Those who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath, those of whom some He transformed into apes and swine

They say the last thing to go is language itself.

There must be a context; a setting in which all this is taking place. Looking some at history . . . I don’t know. Perhaps Bucky is offering to hold coats while you and another, non-specifically identified, Christian fight. But, why would Bucky do such a thing? What theme or goal of Bucky’s would be validated if he were to be successful in promoting a factional dispute between you and another Christian of a somewhat different belief? Surely, Bucky would not stoop to such devices. Would he?
But, if factional warfare among Christians were to be Bucky’s aim, then he would need for you to do more than merely criticize someone’s statement or idea, using the normal devices of debate. He would need for you to attack your antagonist’s person and the fundamentals of his faith, to achieve his objective. Would Bucky stoop to such a low stratagem? Naauughh! It is hardly to be thought.
...and on their way to the Middle East, the Crusaders stopped in the Rhineland and massacred thousands of innocent, harmless Jews who were just minding their business.
You guys don’t understand Bucky at all. Why would Bucky need to stoop, when he’s down in the gutter already?
Does it come a pass word? Can I use that as my “secret security” question? No one will ever guess it!
I’ll be happy to explain the plain, albeit carefully constructed English sentence for you. You can ping the rest of the cult, as I’m not inclined to waste the effort to do so.
Here’s the whole quote as I originally posted it: “By your count, you’re obviously including most of the mainstream denominations, you know, those whose innate Christianity by virtue of the practice of their faith you deny.”
Now, don’t you reject the notion that Episcopalians, say, are Christians solely by their adherence to Episcopal doctrine? Sure you do. Therefore, to rephrase your rejection, you deny their innate Christianity. You know what “innate” means, right? Sure you do!
Now, to be more specific, you deny the innate Christianity that they (and I) believe they have earned by belonging to the Episcopal faith, that is, by virtue of the practice of their faith. You understand what “by virtue of” means, right? Good for you!
Now, the climax—hang on to your seat! When you put it all together, you get, to repost the part of the phrase that you excised: “...those whose innate Christianity by virtue of the practice of their faith you deny.”
See? It’s real easy, but I would assume that the proper analysis of a complex English sentence such as this is difficult for someone whose unevolved lineage has been communicating with other beings for only 6000 years. That applies to the whole ping crew, not just you.
Ask me—perhaps I’ll share it.
GGG, no matter where I am, I am always assured that I will be looking down at you.

You’re upside down, that’s why you think you’re looking down...LOL!!!

Then don’t refer to me in other posts.
“Exactly what was that body wash you gave me?”

Poor poor bucket-o-poo...deluded liberal projections about cults on FR.
I think I saw xcrement ping you to something or other...
do you clowns have some sort of FR closet liberal incompetence club?
Now, Buck W. hasn’t tpanther already told you (Post # 117), “ . . . one would think by now that you would have begun to at least clue into the Biblical Truth that the final judge is Christ. He will ultimately determine who is or isn’t a legitimate Christian.” Still trying to hold coats, I see. Which word of tpanther’s didn’t you understand?
In case you’re uncertain about the meaning of “trying to hold coats,” it means substantially the same as fomenting factional disputes. It is a favored tactic of IWW field agents, Socialist Democrats (that is to say, in our parlance, Democrats), militant atheists, Islamo-Fascists as well as the plain old Fascists of yesteryear, many Anarchists, ACORN agitators, and labor goons of various stripes (such as the SEIU). Which may go a long way in explaining why some of your fellow forum members accuse you of so many of those horrible things of which we all know you are innocent.
Posting and drinking are a dangerous combination. But keep it up; your silly rants that result cement the image of inferiority that I have of you in my mind!
I’m afraid you have to make your case to a billion adherents of mainstream Christian denominations, not just to me. Would you like me to provide you a few names and phone numbers to start?
Why would you assume that I am uncertain as to the meaning of a phrase posted earlier? Trust me—nothing posted by this group eludes me!
Finally, regarding your political screed-ette—I seem to recall making a very convincing case for your liberalism some time ago, although it’s possible that I’m confusing you with another cookie cutter tpanther clone.
