"I seem to recall your unashamed Christian bashing on countless other threads"
Nope. You must be thinking of someone else. I never bash Christianity. As for the post you mention, I do not remember why I contacted the moderators. It was not because it dealt with Christianity, though. You'll forgive me...I post in many threads.
I believe that Christianity is a fine religion. I do not share that belief, but I know many who do. Christianity has been one of the most influential religions ever known, and the teachings of Jesus, as recorded in the New Testament are among the wisest of all religion's teachings.
My comments in this thread are about a movie, not about Christianity. This film promises to be an excellent one, one that portrays the dedication of Christian missionaries to a primitive tribe. Dedication that leads to the deaths of several, followed by more dedication by others.
I am angry that some are recommending that the film be boycotted because one cast member is a homosexual. That's just silly. The film is what the film is...a powerful depiction of the dedication of a group of Christians to spreading the Gospel. That's something Jesus called on his followers to do. What Jesus did not call on his followers to do was to revile others. Jesus did not call for boycotts of things, he called for love for all men.
The actor's homosexuality is not portrayed in this film. What is portrayed are people doing what Jesus taught them to do.
I do not bash Christianity. If you can find a post where I do that, then copy it here. I sometimes bash hypocrisy done by individual Christians. But then, I bash hypocrisy done by anyone, regardless of their religion.
I happen to think that "End of the Spear" is a film likely to bring a lot of people to think about what Christianity really means. Christians should be celebrating this film.
I'd love to go through your posts and point out where I am absolutely 100% correct, but it seems that you write around 3,000 replies PER MONTH so I'll have to settle for what I have found and not the exact instances I was thinking of.
If you can find a post where I do that, then copy it here.
Here is a bash of the theory of intelligent design written by you:
Hmm...a class on I.D.
Prof: Good morning, and welcome to the first Intelligent Design 101 session.
[shuffles papers]
Prof: God Did It!
[puts papers in briefcase]
Prof: Thank you for attending. All students will receive an "A" for this class. Class dismissed.
And some snottiness to the mix:
I know! I know! God was distracted by a cell phone call when he designed those two. I mean...you can't expect him to pay 100% attention all the time. Yeah, no slight there. It's even worse in the context of the thread. I have also seen you on a few occasions dismiss someone's ideas because they were based on the belief of a "sky god" or some such nonsense.
But typically, you like to disrupt a thread by pointing out spelling and grammar errors, going on and on about Atheism like some Godless missionary or promoting, defending and excusing behavior and that are antithetical to Christian mores (read the thread above) while people are trying to discuss the culture wars and Christianity's role in it.
What really chaps me, though, is after sifting through your post history and reading your self righteous, long winded atheistic platitudes is that you have the oats to pretend to know what was and is in Jesus's head.
People can take off their WWJD bracelets now because all we have to do is ask MineralMan, the self proclaimed Godless Atheist.
You have no shame, sir.
I no longer have an interest in anything you have to say. Your "admission" that you have respect Christianity is nothing more than a mask for your true intent on threads like this one. Your claims of Libertarianism is nothing more than a way to excuse your rude, disruptive behavior and I tire of it.
SO, enough with you. We're done here.
