You fail to realize that I have nothing to lose in all of this. I don't care if you can't appreciate why I can answer a question of Biblical application with a very pertinent Bible quote. It really doesn't get any more plain. If you don't like that I don't see fit to go too far out of my way to discuss this with someone who I perceive to be a dead-set antagonist, then I don't care about that either. I'm happy to answer straightforward questions, but I don't owe anyone here an understanding of scripture from A-Z, and I will determine how much time I will waste on the likes of people who turn things against me without knowing what they're talking about. Here's what it boils down to in my book: I do not look down on people for ignorance--all of us are ignorant at some point, but there are some people who ought to know better--who are willfully ignorant of the truth because they didn't like what they saw. I do not waste time on these people. I place vision, TG, slick, and yourself in this camp, but I usually deal with people on a instance-by-instance basis, so if someone has a question I do my best to answer with whatever level of personal investment I feel is warranted. With vision it became so consistent that he is the only person on the DBB that I have ever ignored entirely.

I waited until now to get back to this because A) this shitpost isn't even worth the board it's written on, B) it's your wretched, bigoted and judgmental attitude I have a problem with and C) since I don't know you personally, how in the ★■◆● would i have an axe to grind against you?

you don't look down on people? then what was all that talk about making sure someone is a genuine christian? That is the very definition of looking down on people, and we all know it. And this truth you talk about; that's your truth, and not everyone agrees with it. get that through your thick head.

When you came on here and told everyone that you make sure other people were pure christians, or genuine christians, or whatever word you use, what did you think would happen? Did you think you'd be congratulated for being a shepherd to the flock or something?

And in the same breath, you talk to me about lacking debate skills? Until I see an actual answer from you instead of running to a quote as your onus of proof, I'll acknowledge it. Until then, you're not impressing me with this concoction of drivel. And that 'pining' part? what are you even talking about?

Now, here's a question that you should be able to answer easily. If I'm just a thug as you believe.... why is it that I only go after the content of your posts? why is it that I can pick it apart so easily? why is it that I can show how stupid it really is?

In answer to B, I know exactly what you have a problem with. C: do we really feel the need to experience personal introductions before having problems with each other on this board? I did not know that!

Is a mechanic who has been through training and real world experience looking down on someone who is using a hammer to try to change spark plugs when he says they're not a mechanic? If the Bible didn't give judgement on what real faith--on what real Christianity is, then I wouldn't have much to go on. This is not some vague personal metric. No, I don't have to be "looking down on people" to say that's not Christianity. I just happen to know better. I want you to know that I don't feel the need to pronounce whether or not someone who professes faith is really a Christian. I usually only weigh in if it really stands out.

Truth is truth. I operate from my own personal POV and experience, but truth is a constant. I recognize that my own perception of it may be imperfect at times, but next to someone who doesn't even believe it is a constant you might understand if I rely on that perception.

Having trouble? What I said is still there. Maybe you should quote me...

You have an exceptionally vivid imagination driven by an overinflated opinion of your own ability. (but that was easy)
