FMF: When you say "the genuine article of Christianity in its purest form" whose definitions of "genuine" and "purest form" do you have in mind?
Fetchmyjunk: I am referring to the common english usage, dictionary definitions of the words.
...the penny dropped for me. We can have conversations but I'm not going to go out of my way - or use too much of my two finger typing time - to entertain you.

If you feel that it is too personal and you don't want to share it for some or other reason just say so and I will understand.
Originally posted by FetchmyjunkIts a cheap FMF tactic, he always claims this when he feels uneasy. He essentially insinuates that your text has no validity because its motive is simply for entertainment purposes or is forum banter etc etc Transparent and not very clever.
So you seriously think the reason I am spending time to try and understand how you lost your faith in the Bible is for entertainment purposes?

Yes. Of course. I presume a lot of your deadpan gormless questions - where you just ignore answers over and over again - must have something to do with your sense of humour. What else could be behind them? There have been some interesting posts by you, as I said earlier in the thread, but I can only think that you're having some kind of laugh to yourself with some of other peculiar, head down, ears back stuff.

The reason I can't be bothered to share is exactly the reason I gave you above. There is no "some or other reason". 😛

Ah ha! You've coined a new catchphrase that you can reuse over and over again on any topic, any thread, any forum, in reply to any point! 😛

Its still not working for you FMF. The enquirers questions were sincere and you have treated them contemptuously with a complete lack of sincerity own your own part. How it pains me to have to bring it to your attention.

Originally posted by FetchmyjunkI haven't called Christianity foolish. I have many close friends who are Christians and I don't think of them as foolish. Many of them are probably smarter than me in many ways.
Genuine Christianity in it's purest form?
When you talk about "genuine Christianity in its purest form", what do you mean by "genuine" and what do you mean by "purest form"?
Now, it's obviously possible for you to make a bit of a fool of yourself answering these questions, as you did yesterday - at least to my way of thinking, but we shall see.
