@sonship saidI have been an active participant here for over ten years discussing the beliefs attached to the various versions of God that people promote and there have been millions and millions of words of "normal discourse", many, many of them contributed by me.
But I don't think FMF thinks there is such a thing as "normal" discourse of a believer. He is an Agnostic/ Atheist for whom discourse about the "god figure" is not normal to begin with.
It struck me that you offering to pray to expedite my death - as a 'debating point' - was not "normal" Christian discourse. No one, including me, has ever said anything remotely like that to you. Maybe some Christians will come to this thread to express endorsement of your behaviour.
@sonship saidI have been back to read it. You were frustrated by my refusal to play along with your rhetorical gimmick about my "intelligence" and its supposed role in my "deception" i.e not having the same beliefs as you. If you think it was normal. Christian discourse, so be it.
No I offered to pray to expedite your going to that realm of death to find out if the bible is true or not. That is what I offered. Go back and read it.
@fmf saidGiven your penchant for mischaracterizing the intent of your debate opponents words, and without providing appropriate content to support your contention, I'd say this thread and its purpose is "normal" for you.
sonship recently offered several times to pray [along with some of his prayer group friends] to expedite/speed up my death when I refused to speculate about whether my intelligence was the reason for me not believing the same things as he does.
Is this normal, Christian discourse?
-Removed-Proverbs 24:17,18
Rejoice not when thine enemy falleth, and let not thine heart be glad when he stumbleth:
Lest the LORD see it, and it displease him, and he turn away his wrath from him.
Just ignore them on a forum board.
Apparently God forgot to add that last part to His Word. Thanks geester.
@secondson saidIf you believe what sonship said was normal, Christian discourse, feel free to say so.

@fmf saidThat is weird and completely abnormal Christian behavior. But sonship is in a cult and not a normal Christian. Personally I would treat that like the wind blowing, and just ignore him. God hears the prayers of the righteous and His face is turned away from the wicked. So if indeed he did pray for your death then God would certainly be laughing at him.
