@fmf saidThen why are you so interested in my beliefs and opinions as they pertain to Christianity?
Your purported "relationship" with Jesus Christ, and the purported effect it has on you, reminds me of Andres Serrano's famous photograph.
Not everyone abandoned Christianity and now boasts of standing strong in their atheism.

This morning 8:32 am EST is the first time I noticed your qualifier. Though you may opt to disbelieve me. Do I agree to Yes or No first ?
I agree to answer your question clearly in the way I think best to get to the truth.
You can play Perry Mason all you want. I'll answer so that the reasonable person can get at the truth of what is being asked.
If I think your question is crafted in a deceitful way, I just may expose that before I say Yes or No and / or explain.
@pb1022 saidIf you held Jesus in high esteem you would follow his example in the way you conduct yourself. You wouldn't get drunk and call women sluts.
I already addressed that.
I hold Jesus Christ in much greater esteem than to sully His Name in some trolling game.
Calling yourself a Christian, don't you think such behaviour sullies his name, that it leads atheists to believe the Holy Spirit hasn't changed you in the slightest?!

Ask your question Divegeester.
If I think you crafted your question in a way reminiscient of an American TV political debate as two rival candidates try to stick words in each other's mouths, I'll let people know.
Then I'll help to get to yhe kernel of truth which is needed to make clear the situation.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidAnd I suppose you, serving as the accuser of the brethren, would point fingers at the Apostle Paul and the Apostle Peter for their transgressions while your much grosser sins largely remain hidden.

Christians aren’t perfect and I never claimed otherwise, and neither did the Apostle Paul or anyone else in the Holy Bible. But our default mode can be described, for lack of a better word, as goodness.
One thing is clear, though. You threw your integrity into the toilet by backing up FMF’s ridiculous lie and then flushed that toilet by doubling down.
Your integrity’s gone, Ghosty old boy. And you let it go so cheaply and without even a fight.
@pb1022 saidNo, just you.

I have gone my whole atheistic life without calling women sluts, irrespective of any alcohol I had consumed.
@ghost-of-a-duke saidThere are far worse things than that, Ghosty old boy, and I bet you’ve done a lot of them.
No, just you.

After all, you’ve shown your integrity isn’t worth ten cents. How fast do you sell it in real life?
But why don’t you create a new thread for your trolling and call it “Ghosty’s Accusations and Condemnation” instead of continuing to troll post in a thread that has a legitimate purpose?

And let's not forget, you were previously banned from the site for malicious trolling.
