This is your chance to score a big point for yourself. Explain how we have got it wrong and if it makes sense, we will accept that. Just tossing out accusations of lying isn't going to do it. In fact it just does you (and your brand of religion) no credit if you can't or won't correct us with a convincing explanation. Off you go.

The one making the assertion is nate. I'd love to see him (or you're welcome to) provide some quotes showing that I've actually said what he claimed I said. But you won't find them.

You are the one making the assertion that there are non-Christians who claim to be Christians. If that is NOT your OP, tell us what it really is. I'm pretty sure you won't because you can't.

True, you didn't say those exact words. But it's what clearly comes across in many of your posts. Again, as I mentioned in another thread, exchange "right speech" for "Thou shalt not lie".

Just ONE of the only true Christian groups, right? Why don't you tell us who you are talking about then. You didn't take me up on that offer of a DM if it's the mods you are worried about.

That's because I don't trust you for a second.

But the specifics are irrelevant. I know that it's a typical thing here to get bogged down in the weeds and people would rather hijack the thread off course and not actually answer the OP...but again.....who or what group it is really is not relevant.

He just wants the whole thread to go away because he knows he blew it. People now see him for what he is.

Maybe because they were raised in a culture which DRILLED into their heads that they were Christians?

Most people believe in God. And, on a similar note, most people are raised to believe in the biblical god as being the true God. They are also told that Jesus was his son.

But when they get a little older, suddenly they are being told some very disturbing things about God and Jesus: Christian dogma.

QUESTION: What other options do they have at that point? What would you like for them to do if they can't accept the disturbing dogma?
