Just as many Quakers preached against an organized hierarchy within a church, many argued against an organized hierarchy propped up by government as we were often persecuted by governments in the past.

Quakers are cool. Other evangelical denominations? I don't trust them.

last, I have already shown where you are dishonest.

scientifically speaking, something more is more valid than nothing more. Then we talk about what your guess is about what the something more is. Just telling everybody they are wrong or avoiding actually making a claim is actually lame.

thats where these conversations start for people not based on faith. And if you not interested in that, its ok. But when railing on theist say you use faith and not the scientific method also.

basing how we have to answer on "we need to stop religion first." is what exactly? forget that, you won't answer with anything but nonsense any way. If you answer at all That is.

Niether of those represent a Religion sostop being a PIA about it. The expression of belief in God does NOT establish a religion.

I'm not sure. Mystic might actually see Jesus as a man like himself, enabled to receive True Revelations where others get only garbled messages from God.

In America, God is God, whatever anyone considers God to be, Allah, Krishna, whatever. What do you not get about that. It does not say "In the Christian God we Trust," so stop being a PIA about it.

You do get some things about my views correct along with a bunch of inferred Arq-nonsense interpretations. Of course, Jesus was a man or His achievements would be meaningless for us. His HUMAN consciousness achieved perfect resonance with God's agape love consciousness which makes it IDENTICAL with God. When Jesus died as a physical human, He was reborn as a Spirit (Holy Spirit) like God. Our goal is to do the same however imperfectly with His guidance as the Comforter sent in His name. All the Trinity nonsense is human jargon pretending to knowledge.

Its why he is so dangerous to people around him. That's why I have zero respect for him.

He knows exactly what we are saying.
He understand just how valid what we say is.
And he actively will suppress what we say because he sees how valid it is.

That is just is not the best we can do. His form of atheism will lead to much needles sufferings because it has to suppress some facts. Any atheism (indeed any statement of belief about god) that has to suppress or avoid talking about all reasonable claims to appear equal to other claims is based on dishonesty and will lead to needless suffering.
