Isn't Beck a man of faith?
Being a man of faith, doesn't mean ****. Jim Jones
was a man of faith.
It means something to "H the K," else he wouldn't have made his
particular appeal to Tim.
He said "Christian with a conscience", so I suppose
you could have said "Doesn't Beck have a conscience?".
And that would have been pretty damn funny.
But the full sentence... "You present as a Christian
with a conscience." doesn't make any sense anyway.
Sure it does.
"You present as a Christian with a conscience." makes
sense to you? Perhaps you may have left out an
important word that clarifies who you're talking about?
Maybe the word "yourself", if you were talking about Tim,
would have made it clear? Otherwise I could have just as
easily inserted the word "him" and it would sound like
Tim has previously presented Beck as a Christian with a
conscience, which, of course, would have been hysterical.
One of the many meanings of the word "present" includes the way
I used it.
In which school do they teach that?
Present = to introduce
Present = a gift
Present = in attendance
Present = now
In law, presents = this document(s)
But I take it that you were referring to the meaning
as "to introduce". "You introduce as a Christian" doesn't
sound right.
He "presents" as a Christian means he either directly or indirectly
comes across as someone who follows teachings of the Christian religion
with a conscience. We have a couple of dirtbags here who present
themselves as Christians but who do not follow the teachings.
^^^^^^^^^
Now there you go. You used the word "themselves" to
delineate your meaning and it becomes clear. Without
specifying "who", you leave it up to the reader to
guess.
I just can't find any examples of your way of using
the word, here...

Is it an ebonics thing?
