No, it doesn’t sound like that to you at all. You are merely reaching for something uncomplimentary to say.
See, you don't get to say how something sounds to me. I understand you have this--you should pardon the expression--god complex and all, but I'm the only one who gets to say what I hear and how to interpret it. And in fact, I was trying to be non-insulting while still saying what I meant. If I had been "reaching for something uncomplimentary to say", I would have decided on something nowhere near that mild.
As for the rest of your self-important post, tell it to someone who'll be impressed. I learned a long time ago there's no debating with someone who sees himself as an Oracle of TRVTH. Have a groovy life, dude.
“Does your god love you when you’re snide? :^)”
His love is much greater than my pettiness.
“See, you don’t get to say how something sounds to me.”
Yes, as a matter of fact, I do. Not only that, in this case I’m right. You see, when a person who does not appear to be either stupid or insane expresses a position that one would have to be stupid or insane to espouse, it is reasonable to conclude that he’s just flinging anything that comes to hand, in the hope that something will sting.
And since I was not calling the other fellow childish, but saying that he had demonstrated a child’s understanding of theology – which is very common these days, since so many people stop studying it in their early to mid teens – one would have to be stupid or insane actually to think that I was calling him childish for disagreeing with me. So, you see, I was paying you the compliment of thinking you careless rather than stupid.
“I understand you have this—you should pardon the expression—god complex and all”
No, you don’t. You just think it’s a cutting thing to say.
“but I’m the only one who gets to say what I hear and how to interpret it.”
What, you think you’re special? Some sort of inscrutable genius?
“And in fact, I was trying to be non-insulting while still saying what I meant.”
No, you were trying to be insulting while still maintaining a façade of civility.
“I learned a long time ago there’s no debating with someone who sees himself as an Oracle of TRVTH.”
That’s just a BS excuse you use to make yourself feel okay with running away from these issues.
“Have a groovy life, dude.”
We should be much more concerned with what kind of eternity we will have.
