybe it's just the ego.

You honestly think I am worried about people here thinking that I wasn't a Christian at an earlier time in my life?

Well you have made the claim that you were. If they think you weren't they would also think you are a liar. Would you care if people thought you were a liar?

If anyone thought I was lying about being a Christian in the past? No it wouldn't bother me.

Fetchmyjunk, does the way you are acquitting yourself on this thread have anything to do, in your mind, with what you believe Jesus did for you on the cross?

If people thought you were lying about being a Christian, they might think you have lied about other things as well. Would it bother you if people thought you were a lier, period?

I think I should call you out if I think you are being dishonest, you could easily dispel those doubts by answering a few simple questions that you have been avoiding/dodging for months. But you have chosen not to.

No. I stand by everything I've ever posted, including all the things I have revealed about my current beliefs and my beliefs in the past, along with my reactions to what other people say they believe. I take full responsibility for everything I've ever said. If I ever seem to contradict myself, and anyone calls me on it, I will explain, concede that my view has changed, and apologize if necessary.

Would I be bothered if people thought I was a liar? No. I think I would find it funny, in the circumstances. Several people have already said they think I am lying about being a Christian in the past. It doesn't bother me at all. You're barking up the wrong tree with this dreary line of questioning, Fetchmyjunk.

This is not an answer to the question your post was a 'reply' to. Which was this: does the way you are acquitting yourself on this thread have anything to do, in your mind, with what you believe Jesus did for you on the cross?

What "other things"?

I think the way I am acquitting myself may have more to do with your rejection of what I believe Jesus did for us on the cross, and your refusal to tell me exactly why you no longer believe it to be true.
