    Atheism advertises itself as well.

            Sunday Assembly is not exclusively atheist. It is secular and radically inclusive. There is no such thing as apostasy in it, for example. It is not a campaigning group. It is not political.

              Most churches I've been blessed to attend have not been exclusively Christian. All of the churches I've been to are/were radically inclusive. In fact, most churches I've been to attempt to get as many non-Christians into the pews/seats as possible. Nor has any church I've ever been a member of preached politics from the pulpit. Never been under a pastor who asked me to vote for any particular party or politician. And it isn't true that Sunday Assembly does not campaign.

                    he prefers public humiliation and demonstrating being a fundy by stalking me in other threads

                    1) no one said no one ever showed credentials but I hadn't seen them so as is obvious demanding them is not a habit when someone asks you your opinion on something, no one else had or ever did in the thread d and it was all by way of intro.
                    2) none of his credentials had or has anything to do with the subject in this thread or that
                    3) no way for the average poster to verify identities with usernames on a semi anonymous board so still have no idea what his really is
                    4) the arrogant goof up was all caused by ignoring the reference that was actually given.
                    5) Duck season is fine, be a dream if they came through perfectly in a row all the time but the fact that Cheney shot him is not my fault.

                    anyway in every forum trying to resurrect a closed thread is a violation - not here?

                      We choose to be lightly moderated. There are those, of course, who take undue advantage of that situation.
                      The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

                        So if you are a evangelical Bible thumping Hell fire preacher you are still within the fold and not fallen away?

                          But the challenges are, in my experience, puerile ones missing the mark entirely. Yours certainly have been.
                          Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

                            Not only that, they're silly and trivial, too!
