But we are discussing josephw personally and directly aiming James 4:4 at divegeester, so this is about him ~ or both of them. I cannot ever remember divegeester claiming that everything was about him. But what we are discussing here clearly is.

A number of people in the lSt few days have been very kindly trying to help you. Soon they will probably stop, not out of loss of patience but because you simply won't pay attention.

Stop using words like "dodge@ and "deflect". You are making them meaningless.
Any time you want to address the topic instead of posting these condescending platitudes, please do so.

I am curious. If you saw somebody trying to land insults and score points against people they disliked using Bible verses, would you speak out against it?

For nearly 28 pages people, including me, have been addressing the issue.

Have you prayed about this? Have you asked God to open your eyes and help you to understand?

Have you ever seen Bible verses used improperly on this forum?

Have you prayed about it Startreader? Has God opened your eyes and given you understanding?

Every time you disagree with someone do you ask them if they have asked God for understanding?

Do you disapprove of Christians attacking other Christians on these forums?

What was the understanding about this that you gained from your prayers?

My prayers are between me and God.

Can you go as far as confirming that your God figure told you that josephw was right to wield James 4:4 in the midst of some innocuous General Forum banter?

Would this be an opportune moment to promote the benefits of atheism?

As an atheist, you will be immune to biblical insults. Internal squabbles will also be a rarity, rather than a daily occurrence.

Gee i don't know, Ive seen not a few atheists go head to head on these forums over the years but nothing quite as messy and undignified as divesgeester and FMF attempting to deflect, dodge and obfuscate their way out of this predicament.

Another transparent loaded question which assumes that Joseph was using the text as forum banter rather than in sincerity.
