Of course, the down side to this tactic is that you put yourself on a self righteous pedistal and then wonder why people try to nock you off of that pedistal. In fact, could FMF and TOO be the same poster?

My question to you is, why is TOO so consumed with attacking Christianity rather than other religions? Obviously, TOO has had some personal issues against Christians. In fact, if Paul himself were here TOO would probably favor stoning him as a heritic.

He does not have the chance to do good, neither to sin...

Does not seem fair to me...

Not sure how this fits with my post. Care to elaborate?
As you are wont to do, you've asked a loaded question. I'd suggest you ask a straight one, but history has shown you to be next to incapable of making an honest post.
Your post had but two sentences, yet it was pregnant with inferences, charges and insults--- all directed away from you, despite your record for acting in the exact same manner as described!
Your consistent methodology has been to ask loaded questions. Pot: black.
A casual review of your posts reveals your intransigence toward others, despite their appeals to an imagined better character. Pot: black.
Throughout your time on this forum, you've yet to display transparency regarding your beef(s) against Christianity in addition to refusing to answer point-blank questions which would otherwise resolve the issue. Pot: black.
Unless I'm missing more, that should pretty much cover it. Whatcha got?

Originally posted by FabianFnasI doubt that there are major similarities between Revelation and Nostradamus.
If we compare the Revelation to the scripture of Nostradamus, we can find very much similarities. Not in details, but in how the visions are presented.
Furthermore, we can see similarities of how the symbolsims is interpreted.
If you have the opinion that the relevations is symbolially is true, then you can safely have similar opinion that the scripture of Nostradamus is equally true.
I think neither is true.
Now I have not studied in detail Nostradamus writings. But I know he came AFTER the writing of the book of Revelation. So I would not be surprised if he imitated certain aspects of it.
Anyway, I firmly believe that trying to lump Nostradamus together with the Bible is only an attempt to neutralize the troublesome Bible.
Nostradamus does not convict people of their sins. And the Bible does. And that is what people rationalize to get away from. Which is unfortunate because the forgiveness and the Savior comes along with the conviction of the Holy Spirit.

Originally posted by whodeyEvidently it was too much to ask for you to address the germane points of my post. I don't really have an opinion as to "which religion is the most Christ-like" or why anyone would for that matter. What does this question have to do with my post?
Ok then, which religion is the most Christ-like? Is it Hinduism, Islam, Judism etc.?

Originally posted by FreakyKBHYour post seems to be largely unfounded accusations wrapped in mischaracterizations that don't really have much to do with my statements addressed to W. It's as if the point were to just make as many accusations as you could think up without regard to my statements to W or to fact. Nevertheless I'll address them.

Go back and read through my posts. I was having a discussion with ATC to which W responded with question that was not only loaded, but off-topic as well. I pointed it out to him. This is just a fact. If you go back and read through discussions I've had with W on other threads, you'll also see where I've documented the dishonesty in W's posts time and again, post after post after post. This is also a fact.

If this is true, you should have no problem documenting it.

What does this have to do with my statements to W? Also, I suspect you don't know what "intransigence" means. Also, seems like "appeals to an imagined better character" have been few and far between as opposed to the cheap shots.

Once again, what does this have to do with my statements to W? From a post on 9/8 to W: "I point out where Christianity follows the teachings of those other than Jesus. I also speak against the hypocrisy of Christians such as yourself." I've been quite "transparent" about this. This is just false.
Originally posted by ThinkOfOneIf you don't have an opinion as to which religion represents Christ the best, why then do you spend all your time attacking Christianity?

Originally posted by ThinkOfOnePerhaps 'popular' was a poor choice of word. In my view Paul took a belief system which could not easily have been condoned by any political authority and transformed it into one which was ideally suited to use as a tool of control.
[b]Oh I see that, of course.
This is what I was responding to in particular:

I felt no enlightenment, no divinity, no illumination whatsoever, but I did encounter what seemed like an endless parade of hypocrites and r ...[text shortened]... e teachings of Christ" as opposed to the teachings of Christianity?[/b]
As for the latter question, I can't really say. I'm not sure that there is such a thing as 'spiritual truth'.
