    Actually, I have--in my last post, and in the post before where you ignored the part below. But since you've offered no actual points, we're definitely done.

    Anyone should know that personal anecdotal experience is not sufficient evidence to speak for a group. And no, it does not--except the fundamentalists--hide a hidden shame or interpret scripture to find it, and most Christians don't go looking for it.

    What I mean is that you're making assertions instead of crafting an argument. Initially you made some arguments, which I responded to.

    I disagree, but again, we're making wide sweeping statements here.

    I have experienced Christianity this way, so it must be that way for everyone.

    No, that's been you, and you did it again in your quote above.

    See:

    I continue to generalize because you continued to generalized in the bold quote below. The only difference is my generalizations are accurate. Are your generalizations based on pew research data or something, or are they based on your personal experience? Because personal experience certainly wouldn't suffice.John Harris

    Yes, you can disagree, but you'd be wrong, and no childish--are you over 18?--emolji changes that.

    This is theologically true, but not really the case in the general zeitgeist of the faith, which is what I was commenting on. I already made the distinction later on in that post.

    As you've offered no actual points for me to address here.

    The main difference is my statements are true.

    And this isn't an assertion; it is a crafted argument. However, feel free to counter and show how the experience of one person can speak for an entire group.
