You arw certainly not worth the effort to repost them plus I doubt yoy would even admit that they are bashing. Ill keep my eyes open and reply to your next bash.
And he knows that it's rarely worth the effort to go back and search for quotations from old posts. He relies on that.
In other words, two wrongs make a right. Or, the ends justify the means. Or, when they go low, I go...low, too. Great morality system!
Nope. Just one wrong...called out.
I noted this past circumstance: https://www.city-data.com/forum/63106255-post111.html
Everyone thought what he did was low...nobody thought what I did was low, they thought it was right & appropriate.
But my specific & direct description of what you are doing is now proscribed.
views expressed in your posts (i.e. calling it "egocentric" "amusing" "beyond reasonable" "beyond humble") indicate and demonstrate that you are ignorant of (lacking knowledge and awareness) what it means for humankind to be "made in God's image"
Interesting that now you CAN speak for humankind. Amusing too. Tell you this...
I've known plenty enough people who are egocentric just as I describe. Thinking the world revolves around them, and since the great majority of the people I know are religious, or people I know about, there is a great deal of truth about what I explain in this regard. Not all people. Not you perhaps, but who doesn't see how so many people are inclined toward self-centeredness? Going all the way back in history to present day.
Sure seems to me the notion that man was made in God's image is indicative of that sort of self-centeredness, but again that's just one of many examples that suggest we humans are inclined that way. All too many, and yes. That is my opinion. No need to waste anyone's time point that out again.

Perhaps, instead of summarily dismissing how several of us critique your postings, you ought to actually consider what others are saying. At least a moral person would.
I guess that means that your problem with atheists is, indeed, your problem.
The problem has been addressed many times by many of us and yet again in another thread by me just moments ago, but unfortunately many of those clarifications are either ignored, misunderstood, purposely misrepresented or not read at all, so it sometimes gets a little exhausting to keep swatting at these comments that are forever off the mark and as such all the more annoying over time. So...

You have to remember that she will even take a religion that denies a creator god and twist it around to make it also a path to god. It sorta reminds me of OCD.

What choice do we have but to ignore them?
Ignoring the behavior seems counterproductive to searching for truth.
so you have a problem with it. that makes it your problem.
the existence of the Creator is not a problem for the other billions and billions of people.
the thread topic is "God's original plan for humankind". and more recently in the thread was being discussed the related "made in God's image."
No one has a problem while people "stay in their lane" as Phet often tries to explain. It's when people veer from their lane with their religious beliefs so as to "encroach" on others who don't share their beliefs, that we ALL have a problem. Needless to say, the belief in a god is what has too many people encroaching on others in all too many negative ways, but not all religious people. Just too many.
Can you make these sorts of important distinctions? Everyone really should.
atheism is not a problem any more than an empty room is a problem. it's simply empty. nothing there. atheism = lack of belief in deity. it's very definition is a lack. a void. i simply recognize therefore inherent in atheism the lack of ability to discuss with any fluency for instance the topics of this thread, i.e. "God's original plan for mankind" and " the related "made in God's image," the holy and the sacred in humanity and in daily life. atheism contributes nothing and offers nothing and contains nothing on those topics.
I'm not sure I've ever read anything more respectful of a difference of opinion than this comment here! Inspiring too!
Now that I think about it, not to believe in everything ever written or everything anyone claims as true can be seen as one massive black hole of not believing! An "empty room" much like the universe is mostly a massive vacuum. Can't fill that vacuum with planets that aren't there however. That's the sort of rub that atheist have to deal with. Can't make believe.
Recognizing reality for what it is may not be the empty room you think it is. The effort to know the truth certainly isn't an empty prospect either. For those of us who don't share the same room as you, what is empty to you is quite full and marvelous to us.
Good luck trying to grasp that one...
