And yet you’re still arguing with someone who is a self-proclaimed idiot…you do get how bad that’s making you look right? By the way…for a teacher you should know that what I did wasn’t an ad hominem attack. For it to be an ad hominem attack I would need to be pointing out irrelevant personal characteristics. I’m not. I’m discussing relevant characteristics (specifically your lack of mercy, grace, kindness, and love…and your willingness to point out your perceived flaws in others while ignoring that you just did the same thing.) For a teacher you should know the distinction. The word you’re actually wanting to use would be critique or evaluation. Because while ad hominum means “to the person” it actually is only applicable if you are making statements about a person that don’t pertain to the discussion. Critique or evaluation is far more correct in use here because the statements do actually pertain to the discussion. Or to simplify…we are talking about your heavy-handed self-righteous approach to others so it is not ad hominem, for it to be ad hominem I’d have to discuss something that did not apply to the conversation at all like suddenly pointing out your choice in clothing or your hygiene practices, etc. As a teacher you really should know that…I’m an idiot and I knew it.
I could but I doubt you’d be happy about what they have to say…and let’s be honest…if your “teaching” is anything like your posts then you don’t teach you lecture…mostly ineffectually, but maybe I’m wrong and you’ve got a stack of teaching awards that dwarfs your self-righteousness, and that would be wonderful. But then the question bears asking why are you arguing with an idiot like me when you could be spreading the gospel…I guess that means you’re just as bad at wasting your platform as the dude you were complaining about…and apparently a hypocrite on top of it. Oh well…good luck with all that. Matthew 7:3-5. Now I’m going to go enjoy more comics, but you’re welcome to keep complaining about how people don’t do things exactly like you want them to…I’m sure that won’t be a long term source of frustration for you at all.
Well if your “evangelizing” is anything like your posts then my statement stands…it was zero. You didn’t communicate your ideas…you spouted them out with all the warmth of nails on a chalkboard…and they might have been in the room, but they weren’t actually listening. You can’t instruct the ignorant if you can’t get them to listen, nobody doubtful will listen to someone they can’t identify with, what sinner is going to listen to someone they don’t think cares about them, and you couldn’t even bear a comic strip so saying you’d bear wrongs patiently just means you’re deluding yourself, and nobody afflicted is going to come to you for comfort if your method is the theological equivalent of bopping them over the head. At least you can pray for the living and the dead because they don’t actually have to be a participant in that. So based on your posts I’d say you were batting 1 for 7 on that…if this was baseball they’d tell you to pick another sport. I just think you might want actually try Colossians 3:13-15…but if you want to be the brittle towards people you go ahead. I tried talking sense into you , but you do you babaloo..
So your answer was zero…got it. It doesn’t make me uncomfortable. It makes me sad that someone claiming to believe in God shows no mercy, grace, or love. You probably would have complained that Jesus liked to party too much. But haters gonna hate so good luck with that…
The only problem is that since he’s there the waiters are required to move extremely slow while acting like they are running…inevitably all the soups are cold.
Okay…so how many hundreds of people have you spread the gospel to that listened to you, because this dude has almost 16000 followers here and that doesn’t count all the people he’s spread the gospel to during his day job who actually go out of their way to hear him. I mean if you’re going to complain that he didn’t turn every moment into preaching the gospel then you might want to ask yourself how he’s spread the gospel so much more than you ever hoped to. The biggest secret to actually spreading the gospel is getting people to listen. So he makes you laugh and then you’re in a better place when he tells you about God. So in review…you want to tell someone that spreads the gospel to thousands how to do it while you may have told people, but if you tell them like you’re acting here then I promise you nobody listened.
He already does, but thanks anyway.
