I agree that @kwstzhaderbonch.bsky.social scarcely could be said to debate, @lexiconmood.bsky.social. He began attacking me personally *very* early in this little squabble.

We don’t know each other very well, but that doesn’t seem like them, tbh. Their pronouns are in their profile, by the way. It’s hard to imagine what you could be getting from this interaction that’s worth being invested in, though. Maybe this is the time to walk away?
I agree, @lexiconmood.bsky.social. @kwstzhaderbonch.bsky.social, you failed to make any sort of point, but you did perhaps reveal something worrying about yourself. I would...think on that. Do please forgive the intensity of my words; I get irritated by the usual rhetorical tricks of Christians.
This is the last thing I’ll say but my commentary is entirely about your behavior, I have no idea what you’re trying to say about Christianity. I’m a pagan.
Yes, of course. That's always the easiest thing to talk about, when a difficult question of theology has been broached in a less than elegant manner: the behavior of the most irritating person in the room. Surely this will resolve all our intellectual problems!
I was attempting to make a point about dead persons and historical events, @lexiconmood.bsky.social, and rather than deal with those, @kwstzhaderbonch.bsky.social started pretending that he knew what my *past* was all about. I'm familiar with that particular trick of evangelical Christian sophistry.
But @kwstzhaderbonch.bsky.social does not know anything about my past, @lexiconmood.bsky.social, and it is stupid to pretend that my intellectual difficulties with Saul of Tarsus were caused by a *personal problem*. But now I wonder if Ben has a personal problem. Why else bring up such a thing?
