Bro...who said anything about being brainwashed. Your're making your own extrapolation there. My friend.. Fine started a topic which we both contributed to. In fact you contribute to refute his claims. So if you are prepared to indulge in converstaion/ debate/ argument about said topic where does toleration come into to it. This aint about whether you have a right to follow Christianity. This is about the factual correctness of Christianity. Now it it hurts your sensibilities to hear Christianity being spoke about this way/ not my problem. If you want to discuss the points myself and the author of the thread brought up then its all good and Im happy to. In fact Ive started a thread on this related subject// our discussion/ and a recent experinece led me to ask the qusetion. So dont feel its no back door snipe at you. Because it aint.

But please meknow /dont beg victim status. I dont usually indulge in these types of discussion because I aint out to convert those who are firmly set in belief.

However if you want to discuss the finer points of our respective positions then I will be glad to indulge you. Such as the fact that 3000 + years ago our ancestors carved the story of the astronomical principle that was Heru in a temple/ before Jesus was even a name..you say prophecy.. I say.. who was they prophecising about. They were not speaking about any future revelation/ they were dealing with the origin of things in the present (their present). So dont see how it can be prophecy my friend.
