What's disappointing isn't that you didn't find any evidence, I knew before you began that you wouldn't. Whats disappointing is that you are unable to admit this, and instead make the statement that evidence for the flood narrative somehow depends on faith. It does not. Forgive me for calling bullshit when you claim to be thinking for yourself while quoting scripture.
So tell me, Salty, what have you learned? Don't even start in on some persecution bullshit. Who told you that you weren't beholden to us for any of this? Who told you to take your time? If you didn't want an earful, you shouldn't have posted that garbage.
I knew I was released when you responded with all that frustration and irritation. I'm touched that you had a sliver of hope for me, but I think that hope was that I would somehow strike "realization". The only thing I've realized is that I can't think for myself around you. I can't come to conclusions because you don't like the result and it's too difficult for your educated mind to find a civil way of displaying that.
Yes, I'm going to talk about your condescending methods, it's not for you to decide what effects me and what doesn't and what I can and can't mention. My will is my own, no one forced me to believe in God, no one forced me to come here, no one forced me to look over the topic of the flood. I felt compelled to answer for what I said because I'm working on becoming a better person, one that sounds the same no matter where I am, whether in "off topic" or in "religion", whether in person or on the internet. I don't hide my foolishness, as you can see it's all over this forum. I don't pretend I'm better than anyone or that anyone needs to heed my words, I just respond as I see fit. I'm here to participate and to learn about myself and some of you as well. I seem to be the only person that's okay with that.
What have I learned? I can't be treated equally here by you because I refuse to give up my "delusional" beliefs, I thought you had morals, but I guess equality isn't one of them.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
