This thread has gone to the toilet.
It always does once mg enters. In this thread alone, he has called people liars, he has told IHQ that if he's not Christian he has no right to offer an opinion...

Not at all. You are the one disallowing their divine and supernatural abilities. You’re the one that doesn’t really believe in their Seership.
MG: And what I've saying, again, is that you are not the judge.
Are you a Christian? If you are, I think that is important to know. Why? Because I think that if you are you might come at this from a different perspective than if say, you are a secular humanist or an atheist.
In other words, why
is your opinion to be valued as being 'the truth' or to supersede someone else's? You seem to think you are coming from a place of authority. What authority?
The point was simply that IHQ was coming from a perspective that disallowed him to see things clearly from a believer's perspective. He was as a matter of fact saying that I:
Disallow[ed] their divine and supernatural abilities. You’re the one that doesn’t really believe in their Seership.
Which is, as a matter of fact, not true.
This is just one example of where others 'go off the rails' and I am obligated to speak the truth. Unfortunately, after a number of times doing this others resort to what we're seeing now.
I agree, this thread did go to the toilet, but earlier in the thread...if folks look back a ways...there was actually a good discussion going on. I get weary having to correct false assumptions and accusations such as this one I've just quoted that Marcus then uses out of context to try and create a strawman that goes counter to what I'm actually saying.
The problem, as I see it, is that often the critics see their opinions as being the bedrock of logic/truth without taking into account that believers also have something to say that also has its foundation in what a believer sees as logic/truth.
In some respects, again from my perspective, the secular critics often have a restrictive view of the world limited by their unwillingness to even entertain the possibility of there being a creator/God. This colors everything they do and say. Those that do believe, do so with faith, without knowing for sure...and are willing to accept that we don't know everything and are willing to accept that there may be a higher power that does.
That drives critics bananas, it seems.

MG
