@secondson saidMy question to sonship was rhetorical.
You must not recall how I did disagree, though I do understand the position.

Should I infer from your lack of response that you are affiliated with the same religion as Sonship? Or is it a deeper, mystical relationship, are you actually Secondsonship, come again even though we haven't even crucified the first one yet?
@avalanchethecat saidSame religion as in both Christian, but not affiliated to the same branch of Christianity. (Sonship sits on his own twig). It is true though that many Christians are strangely accommodating or quiet to his non-biblical ramblings.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidWhen you say 'accommodating' do you mean they show agreement? Or just don't show disagreement?

@avalanchethecat saidDisagree but without significant challenge.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidI guess that's understandable. Differences between brands of christianity are less overt than those between christianity and the a-religious.

-Removed-In other words, "you gained a few brownie points with me by attacking the same guy I've been attacking for years, so don't waste them by attacking me too."
Are you threatening him? Trying to inform him on which side his bread is buttered, by insinuating he can benefit from your support?
As Eric Idle used to say, "oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, yes."
@moonbus saidThis is saying that Christianity is some monolithic, etched-in-stone dogma that can't be questioned.
You want to cherry-pick the bits of Christianity you like and leave off the bits you don't like. There's a word for people who do that: it's "heretic."
Thank secular institutions the true believers aren't allowed to burn you at the stake anymore.
Funny, but in fact, you might have something there because nearly everyone seems to think their particular belief is the only reasonable one. So, in effect, everyone becomes a "heretic".
Even Jesus in his time.
