What has been said here about Christianity that is any worse than things you have said about "Democrats", or "the Left"?

Are derogatory comments only allowed about things that Walker disapproves of? :roll:
The question man. Figure it out, because as you've said, you don't understand what I write, unless it's thug talk. Then, you're all in.
If you can't answer the question, just say so. :roll:
You're rather dim, aren't you.

I can answer it. I won't now, for the reason stated.

You think that your every question should be answered? Well I answered it.

Ask it again. I'll give you the same answer, Dimwit.

Should I quote the answer again? You missed it the first time.

Shirley, that's clear enough even for you.

Look at this way, Harbal. Since you wanted to make it personal, shake my hand and be a man. Prove you're not a Dimwit. If you want to rap, daddy, jive on this on the other thread, and without your "questions for clarification" :roll: , 'cause I spent some time and effort on this explanation that you requested, and you blew it off with some crap comment about poetry, just to be cute and clever.

Take your time and make it good, 'cause your crap will be answered with crap. Savvy that, compadre?

This:

- Reincarnation is the embodiment of a quality that has existed before.
- Cat-like is a quality. Dog-like is a quality. Human-like is a quality. God-like is a quality.
- Each cat, dog, and human is an embodiment of those particular qualities.

- Man is made in the image of God.
- Therefore, each human is a reincarnation of … the image of God-like quality.

- And what might that be?
- Omniscience, limited by corruptions such as delusions, and just perhaps, limited by human form, although it’s a common trope that humans use only a fraction of their noggin potential, and Jesus Christ was a form of God leaning more towards God than delusion.

- Because memories pertain to the body and the experiences of the body, then when the body goes the way of all flesh, so goes the memories of that flesh just as quickly as a dream.

- What is the mechanism for qualities that have existed before, being passed along? Same as it is now.

- And what becomes of the person in the body, does the person survive?
- What is a person but memories, qualities, and the flesh? Memories and flesh are scattered to the wind, but qualities get reincarnated.

That may well be the answer to somebody's question, but it isn't the answer to mine.

My question was about your complaint of disrespect towards Christianity. I don't particularly have any respect for Christianity, so it would be false of me to demonstrate any, just as you don't demonstrate respect for the things you look down on. Forget about my question, and let us both continue to disrespect each other.

Btw, I was wearing a hat when I posted this, so put that in your pipe and smoke it, compadre. :|

That's a deliberate misinterpretation. I never said I had any such thing.
If I take your own words literally, yes you did.

To which you replied:
Immanuel Can wrote: Sat Nov 26, 2022 2:02 pmYes, they are.
As I said, I gave you the benefit of doubt because I don't believe you meant to admit that, even though it seems to me true. Again, you are welcome to correct me if I am wrong.
I accepted that you might have made a mistake, gave you the opportunity to correct and in return you tell me:
Immanuel Can wrote: Sun Nov 27, 2022 5:07 amYou pretend to misread, I see.
I read what you write. Now you accuse me of "deliberate misinterpretation". If that is what you call honesty and integrity, they are worthless, and so are you. If you want another enemy, I'm happy to be it. On the other hand, you could acknowledge that I have given you multiple opportunities to clarify your position, that I don't mean you any ill will and that we could have a civilised conversation without you making unfounded allegations against me. The ball is in your court.

Unfortunately, I am rather committed to a brief period of quietude, so I will have to leave you for now so as to maintain that commitment. I hope to return very soon with good tidings. Peace be with you until then.
Don't stay away too long now!

- Ah, I see. You did not imply a question with the OP that you posted on the Reincarnation Thread. You simply wanted to make a comment, that no discussion is necessary.

- My fault. I quickly realized that you were there to ridicule**, and you confirmed that when I made mention of it, in that thread, early on.

- Your mind is made up about reincarnation. *

- Your hat is firmly glued onto your head by your lack of knowledge and understanding, which is commonly called, ignorance.

- Don’t worry. It happens to most everyone, but not me, not IC, and not dattaswami**** as far as I call tell quickly skimming over his postings without verifying the names he uses, and amongst others here too. After a certain age, what’s the point of changing what you know? Stick to the bonkers since that's all you've offered. It’s gotten you this far, winkie. :wink:

- This is because of your self-concept, not because I say so.

- That's why you need to get started early in these things, when young, otherwise you're just defending your bigotry
sophomorically ***, with ridicule. You're old now. Guess you missed the boat, eh?

- However I've heard it through the grapevine that one really need not understand anything to be a Christian. All you need do is accept God into your heart, through Jesus Christ. This usual happens during a confluence of events that create a mental state of clarity, such as when close to death. If you can do that, surrender to God in your heart, then you will naturally, spontaneously, have respect for these sorts of things. Your bigotry will wither like an old rose petal.

- You're welcome for the time, and thank you for the opportunity for any ears who may hear, even though yours don't, compadre. Nothing personal.



* And Christianity.
** and here also
*** could I get a spell check, AISLE 1 Christianity.
**** however, due to the sheer volume of his output, he could be some computer program gathering info off the web. I don't know much about those things like computer trickery.

I suspected you were Gay.

My heart already belongs to Satan. :twisted:

Poking a stick at half wits like you is not bigotry, Walker, it is my duty as a responsible member of society.

Interesting. Since you don't whether or not you're a person, do you know if you're alive?
