How do you debate or discuss yourself when you only communicate by:
1. Using one word replies, like 'why?' or 'so.'
2. Copy and paste text not of your own design.
3. Quote the opinion of someone famous.
4. Quote the opinion of someone imaginary. (Child anon. Vivian)
5. Say you will reply later,....and never do.
Where in the above is your sincere attempt to debate or discuss anything with anyone?

It's as if you are absolutely determined to limit yourself to your present knowledge and opinions, and part of this for you is steadfastly not participating properly in any interaction where your "knowledge and opinions" are being subjected to scrutiny or disagreement.

They might say: religious morons are immoral. Or they might say: oh, I hate fundamentalist Christians and their counterparts in every other religion.
They do not say: I hate God.
They might hate the concept of a God, but think about it... Do you really hate the tooth fairy?

Christians can be hated the same as any fictional character.

Originally posted by shavixmirshavixmir, as a young boy I not only believed in the "tooth fairy" but also received small denomination coins under my pillow in the morning in place of my small teeth which were missing. My question for you: Is "God" one entity or a trinity of spirit beings with shared divine attributes?

This strategy gives the impression of someone who is insecure their beliefs and opinions.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyYou come across and being very insecure, but at the same time obsessed with death, and fear that your brittle self-image will be shattered by the scrutiny of normal debate. I can see why; you set yourself up as an ex-high level corporate sales and marketing executive but clearly have absolutely no idea about market share when questioned in the GF in your thread about RHP market share. I suspect you are insure about being found out in the spirituality forum in the same way.
"insecure"?
