I was referring to my exchange with Elendur post 206. Do you not understand what 'suppress' means?

If I have something to say and it gets deleted, that's suppressing the truth in my book. You might not consider it true, but I do, and I think other readers should have the right to judge for themselves. If I get banned or blocked for some reason, it hurts. Ask Sarah. When someone threatens to report me for breaking the rules, especially an agnostic, I get angry.

But what you say very probably is not "the truth". You may think it is, but you could clearly be wrong. If you break the rules here it does not matter if you are right or not your post can be deleted. It has happened to me more than once. And though I was right I will also admit that I did break the rules and I agreed, as did you to follow the rules here.

Why doesn't this make sense to you?

Even this statement is against the rules here. I know because I have been dinged for making very similar remarks.

Then I almost spoiled my post for twitting you for being angry that an agnostic had to point out how you were "sinning" here. Anyone can report a wrong. He said he was not going to. You should have thanked him for his kind warning. Too often I have been reported by people who had no tolerance of the "truth". You were lucky.

Seeing someone back down in one of these threads is rare. And it is usually me, because when I fudge up, I am not going to keep beating a dead horse for too long after I have realized I made an error. I think I have grown as an individual because of that; probably the most I have gained from being on here is more patience.
:thumbsup: it seems you and I have a lot in common.

It's quite worthless to discuss something if one is not prepared to be wrong.

Simple point, but very applicable to this board. This is why, I often ask another poster, is there any chance you could be wrong? If they say no, then you already know, they have already prepared themselves to use defense mechanisms to reject any and all evidence that goes against their belief.

Getting angry again I see. This is not good for you and seldom hurts the other person on a forum, only yourself.

Satan suggested to you that I get angry with people who do not agree with me. I said I don't. I said, 'Sorry I get angry sometimes' referring to my exchange with Elendur. I told you a number of times I'm not angry with you.

I believe in free speech.

Jesus believed in the flood. That's why I said all Christians believe in the flood.

I'm not saying you can't be a Christian if you don't believe in the flood. Anything is possible with God. But the fact is you're only serving Satan when you keep repeating this nonsense about getting angry.

No, you did when you said

Sounds a lot like you getting mad at Elendu because he did not agree with you using the "No True Christian" bit. In fact it sounded a lot like anger to me and you said you got especially mad because he said he was an agnostic.

I believe in free speech.
Unless someone disagrees with you then they are "serving Satan".

But if I disagree with you then I am serving Satan. How can one be a Christian if he or she is serving Satan?

Good grief, I have to ask are you really saying that I am serving Satan because I don't agree with you? I think that is a bit over the pale.

Somehow, you keep confusing your opinions with those of God. A bit of hubris wouldn't you think?

Satan doesn't speak to any of us. And that makes sense, given that the presence of a devil would be pretty close to as convincing of the presence of god as seeing god myself.

Atheists serve no deities, evil, false, good, neutral, whatever. If I saw Satan and knew it to be Satan, that being would regret revealing itself.

I guess you missed the part about Jesus believing in the flood. How do you account for that? Just curious.

Jesus used poetic language all of the time. I see nothing about Jesus saying the he believed in the flood. I can see him using the "Flood" to describe the actions of Man.
