Have you stopped whipping your wife?
I'd say the Bible is crystal clear on that...There's a lot of debate as to what or who is a Christian, but if your're thinkin' on getting to God without being a Christian, I believe you're in for a big surprise...
Your failure to answer is logically viewed as an affirmation that you whip your wife.
Of course not, but I have stopped whipping your wife.
Ah, so you do not understand the rules here? I ask a straight question, not the standard shyster lawyer question and you twist it for your own methods.
How long have you been a shyster lawyer?
Well, the historical Protagoras was a lawyer, too, apparently. The first sophist, hence the sophistry. I believe I understand now what the strategy is. It's a game, and I won't play any longer.
You came onto the thread looking to spew your hate while cloaking it in pretend love.
You have exactly the same standing on this thread as the guy who believes in nothing. If fact less, he didn't pretend to be a believer.
Let me know when you REALLY, REALLY mean it. I lost count how many times you have stopped.

Uh, I post as I choose, thanks. I assume you do the same. By the way, saying "Bye" does not mean I'm not returning. It just means I'm leaving for the moment. Bye, now...
To: Protagoras
Yes, I pray often for all you protestants and catholics. I pray that someday you can come to Christ.

Now, since you have continued to make a fool of yourself, you call in the mods. It's pathetic.
You will note that the moderator deleted both of those messages.
This one.

Actually, there's nothing really wrong with that post. It represents the view that some Christians don't really understand what being a Christian means. He says that he is praying that those people come to Christ.
I have seen the same said about Catholics and about some Protestant faiths. It is a matter of belief.
Calling a religious denomination a cult, however, is an insult to the members of that denomination. It is very different from saying that the members of a religious denomination are confused and are not truly Christian because of their doctrines.
I've seen that said here many times about the Roman Catholic Church.
Big difference, Protagoras.
I'll give you a corollary argument. I may say that you do not know something, or do not understand something. That will pass muster here. If I, on the other hand, call you "stupid," that would be a personal attack. I would never do that. I might say that you didn't understand something properly, but I would never call you "stupid."
You can say, with impunity, that a certain denomination is wrong in its doctrine. That is your opinion. If you say, however, that it is a cult, then you are making an attack, and that is not permitted here on Free Republic.
It's really quite simple.
Grow up. Call the mods.
1. Yes, I do get to ask questions. The likes of you won't stop me.
2. Wouldn't dream of it.
3. You are doing such a great job on yourself, I feel no need to make an ass of you.
4. You are the individual spewing. Your hatred is obvious to all around.

Careful, the Godless atheist will call the mods on you.
Me thinks this one is a shyster lawyer. In my experience, only a shyster lawyer would ask the old "When did you quit beating your wife?" question.

Hey! Let's be consistent! Aren't you going to call the mods?
