Abrams calls for removal of Confederate faces off Stone Mountain

[Mountain Man]

He has to rationalize being told over and over by Christians of all stripes from all over the world that his claims aren't even close to the mark.

He's under the delusion that he has his finger on the pulse of Christianity but actual, practicing Christians don't.

You're like a person on Fox News saying "we've got a 'liberal' and a black woman on our network, so that makes us Fair and Balanced." You tolerate diversity on some issues, but you then delude yourself into thinking you've got some sort of reasonable general cross-sectional representation of Christianity, when in fact you're in so much of a bubble that it's an ongoing joke how insular you are.

LOL

There are a set of essential doctrines that one needs to hold to be an orthodox Christian. Such as the Trinity and the bodily resurrection of Christ. Anyone who does not hold those doctrines are unorthodox or in some cases heretical. They are welcome here but can't be part of the staff. We don't hold anyone to non-essential matters.

Theologyweb is one of the most open Christian run web sites on the web. Most others are a lot more restrictive and would not even allow other denominations much less atheists to be members.

Making such statements is a good example of you thinking you know more about Christianity than you actually do.

And most of those that do put a lot more restrictions on them

You think our only interaction with other Christians is on this forum?

~shrug~ I'm sure you guys interact with other Christians at your local churches and perhaps in your workplaces and local communities. Perhaps you even have other equally insular internet forums.

Unlike you guys, I've interacted with a large variety of Christians from around the world in many different forums who have held many different views. This forum is constantly fascinating for me though because you guys are so ignorant and insular and so self-confident in your ignorance.

This is a good example of you delusionally assuming that someone who doesn't agree with your opinion must therefore be ignorant of your opinion, and you delusionally equating your personal opinion with 'Christianity'.

While I am sure there are plenty of denomination-specific discussion groups, there are plenty of open discussion forums.

Actual practicing Christians both who I know personally in my life, and know on many web forums, know that I'm an expert on the subjects of Christian theology and history and biblical interpretation, and regularly compliment me for my knowledge.

Christians in this forum however...

"He said something I didn't agree with, therefore he's ignorant of Christianity!!!"



The stupid is endlessly fascinating and mind-blowing.

If you don't believe me just ask me.

Sorry, but that's all the further I got before I literally started laughing out loud.

I can't imagine how ignorant and uninformed someone has to be to mistake you for an expert in anything.

[One Bad Pig]

It's self-evident. There are Christians on this board who have been rationalising and defending White Nationalism as propounded by Trump and the Alt-Right, values that appal many Christians and non-Christians alike in the real world.

You're entitled to your opinion, but it's flat wrong (on a number of levels). As much as I think Trump has a penchant for scoring own goals, he is no way rationalizing and defending White Nationalism.

Oh, look, more over-the-top rhetoric from Starlight. Have you figured out that doubling down on the rhetoric fails to impress us yet? Blatant misrepresentation like the above isn't working too well, either.

[Terraceth]

Yup, pretty much. What tends to happen is, because I've studied the history of Christian theology (I wrote a book on it)

What is this book and where can it be found? You can't just toss out a claim like that without specifying what your book actually was.

Their argument goes something like this:

"Trump said that he condemns hatred, bigotry, and violence on many sides. You see that? 'On... many... sides.' That means he totally supports white supremacists!"

The twists of logic to arrive at such a conclusion boggles my mind.

I'd also like to see some links to these posts on other forums where he is supposedly praised for his "expertise".

Well, white supremacists seem to think so. Maybe Tassman enjoys identifying with them.
