Reply #27: No "Straw Man" Here [View All]

[Bloodblister Bob]

Dear Lerkfish - I am in no way "setting up a straw man argument". My observations about co-dependence/abuse in the Christian/God relationship is based upon experience. As I stated previously, I've spent a lot of time (probably way too much time) discussing and debating Christianity with Christians. At least they professed to be Christians, so I assume they were, and we know that Christians wouldn't lie.

I suppose the thing I enjoyed most about your indirect response to me was how you chided me for making a "value judgement", wishing to define believers as being "mentally and morally sick". This is amusing to me, as a nonbeliever, because the very essence of Christianity is the making a very big value judgement: All other faiths and belief systems are incorrect. Period. And let's not even get started about how "morally sick" Christians declare some people to be.

And as for not all Christians believing the same thing, and my making generalizations about Christians as a whole, etc., I can only say that with the dark and disturbing political climate in the US today, those who lie down with dogs definitely rise up with fleas.

In my opinion.
