Yet another drive-by theist... {sighs}
Let me share a highly guarded secret with you, Ramen. Most people don't know this, but I'll risk the legal prosecution and tell you the protected secret: you can have atheists and other non-Christians argue against your beliefs by... {drum roll}... participating in the forums! Seriously. It's just that simple. Find a thread that captures your interest, respond with your Christian perspective on the matter, and any number of people here at the site will argue against that view you shared. That is practically guaranteed.
But I'll tell you another secret? Nobody—and I mean literally no one—is going to take you seriously if you make three basically inane posts and then disappear. That's precisely the sort of thing that makes folks around here (and anywhere else) view people like you as "simple-minded idiots." They have every reason, primarily because you hand it to them. If you want to test the rational integrity of your beliefs in an atheistic environment like this, there are two things you must do at the very least: demonstrate tenacity by actually sticking around, and show yourself as someone to be taken seriously by contributing substantive content. That's it. Pretty basic.
Three inane posts and no follow through? I would give you a failing grade on the assignment.
Clearly. Moreover, I find myself doubting you even know what 'apologia' means.
If the shoe fits...
They probably do. And after they have done those better things in real life, they come here to relax and unwind. And if it bothers you when they consider you an idiot, Ramen, then make sure you're not voluntarily handing them reasons to think that.
Right. So, stop it.
That's unfortunate, and also a very good reason to not bother coming back.
