A little confusing?
You just hit on the problem that plagues these boards. Just look at karoly there. He just says the most random things that don't correspond to what's being discussed. Apathist too. I think these guys post after taking a toke off a joint most of the time.
And it seems everyone just keeps projecting their preconceived ideas about what Christians think. Take Rajk for example, he labels the whole of Christendom as followers of dogma because it doesn't agree with his doctrine of legalism.
The incongruous irregularities of the juxtapositioning of abstractions is rampant in these threads because it seems people have lost the ability to think rationally these days. They just can't follow the thread of thought from one post to the next.
Just look at fmf. Constantly asking questions about the Biblical narrative he already knows the answers to, to deliberately derail intent. Notice too his questions are most often directed at Christian posters while giving a pass to those odd ball self styled christians like Rajk and ToO who he knows are off script biblically. Not to mention his posting buddy divegeester who appears to follow fmf's lead and posting style.
I don't think I've seen a rational and objective discussion in these forums in ages, and I fear posting this because I know it will be misunderstood.
1 Timothy 6:4-5a,b
He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,
Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth,..
In other words, never argue with an idiot.
