Overthinking Christianity

@fmf said
The theory of evolution stands up well based on the available evidence. It's the countless Christians who believe it is the way that their God figure arranged for life to develop on Earth who "bring God into it".

You are very selective on what you accept and reject.

I'll ask again, KellyJay. Don't run away. What exactly am I "denying"? What am I "ignoring"?

Evidence and rationale somethings you accept as good for knowledge, others you disregard as opinions or simply an accretion. You are not consistent, you make truth claims and deny others because they are opinions as if your claims are to be acceptable while others not.

My bad for using shorthand. @KellyJay. Other frequent posters here are also sometimes abbreviated, not only by me.

"Dive" and "Geester" and "The Gooster" are all commonly used expressions for @divegeester. @FMF is short enough not to need abbreviation. I am sometimes referred to simply as "moon" or "Mr. Bus." @suzianne is nearly always referred to as "Suzi", and she accept ...[text shortened]... alapeno Kitten", but if you refer to her as anything else, be prepared for adverse feedback.

FYI.

Why are you explaining this stuff to him?

Romans1009 / PB1022 / SavedByGrace / PBSandwich already knows full well that KJ refers to KellyJay.

And moonbus already knows that, hence my question above.

When I asked, I didn’t. But I realized on my own very shortly after asking.

Sure.

You can make whatever truth claims you want, KellyJay. No one is "denying" you the opportunity to do that. And I'm not "ignoring" anything. You know exactly what my stance on a creator entity is. I have been completely consistent.

Yes I am sure in your opinion that is true.

You can't even bring yourself to say what I am supposedly "denying". You can't even bring yourself to say what I am supposedly "ignoring".

Sorry, guys, I was slow on the uptake on that one. I looked at the date he joined and thought he genuinely might not know, but it has become clear he is a recidivist here. He's been banned (again) already.

I tell you, you blow it off and act like I said nothing.

Why do you ask?

Blow what off, KellyJay? I spent 25+ years as a Christian and a further 5 years reflecting deeply on the fact my faith was slipping away... and then another 15-20 years reflecting on my former faith, including about 10 years of listening to you trotting out your beliefs. How on Earth is this "blowing off" the substance of your Christian/theist opinions?

How did you manage to be so full of yourself for so many decades without exploding?

One thing you could do is stop telling me about you, and talking about me and
just focus on the topics.
