You really should study the whole Bible.

Psychologically speaking, people can think they are ducks and all other nonsense;
the reality is, did you know Him?

Psychologically speaking, people can think that a God figure is real and that they can "know" him. I did. You do

Now you may not grasp that you don't have to be disagreeable to disagree with
someone every time someone doesn't affirm your beliefs. There is nothing personal
about this with him from me. Disagreements with you seem to have many names-
callings involved with almost all you talk to; I'm simply staying on point, nothing
more.

If he claimed he was once an eagle, would you believe him, or because you
know what an eagle is, know that isn't possible?

What does this analogy mean? You think being a Christian is like being a non-human, like an eagle?

Playing the victim card is not an answer to the question.

Claiming to be something you were not, does not make you something you were not.

What in the world are you talking about?

But I am not claiming I was something I was not. Haven't you been reading my posts?

I am talking about your evasiveness.

Yes, psychology speaking, you knew a god, and later you now deny that it was real
because you no longer believe in that god. So for you, it was like the Easter bunny
or Santa Claus, but in reality, not so much. Do you disagree with me?

I've been consistent; what is it you think I'm being evasive about?

for you God was like the Easter bunny or Santa Claus

No, He was not. Speak for yourself, KellyJay.

You are claiming that I was never a Christian, that my faith was never real to me, you are claiming that it was just me "going through the motions", that it was "merely a set of rules", that it was only a "fuzzy feeling", that it was only about "sitting on a pew in church", that God was like an "Easter bunny" to me, that my faith did not impact my life, and lest we forget, it's only a few weeks ago that you were accusing me of lying about my Christian past, etc, etc.

And you have studiously ~ and disingenuously ~ ignored or pretended not to have read anything I have said in my efforts to describe how profound my faith was.

You have used every little dishonest strawman you can think of.

Of course, I disagree with you.

You are being very strange, KellyJay. Do you perceive my loss of faith as some kind of threat to you?
