There was a context. You should follow the discussion (especially since she quoted you).

Being the thorough guy I am, I checked back and didn't see content that addressed my question that I missed. But, I will try harder to follow along.

Ha ha ha... that's not how it works on a PUBLIC message board.
If I address a poster referring to 'Christian seeker' when yours is not, am I speaking to you? No, I didn't think so.

If you have no intention of contributing properly to the thread, then why are you here?

She's a Christian-Seeker, so what? My question was meant to be why do you care what her faith icon is.

I can ask a question if I want to, you don't have to answer, but you can't tell me I can't ask a question.

According to many other Christians, yes I do. I have been told that I'm not a Christian a number of times.
Let's me set the context since it seems to be missed.
Well, doesn't address the question I posed, but that's ok.

In the end, everyone on earth believes wrongly, according to groups of people who hold up their theology, as the correct belief.

As long as there is religion, this reality will never change.

This, so much.

You agreed that everyone believes wrongly. Do you believe wrongly?

Perhaps if you were the person addressed this would be simple to understand.

That would be good.

Maybe you are missing a bit of the context.

If Hetta agreed with my statement, she agreed with the fact that there will always be a group of Christians out there, that will tell you your belief is wrong.

Now, whether Hetta feels she believes wrongly, would likely be up to Hetta to decide, not those who claim she is wrong.

Hence, my question.

Who determines whether someone is contributing properly to a thread, on a public forum?
