No, I'm saying that you're holding Christianity to a standard that you don't adhere to or agree with.
Then you don't realise what pointing out hypocrisy is.
No, they are humans.
Again, not mutually exclusive.
They are hypocrites, picking the parts they want to pretend they are good, while actively ignoring the parts they don't like to attack people following that.
Just like you ignore the parts you don't like to attack ideas you don't like even though they are supported.
The secular globalists are hypocrites.
Why?
What holy book are they meant to be following?
@JackBlack, since you hold other people to a standard of perfection
And another lie.
Where have I ever done that?
Context is important.
And it doesn't help you.
It doesn't negate the idea of trying to help others, such as with globalism.
That's the same interpretation that a typical preacher just out of Bible college would make (that is, not a seminary trained one). It's a surface level reading of the text.
No, it is about an honest interpretation of the text, with you running for excuses to explain why you shouldn't help people and should be opposed to efforts to do so.
Notice how you don't actually show any fault with what I have said?
The condemnation is for after death. This is about learning to be prepared for that, when you will not know when it happens.
in what way do you have the right to accuse them?
Because I'm not a hypocrite.
Your failure to understand critical thinking could be why you never question why you are taught as a child.
Again, I do understand what it is. YOU are the one who appears not to.
You seem to want it to simply be rejecting what you are taught as a child.
That is NOT critical thinking.
Did you hear that?
Did you read it?
Notice how it is not just limited to what you have been taught.
So the idea that you weren't taught FE as a child so people can't reject it with critical thinking is just pure BS which itself is actually entirely absent of critical thinking.
you don't question it, I wouldn't say you've done any thinking
Again, there is a fundamental difference between questioning and rejecting.
For example one could question how the tides work with a high tide opposite the moon and question how that works with the moon allegedly being the source of attraction to cause the tides.
By applying critical thinking, you recognise the moon is not just attracting the water but all of Earth with a force which is inversely related to distance, so Earth, on average, is attracted some amount, the water closer to it is attracted more and will bulge out and the water further away will be attracted less and lag behind - effectively bulging out when viewed from Earth.
That is thinking critically.
Conversely, a complete lack of critical thinking is deciding you don't like the RE model and looking for pathetic excuses to reject it, like seeing a tide opposite the moon, boldly claiming that can't possibly work, and saying the RE model is wrong.
And there are plenty of other examples, and we can do the same for FE to show it doesn't work.
Again, I do question assumptions and think about things critically. That doesn't mean I reject them. Instead, that depends on if they can withstand that questioning.
If those questions can be answered in a logical manner, supported by evidence, then there is no reason to reject them.
What changed my mind? Well, this was when I was on Minds.com looking at an animation of the sun and moon moving overhead a flat Earth. And I remember thinking, "That's stupid." And then I thought again, "Why is it stupid? Am I saying that because I think it's stupid? Or because people have been telling me it's wrong?" And I realized that all my life, it had been the latter. So I started watching the sun, moon, and the sky.
And then displayed a complete lack of critical thinking by deciding to throw out reality and cling to BS, without any critical thinking of the situation.
A simple way to tell it is wrong is the sunset.
Do people change their mind from something then change it back? Not usually
Yes, usually they act more like you.
Decide they were wrong the first time and they must be right now, and then reject all forms of critical thought to stay entrenched in their beliefs.
It is much rarer, but not impossible, for someone to realise they were actually wrong when they switched, and so switch back.
This also depends on how well informed they are with each side.
If people haven't really gone into it much, and just accept reality because the majority do, it is likely going to be relatively easy to con them into believing BS that goes against reality, without them needing any critical thinking.
Then later, they can actually try to critically think about things, and reject it.
i.e. they were never really "convinced" of that first position. It was just a position they happened to have.
Perhaps one of the most common occurrences of this is with theism/atheism and other childhood beliefs of imaginary things.
Everyone is born an atheist, without any belief in a god.
But then they get conned by their parents or some other authority figure into believing the BS.
Then later on they can actually think about it and realise they were wrong, and leave it, going back to the earlier atheist position, but this time with them being less likely to get conned into theism.
The same can be said of all sorts of stuff kids believe as children, like the tooth fairy and Santa and the Easter bunny.
And look at people like you. You clearly did not understand the RE model. You didn't understand the evidence for it or why it is so wildly accepted by scientists that know what they are talking about.
Instead you decided you didn't like and decided to join a cult.
That is the story with basically all FEers.
The question then becomes then what?
You can try to actually apply critical thinking; to honestly evaluate both. And if you do, you find FE doesn't work while RE does. And this would cause an honest, intelligent person to admit they were mistaken and go back to accepting Earth is round.
So there are plenty of examples and plenty of reasons to accept people being in one group, leaving it for whatever reason, only to return later.
Someone doing that in no way indicates that they weren't using critical thinking to re-join, or that they were bullied into it, or any of the other convoluted BS you need to appeal to dismiss this very real occurrence of people rejecting the FE after being FEers.
