Reasons I am not a good "christian" by CC standards

You just went out of your way to make a big post to tell everyone they are wrong, and should stop telling you you're wrong because it's wrong to tell others that they are wrong. Then tell them that what they say and do is wrong simply because that's your opinion. That you don't care about making any friends, and are just here for selfish reasons. But also complain that you have no friends and no one understands. Perhaps going out of your way to tell everyone 'screw you', telling them they are all wrong for... everything they do, all while making hypocritical statements could be part of the problem? Just food for thought.

I had to read through this a few times to get it to make sense. Wow. Bullet points would have helped.

Where have I ever complained about not having friends? I celebrate the fact. Quit putting words in my mouth. All of you. I am well aware of what I write since I am the author. I'm not responsible for what you read into it though. That's all on you. If people find me abrasive, they are free to not deal with me. It's really quite simple. Poking me with a stick won't help. Until I hear otherwise from the administrator or moderator, I will continue to conduct myself as I have and you can all just deal with it. Whether I remain or am banned, it ultimately makes no difference. This place is but a distraction from the doldrums of my day and the burdens of it day in and day out.

Maybe instead of individually driving by throwing out your two cents, you could do something useful? How about starting a petition to have me banned if you're so offended by my conduct? That would at least be something useful. You'd get further with that than with what you all have been doing the past couple of days. Maybe you just like arguing. Some folks are into weird stuff like that. Maybe one or more of you is chummy with the mods or the admin and you can get something done. Heck, organize like a mob and start reporting my posts if they are so inflammatory and make your feelings hurt. Do something.

Bravo RickyZ! You are one of the few here who responded that exhibited the ability to read and comprehend what you were reading before formulating your response. Could you give classes to other people?

I like the heck out of you. You understand the message I was posting. How refreshing.

Um, question. If you don't like these sites or the people on them, why are you on this site? Christians are called to be like Christ. God is love. Not pointless bickering. What happened to make you seem like such an unhappy person?

I don't love anything.

Having no love really should be an alarm to anyone if we have no love what do we have? Any bible believing Christians out there know the portion of scriptures that deal with people having all knowledge and wisdom and charity but they have no love? Just a little challenge to my brothers and sisters in Christ who know the Word of God.

1. Hate is not Christ-like, and gets expressed here too often. Guilty as charged. Kudos for not joining that fray, but bummer that it comes with the price of not loving.

2. God looks at hearts not affiliations. I know that there are individual Mormons and witnesses who are born again. While an assembly may have a particular issue (and God does deal with issues within an assembly), one must remember that there are those within that assembly that are none the less His.

3. We should only look down our noses at the ground, for we all have our sins.

4. I hate verse wars. Yes everything you believe should be based on scripture. But this game of I ante one scripture saying one thing, you call my ante with 2, I see your 2 and raise you a third... what I look at is, does it work? Like the tongues thing. Bicker scriptures all you want, at the end of the day have any saints been edified thru it like the Bible says would be? Got a whole list of them here who say yes. So ya, that you might out-verse me is meaningless. What does mean something is, when the boots hit the ground does it work as God described?

5. Gotta story about doctrines and denominations. Boo hiss.

6. I love farts and boogers. I try not to act all holier than thou, but some people put me in a mood to mess with them. That's probably not right either.

7. I suppose this goes back to the no love thing of item 1..?

8. Amen. Questions are made without intent to really consider the answer. You only learn if you're willing to consider the answers.

9. Just had a few with a guy who thought not agreeing with him was the benchmark for ignorance. I mean, I could agree with him, but then we'd both be wrong

10. Oh you ought to hear the story about 'denominations'. I think you'd like it. But this has been verbose enough already.

Besides, I wanted to put you in suspense... then tell you to 'deal with it'

You say you are not here for friendship. Are you here to make enemies? You attack anyone who disagrees with you or doesn't pity you.

It's also something people on the autism spectrum are told constantly. Neurotypical people see something is different, so immediately get into what the autistic person must be like and tell them what they think of them.

I don't know if Y-I-G is autistic, nor does it matter, but I saw what happened on that other post. He's a better man than I am, (figuratively speaking), for bringing this post here instead of playing the game on BDF ad nauseum. Keep this going on BDF and it's chalked up as just another BDF thread. Bring it here and maybe someone will listen.

Or, once again, tell him who he is without enough info.

You got chocolate in your peanut butter. That makes absolutely no sense. Shame you went to the trouble to type it out.

So the question is....do you consider yourself better or worse than others? Do you compare yourself to others? Do other people's behaviors affect your inner state? A wise person once said that if you live in the past you are depressed....if you live in the future you are anxious and if you live in the present you have peace.

Sane could be said of your response. But hey, if you want to continue further isolating yourself that's your business. At least have the decency not to complain about the consequences.
And a week ago you were complaining about not having friends and being misunderstood. Oops, guess I didn't put words in your mouth.

Worse than others. Much worse. I would say that, yes, I do compare myself to others, which I am sure most other people do as a check on ourselves and how we are doing. I try to avoid doing it too much because I see how far below bar I am in most areas. I've learned to accept this about myself though, so it doesn't have much bearing on my self-esteem. That is something that has been pretty isolated from other people because I can't wrap words around how I feel about the world, my place in it, my goals, and the like.

No, I do not attack. I have never attacked anyone. You mistake defense for attack. Do you feel attacked in this reply? If so, it says more about you than it does me.

How about starting a petition to have me banned

Posted in the vein of biting humor:

1. I don't have hate for any group. In order to hate something, you first have to love it. I don't love anything. Therefore, I don't hate anything. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

2. I won't throw the Catholic Church in the trash. Sorry if that upsets you. Deal with it. I also won't condemn the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Mormon Church, the Jehovah's Witnesses, 7th-day Adventists or any other group many of you like to bag on.

3. I don't think less of homosexuals, drug-addicts, adulterers, or any other group you think I should look down my nose at. Sorry if it upsets you. Deal with it.

4. I don't throw Bible verses around. Never have, never will. If I want to know what the Bible says, I will read it. If I can make my own point without needing to resort to shoving Scripture in your face, then I will make my own point. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

5. I don't have an opinion about doctrines. Many of them, I have no opinion because I have never looked into them. Many of them, I have no opinion because I think they are silly things to bicker about and don't serve any useful purpose. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

6. I have no interest in playing the whole 'I am holier than thou art" game that goes on. Those kinds of games stopped being entertaining in 3rd grade back when farts and boogers were still funny. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

7. I'm not here to make friends. I don't do friendships. I'm here to learn, to read, and to occasionally interact with people on my terms. On the flip side, I am not here to make enemies. You are free to dislike me all you want, and it won't make any impact on me. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

8. I get no joy or thrill out of having to explain myself because people can't bother to read carefully and comprehend what they are reading. It's a battle I don't care to fight. I've fought enough in my life. School bullies, combat in the military, two ex-wives, bosses, clients, and now strangers on the Internet. No thanks. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

9. I feel no need to advertise my views just to invite criticism from people I don't know nor respect. My views are mine, and I am under no obligation to defend them to you or anyone else. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.

10. My reasons for becoming a Christian are my own. What kind of Christian I am is no doubt vastly different than yours, and no doubt you are sure I am "doing it wrong". You are entitled to your opinion. Sorry if this upsets you. Deal with it.
