Because he wants you to feel angry and unfulfilled. It justified his irrational belief in a Savior.
You worry about not offending others, be they religious or not, whereas Jan very politely and patiently continues to offend atheists and show his superior and exclusive perspective on life and the universe.
I thank you for your observation.
Ha making me angry and unfulfilled ...don't think so...welcome to try if that makes him happy.
His (or her) perception that I seem angry is after all may well be valid.
I am concerned that he may genuinely hold such s perception.
Folk in real life think I am tuff and mean which is opposite to the real me.
They see you in a fight (only two in fifteen years have they witnessed) or an arm wrestle and they forget all the times you are un noticeable.
But I do worry why folk can get such a incorrect impression.
I don't get angry. In a fight I become remarkably cool and focused, my training taught me if you get angry you lose.
Besides I am gentle and kind.
Even the god was unable to get me angry, mind you I will fake anger as a tactic to gain advantage, like a shout in skyrim.
The god gave it his best shot and any anger would be me just messing with his head.
I hope you are wrong about Jan. I like Jan as I have said I find him ( or her) most entertaining.
I find it interesting he holds beliefs made up by folk who did not know better.
And if your observation is valid I could only feel sorry for Jan as that would point more to low self esteem than perhaps an intentional malice.
And if he suffers low self esteem it could easily come from an early indoctrination ... Who knows what causes folk to lose faith in themselves and seek an invisible friend.
They should be pitied an concern extended for their sad plight.
Low self esteem I regard as the worst condition a human can experience.
Well there are worse things but for me I tend to worry about those with low self esteem.
They will punish themselves with guilt yet on the outside will present as confident even arrogant often critical of others focusing on flaws they imagine in others but are actually things they hate about themselves.
They find compassion for others difficult because they have little for themselves.
I don't think Jan is suffering low self esteem he has his world view and for whatever reason seems to hold on to it with a firm grip.
He does well given all like to argue that he is wrong... And he may be wrong but that is not particularly relevant to my point.
I hold my world view similar.
I don't buy the nonsense made up for fools to hold others in control, causing them to hate themselves through guilt...you are a sinner crap.
JC died for you because if mans sin.
God gave you clothes to protect you from sin.
You can make a list.
Jan does, and I have probably have said this before now, maybe not, reminds me of an attractive woman at a bar or party holding court with all those men thinking they will be the one she will fall for.
They each try to impress but she sidesteps each advance causing the next to try his stuff.
She enjoys her ability to, in her view, to have them all running in circles with her remaining distant and aloof but nevertheless the center of attention.
Jan may like being the center of attention but I see no harm there at all.
