Actually you at least try. Nehor is generally devoid of substance as is Bpspace and SB.

Actually, I think it was the fact that I put you on ignore for a while that helped my mood immeasurably. Well, to be fair, I put you and Wade on ignore, so you shouldn't feel singled out.

Indeed. In fact, I like stem. So, he should really worry about his reputation and step up the inane BS and egregious attacks. He is far too sympathetic and reasonable to be a true apologist by the definition of a light like Nomad.

LOL. I would say you are good natured and trusting, not slow.

Indeed, you remind me of myself before I encountered Mopologetics. Don't let that one eat at you though.

I would have to go with the Abs-man. He's at least reasonable, has a great sense of humor, and does good things for the reputation of his church.

If you want to defend christian faith, you should at least act like a christian when doing so. It's impossible for me to take the christian assholes seriously. This is why I like people like Ceeboo and Ms Jack as well.
God belief is for people who don't want to live life on the universe's terms.

That post here with some consistency? Ab-man is the most rational, sane and balanced.

He simply doesn't want to. Nehor has knowledge and the capability of generating substance, but for him it's much more enjoyable to poke fun at critics or simply to stir the pot. I actually enjoy his sense of humor, although I think it's generally not appreciated by others unless his quips agree with your position--such as in a Nehor vs Droopy political deathmatch.

If we were talking about knowledge then I think DCP, David, and Will are winners with LOAP and Nehor who are younger following after. If we're talking about how much substance one chooses to contribute, then David is the clear winner. I think DCP would win if he weren't so frequently distracted by critics, but even so he does have his sense of humor so may not always be serious--not that humorous posts necessarily lack substance.

If I win, it's a sad, sad day. I don't have the knowledge of any of the people I listed. At best I have some critical thinking skills, but to really be good you need both as well as discipline. David is therefore the clear winner having great knowledge, excellent thinking skills, and incredible self-discipline. Is DCP lacking is self-discipline? I don't think that's necessarily so. I believe many of us would react far worse than DCP after being the main target of critics, especially if that critic were Scratch who digs up any piece of dirt he can find for years without end.
That's General Leo. He could be my friend if he weren't my enemy.

That I can understand. When the evidence is heavily favored against you one should stay away from providing substance so as not to be shot down all the time. :)
