Why do you need an ignore feature??? Is your faith so fragile that it cannot withstand reasoned discourse on what you claim to believe??? Why are you here??? Why bother???
Thank God Jesus Christ did not take the liberty of using the ignore button when he was called belzeebub. Father put them on the ignore list for they know not what they do.

It is useful to block out people who fit this description:
"a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion, often for their own amusement."
They are the people who parrot "you didn't answer the question" 35 times when everyone knew the questions had been answered. They are the ones who tell others that their walk with God is 'garbage', or they suggest they do not have faith in Christ, or that their faith is fragile, etc personal attacks. I do not come here to play their games. Such people are simply looking for someone to react to their tactics so they can get the thread closed.
No thanks
Jesus said this (below), and it wasn't because his faith was fragile:
"Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."

God\Jesus also said about dogs and pigs:
Proverbs 26:11
As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly.
2 Peter 2:21-22
"It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have
known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed returns to her wallowing in the mud"
Revelation 22:15
“Blessed are those who wash their robes, that they may have the right to the tree of life and may go through the gates into the city.
Outside are the dogs, those who practice magic arts, the sexually immoral, the murderers, the
idolaters and everyone who loves and practices falsehood."

This from the poster who admits it amuses him to feign misunderstanding someone just to see how long he can keep them explaining themselves.
And you supposedly have a problem with inflammatory comments, but then you insinuate that the people you have on ignore are dogs and pigs.
ETA: For the animal lovers among us, I know there's nothing wrong with dogs or pigs, of course. But some bible-quoters obviously mean it as an insult.

That is a typical definition for a troll, Finn. We all recognize that trolls should be avoided.

These are your own interpretations and reactions to things that challenge your understanding of God and your specific faith. None of that is trolling, it is challenging your assumptions and trying to get you to articulate the specifics of your beliefs more clearly so they can be addressed. You seek to hide behind dogmatic platitudes and assertions without explanation. That is fine, but it is not trolling to ask you for explanations and clarifications when you do so.

Ok, mr righteous. What is the way of righteousness and how do you walk in it. I get it you don't know other than to from a few bible verses out there as if that answers the question.
