A similar thing happens any time I mention what I think to be the correct interpretation of a biblical passage on the balance of evidence, and it happens to be different to the one that they learned at their church. Because if I prefer an interpretation they've never heard of, it must be because I'm ignorant and don't know about the interpretation they were taught in their church. Failure to agree with their version of Christianity is creatively reinterpreted as lack of knowledge about their version of Christianity. It's one of the many ongoing absurdities on this site."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump

Originally posted by Mountain Man View PostNo, what happens is that you will reference a fringe view that is widely rejected by scholars and theologians, both contemporary and ancient, but insist against all evidence to the contrary that it's really mainstream. Then when we explain to you why your views are incorrect and cite relevant scholarship, you'll retreat to your "But I've studied this! No, really!" defense, and then we laugh at you.

As a result there is a high amount of conformity among the Christians who remain on this site. But they don't seem to realize how much of a bubble they've created for themselves. The fact that a few Christians from a few other denominations and countries manage to pass their ideological purity tests and post here, convinces them that their particular views of Christianity are globally held and convinces them that they can't be in a bubble here."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
