This place really takes some getting used to.
He treats Christians like that - exclusively. You’ll never catch him treating an atheist or Christ denier with anywhere near that level of disrespect and trolling.
And yet he claims - in my view falsely - to be a Christian. Lot of liars on here. He’s just the latest one to be exposed.

The conversation was ...
You said that you dont always tell the truth because of what others would say.
Then I said that is called being a 'men pleaser', a biblical term.
You replied with this homosexual nonsense and an insult about my contribution to the forum

Originally posted by @tom-wolseyI think the traditional interpretation is something like...
Proverbs 26
4 Answer not a fool according to his folly,
lest you be like him yourself.
5 Answer a fool according to his folly,
lest he be wise in his own eyes.
Is this a contradiction? If not, what does that tell us about reading and comprehending the messages found in the bible?
26:4 is "Do not answer a fool with a foolish response" (according meaning answering the fool in a manner according to the nature of the folly);
whereas, in 26:5, the according means answer him for the folly that he has done.
So one is... Don't answer a fool as a fool, and the other is hold a fool accountable for his foolish actions.
But I did this without googling or looking to alternative translations.
Correct me if I err.

Originally posted by @apathistI feed tiger PB&J sandwiches with the crusts cut off. Almost exclusively. It seems to be all he ever wants to eat.
Exactly why are you feeding him?
One day, I made him macaroni and cheese and he ate it - and a lot of it. But he insisted on having a PB&J sandwich for dessert.
I said, “tiger, if you’re not careful, you’re going to turn into a PB&J sandwich.”
tiger replied, “Then I’d eat myself,” and we laughed and laughed.
Originally posted by @rajk999Nope. Didn't say that. Is your memory bad, or are you being dishonest.

The conversation was ...
You said that you dont always tell the truth because of what others would say.
Then I said that is called being a 'men pleaser', a biblical term.
And then later you admitted realizing I took you to mean something else entirely.

And I explained that I don't normally react harshly but didn't take kindly to being attacked when I was trying to recognize you for saying something truthful. Don't worry. It won't happen again.

That poster was you, wasn't it? Do you really not remember?

Originally posted by @fmfAt this point the question isn't why don't I remember, but why YOU do. What was it. 5? 7 years ago?

Make up your mind.

So apparently if I merely point out that dive has accused me of being a liar several times in the last couple of weeks, without a shred of evidence... that makes ME the villain?
After however many years it's been since I was here last, one thing is for sure. You and at least one other have spent a considerable--no--an embarrasing amount of time huddled in this dusty old room scrutinizing and assaulting just about anyone who dares venture inside the door. Maybe it's pride, or straight up narcissism. Whatever it is, it keeps you from being appropriately ashamed of yourself.

Originally posted by @tom-wolseyMy observation about the gap between your deeds and your words seems to have struck a nerve.

I have begged Kiddo to leave his bedroom and go outside for a walk or at least crack open a window to eliminate the awful smell but he refuses.
Even tiger won’t go over there anymore - even after Kiddo said he had a six-pack of ale.
“Kiddo’s bedroom stinks!” tiger exclaimed after returning from a visit.
