Was I forced to be a Christian for 25+ years?

If there was actual avoidance, I'd give you this point. As it is, it is just whining. You're quite the self-absorbed little prick when you want to be.

Do you ever stop to think if you are self-absorbed as well?

sonship and KellyJay and RBHILL have talked about having been given their faith by god too. sonship has talked about the gift of faith and the 'miracle' of him receiving it countless times. Presumably it's on your list of things to do to tackle them on this matter.

RBHILL, yes, he IS a Calvinist. The other two, no. They have both mentioned the free will of choosing one's path and one's God. Perhaps you've forgotten that you yourself have attacked them for this very thing numerous times. Why atheists should be so offended by the idea that their destiny is up to them, I have no idea. Oh, yeah, it's so you can attack Christians, regardless of what they actually say about anything.

And sorry, I'm not carrying your water by attacking my Christian brothers because you would have a giggle over it, like you do when your "Christian" pal does it. Do your own dirty work.

Why would I? Now you're just babbling.

Have you forgotten this?

I've said this before I know and don't mean to be derogatory about it but you don't know your Bible well enough dj2becker/Fetchmyjunk.

I had no choice as the faith I was given was given by God. I also had no choice in seeking God.

Sorry, I am not like you.

1) I do not count my worth by how many people who disagree with me I attack this month, Christian or not. People are free to disagree with me. But I have a profound inability to turn the other cheek which scales up with the viciousness with which I am attacked. Mere disagreement, without a clear indication that the person thinks I am the scum of the universe for merely disagreeing, I can live with. Mere disagreement =/= vicious attack. You must have the same lawyer Trump had, the one who taught him that one must attack back those who attack you 10 times worse than they attacked you. You still don't "get" that the forum wars are over. You still envision yourself as a veteran forum warrior. That's, well, sad.

2) I'm not friends with someone whose entire raison d'etre is attacking Christians.

3) You must be a real treat in person. Like FMF.

So in your mind calling someone a d!ick or a pr!ck is engaging in healthy debate? 🙄

Suzianne has never tackled those posters for their incessant claim that faith is god given.

So you think either we have free will or faith is God given? 🙄 The two don't seem mutually exclusive to me.

You can either accept or reject the analysis and advice I have given you.

When is the motive of your 'advice'? To me you seem to be taking the piss.

Not at all. There are half a dozen regular posters here who disagree with me vehemently, day in day out, but they don't behave like they have been handicapped by being psychologically abused for 24 years. I don't have any problem with disagreement. It's what a debate and discussion is for. I welcome it. My advice is not about your disagreements with me. It's about your behaviour.

My behavior? That's rich coming from you FMF.
