Re^7: Wall quotes Wall

1) I am not an atheist.

2) I am not in the least bit ignorant of Christian theology.

3) I was not boasting about anything!

4) You are a typical arrogant Christer.

5) I'm also *deeply* bored with self-referential Christian apologetics or any religion that has to apologize for itself.

See ya!

The way forward always starts with a minimal test.

ok. I didn't call you an atheist; I simply said it was typical atheist rhetoric. You are ignorant of Christian theology if (as you claim) you "[n]ever heard the Christians' God described as 'humble'". Sorry, man. One doesn't have to go looking all that hard to find it. Why do you call me arrogant? I'm not a "Christer" at all. I was raised in it, and studied it intensely for many years. I'm not saying I'm "one of the great Christian scholars of our time"; far from it. But I know enough to know that a literal reading of the scriptures, stripped of cultural context, does not produce anything like good, classical Christian theology.
