Jesus Lied . For The Bible Tells Me So .

Oh dear. You are merely highlighting an example of your ability to lie.

@Ghost-of-a-Duke
Oh no, you're not going to threaten to take out a law suit against me, are you?

It was a clear example of you having a paranoid and delusional episode.

I think your fixation and Very Rusty's fixation on a prank you didn't like is plain daft. I don't think either of you are being delusional about it though.

I doubt that. Dive left almost immediately (due to the flack he received in that thread). A bit sad if he immediately copied the thread to you.

Actually it was the moment I saw you for what you were. It was the moment the mask slipped and I glimpsed the real you, petty and weak. It was the moment I caught you in a lie. There was no paranoia or delusion on my part.

It was very disappointing.

Edit: Genuinely so.

Why are you bringing up something from so long ago? you cried.

Hypocrite.

You seem a little rattled, chatting away here to yourself.

@ghost-of-a-duke said
Was it me saying you failed to follow nuances of conversation of when you called your own sidekick deluded?

I have no idea about his mind set or motivations. I never met the fellow.

And yet you chose to immediately assume he was lying.

This doesn’t fit with your assertion elsewhere that your being inclined to trust people makes you a happier person.

It seems to me that your principles on matter such as this are not well established and flip-flop whenever it suits you.

I am following the text. He told his disciples he wasn't going but then went anyway in secret. - In any other context that would read as a lie.

Again, this is a passage well studied as an example of Jesus telling a falsehood (probably for good reasons, to keep his followers safe).

@divegeester said
You seem quite happy to abandon your principle of giving someone the benefit of the doubt, of assuming they are telling the truth, of trusting them (because it gives you happiness), when it suits you. And based on a “text” (the bible) which you yourself have attacked many many times as being unreliable.

Interesting.
