"Why Christianity is NOT a Religion"

I'll leave it to the Suziannes of this world to fret over whether what they type "enhances" their reputation or not. I will just be frank, tenacious, and try to keep on topic, as I have been for years, and people can make of it what they want.

My comment to DeepThought (above) is related to the OP poster's unwillingness and/or inability to engage properly or sincerely any response to or discussion of the material he has typed/pasted. He has reproduced copious stuff which demonstrates that Christianity is a religion and has dodged talking about this when pointed out to him.

Suzianne's comment about "reputation" has absolutely nothing to do with "Why Christianity is NOT a Religion".

To which I replied; "Ditto".

My "ditto" to your comment has nothing to do with the exchange between you and Suzianne. Do you always have to be so squirrelly?

You said "ditto" to something I said in a direct reply to what Suzianne had said.

But the "ditto" was in direct reply to your post only. It was the content of your post and not its context I dittoed. 😕

It was not a comment, but a question to you about *your* reputation, not mine. Something you do indeed "fret" over, given your tendency to attack relentlessly without removing your jaws from your target, at least until you are "cornered" by your next target.

That you make a point to tell *me* (in third-person, no less... hmmm, who else does this?) that I'm off-topic is humorous. Do you see yourself as some sort of self-styled forum "law enforcement"? Is that why you mindlessly attack the same posters over and over and over again? Do you see them as somehow "divergent"?

I just read what people want to write and write what I want to write. I don't obsess over my supposed "reputation" in the way you obviously do.

The "it" in "I don't think about it at all" ~ part of the post you said "ditto" to ~ referred obviously and unambiguously to Suzianne's fervid commentary about my alleged "reputation". "I don't think about it at all" was the context of the post that you dittoed. 🙂

So, you don't want to answer the questions. You're lucky I'm not obsessing over it the way you hound GB to the ends of the earth.

It might be nice, though, if what you wrote had some connection to what others write, besides your usual preening behavior.

That's obvious. I don't obsess. Your continual, constant attacks on every single GB post shows that your obsession is huge. I respond to what others write. I don't concern myself with my appearance in the forum as you do. This is why I often leave myself open to attack by unbelievers, I'm not thinking about it. Everything you write seems crafted to dodge potential nay-saying.

I support your right to post whatever you want to post. 😉

I don't think about your reputation at all either. As a Christian my concern is for your soul. You, not some persona!

When you said, "I just read what people write and write what I want to write", I thought more positively about that, and I dittoed.

You needn't always take exception to everything one says.

I don't think I've ever "taken exception" to anything you say. Why would I? I don't agree with some things you say, I find some things you say inconsistent or incoherent. Is that what you mean by "taking exception"? I just read what you write and respond. Bog standard message board activity. I don't need you to like what I say. Both you and Suzianne in recent posts have been trying to project motivations onto me which are figments of your imagination. Your behaviour - both yours and hers - is interesting.

Wouldn't you say you're being a bit defensive?

Doesn't seem to be much one can say to you without it becoming an interrogation.

Me defensive? Not at all. Forthright and tenacious if anything. Not defensive at all. Evasive, waffling, or pompous purveyors of half-baked ideas might feel a bit 'interrogated' from time to time.

Are you on the 'Christianity is NOT a Religion' side or 'Christianity IS a Religion' side?
