4. They think the same about atheists

It’s not a new idea, it’s just they have newer targets for their hate.

Lots of Christians think non-Christians are tools of the devil.

We have a regular here who calls his detractors “deceiver” which is code-speak for the devil.

The idea is if you aren’t with them, you must be against them and working for the other side. Many of them are indoctrinated with these warped ideas from childhood.

From this thread:
https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1218&pid=309908

The claim by MN, an obvious one, is that this unspecified "regular" calls his detractors deceiver.

Your first link leads to this response to MN, by me,

The deceiver might have put that thought into your mind.

It is obvious from a reading that the deceiver does not refer to MN, but to an unnamed entity which might be deceiving MN.

So MN's claim is incorrect, and unsupported.

So that should end the matter.

Self-awareness is essential. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #56

Yes, many do. MineralMan Mar 2019 #63

In your room? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #70

Or they are and don't care Major Nikon Mar 2019 #65

Are you aware of your own behavior, gil? trotsky Mar 2019 #66

One might ask the same question of many here. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #71

You are the only one here who seems to lack self awareness. marylandblue Mar 2019 #74

A meaningless point. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #75

Case in point. Your headline claims the point is meaningless. marylandblue Mar 2019 #76

Diagnosis from a distance is so prone to error. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #77

Good, because I didn't make a diagnosis from a distance. marylandblue Mar 2019 #78

Use that need to analyze and write on why you feel that there are so few theists who post in guillaumeb Mar 2019 #83

Why do you need turn comments into "need?" marylandblue Mar 2019 #89

You cannot be completely insane. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #92

Well thank you for affirming my sanity. It means a lot to us nuts. marylandblue Mar 2019 #94

Walnuts are my favorite type of nut. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #95

But I asked you. trotsky Mar 2019 #80

I did, yes, in an obvious satirical way. MineralMan Mar 2019 #33

And my responses that you linked to were also obviously satirical. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #43

Here are your links: MineralMan Mar 2019 #17

You obviously missed the point, guillaumeb Mar 2019 #18

I missed nothing. MineralMan Mar 2019 #19

You have much faith in your ability. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #21

You are the one who claims to have faith. MineralMan Mar 2019 #24

I know, huh? MineralMan Mar 2019 #31

Were there more? Lordquinton Mar 2019 #36

There were only two, but I only went back to 2018. MineralMan Mar 2019 #37

More claims. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #44

Uncontested claims Lordquinton Mar 2019 #51

Unsubstantiated claims. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #59

.. MineralMan Mar 2019 #61

I experienced the same pattern Lordquinton Mar 2019 #52

We're not the only ones to notice that, I'm sure. MineralMan Mar 2019 #60

Some decline to post here, due in part to the toxic responses guillaumeb Mar 2019 #67

You aren't the only ones to notice. Mariana Mar 2019 #99

They are based on a misreading of the posts. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #39

Please explain how it's a misreading. Lordquinton Mar 2019 #50

Do you know the difference between the words "deceived' and "deceiver"? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #58

Here are the links again. They are someone calling someone the "deceiver" MineralMan Mar 2019 #62

I hate to point out what should be obvious, but... guillaumeb Mar 2019 #68

And they respond with "it's only a joke, bro." trotsky Mar 2019 #53

Yes, I know he knows. MineralMan Mar 2019 #35

More hyperbole. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #40

And more cryptic one sentence replies. MineralMan Mar 2019 #42

True. eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #45

Looks more subliterate than cryptic Major Nikon Mar 2019 #48

Hypobole... MineralMan Mar 2019 #49

I still remember your rather interesting definition of the word "apologia". eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #57

I didn't define it, so you remembered someone else Major Nikon Mar 2019 #64

You misused it a few times. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #69

You are full of shit Major Nikon Mar 2019 #72

That's dishonest, g. trotsky Mar 2019 #82

Laughable. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #85

No, he didn't. trotsky Mar 2019 #86

In that case, you share in the misunderstanding. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #88

I understand your need to believe that. n/t trotsky Mar 2019 #91

No he accused you of doing something indefensible. marylandblue Mar 2019 #96

That word doesn't mean what you think it means Major Nikon Mar 2019 #47

Okay MM. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #73

You might want to follow your own advice, Gullible Major Nikon Mar 2019 #79

Very interesting. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #84

If you replace "apologia" with the synonym "defense" the meaning doesn't change, Gullible Major Nikon Mar 2019 #90

Now "MM" is Major Nikon? MineralMan Mar 2019 #81

I'm pretty sure you aren't worried about it either way... trotsky Mar 2019 #87

No worries Major Nikon Mar 2019 #93

I agree with 2/3rds of your statement. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #97

OK, Gullible Major Nikon Mar 2019 #98

I call it refuting your claim. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #101

True. guillaumeb Mar 2019 #104

Well, they could just be typos. Or not. They could also MineralMan Mar 2019 #100

Do you have specific links? guillaumeb Mar 2019 #2

I just search trunews on youtube and find many shows with this slant bobbieinok Mar 2019 #4

Not all Christians accept the "end days" scenario. eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #5

The fact is True Blue American Mar 2019 #13

There is that as well. eom guillaumeb Mar 2019 #15

I'm not a Christian but, safeinOhio Mar 2019 #16
