I'm quickly coming to the conclusion that 2+2 forums isn't a place where you can discuss much of anything for all the sarcastic pot shots being taken from the safety afforded by a computer screen...

Welcome to the club. That's why I don't post much in this forum. It's usually a hopeless cause.

While the "sarcastic potshots" are definitely meant to be goofy, they highlight a point which the two of you seem incapable of grasping. The 'Han Solo' and 'cheeseburger' comments, for example, are using the exact same reasoning that you are. So, while Jesus was a nice guy, your argument is severely flawed, sorry. If you still don't get this I would recommend you read a book about critical thinking. Seriously. I can recommend a few if you like.

I could recommend you a good book too!!!

Oh, wait, lemme guess. You read the Bible allll the time but obviously don't take it to heart. But yet, by your own admission, you are the one who says that it wouldn't take much for you to become a born again believer. You say all of this while telling Christians that we're delusional, crazy, nut jobs, etc & offer to show us the light by recommending anti-christian books to read. How ironic.

I actually just got done reading Matthew because of something my friends and I were talking about at lunch. Not sure what you mean by "take it to heart" or what your point is.

I think that some of the people in these threads are crazy nutjobs, but I never made this assertion about Christians specifically. Jesus told his followers they should expect to be mocked for their beliefs and to ignore non-believers, stop being so emo about it.

How is a book about critical thinking anti-Christian? It doesn't profess any hate towards Jesus or the Bible. Would a coloring book about animals be considered anti-Christian too?

Also, I am not trying to "show you the light," just pointing out that when you defend your belief system with the worst logic and arguments imaginable it drives people away who would normally be open-minded to your message.

Add irony to the list of things you don't understand.

Was there a point in all of this? You are still ignoring the point I and others have made. i.e. that the MacGyver jokes are rooted in the same bad rationale that the OP is.
