Lost to me means "ignorant of truth," and other def's. You know I disagree with the "switch being thrown" theory, and I believe you are ignorant in some areas, and more knowledgeable than the pope in other, surely more important ones. Just like everyone else.
The problem when I judge your condition is that now I'm somehow compelled to fix you, rather than help you, and many Christians, I'd say most in the West, take this to mean proselytizing, when it is anything but, don't you think? Try that in many countries, and see what happens...and you can say that that's because they are heathen all you like, that doesn't make it true. You are satan when you do this to another person. Rather than demonstrating your belief, you are talking about it...
