Would your fellow... buddies -- understand this, bb, you're a good person, you sincerely believe what you believe and share it with everyone instead of the straight attack all the time. Yet, this "buddies" is in-congruent on an anonymous forum.

it is aggrieving when many just band up with unitarians or jehovah's witnesses or moslems just as "buddies" and then go on raids without even knowing what their fellows believe in.

Kosta is an online friend of mine precisely because I know what he does or does not believe in -- he is honest. Yes, he is agnostic and I disagree with him publicly on that matter, but I appreciate his honesty in what he does or does not believe -- I don't agree, but appreciate the honesty.

I cannot understand people who will come on a Religion Forum and debate someone else's faith without saying what they themselves believe -- an athiest says "i don't believe", an agnostic says "I don't know", a Presbyterian/Catholic/Lutheran/Anglican/Methodist/Fundamentalist will point to the Nicene Creed as encapsualting the central tenets of their faith. A Baptist or Pentecostal may be wary of saying he adhered to the tenets of a creed, but at least he'll tell what he believes or not.

but the lone posters who won't even share their beliefs, just spout their hatred against all and sundry?

That is like someone jumping into a meeting of Republicans and not revealing whether he even IS a Republican or not or what his political views are -- a democrat in that gathering is still someone who tells you what they believes, but a RINO is more dangerous as they hide sneakily.

And these posters who do not talk about what they believe but attack everyone else -- they are akin to RINOs

Well said.

I find that most people who do this tend to be Christadelphians.

Enough, Cronos! They HAVE posted their beliefs, many times, I have read them myself, and I know I haven't even read them all either. I think your problem is that you expect whoever you call out to jump on command and answer every question to your satisfaction and, if they fail to do so, you continue to browbeat and harass and follow from thread to thread demanding your answers. You have done it with Dr. Eckleburg, Metmom, PNSN, Quix, Iscool and others. You even did it with me a few times. I am not alone in observing it nor am I alone in abhorring it. You have been warned by the Moderator many times as well yet you rarely let it slow you down.

I really don't know what your problem is and why you can't just discuss the issues without becoming so creepy. This will be the last time I'm even going to reply to you on this subject. I get it that you get offended by those who disagree with your Catholic theology, but anyone who comes on these threads should expect to deal with criticism and be able to discuss differences WITHOUT resorting to personal attacks. You are not helping your point of view by this kind of action. I just wish you understood that you can't go around accusing fellow Freepers of things without any proof other than your own imagined slights.
