I picked up the phone at work to answer a call as I was reading your response and burst out laughing, so thanks for that.

Hopefully the thread can humour us as we drill into this a little deeper, and apparently we're doing this despite the fact that the guy already clarified what he meant. I know how you get bogged down in the minutia of a thread, but I find it cute to be honest so I don't mind playing along.

Okay, here are our two quotes:
  1. "non-Christians can't interpret Christianity"
  2. "your interpretation of Christianity is pretty meaningless if you aren't a Christian"

"Aren't a Christian" means the same thing as "non-Christians", so that pretty much zeroes those out to give us:
  1. "can't interpret Christianity"
  2. "your interpretation of Christianity is pretty meaningless if you"

"Can't interpret Christianity" and "Your interpretation of Christianity is pretty meaningless" mean pretty much the same thing, so we can zero those out as well:
  1. "_"
  2. "if you"

"If you" are extraneous, so we can zero those out, too:
  1. "_"
  2. "_"

See, they actually use very similar words with equivalent meanings. I still don't get what you're talking about with this, but as I said before, I'm happy to move along if you are.
