Think of me like William Dever. He's in-your-face and has lots of good data to back him up.

Yes, but I get tired of their repetitive, in-your-face, self-indulgent, content-free point-of-view.
repetitive - ok
in-your-face - ok
self-indulgent - yeah, sure
content-free - ROTFLMAO!!!!!! Perhaps some of my posts are without much content, but I just wait for someone to come up to my level and then there'll be content. Stever pretends to be at my level, so I let him have it. Was that self-indulgent enough? HA! If you didn't find content in what I wrote above, then you're pretty blind.

Nope. Only that the act is wearing thin.
You know? You're pretty repettitive too.

Yes, but so far I haven't seen you correcting anyone but atheists.
Let's see. That's probably because the people here have driven off most of the good, debatable theists with insults (especially like the ridiculous and stupid Annunaki, who's not much different from me and only poops into a discussion to say something stupid and void of value except for egging his fellow atheists on - which I will not do). If there was a Christian here presenting bunk, then I'd probably critique them as well. As a matter of fact, I think I remember laying into Bede (who seems to have the reputation of a God around here) pretty hard a while back, so I don't think you're really read my posts.

What? No substantive replies? I suppose this content-filled post was a little more than most could understand. Gee Whiz. You people are no fun.

Bump... Just call me Mensa-Man or maybe even kcorcatem (ha! not really, but it'll make your heads spin some more). Just because you haven't seen an atheist like me, Vorkosigan, it doesn't mean that we don't exist.

Just for the record, he's not me! I think he's what Tercel was calling enlightened atheist.

King Arthur, email me.

Yours

By no means, Lord, it's Bede!!

Enlightened atheist! I rather like that!

BTW, you never answered some pretty pointed questions of mine from an earlier thread, like "How can you believe that Christianity is not the only one way to God, and yet call yourself a Christian?" or "How can you reject the OT as mostly fictional stories when even Jesus did not seem to, and yet call yourself a Christian?" What kind of a Christian are you? A good debater for sure because everyone here seems scared to death of you and thinks that I'm either you or your underling.

Have you emailed Steven Carr to inform him of your challenge? It is, after all, a weekend. He might have something else to do besides keep an eye on the board for random insults from a "13 year old poopy mouth" as you described yourself.

I recall that Steven knows about at least some of this from discussions here, but he has never changed them, so I doubt it will make him no nevermind.

King Arthur, e-mail Steven Carr your rebuttal so that he can place it on his web site.

Disappointed in, yes. Scared, no.
