    You should be deeply ashamed of yourself.
    Your posts never demonstrate any love towards Christians.
    Your posts never demonstrate any kindness towards Christians.
    Your posts never demonstrate any empathy or sympathy towards Christians.
    Your posts are filled with bitterness and unhappiness and hostility.
    Your posts are usually snide snippy short hostile assaults against Christians.

    It is clear from your hate filled posts that you hate and despise
    Christians and that you will say whatever is needed to trash
    Christianity and trash Christians.

    You ought to be deeply ashamed of your posts attacking Christianity.

    You were criticised and apologised for this kind of rhetoric in a previous thread (again by a fellow christian) yet you have resulted to this again, when I showed you to be wrong. If you apologised then why do you do it again, its boring and repetitive for other posters and easily identifiable as insults and deflection.

    False.
    Your post are filled with Falseness.
    Your posts are filled with HATE for Christians.
    Your posts demonstrate that you DESPISE Christians.
    You will say anything that feeds your HATRED of Christians.

    You should be deeply ashamed of yourself.

    It was written to Christians.
    I did not get in anybody's face with my Opening Post.
    There was nothing about my opening Post that in any way
    was an insult or hostile to a single soul.
    However it provided you with another opportunity to
    write hateful bitter hostile posts against Christianity
    and the Bible. You should be deeply ashamed of yourself.

    The above is from your opening post.
    You do not think that the line from your opening post is not snide and designed to get in atheists face, shame on you for not telling the truth again!
    Then you add this snide and petulant remark in your opening post!
    Do not be so transparent in your snide remarks if you do not wish to be called out on them. It really is most amusing and other posters can judge whether you are a liar or not!

    You dishonestly failed to include the insults directed at me from your "friends."

    Moreover I am the lone Christian that post in this Religious Department of
    the Forum so far as I know and you and your little band of "friends" delight
    in your hateful insults. Do you really think I care what YOU and your little
    unhappy band of atheists think about me? I wear your HATE as a badge
    of honor.

    Please feel free to list the insults directed at you by myself, it will be interesting and people reading the thread can judge better.

    You are not the only christian that posts in the religious section of the forum again people can read this post and the other threads to discover if you are a liar.

    You wear an imaginary badge I do not hate you, I pity you that you can only deflect and insult.

    Other posters can judge and see if you are a liar or not.

    Of course your little tiny band of atheists will side with you.

    They will, I am more than happy to encourage this.
    Atheists tend to seek the truth wherever it leads them, so they may well side with me as will the many honest christians who write on this board.
    You pity me because of your insults that you directed at me, stop making them then!

    This is a tactic often used by fundamentalists and I do distinguished them from the vast majority of honest Christians. It is quote mining, you have failed to put in the relevant link that you refused to read and do not understand what you have posted, again most amusing. More amusing since I have already pointed out your error but you continue to post what you know to be wrong. Fundamentalist have done this with such great minds as Einstien and Darwin, I am honored that you put my relatively pathetic ideas along side them!

    Still the above quotes prove the point made by an honest christian poster that the vast majority of Christians believe the bible is the inspired word of god and not the literal word of god.

    You claimed that the difference between inspired and literal is only a nuance, well here are the definitions to help your english comprehension.

    literal
    /ˈlɪt(ə)r(ə)l/

    adjective

    taking words in their usual or most basic sense without metaphor or exaggeration.
    "dreadful in its literal sense, full of dread.
    of a translation) representing the exact words of the original text.
    "a literal translation from the Spanish"

    inspired of extraordinary quality, as if arising from some external creative impulse.

    Quite clearly not a nuance!

    I have told you before I am not interested in you, only your arguments, but you have used your feelings over and over in order to get personal even to the point of pretending to know what I feel such as hate!

    If you respond please try to do so by addressing the arguments and not myself. This is fast becoming another thread ruined by your personal attacks.

    Your HATE filled Falseness is mere words on a screen.
    Post anything you want to post.
    Who cares.
    Do you really think it matters what you and your little tiny
    band of atheists here in this thread thinks about me.
    One in your little tiny band of atheists in this thread called me a Troll.
    because I am a Christian and he did not like the content of my Opening Post.
    Another one of your friends in this thread implied that I was an idiot.

    Ronald,
    Your post are filled with Falseness.
    Your posts are filled with HATE for Christians.
    Your posts demonstrate that you DESPISE Christians.
    You will say anything that feeds your HATRED of Christians.

    You should be deeply ashamed of yourself.

    Again you can only reply with your emotions and insults and you cannot list the insults you accused me of making. Every post you make encourages me to expose the truth of a fundamentalist.

    You are blathering incoherently - lashing out against reality - twirling around in a circle wailing "You know Nothing" "All your posts are amazingly kooky weird and foolish"

    You have nothing that backs up your claims - and when evidence to the contrary is presented - such as the statistics shown to you in a previous Post by Ron - which clearly back up the claim that most Christians do not believe in talking donkeys.

    You wail and scream " You posted falseness" - but you have presented zero to back up this claim - or even attempted to refute "Evidence" to the contrary.

    You can't keep on one thought - in a desperate game of avoidance ... of the fact that you have failed to justify a literal interpretation of scripture - and state "which Bible" is the correct version - the entirety being God's written word.

    Excellent you have now posted a link that proves Giftdones remarks.

    Christians, who make up a majority of U.S. adults (71%), are divided over how to interpret the Bible. While about four-in-ten Christians (39%) say the Bible’s text is the word of God and should be taken literally, 36% say it should not be interpreted literally or express another or no opinion. A separate 18% of Christians view the Bible as a book written by men, not God.

    So by your own link 54% do not believe that the bible is the literal word of god, and of course your poll predates the poll I posted!

    Laughable nonsense - there is a difference between believing that the Bible contains God's word - and believing that every word is the "Literal word of God" - and that talking donkeys are real.

    Only on the extreme end of the religious spectrum do we find Christians that take such fairy tales literally - along with a host of other fables that do not pass the giggle test.

    How did that Spectacled bear manage to swim from South America and back - leaving no trace of its journey. Odd that we have never found a kangaroo bone anywhere but in Australia don't you think.

    Now I grant that there is a significant percentage of irrational people out there but, rational people do not take all these stories "literally"

    The poll does actually break it down into those that believe in the bible being the literal word of god and others, 39% believed it in 2014 whilst 54% did not believe the bible to be the literal word of god. This poll was published in 2014 compared with 2017 in the poll I quoted. Numbers who believe in the literal word of god have been falling since the 70s so it is reasonable to project that the number who do not believe in the literal word of god is even higher than the 68% in 2017.

    Correct is exactly right.
    I told you I am NOT going to pay any attention to your absurd
    nonsensical distinction between "inspired" and "literal."

    The whole issue depends on what is meant by both the word
    "inspired" and the word "literal."

    Nobody with any sense at all takes the Bible literally on everything
    it says.

    If we take the Bible "literal" we have to conclude that King Herod
    had 4 legs and a bushy tail. How so? Because Jesus called
    King Herod a fox. He said in Luke 13:32 "Go and tell that fox."

    "He replied, "Go tell that fox, 'I will keep on driving out demons
    and healing people today and tomorrow, and on the third day
    I will reach my goal.'__Luke 13:32

    Jesus clearly meant that King Herod was crafty like a fox and
    not that King Herod WAS a fox. But Jesus SAID that King Herod
    WAS a fox. So we do not take the Bible literally on everything it
    says.

    So?

    So if you mean by the word "literal" do the vast majority of Christians
    believe King Herod had 4 legs and a bushy tail, then no the vast
    majority does not believe that.

    But if you mean by the word "literal" that the Bible is the inspired
    and the true word of God, then yes a vast majority of Christians
    do believe that.

    So it all depends on what one means by the word "literal."

    What is really laughable nonsense is your ridiculous pathetic
    absurd claim to actually KNOW what is in the minds of the world's
    2.3 billion Christians about what they believe about the Bible.
    You do NOT know.
    You can NOT know.
    Gallop does NOT know.
    Pew does NOT know.
    Polls are not accurate.
    2.300,000,000 people is a huge number of people.
    Remember that poll that predicted Hillary was
    going to beat Trump. It was reported as a certain victory for Hillary.
    You can posts you little polls all you want. You do NOT
    know what you're talking about. But don't let that stop you..

    You mean you are not going to take what the absurd nonsensical dictionaries of the english language distinction between inspired and literal mean! Hilarious you are going to make up your own language now!

    Which is exactly what your fellow Christian has been saying for three or four pages and you have been arguing about. I could not make this stuff up!

    Wow just wow! I did think from the beginning you were having trouble understanding english and now you have pretty much confirmed it!

    Perhaps now you and giftdone are in agreement you can answer his other questions!
