You said I didn't understand. I understand what it is that you want me to understand.
"I was the REAL McCoy boy!! And now I really know better. "
Okay. I'll tell you what. I don't understand. Okay?
There. Have it your way.

Originally posted by sonshipPerhaps you should engage sumydid about being a True Christian, a REAL McCoy Christian, a bona fide Christian or a victorious believer Christian. That's what he seems to want to get into: it would be more interesting to see a couple of Christians like you and him getting into a one-up-manship contest about being bona fide Christians, than you simply trying to superimpose your "certainty" onto me, someone who doesn't believe anymore. 🙂

Originally posted by RJHindsI have many Muslim friends, colleagues and clients, and I respect their right to profess their faith, as I do your right to profess yours, if that is what you mean.
Yes, I think we should all know by now that you are a theists and Muslim sympathiser.

Originally posted by RJHindsNot at all. This country [edit: Indonesia] has a long tradition of Muslims, Christians, Hindus and Buddhists living alongside each other and, for the most part, in peace. This multi-faith nature of society is enshrined in the 1945 constitution too. There are tens of millions of "professing Christians" living here. If you feel that having Muslim friends, colleagues and clients is somehow incompatible with being a Christian then all I can say is that I have never seen any evidence of this over the past 20 years.
I suppose it would be difficult to be a professing Christian and continue to have many Muslim friends, colleagues and clients.

Originally posted by sumydidI am always amused when someone who has presented himself or herself to me as a gung-ho Christian admits, "Well, no, I don't attend church services. I don't need to tithe, I don't think, and so I don't do that. And I certainly don't listen to the clowns on Christian broadcasting."
Someone pretended earlier in a post to think that all it takes to be Christian is go to church every Sunday...
May I get personal and ask which of the following you do?
* Pray.
* Cast out demons.
* Lay hands on the sick.
* Anoint with oil.
* Donate money or time to missionary work in foreign countries.
* Speak in tongues.
* Interpret tongues.
* Knock on doors in the neighborhood to witness Christ.
* Stand on a street corner and witness through a megaphone.
* Protest with signs and banners at colleges where Old Earthism and the theory of evolution are being taught.
* Handle poisonous snakes.
* Avoid watching anything in magazines or television or on the Net that constitutes erotica, and petition the makers of such to cease from doing this.
* Push for open prayer in public schools.
* Completely shun friends and family members who are not believers.
* Ask the Lord to speak to me the names of the best persons to fill public office, so that I may write down the names He gives me on my voting ballot rather than checking off a printed name that has been chosen by a major party through a secular process.

Originally posted by sumydidFunny how you squirmed in your chair and failed to answer any of the questions posed to you, then continued to repeat your original claim as if you had heard nothing.
I got what I should have expected. A torrent of answers posed as questions.
Funny how most skeptics squirm in their chairs and spout off with questions and thinly veiled hostility, when asked a simple yes or no question.
At least I can say I never was a dishonest Christian like you are.

The above is a little incoherent, but... Thank you for this reminder of the US's McCarthy era. This is a moment for the younger crowd to take in.

Originally posted by SuzianneIt's SO good to know you are well above all that. I on the other hand, have never been a christian, having seen the hypocrisy of it VERY early on and as you of course know, now never take ANY human's word for anything to do with spirituality or supernatural affairs. At least I am not hypocritical.
Aaaaaaaannd so far it's going pretty much as expected.
Do carry on, everyone, I'm not quite done with my popcorn yet.
