I'll leave this thread with a few excerpts from your responses.
I think they stand alone, self evidently, as absurd playing with semantics, nothing more.

"You probably have just as much faith as you have doubt in these pink unicorns"

"If the HS is within us and we are Christians we should not go to church ...."

"so it is wrong to be called a Christian when you are a believer with doubt. "

Arguing with Amos is like wrestling with water. His statements are little more coherent than the "jibberish" generators you can find on the internet.

Really, you're spending a great deal of energy you could conserve for more fruitful discussion elsewhere.

Yeah like, becoming an atheist is the best solution to dodge the saved sinner complex.

Considering no saved sinner complex exists outside the minds of theologians, atheism is no more a "solution to dodge it" than plugging the fireplace is a way to keep Santa Clause from spreading ashes across the living room floor.

I would have said 'nailing jello to a wall', but, yeah, "wrestling with water" pretty much describes the process. It's pretty obvious that Amos is not an atheist, theist, agnostic, etc. Amos is just Amos (which begs the question, "What IS an Amos"?).
