Jomifl - you comment that
"Naomi's observations about the characteristics of believers might well be true."
You try getting Naomi to admit that she is making remarks about believers though. I kind of got a semi-admission in the end but it took many posts and some hours!
Then you say:
"The fact that you find them unacceptable doesn't alter their veracity one jot."
I find them offensive. That is true. As for veracity. I, for one, am not gullible, nor am a sycophantic, nor do I live in fear and I do not feel any guilt (what am I supposed to be in fear of or guilty about?)
So if I do not have any of these characteristics I think we could assume that not everyone does have all, or even any, of these traits. Does Naomi writing things on here make them true? Not it clearly doesnt. If Naomi said I think that, or in my opinion I find that ......
but no, she writes daily on what we (believers) are (supposed to be) feeling and thinking and doing while not really knowing, and not being a believer is not even speaking for herself.
