I'm sorry that you didn't like me pointing this out to you but you have a tendency to do this n threads where you have little or declining interest in the topic.
"Can you please not take threads off topic...." Divegeester.
Thanks.

Shall we do a quick tally up?

Why would I read a thread where vivify said something he was later compelled to start another thread just to apologize for?
There just isn't sufficient motivation for me to do so.
Originally posted by vivifyI think if you just portrayed a modicum of intellectual honesty about your thread, instead of this ridiculous boo-hoo routine, you might find a little more credibility coming you way instead of just the FMF haters using you as means to get at him.

Originally posted by divegeesterI asked FMF to stick to the point of the OP and he ignored, deliberately, multiple times, and he ignored it; yet you attack me. Hmm.

Please take your own advise about "intellectual honesty", because that's clearly not being displayed by you.

Originally posted by vivifyYour OP proposed that you reprise your role as a (now ex) Christian and defend the faith you once adhered to. FMF asked you several on topic questions about your Christian beliefs and you had a hissy-fit claiming his questions should be about the bible. When asked by me, you have failed to give one example of a thread where biblical topics were discussed without the nuance of the believers personal filter; it just doesn't happen.

Originally posted by divegeesterI said very clearly that I'd defend a biblical topic as if I were a Christian. You're deliberately ignoring that part, and deliberately being obtuse. I even kindly clarified this for FMF, and he rudely continued to ignore my request for him to stick to this idea.

You have a problem to so vehemently defend someone who was obviously rude.

You asked for "tough questions" and pussied out at the first salvo.
