No I didn't. You are lying again Fetchmyjunk.

Dear me.

Well that explains a lot.

Good, does that mean you are satisfied now?
Time to go on your forum sabbatical yet?

As in "immoral"? No, of course not. Don't be daft.

By 'all the other people' in obviously mean 'the other people that had the same faith as you had'.

So how would you describe or define Christian fellowship?

I said:
"If he is as transparent as you claim he is why won't he share what specific 'events', 'experiences' or 'discoveries' lead to this loss of faith?"

You said,
"You are conflating "transparency" with privacy. What anyone in here is prepared to discuss is always a balance between being honest and what one is prepared to share on an internet forum."

Actually now you have peeked my interest, and I might have to put that sabbatical on hold for a while.
Did you meet before or after joining the forums, and how long have you known each other?

An occasion when two or more Christian spend time together to uplift each others faith.

Correct; but you tried to make out I said this:

Which is a lie.

Obviously I was paraphrasing, those weren't your exact words. What else could you possibly have meant?

It's piqued not peeked.

How did you become a Christian?

If you are not smart enough to figure it out then I'm afraid it's tough-titties old chap.

Is this a serious question or do you just plan on trolling again?

You are just a troll.

So when I mentioned my experience of Christian fellowship, why did you "paraphrase" it as "Believing something simply because all other people do and for no other reason is just following the crowd"? Why didn't you "paraphrase" your own experience of Christian fellowship the same way as you "paraphrased" mine?
