Maybe you missed the initial sentence bowral
"Just a light hearted look at this eternal debate"
AH,Mogga
Thats the old eternal disclaimer,its like abusing someone,and then putting a smiley face on the end of the abuse.
When someone calls you out on it,you say,oh,it wasnt meant to be taken like that,didnt you see the smiley face i put on the end,it was all just light hearted.
Point being,you full well believed what you put up.
"I hardly call that mockery - unless you don't have a light heart - which must also be a consideration given your pugnacious nature"
Once again,you attack a belief system,based on a wrong concept or misrepresentation of that system,there are people who do have an open mind on these subjects ,young people etc that read these forums,and can be strongly influenced by the constant mockery and misrepresentation of the very thing that has provided the basis of freedom to the western world and its moral basis to individual freedoms.
If someone constantly demeaned and misrepresented something you hold dear and believe to be truth,post after post,would you not feel the need to pull that person up?
After all thats what forums are,is exchanges of ideas.
So if someone at your employment constantly poked fun at you,misrepresented what you held dear,with lies(maybe unintended,as i suspect,more uninformed) and then you engaged that person,does that then mean you have a pugnacious nature?Does it mean you are too serious?Or does it mean,you dont want something misrepresented,and be apathetic and just let it go,when it can influence for the worse other people?
"So where do we start?
"Yes,the catholic faith
Its painfully obvious,that you ASSUME,that this is what christianity is"
Once again you don't pay too much attention do you -
I have a problem with organized religion - not christianity - catholicism is a christian religion last time I checked
I also have a different perspective of what a deity is or could be."
Yes,and you posted accordingly,that the bible was started in Nicea,which is stupid
The concept of the trinity,which is the basis to pagan christianity started there,also sunday worship etc all have their origin there.
You didnt answer my reply to that post you made
""The vatican isnt even christianity" - in a funny sort of way I probably agree with you on this - especially after spending some time under its influence."
This is what im saying about being uninformed on a subject you constantly berate
Christianity existed long before the catholic church came along,the bible clearly says this system of religion misrepresents true christianity,and would become the dominant power in a religio/political system in our day and age.
"Whereu,who also has zero faith in the subject at hand,can easily be engaged with
Debated"
I'm not whereu and either are you - get over it"
Im not saying you are,but you are intelligent,so stop acting like a child and engage with someone who is willing to be an apologist for something you attack over and over in your posts.
Hopefully the aim,is not that you will agree with me,but maybe see things from someone elses perspective,that may at least give you another perspective on these issues and not treat them with contempt like you do
"The way you present is arrogant"
I would prefer to call it "to the point" - I don't like any grey areas"
Arrogant was a good analogy,if you were able to be engaged with on your strong assumptions,then i would say grey,but you dont,so your arrogant.
"you class yourself as ignorant" and I am humble enough to admit it. I wish I had all the answers.
Do you?
How do you class yourself?"
Different.
Happy to debate you on the condition we don't use any transcripts
Just your opinon versus mine
'BTW - how are the anger classes going"
Dont flatter yourself,i finally got you to engage didnt i
Do you think nicely nicely would get you too engage ?
Dont think so,ive tried that line with you before,but you class your self as a bit of a tough guy,be all things to all people
