Really, from what I've read there's a huge attack on my intelligence instead of a counter argument. If there's no attack on intelligence it's an attack on my personal character. Also, "you made that up" or "your Bible isn't true" isn't acceptable as a counter argument.
I'm just trying to get people to a place where they're not running after me personally, but are instead exciting about pursuing the topic.
So I've been lurking in a lot of threads, and there are some people who call you an idiot or the like - or more amusingly when Eld calls you a bigot - but you know what? From the beginning there were plenty of us who tried to address everything you said with logic and reason. And when you didn't like the answer, you claimed we were insulting you.
Guess what? I actually defended you in private and requested to people who aren't likely to show any kindness that they give you a little leeway to see if you were actually interested in learning. I have to be honest and say I've become almost sorry I did.
Wow. Very kind. I'm sorry you feel you needed to take it back. I'm standing up for myself Summer I didn't realize anyone was standing with me. I appreciate it, and I'm sorry if I've disappointed you, but I won't be bullied by people with the ability to communicate openly and clearly with me.
