What are you wrong about?

Wasn't there something about Jesus sort looking at Leviticus and Deuteronomy and going "Ain't nobody got time fo' dat?"

Also, anyone who eats pork (To paraphrase NPH, "It's not just for Jews anymore!"), has a tattoo (even a religious tattoo) or wears non-natural clothing is disobeying the Bible.

Idk if that's news to you but being Christian doesn't mean taking the bible word for word and believing everything it says?? Like, shocker, not everything in the bible happened the way it's written down, whodathought. Being Christian means believing in God (which, as already mentioned in this thread, we can't really prove to not exist) and charity. As you will find, most Christians learn how to view the bible critically and sorting out what can be translated into our modern-day life, and what should maybe be reconsidered. As well do most modern Christians keep in mind that the bible was written by humans over 2000 years ago and is therefore maybe not the most reliable source. Being Christian means to interpret the bible, putting it into historical context and living after that.

This is, what being a modern Christian means. What IS ironic however, is how you, who apparently deems every Christian to be the backward-conservative-Christian stereotype, falls into the superior-atheist stereotype.

*insert Smackdown gif here*

That being said, I think it's in the interest of everyone here to get back on-topic, or continue this discussion over in the Religion thread.

I never implied any of this, but whatever.

You act as if most Christians in today's society are full-blown fundamentalists.

Well, I won't fuel the fire.

What is the point of this topic if you can't discuss any matters when a poster says they are wrong about something?

You're a mod, right? Should you really be de-railing this topic further? Not my job to say you can and cannot but still.

If you lump together the opinion of everyone about anything you've argued ever, you will always be labelled wrong on all counts. The point isn't to accept that there's always going to be someone out there who despises you being different. The point is to prove your way of thinking is right above all the naysayers. This is done by building up your argument and letting go of issues you've lost to better logic, leaving yourself with a logically sound declaration of what you believe, instead of what most teens on the internet do for "arguing".

If someone argues something, gets proven wrong, and DOESN'T stop believing in that something, then you can adequately conclude that he's not wasting your time because he believes he's right. He's wasting your time because he just wants his way.

And now for things that are rude:

Are you saying that we're not allowed to question each other, including mods? If you wish to take this to PM and not here, I'll understand.

I am saying if you want to do that, then you need to adapt a better tone than what you've been slinging around in this thread.

I do expect people to not be passive aggressive when they have a problem with someone.
