@suzianne saidExcuse me suzianne for not being exactly certain about what you're saying.
This is a problem with Christianity today, people are actually trying to make it into a popularity contest.
I hear all kinds of Chriistians say "it's not my opinion, it says this right in the Bible". Yes, it IS 'your opinion' because what anyone claims is mostly their interpretation of what is written. This is nowhere better seen than right here in this very foru ...[text shortened]... , you're appealing to your audience, i.e. making the meaning of scripture into a popularity contest.
Would you please pardon my ineptness? Will you explain what you mean in simpler terms relative to what I said in the post of mine you replied to with what you said above?

Well said.

I boldly suggest Christianity does just that. It divides humans up into those worthy of salvation and those destined for damnation.
I put it to you sir that religion gets in the way of what it truly means to be human and denigrates our commonality.

@sonhouse saidOk. 🤔 So exactly what is it that the Ghost said that you think was "well said"?
Well said....Part Deux. Whew, going backwards to page one is a pain in the ass😉
I mean, in your own words, why do you agree with the Ghost that Christianity divides humans into two groups? i.e., the lost and the saved?
-Removed-I'll point out to you divegeester, that when I say “it’s what the bible says”, I said it to you, and because you claim to be a Christian, and because I said it in the context of a debate about what the Bible says, it's not a "tactic", but instead is said to support the contention I was making relative to what the Bible actually says in contrast to the unbiblical assertions you make.
-Removed-Because I don't take sides in a debate with those that argue against Christians like you do. It would be different if you could stay on topic and address the points Christians make in any given debate, but you don't, instead you deflect, criticize and insult.
Having friends that are atheists isn't the issue, I have some myself, but it appears you don't have any Christians friends in this forum, and why, because you make yourself out as better while deriding and making execrations against those you should esteem brothers and sisters.
