Wow, way to sound all defeated.I've visited christianforums, and I've seen what it has turned into due to all the atheists that troll there.

We're not sure :think:
FYI, this means that you are an agnostic - not an atheist! I guess people from christianforums may learn something by coming to TOL.

Quote mined out of context!
There are no agnostics.So, I don't care?
Quite frankly, I've never seen any difference between an agnostic and an atheist ... for they both are non-believers; however, agnostics will argue that there is a difference.
RightI just see them all as non-believers,
All of em? that's a mighty big brush you got there.who are all RUDE...
Well, the FIRST time they might have gotten their jollies accidentally, but every time after that I'd have to agree, they're getting jollys on purposebecause they go to Christian sites to deliberately get their jollies
Are "believers" suposed to be immune to having their stupidity mocked?by making fun of believers.
So putting some thought into ones humor is a crime now?Rude premeditated humorists
I don't leave a wake (fuel is too expensive, I sit behind the wheel and drift while I look like I'm going fast)- who ruin christian boards in their wake ...
Obviouslyand who obviously don't have any sense of humor.
Are you sure about that?You are the last atheist I'm going to talk to for - at least tonight.
Relieved of what?I'm pretty sure we are both relieved!
This is trueWell, the majority of the forums at christianforums are reserved for Christians.
Also correct.There are a small number of forums open to all.
I think there's a cream for that.The pious religionists who are too pusillanimous to defend their various faiths never go there.
It's not doubt due to their OS.I've noticed that the pious who do venture into open forums don't do very well in debate. And whose fault is that?
Puppy discipline?
But Clarke's drumsticks are bigger.
Not according to Sacagawea.
Spare the bumper, spoil the puppy.
Well whose word are you gonna take?
Whatever that means, I don't think we're it. lain:
Probably theirs.I've noticed that the pious who do venture into open forums don't do very well in debate. And whose fault is that?
Now, are you going to "venture out" here or are you going to keep bringing up the other places where you seem to have all the answers?
Which is why its really easy to just resign yourself to being rude and mocking all the time right back. Its always the same old arguments with the same worn out answers from both sides. Most of the time its just a contest of who has the most forum experience. Who has seen the latest stupidity and what the best answer is. Nothing is accomplished, no one changes their mind. Like I told Granite, lets just talk about sports.So, I don't care?

Oh, and btw, welcome new guy!!
Of course, absent great Truth, that's really about all one can do.Well - if one's SOLE (or would that be "soul'?) reason for interacting on any debate-oriented forum would be to proselytize others to the great Truth one has, then, no, one could very well be wasting one's time.
No harm in that.I participate in forums mainly for fun, the way some people enjoy fencing.
It's certainly a great way to test the merit and metal of one (either).Secondarily, one might modify one's views in some way after exposure to contrary ideas, or one might modify others views in some subtle way.
Do you eat Chinese food often?Life is a learning experience. And one has to take the bad with the good.
Say, humility--or the deft smiley touch. lain:My view is that IF I actually DO learn something from another - against all odds -
Or behind the eight ball, depending.then I now know what I did know PLUS this new knowledge, so I'm ahead of the game.
Can't fault that attitude.If not, then I'm still at even - so, no cause to complain.
I can see where you might.I basically go on the default position or theory that others suffer from narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) until I am convinced otherwise.
In what way?So far I have found this modus operandi quite efficacious in interacting on religious or philosophy oriented forums.
That's easily one of the funniest lines I've read during my tenure here. :e4e:And certainly I'd readily concede that many atheists tend toward NPD also, though to a lesser per cent as religionists.
