What is a 'true Christian'?

Of multitudes of translations and interpretations. Also, there were a lot of christian books that never made it into any canon that were treated as scripture for hundreds of years. Some of these non canon books have been treated as scripture for almost 2000 years by some churches.

Was it? What were the versions existing at that time? Biblical literalism and inerrancy are fairly recent phenomenon. As a matter of fact current inerrancy beliefs date from the 1970's. Historical the vast majority of christians have accepted a lot of the bible as allegory.

I guess this speaks volumes. If I were talking about you or other fundies I would state this. I guess that is the difference between an atheist world view and a fundie world view. How are you different than Islamic fundies who preach hate? I don't doubt this. I would bet the vast majority, if not all, are professed christians, not the atheist that you accuse of doing this. You really need to get a grip on reality. Belief doesn't seem to have helped with your addiction issues. Maybe facing reality will. I don't remember the specifics but a governor once said when increasing education funding that they had already tried ignorance and it didn't work. I see something similar with you. You embrace love toward those that fit your worldview. As you have stated you can hate those of us that threaten that world view. Why is that? Honestly, I think you are a pompous fool but I can think that and still like you. The idea of hating you in any way is impossible for me to even conceive.

Oh I can hate. That is not what I was saying. I just cannot conceive of caring enough about someone I debate with on the internet enough to hate them. Nothing Phat says has enough effect on me to make me have much emotion toward him at all.

I wasn't talking about everyone, just myself. The internet is just a part of life. I have much more important things that i care much more passionately about. If you start hating people you never met because of something they said in an internet debate, then maybe it is time to reassess a number of things.
