I do.

I take exception to the most basic assumptions though.

I guess that's why I'm so hated. You can't control the questioning any longer when the assumptions are faulty and I'm always so quick to point it out.
cool story, bro

It's the truth.

The atheists use the threads for their personal amusement as much as I "tangent".

You're just not used to a fideist's way of thinking. You're much more confortable with an evidentialist. Your arguments can't get bushwacked as much.

Offense is the best defense, y'know.

Splendour, please note that you're starting to sound a lot like Alter2Ego. Take that for what it's worth.

I ought to know. I tried to run a couple and the atheists would never stay out of them.
1. Dislike poor behaviour of some members of a group.
2. Imitate said poor behaviour of those individuals.
3. When criticised, blame that entire group for your actions.

Yep, I guess that's how Jesus would have done it.

LOL, martyr complex. Oh to suffer such persecution for one's faith!

I've barely read him and from what I recall he's a Jehovah's Witness. I'm not a Jehovah's Witness but we could have a similar way of looking at the world.

I don't. I simply chimed in because I believe jokerthief wasn't thorough in understanding doctrines or all evolutionary positions or considered alternatives. How could he most people don't read links and a cogent presentation of theistic evolution has never been made on this board.

3. When criticised, blame that entire group for your actions.

I stated a fact. This is a forum that says "No atheist only" and "No theist only" threads. In fact I've had threads closed for that reason. Because the fact is galling coming from me doesn't make it any less a fact.

Yep, I guess that's how Jesus would have done it.

Armchair psychology ftw, again.

Btw, your personal attack just violated forum rules.

Boy, I wish I had a nickel for everytime someone launched one on me. I could buy my way into the Main Event.

Don't derail a thread just because you've had one closed on you in the past. Turn the other cheek. Or as us non-Christians would quote Rafiki from Lion King: It doesn't matter; it's in the past.

But seriously if you are concerned with the fact that "a cogent presentation of theistic evolution has never been made on this board" or that "jokerthief wasn't thorough in understanding doctrines or all evolutionary positions or considered alternatives"... start a thread and enlighten us.

I know you're "too busy", but please use all the time you spend derailing a thread about deconversion and use it towards something more constructive. If you're end goal is to justify your beliefs in others or win us over or make us feel bad for believing what we do, you aren't even going about it the correct way.

If there's ever a way "souls are saved" it's not through the tactics you're using for sure. If anything you are reinforcing my deconversion, and I'm probably not alone in that sentiment.

Thanks for the advice but I'm not interested in running either thread.

At some point a person has to take responsibility for himself and do his own research.

I'm almost done with this forum anyways as I see it as irrevocably atheist now and if it's irrevocable it's probably bad manners for me to stay.

It was a her, and having a similar way of looking at the world probably isn't the best thing. Remember, she "debunked" evolution, she "debunked" carbon dating and she "debunked" virtually every major tenet of traditional Christianity.

Five times. Five times I've seen that you've threatened to leave the forum.

I see the atheists in here are still ganging up on anyone
who disagrees with them.

And people objected when I called this place an atheist
circle-jerk months ago.

If anything it's gotten worse since then.

You realize you are saying this in a thread where atheists were invited to come and tell their personal stories...right? The theists in here basically came in to tell people that they're reasons for losing they're faith wasn't good enough.

People such as your self just strike me as the type to try and demonize athiests whenever they can and for whatever reason.

I would never go into a thread that was about how someone found their faith and try to find holes in people's logic. It would be out of line. Just like Splendor, Dogg, and festeringZit are out of line itt.

I didn't "try to find the holes in people's logic." So, you clearly are
a liar.

I just commented that this whole sub-forum has become one big
atheist circle-jerk. It's not just this thread, it's 90% of the threads
in here.

If you have a problem with the forum, why don't you just leave? You won't be missed.

You're really going to take that tack regarding your original quote?

I should have figured as much.

To be honest I should have said something to distinguish your troll from Splendor's or Dogg's. It was different.

I know you are yawning because you know you're wrong and have no other response (as is your usual tactic) but just to be clear, someone does not become a liar simply because they state something about you that isn't true. They may have simply been mistaken.

So to say he is clearly a liar based on a misstatement is clearly false and yet another example of your horrendous logic.

if you want a christian circle-jerk try America, esp. down here in Texas. Sorry for those of us who enjoy the one place where we're apparently the slight majority.
