Because I like to express and enforce my beliefs. It's the same reason people have debates, it's interesting.
No, I am only defending Lutheranism because your Christian beliefs are very different from it and all other denominations I've been a part of. When you're debating someone/discussing a topic, you need to know what you're arguing against.
I have no idea what I'm arguing against, so I can't provide you with sources you'll trust which makes it very difficult to have a conversation.
Exactly, I believe my experience with Christianity is representative of the religion so of course I will view Christianity in the way I've experienced it. If you would explain your beliefs clearly, I could discuss them in the way you view them, not something completely different from your beliefs.
So can you explain what you're doing? Because your version doesn't fit anything I've heard before. I can't make an argument against you if I have no idea where you stand or what you believe.
Nah, I'm pretty confident in my beliefs. Sexism, racism, and homophobia in the church just convince me even more that it's a man-made religion used to justify hatred.
Nope, I'm 100% an atheist despite your desperate attempts to gaslight me.
It's crazy how I can go up to a Christian "scientist" who has studied the world for longer than I've been alive and ask them about the origin of humanity and hear them respond with, "Man was made when god made a pile of dust and blew on it and women were made when god stole the man's ribs while he was asleep."
With enough indoctrination, people can be convinced to believe anything.
There are many denominations, luthern is one of them.
Yes, but your scripture and beliefs are very different from anything I've heard. You reject paul's writings (basically the entire NT), have different beliefs about satan/lucifer, and refer to Christians as if you're a part of something else ("By Christians, no less")
Because you're making false claims about Christianity's teachings, this has been done before to make Christianity seem less sexist, homophobic, and theoretically socialist than it truly is. The fact is, Christianity IS all of those things, and people pretending it's not aren't helping anyone out.
