I think this will be my last post to you, Kylie. Remember the topic when we first started conversing? It was about God not responding to your demand that he make himself known to you, and if he wasn't gonna jump through the hoops then you'd simply refuse to believe in him.
And you said I was doing it wrong, and not once did you give me a clear alternative to follow. It was mostly you painting me as just another foolish atheist who doesn't really understand God.
I countered by suggesting that perhaps God already knows that even if he did make himself known to you, you'd not appreciate it. You'd find some excuse to continue disregarding his will for your life, thus making his efforts to prove himself to you useless.
And I very clearly told you on multiple occasions that I would not do that. And yet you decided you wouldn't believe me and repeatedly made the same claims. Thus deciding that your opinion of me was more accurate than what I was telling you repeatedly about myself.
I think that very same principle has been demonstrated in our back-and-forth. For example you said:
But, I did already give you some examples; when I asked you to either go back through the posts to find them or to try to remember, you said you were too busy with other things for either of those options.
Well, gee, I'm really gosh darn sorry I have a life outside of this website and that I'm not jumping at the chance to search through 750+ posts because a guy who has repeatedly treated me like a liar asked me to.
I further explained that I felt you were not properly listening or appreciating the contributions I made, and your response was to get angry that I was judging you.
No, I just asked you to either tell me where you gave me the information or to provide it again. You refused both.
When I suggested that you were judging me for judging you, thus doing the very same thing (i.e. judging) that you accused me of, you didn't seem capable of comprehending such a simple issue. You asked, "When did I do that" and then proceeded to do more judging of me in that very same post.
Yeah, how dare I call you out for being judgemental of me? What kind of horrible person is it who doesn't just allow people to sit in judgement of them?
There was a previous incident with the "ask Jesus into your heart" thing. You accused me of bringing that up suddenly as though it was some new argument I was dumping on you, so I went back through the correspondence and found 5 instances where I had commented on that issue extensively. In response you just ignored that factual detail.
You mean the bit where you just barged in on a discussion I was having with Iconoclast about him giving me what he claimed was instructions on finding God, me following those instructions, and then finding nothing?
As I've repeatedly told you, my beef with him was that he gave me instructions that didn't work, and when I told him they didn't work, he told me that I was doing something wrong and saying I should do it again. You came in, completely misreading that actual topic we were discussing (which was "Hey, Iconoclast, your instructions don't work") and instead made it about what you thought the right instructions should be.
Over and over again you simply are not listening to or thinking carefully about what I say to you. You move from one issue to the next without any resolution to my counter argument or even a recognition that I've made a counter argument.
What you say to me seems to be primarily you lauding it up about how you think I've got it wrong, you think you've got it right, and you refusing to tell me how you think I should do it right.
All of this is to say that you are not in the right frame of mind to hear from God. Even if he did deign to reach out to you, you'd simply not hear it. You would argue and fight and shift just as you've done with me here. You earlier suggested that what God really should do is to so completely overwhelm you with his power that you'd have no choice but that's not what he's looking for and it's a sad commentary on your own psychological/spiritual state that you'd think such an option is better than freely choosing to follow God based on the goodness of his character and other spiritual qualities.
Oh look! Once again you think you've got me all figured out! Here's the expert on Kylie, everyone!
And you wonder why I had a go at you for being judgemental.
