And, actually, your post shows that you didn’t listen to the message. Because you do the exact wrong thing that the message warns about IMMEDIATELY. You attack Talbot: “You and your obviously liberal United Methodist pastor...”
Don’t you see that in that one statement you have attempted to marginalize a pastor who brings thousands to Christ? You can’t tell me that by saying “your obviously liberal United Methodist pastor” isn’t an attempt to demean him in some way. That’s your way of saying “HE IS WRONG, LISTEN TO ME INSTEAD!”
That amazes me. That is a direct attack on another very faithful person. Someone who is very good at being a messenger of Christ. And you do this consistently on these boards. All I need to do is go back through your comment history to find example after example of someone who says “I accept Jesus but believe the universe is millions of years old” to find you informing that person he worships a false god, he is damned, etc.
You need to listen to that message and understand that what you do is not good for Christianity. Post as many YEC articles as you want, but temper your responses to skeptics. If they say they accept Jesus, maybe you should use that as a starting point for the dialogue rather than immediately informing that because they aren’t a YEC, they haven’t accepted the REAL Jesus. Seriously. Can’t you see that?
Finally, if you aren’t aware that this is how you behave on the boards - or are at least perceived as behaving by a large number of folks outside your clique - you need to work on your self-awareness.
LOL. Good luck with that. ‘You are going to hell if you don’t believe the same as me’ is their favorite tactic and ‘I am a better Christian than you’ their primary motivation; you can hardly expect them to give up what they foolishly imagine to be their two strongest fallback positions! ;)
