Here’s a twist, I have been a Christian for 29 years now and still going strong. And I regularly engage atheist and agnostics in conversation about Christianity, evolution or any other related topics. I love it and am not offended by even the most insulting atheists, but take them as they come and enjoy discussing all topics with them. Bring it on atheist lol.

This was a very… thoughtful… post. Very different from some of what you usually say, but still as good and very insightful and thought provoking.

This feels like a sort of backhanded compliment. How is it different from what I normally say? I’m curious. Am I being inconsistent in some way?

Oh, no - this wasn’t at all a backhanded compliment. I’ve been sick, and had taken some Nyquil before writing that comment, so I guess I wasn’t clear. Hell, I’m not even sure what my point was now, when I read it over. I think I was trying to convey that this post seemed more personal than most of your previous ones.

You are certainly not inconsistent… but maybe Uberkuh is on to something ;). Just kidding. Really.

Maybe the law only applies to one of “the internets” Dubya was talkin’ about. Wahtever the fact, that’s some scary-ass ish right there, and therefore doesn’t suprise me one bit.

I would lose my mind f I tried to have a religion debate with a theist online. I start with th epeople I know personally.

My brother’s mother is a fundy nut who Tivo’s every 700 Club episode (she even buys his energy shake shit). She’s also all about eschatology and doomsday: she has been declaring every event of the last 20 years as definitive PROOF of Revelation coming true.

Well, in a recent convo we were having, she actually said to me: “Stop…if I keep listening I’ll start to believe you.”

Oh well.

“I find all of your comments annoying. Please provide your full names and Social Security numbers or I’ll have to alert the authorities.”
Oh, crap.
My full name is Damien T. Antíkhristos, & my SSN is 666-66-6666.
Muhuwahahah! Seriously, though, it’s an interesting thought.
I wonder what qualifies one for trolldom on an Xtian site?
I have dropped in twice at the STOPTHEACLU site, & twice commented. No response.
Lya noted that 7 or 8 of them deleted her post haste.
I had considered doing this sort of thing, but w/my nick, I’d probably be fending off theists swarming & trampling 1 another to ’save’ me. (I actually get this sort of behavior once in a while at the NGB, or via the sporadic email: announcing my thorough apostasy usually terminates the discussion.)
Gotta get a better nom de plume.
Anyways: “None so blind as those who will not see.”
Hmmm. Guess the bibble is good for something besides TP.
