I'm at around 32k on CF, and that's after they've deleted hundreds of 'em.

BTW, Jobar, I still consider myself an agnostic theist. I have yet to be convinced that this is a question on which knowledge is possible.

Oddly, although I'm certainly "liberal" in many ways, my positions on a number of issues are much more orthodox than those of most of the fundamentalist sorts. I'm sorta old-school.

You have no knowledge, but you believe anyway.

Yep, strange.

I suppose. There are an awful lot of things I believe even though I don't know them, though, so it doesn't really stick out much.

Off topic, I know, but:

I just wanted to say "Hey" to Magus. While lurking here, I used to read most of your debates and enjoyed every one of them. Big fan.

I'm also pleasantly suprised to see that you escaped, much like myself, the evil clutches of fundyism.

That's all. Now back to your regularly scheduled posts.

Arrogance yes, great,big, overflowing bucketfuls of it @ times.
But ignorance?:huh: I don't see a whole lot of that displayed here. Atheists as a whole seem to be very educated people.

Peace is not just the absence of violence but also the presence of justice.

We have some atheist members here as well.

Well, while I am not a member of any self-proclaimed Christian boards (no real interest) I am a member of two Islamic ones: Whyislam and Shiachat, one is predominately Sunni, the other Shi'ite. I'll check out your islamicboard.

Oh yeah, I'm also a member of a Druidic message board.
I like IIDB the bestest.:thumbs:

Far as I can tell, seebs is a theist, although an extremely liberal one; he used to call himself an 'agnostic theist'. IMO, he does indeed believe.

Strange, isn't it?

I remember HelenM. She's still around right? I was just funnin around about seebs though. I guess since I'm not known to be funny I probably should have left that to somebody else.

What? I can't imagine what they'd delete them for. You don't seem inflammatory, so I'd imagine it was more of a censorship issue.
