A game, huh? I guess I was right then. (or maybe left?) Ha!
This is part of what I implied in my initial posts about the American style Christianity, the need to convert, to convince, to win an argument, to win the game, the competition that is ingrained into American culture.
It is a race, yes, but deadly serious and not a game. Just because you have your beliefs and they belong to you, that doesn't make them right.
When I mentioned the exportation by TF of a type of Christianity as it is understood in America you wanted all kinds of definitions and categorizations. Why? I felt that you were being defensive. I understand why, now. You think that there is something inherently wrong in my statement.
Could you make that plain? Can you put it in words? Maybe we can agree on a few things, but maybe you are not really interested in that.
Do you think that I am so far away from what you consider correct that it is impossible for me to be right?
If your ad hominis attack above to Thinker is the best you can do, then you are indicating lack of interest in examining the topic. Prove me wrong, if you want. Otherwise just continue asking simplistic questions and negative comments that look more directed to the person than to the topic.
Peace.
