It was the most gratuitous and meanspirited behaviour I have seen here in ten years aside from an incident where Seitse said something about Grampy Bobby's deceased wife.
The irony is that it shows strength of character to share publicly such highly personal information, to invest part of oneself in the forum community. For someone to view that as 'weakness' and an opportunity to ridicule is truly despicable.

Facts do trump opinions.
I just don’t believe your “facts.”
How could you possibly have a theology degree and think books of the Bible were written “decades apart.”
How could you possibly have a theology degree and not realize how easily refuted the atheist’s “talking snake” in Genesis trope is.

I don’t buy your “facts” for these and other reasons.
One is not a prerequisite of the other.

That said, I still know more than Romans about all religions, including Christianity and it's talking snakes. 🙂
Originally posted by @suzianneOne could certainly have knowledge of the Bible - and elementary facts about it - without believing in God. You think one has to believe in God to know books of the Bible were written more than “decades apart?” That the lessons in Job were about more than God “proving something” to Satan? That the “talking snake” in Genesis was actually a serpent and was demonically possessed? and on and on.

An atheist is not capable of knowing any of that?

It’d be like someone claiming to have a degree in calculus and “forgetting” how to do long division.
Doesn’t wash!

There's always the risk when sharing personal information that someone will use it as ammunition at a later date.

-Removed-It was Seitse really ~ he stalked me across three forums asking me if I was sleeping with my own sons while referring to an avatar of my family I was using. There were links to stories about Gary Glitter posted on numerous threads. robbie just played along with it. robbie's Own 'FMF is a woman impersonator/paedophile' thing was a couple of years later. Seitse got a 12 month ban although it wasn't me who alerted the posts.
