In these forums it is virtually impossible to retrieve a post that was made more than 3 months ago,
I don't know that to be true unless it is a recent policy.
And if it is true then it is better not to make charges which you cannot substantiate.
so don't actually think it is reasonable to put the burden on the person recalling something you have said. (Which incidentally, I remember you posting myself).
Ghost of a Duke advocated eating of children.
But don't ask me to produce evidence because its long gone.
See? Its better not to make the wild accusation.
So I ask again, do you have no memory of saying that? Surely if you said it at the time you still hold the same view? Or are your statements transitory and irrelevant?
The entire veering off of this discussion into what you and FMF want me to talk about is irrelevant I think. FMF hates to be ignored when someone doesn't show curiosity to pick his brain and learn what else he thinks. When ignored he may lash out trying to compel a person to talk. Accusations helps him to do this.
The example is right here in this thread. I don't need to check archives.

@sonship saidLife would be simpler if you were able to recall things you have said previously and owned them. (Like a regular person).

I wrote above
And if Christ is fictional we should find out what genius invented Christ and
pay attention to that personality.
Related to the OP and judging others I submit the account of woman about to be stoned in John 8.
What a story. They came to Jesus with a woman caught in the act of adultery. They insisted that like Moses had instructed she should be stoned. Jesus quite composed during the whole mob affair said whoever was without sin should thrown the first stone.
Beginning with the older ones they began to consider their own lives. The old ones quietly left first. The younger more impetuous ones began to slink away afterwards. Eventually ALL were convicted and left. No one thought of themselves as qualified to initiate the stoning of the woman.
Jesus, quite confident about the situation was stooping down writing something in the sand. He asked the woman standing alone if anyone was left to condemn her. To her probable amazement no one was left to condemn.
"Neither do I condemn you. Go and from now on sin no more."
Did this really happen?
Did Jesus really do this?
If not WHO made up this story? John 8:1-10.

I will tell you what I will own in the past and now too.
I own the awesome prospect that our life and words may effect the eternal destiny of others. Tis awesome all around.
Now if you have no more specific evidence vindicating the tone, intention, of what FMF charges me with, I have no more comment.
Besides, after this you all may again bring up space aliens in chains.
And we'll have to go through the same thing for the umpteenth time.

@sonship saidYes, you've stopped mid-sentence, on a comma no less, and left out the essence of what my point was.
Well let's get your exact words.
" While I, indeed, think this issue of "conscience" [and "consciousness"] is as good a piece of evidence of the existence of a creator being as theists have got,
I know you wrote more.

Isn't John 8:1-10 quite a story of how the power of conscience enlightened a mob of angry people?
This story matches the sense I had when surrendered my life to Jesus Christ, weighed down with my sins. A weight rolled off of me which I had grown accustomed to living with. That is the stains on my conscience from iniquities, sins, wrong doings, and errors.
All the while I was full of criticism for the other guy. But Christ was so willing to receive me and forgive me. it was sweet. It remains continually so sweet. What joy accompanies being forgiven by God!
As Peter wrote we rejoice with "joy unspeakable and full of glory" though we do not yet SEE Him.

@sonship saidYou claimed that I may have caused "hundreds" of RHP members on this forum to face being burned alive for eternity as a result of being exposed to my non-Christian perspectives.
I would say this. When FMF makes an accusation usually it to a spin a narrative that he wishes to convey. Exaggeration is a form of lying.

@fmf saidTypos and grammatical errors I do make sometimes.
Yes, you've stopped mid-sentence, on a comma no less, and left out the essence of what my point was.
I'll try to not make so many.

Don't be so silly. Virtually anybody and everbody can imagine it.
I don't think it is silly.
Many many myths have been spun for thousands of years.
No one's life has so divided history into two major portions as Jesus of Nazareth. BC and AD (or CE) seem to mean -
"Since this Person lived the world will never be the same."
Some of us recognize this was God incarnate.
