As I said, I never censored you or told you what you could and could not say. Once again, my post where you think this occurred was directed at the words at ideas and didn't mention you at all. You are overreacting to something I never said or did.

You are the one that said I was trying to censor you, me responding to that accusation is twisting what you said??
The only thing I've done is respond to your posts with the only goal to understand and clarify and give my opinion, I don't think anyone else would say that I'm not interested in discourse and am twisting your words.

It's one viewpoint, I don't know everything nor did I claim any sense of superiority in morality or ethics.

I didn't accuse you of claiming superiority in morality and ethics, I can only reply to what you say. This is what you said:
"There is no good deed a "true Christian" can do that anyone else could not do." - troutman
"that's not true, because if you are doing certain deeds then you are acting in a Christian manner." - you
The ONLY point I've been making is classifying certain deeds "Christian" is a misnomer since all those deeds can be be done by non-Christians.
That's it, that's the whole point.

Which assertions are those?

It wasn't a cleverly worded attack, it was a disagreement with your point along with demonstrating that my disagreement was in fact not an attempt to censor you. Unless you think someone saying "I think you are wrong and here's why" is censoring or an attack...
