> [@MrDibble](#): > > Not that I think you _were_ genuinely curious, because your posts just now show you were _already_ primed to view their post in a hostile light. Recreational outrage, from a Christian??!!? Say it ain’t so! Of course, it’s not like my pastor complained about no Christian Christmas stamps while using Our Lady of Guápulo as an example of heathens celebrating the winter holiday… ---

You rolled for reading comprehension. How have you critically failed multiple times in one thread? ETA: To clarify, I’m pointing out that you went into the discussion looking to be upset. So did my pastor. You’re both whiny twits that prove **HMS\_Irruncible** is right, while expecting them to reengage with you after you call them an ignorant bigoted person. ---

You are, of course, free to call me a whiny twit, especially in the Pit. But I neither expect nor want HMS\_Irruncible to re-engage with me. ---

> [@MrDibble](#): > > That you were “genuinely curious” after their first post, I thought I made that clear? I was curious. That’s all. I think that, in the Pit, as opposed to other forums, you’re allowed to call me a liar, so go right ahead. You can do it, since your accusation of lying is really just a statement of opinion and so irrefutable. But you’re wrong. ---

All Christians are the same, right? That is just not a reasonable interpretation of what they said. They said they didn’t know, and aren’t going to try and find out. And told you that, if you wanted to find out, you could go check for yourself. It’s not fair for you to attack them for a position they didn’t actually take. Your interpretation is in complete contradiction to their actual words. That’s why it was not clear to anyone why you were upset, including at least two Christians (me and Chronos). ---

You’re just wrong. My asking if the poster meant all Christians was a fair question. But I’ll give you the “chip on your shoulder” thing. Both when it comes to religion (here at the SDMB) and this particular poster. ---

Holy shit, folks, this thread is about Dark Sponge’s idiocy. ---

> [@BigT](#): > > That is just not a reasonable interpretation of what they said. They said they didn’t know, and aren’t going to try and find out. Actually, it’s a perfectly reasonable response. And the poster didn’t say “I don’t know,” he/she/they said “don’t give a shit” Those are quite different things. I mean, I’m sure the poster will appreciate you retconning his/her/their response, but that’s what you’re doing. And if it’s not clear to you why I’m upset, well, I don’t care. I was. It was clear to me. ---

You’re right. OK, Dark Sponge’s thing about “forbidden” parts of the Torah was just bizarre. And possibly anti-Semitic, but the statement was so incomprehensible that I can’t even begin to figure out what was in his mind. And there was some side trip about Messianic Judaism. Who are, admittedly, a bunch that’s hard to pigeonhole. The whole thing was baffling. ---

Look, I’ll explain this to you as I would a very young, brain-damaged child. When I say “Christians can be fucking morons” (as I now do), in the English language, this means “some Christians can be fucking morons.” It does not mean “every single last Christian is a moron.” So take your dimwit thin-skinned bleating and fuck off into space, but thanks for adding one more data point to the “Christians are fucking morons” theory. ---
