Embarrassment to Christians

How you, a proven chess engine user, can go on about making claims about peoples supposed lies is simply bewildering. Do you have a mirror? If so i suggest taking a good long, hard look in it.

The only things proven was that your evaluation process is flawed and that
your opinion is irrelevant and irrational and not science.

You seem alienating and obnoxious yourself.

So the bottom line is you don't really want criticism you want affirmation.

I haven't been following your latest posts but, yes, I have been cringing in my heart with embarrassment at many of your utterances.

Humility is a Christian virtue in which you seem to be most lacking. Clearly, we do NOT have all the answers. Paul says we look into an unclear mirror, or "through a glass darkly". Glib one-liners are therefore not a the smug "so there, now I've really told you off!" face that you so often sign off with!

I have much humility in my approach to my awesome God and Creator, but not
toward non-believers and especially not toward atheists who attempt to belittle
the God and Creator of all the universe. If you are looking for my "brand" of
Christianity to show humility toward such people, you better think again or else
you will be on the receiving end of my harsh language. Maybe you should re-
evaluate your "brand" of Christinity and look harder at that reflection in that
"mirror" you were referring to.

Who in their right mind wants criticism? Sure anyone would rather have
affirmation. But a little constructive criticism would be helpful if it came
from Christian who know what they are talking about. I haven't heard any
of that so far.

Some people say that I am an embarrassment to the Christians on this forum.
There was one Christian in the past that said I should tone down the way I
present Christianity. I have made an effort to do that. Sometimes I forget.
However, I was wondering how many Christians look at me with embarrassment.

I suggest a good piece of Chrsitian [edit: Christian] advice is that you pray for insight into your behavior in comparison with:

the poor in spirit
they that mourn
the meek
they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness
the merciful
the pure in heart
the peacemakers
they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake

My only personal comment is that it is hard for a person to hunger and thirst after righteousness, when he is full of it.

And that which he is full of can be left to the imagination.

I guess you ignored the advice from your friend to tone it down.

No, I have toned it down for awhile. But that did not seem to help with the
atheist morons, who then look at me as a weak-minded jellyfish and accuse
me of all types of evil and hate me even more for the truth I speak or write.

For Pete's sake Ron, that's called being persecuted for righteousness' sake!

You keep telling yourself that Ron. 'Idiotic engine use' matches your idiotic postings.

Now, if you could, explain how the evaluation process was 'flawed'?

That Christian advice is good for all. However, your comment suggests that
think I am full of righteousness. I have the knowledge from the Holy Spirit
that I am far from righteous. I am a lowly sinner in need of Christ's saving
grace and only wish to share the good news that we all can be saved from
our sins by believing in the Lord and loving Him as He loves us. He that does
not honor the Son of God does not honor the Father, who sent Him. The
truth shall set you free. HalleluYah!!!

Why would I use my real name if I were a troll or fake persona? I think I am
smarter than that. In that case, I would probably use a made up name like
divegeester, VoidSpirit, Proper Knob, Dasa or maybe some initials like FMF.

Oh of course I forgot that you are really called RJHinds. Silly me.

Take your bleatings of persecution for 'your words of truth' to your buddy dasa spanky. Or maybe the JWs, they like to be persecuted for being a pain in the ass too.

Alternatively just realise that because you believe something and post it, does not make it true.

It was someone else that suggested the process must be flawed, I just agreed
with him. Maybe you should review both this and evolution and see where the
flaw is. I do not have access to your evaluation process so how should I know.
But for your information kingshill wrote me a message stating that according
to the evaluation being used practically everyone I was being compared to
must be computer engine users too, including himself. You did notice I was
beaten by several of the people. I did not have all wins and draws. And of
those 20 total of my best games the matchup rate was 65%, which on a
grading scale is a D and in some schools is not considered passing. So unless
this is being graded on the curve system, I don't even see how one could
suggest cheating without throwing in a little bias. Opinion is not science.

P.S. That means opinion is not proof in case you are slow to understand.

This is were you must use your mind and the Holy Bible to discern the truth.
This is were you do a very poor job, numbnut.

P.S. I see now more that ever that you guys need someone like me to set you
straight.

I can my early assumption of you is correct.
