You're welcome, honey.

An agnostic does not think god is unknowable; rather they don't know if there is a god, or if a god can exist.


You're wrong.

Would you like me to go all Zerinus and quote the dictionary at you? With the current vs Huxley's original definition?
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

You can if you wish. I already know what you're going to put up here.

Steelhead,

Look at my reply to you. Do you see that I replied to your unedited version? Look at exactly what you said in the unedited version of your post.

The mistake I made was to allow myself to be coaxed into replying to your post against my own better judgement. Won't happen again.

Unfortunately.

Your approach to non-believers sucks and let me tell you why. :mrgreen:
You don't need to. I choose my posting style. Don't need lectures from you.

Most of the folks on this board who are non-believers are former believers, the majority are former LDS. They already know the scriptures of their respective faiths and they don't need you to teach them.
They don't. That is why they need to be told by me. Again, I decide what my posting style will be. You don't tell me.

And what's up with you? You have made statements here to the effect that the Father draws people to Himself and I believe that, too. So what is your deal? If you have faith that the Father draws people then why does it look like you want to beat everyone bloody and then forcibly drag what's left of their carcass to the Father?
You are talking rubbish now. I made no such statement. That is a typical Evangelical statement, not one that I would make.

Do you get points for kill it and drag it home or something?
No I don't. You are talking rubbish on top of rubbish all the time. That is why I prefer not to reply to your posts.

That's a combination of serious and my sense of humor. You'll get used to it eventually if you stick around.
Unlikely. I won't be wasting any time reading too many of your posts in the future, let alone getting used to what you say.

My old friends quote rings so true. All that Mormons need to repent of is their self righteousness.

Funny how for many a godless atheist the morals of humanism, once feared as the ultimate enemy far exceed the morals of the Mormon gods.

Troll or not Zerinus's morals sure do reflect the worst possible elitist aspects of the immoral Mormon gods. I hope he is actually just a troll and not a lifetime victim of an Obey and Pay demanding god. Funny how one man's morality is viewed as wickedness and enslavement by another.

Thank god for Pascal right Zerinus?

From the news of bannings and posting habits on other sites, especially MD&DB I have to shake my head in literal cogdis that Zerinus is for real, and just a bit upset from being betrayed by whom he would consider his own. He does not seem to realize that the dynamic nature of Mormon apologetics escapes his ability to grow past his antique understanding of apologetics and how far behind, in the dust his wanna-be friends, colleges, brothers and sisters have left him and how quickly they will and have thrown him under the bus.

Ouch, yea it hurts Zerinus many here empathize with your pain.

I am in an atheists forum. I haven't been to one before. This is the first time. I am still getting used to it. I will be more arrogant, boastful, and self-righteous when I learn to do it better. :cool:

Yes, even I empathize with your pain, myself being kicked to the curb from MD&D, left with no other place to be able to freely express myself other than the dredges of the Trailer Park. Where true brothers and sisters can be found, where your freedom of choice and voice is always welcome, where none are allowed to ask you to leave.

I hope you are young. I hope you might be wise and well. The majority of the regulars here wish you the same. Some tough/hard love I suppose, which it seems in these cases is the only way.

We also empathize with the anger within you. Betrayal and lose of trust is such a festering wound. Once you start to face the humility of constantly being kicked to the curb, the humility of the Trailer Park will start to be as the balm of gilead to your soul.

God bless good brother on this tough journey.
