Whoa. Looks like we're being monitored by God's faithful, guys. This came out of nowhere (I'm still not able to post in the thread or any others, but apparently others still are)
Shalom Pickup_shonuff,
You say you joined this forum "to try and understand Christians better, to foster more civilized discussion in myself (knowing I could get banned for "cussing" is a good way to keep my *** in line), and to perhaps form a common ground by which we can work together for the betterment of the world.", yet your words you have posted here do not show this at all. Instead of trying to "relate to their mindset better, and hopefully, my brother eventually... I don't think it will be a successful endeavor.", you decided to "take calculated jabs and have fun." as one of the posters on Atheist Forums suggested and you agreed to. Your double-mindedness allowed for more dishonesty as you tried to tip-toe around topics designed to prove your point instead of truly trying to understand.
Your brother is right, you are intolerant of those who find God real and His words true. It is a shame you did not follow your first intention, to understand Christians better. It is unfortunate, for you, that you came here with the mindset to disprove certain ways of life, as teaching our children about God so you could understand. Instead, you demean the whole idea right out of the gate just in how you phrased your opening statements.
If you search your forum you will see that you are not the first to come to our site. We have had groups come from your site to "take calculated jabs and have fun", some respectful, others not. I expect more to come in the future. On your site, you are free to express yourself in any manner you wish, and you do. As you poke around reading other sites to decide where to go and what to do while you are there, it seems you forget that we also can poke around your site to find the truth behind the spurious personality you try to create.
It really does not take much to discover when someone is being deceitful. You may call it bogus, but the Holy Spirit does witness with our spirit about your spirit. I know you don't believe this, and in all honesty, you don't seem to want to even understand this, but when you do come to the point where you have to accept the truth, as we all will stand accountable before God, he is not going to accept your excuse for not looking for Him yourself because you did not like what you saw or heard in others.
True learning begins with an open mind to accept things contrary to your initial belief. Without an open mind, you will never grow out of the small box you have created for yourself, one that is sealed by your own pride and arrogance.
I do hope that you listen to your brother and stop fighting. As you say, we make him look like Einstein. Surely you would listen to Einstein. You have nothing to lose and so much to gain. I also hope that you remove your blinders and find a different place to hang out. How are you expected to grow when you have so many around you encouraging you to not believe in "fairy tales" and the "big bad Satan wolf!". You call us ignorant when you refuse to learn yourself ...
Have a good life, the next doesn't look so good for you.
I gotta say, I'm kinda creeped out. Since that fucker is probably reading this, I invite him to grow some balls and come talk his Jesus bullshit here.
