I've thought about it some more, and I've decided that for now I'm willing to keep answering the same question over and over again, as many times as anyone wants me to. Why not?

I think the reason that kind of thing happens is different communication styles, different conceptualizations, different use of vocabulary, different points of reference, thus, and the language one person, in this case yourself, is using, somehow isn't clicking for everybody. In cases like that the answers maybe could be worded differently or figure out what it is about your reply that doesn't answer the question in the other person's head.

Do you have a question that you think I have not answered? If so, what is it? This is starting to feel like harassment and gaslighting to me. I just looked up "gaslighting," and what you're doing here seems to me to fit that description perfectly.

(later) I don't mean that you're doing it intentionally, just that it has that effect. If you have a question that you think I haven't answered, please tell me what the question is. If you continue to do nothing but tell me what you think I'm doing wrong, I might need to stop reading your posts.

Let's just skip it. I'm past trying to figure out the specifics.
I asked questions on post #61 & #64 and I don't think you replied or I don't understand your answers.
Now you say I am "gaslighting" you.
I find your posts interesting and read them. If I don't understand them I won't ask questions. That might minimize tension.

I've searched through all your questions to me, and the only questions I found were about what I was saying about Christians. Maybe you didn't see that I've decided not to say anything critical about Christians anymore.

I have not objected to you asking questions. What I've objected to is you *not* asking questions, and doing nothing but accusing me of not answering your question, then blaming me for you not seeing the answer, while stubbornly refusing to tell me what the question is that you think I'm not answering, as you did again in this post. You have never told me what the question is that you think I haven't answered, and here again, you're refusing to do so. That's what feels like harassment and gaslighting to me, that you keep badgering me about a question that you think I haven't answered, without ever telling me what that question is, and this time openly *refusing* to tell me.

Those questions are about my criticisms of Christians, and I've decided not to say anything critical about Christians anymore.

(later) I said that in posts 73, 76, 77 and 79, that I'm not trying anymore to do what I was trying to do in this thread, and that I will try to strictly avoid saying anything critical about Christians.
