But can you understand that we Christians don't like to be treated like medieval dullards? In fact it was this attitude in college that soured me on Atheists to begin with. Certain elitist professors like to have religious folk that they can make examples of so-called ignorance. Why? I honestly don't know. The only thing that made me different from him, is that I believed in God as the Source of all things and he did not.

It's too bad that this experience taught you to be prejudical about other people's beliefs instead of teaching you to try and behave differently from your professor.

Nobody can post new threads in ~E~. If you can't start a thread in the other fora, then send me a private message since you presumably can't start a thread in the Bugs forum either.

When you stop clinging to myths that are older than the middle ages we'll consider it.

Quote:

Whats WRONG with believing in GOD?

Lack of evidence.

Quote:

And a great many whom are not Christian still believe in a Source because life seems to be way to complex to have evolved in the 3 billion years the Earth has been around.

Arguments from Popularity and Ignorance.

Its exactly what I expected when I trolled them.

So you admit being a troll? Bad move.

Quote:

All the hate, all the anger, from people who claim to be so detached and wise? I should have never been able to extract these comments from people so much smarter than us stupid religious folk.

Maybe if you didn't insult us we'd be more civil.

Quote:

Maybe a little humility before God would do you some good?

If your God exists he's got a lot of explaining to do and I'm not going to get down on my knees until I get some good answers. We'll start with the little entrapment situation called the garden of eden and work our way up from there.

Quote:

Nearly every Western charity in existence has its origins in the Church.

Prove it.

Quote:

But don't even try to match the generosity of billions of Christians across the ages. You couldn't come close.

You're perfectly correct, there's no way I could match the generosity of those kind and loving Christians who set out on the Crusades with only pure and selfless motives in their hearts. Please excuse me while I vomit.

Quote:

Well, I apparently am no longer allowed to even reply to your posts so I will have to say so long, its been educational.

Door, ass, etc...

I'm a "Gal" too.

Do you really want me to act towards Christians as they have treated me? I doubt it.I stopped the "Well, she did it too, why shouldn't I" argument in kindergarden.

Quote:

I don't know who or what you all believe was the cause. The Big Bang was the result, but what about the cause?

Some of us laymen are content with being honest and say "I don't have a friggin clue, and not to follow it with "but (well I do and it's) God did it". Others are working on it.

What's WRONG with not believing in GOD?

Quote:

Non Christian creationist scientists? And plenty of'em? That's new. Sources?

Quote:

I should address the lady mad at Christians. The quotes you cited were a bit outdated, don't ya think?

Yes, many of us think the bible has long outlived it's purpose, but many still cling to the same ol-same old. :P

Quote:

Is this really as awful as you make it sound? Thats what I mean about you folks (GUYS term amended). Seriously, look at some of the preceding comments. Its exactly what I expected when I trolled them.

Do you hear yourself think?

Quote:

Let me get this straight. If I go insult you, and you are rightly offended, can I be offended at your offence too? And you haven't raised my pulse with 2%. You are not only trolling unsuccesfully, but you're not particularly original in the flames. If I had a penny for the many time I hear the anger card...

Quote:

Maybe a little humility before God would do you some good? Biff kind of says it all for me.

Ok. I'll go humble myself in front of my mirror. You didn't exactly specify what God(ess) didn't you?

Thanks to Donjared's claim that he is trolling, I don't think this thread has anywhere to go but downhill. As such, it is now closed.
