And you are not aware enough to know that I was pointing out your sexism.

Did I hurt your little feelings?

Why don't you post what I said that was sexist, so that everyone can see. Or maybe you just want to cry about it...

Sarcasm and satire completely miss you, huh? I blame the public school system.

Is it typical of Christians to go around insulting people?

Is this type of behavior supported by Christianity or Jesus?

I'm just curious, because people who proselytize the religion on Internet forums sure do seem to love to insult other people on a continuous basis.

In fact, I swear that some of these Paper Popes seem to have the ultimate agenda of using religion as an excuse to insult other people all the while pretending that they are somehow "serving God".

In this medium, I never assume that people are trying to be sarcastic. There is no way that I can see facial expressions or hear tone of voice; therefore, unless I "know" someone, I take what they say at face value.

And while what you said might have been sarcastic, it wasn't satirical.

I have read several of your posts. You do not write in a clear, logical manner that expresses your exact intents. Knowing this, I tend even more to take what you say at face value; I am certainly not going to dig for your meaning.

I also find it interesting that while saying I wrote an ad hominem attack on you in another forum, you find it perfectly acceptable for you to actually launch ad hominem attacks on me--personally directed at me and not a larger, general group.

Your continued, personal, vitriolic statements do let me know that I have hit you hard.

Jesus would be proud of you there, boy. In fact, I bet he is sitting up in heaven, laughing his *** off. I wager he even has a scoreboard, and is keeping a tally of how many times you zing me.



I don't see in this passage where it says, "Come back at them hard, and be sure to use sarcasm and insult them." Oh, but you are human, aren't you? And humans make mistakes. (That is sarcasm.)

Abracadabra, I find insults from Christians to fly quite freely in these forums, and usually, they throw the first stone. I cannot fathom how they can take the command to be "Christlike" and yet be so insulting. I suppose that they think they are chasing the money lenders from the Temple.

In addition, OP, you take an old, worn-out scenario and play it again. Your creativity and originality are sorely lacking.

Why not come up with a TOTALLY new, non-rhetorical question that has not been asked hundreds of times? I know that your question might seem fresh and new to you, but to those of us who are old and have been dabbling in the religious pond for some time, it is merely old hat.

So what did I say that was sexist? I'm still waiting on that. If you are still having your hissy fit, I'll wait until you are done.

As with the other forum, I am finished until you find something creative and interesting. My boredom tolerance is low and was actually passed some time ago.

And I cannot abide a hypocrite, especially one who professes to be Christlike.

Your not too observant are you?Were casting the first stone huh?Maybe you should look at the hundreds of topics started and see which group is throwing stones.


Christians just like anyone else has the right to defend their religion which is attacked 24/7 in here.Maybe you and others should try being in our shoes for a month and see how you like the lies,insults,attacks,and hypocritical statements made towards you.

My first reply on this forum was

If that is "casting the first stone," then I suggest that the Christian replying in the caustic manner he replied review the scripture "an eye for an eye." This means that the "punishment" shouldn't be more severe than the "crime." His reply was insulting not only to me, but to women in general.

As for being observant about the actions of Christians and others, I have replied to three or four forums on this site and haven't had enough experience HERE to make a judgment on how often Christians are "attacked." However, I have been very observant in real life, and I have found many, not all, Christians to be pushy and uncaring about the rights and beliefs of others.

I have never gone door-to-door handing out religious tracts trying to get people to believe what I believe. I have never approached total strangers in restaurants to tell them the good news of Jesus Christ. I have never stood on a street corner preaching to the people passing by. I have never told my neighbor or friend that he/she should believe what I believe. I have never stopped my car in the middle of the road to tell someone working in his/her yard about Jesus. I have never told ONE person that he/she should be executed because he/she didn't believe like me. I have never stood outside a funeral home, shouting horrible things to the bereaved. I have never told a gay person that he/she should suffer for being gay. I have never advocated one religion over another. I have never tried to abridge someone's constitutional rights because he/she is of a certain faith, nor lobbied to make my belief a law of the land.

I have never had an atheist, a Buddhist, an agnostic, or a Jew judge me for my beliefs rather than who I am as a person. I have never had any of these people tell me that I should be stripped of my citizenship because of my beliefs, or that my "religion" shouldn't be protected by the US Constitution because it isn't a "real" faith.

I HAVE been in the shoes of Christians, not only when I was in a church for over a decade, but wearing other pairs of shoes as a pagan.

I can say from personal experience that prejudice and bias against me as a pagan has been much higher than than when I was a Christian. And ALL that prejudice and bias came from Christians!

In addition, the OP who slung the stones in this forum wasn't defending his religion! My original statement made NO slur on anyone's faith, eh? In fact, it didn't even mention religion! However, if one claims to be a Christian, one should abide by the tenets of Christianity, which includes walking an extra mile, turning the other cheek, and being Christlike.

Christians are usually not "martyred" for their faith, especially not in the US and even more so in these forums. They assume a sense of righteousness and anyone who disagrees is a persecutor.
