I can feel your anger

what would you say?

If I went to a creationist forum and did what you did (bring preconceptions about what other people believe in the face of statements that they in fact do not believe any such thing), I'd have to seriously consider that I was mistaken.

I certainly wouldn't drag out a thread for 70 pages tilting at windmills.

Yes true, it is a little like solipsism. I do believe that our physical limits shapes our reality. I'm sticking with my theory of how I view you, I have no choice in the matter. I understand your perspective, how you view yourself and respect this, I just don't agree. Much like anyone who has a different foundation, could either of us view a creationist how they viewed themselves?

Okey, dokey. Have fun in there. If it gets dull try changing what you already believe about the rest of 'us'.

Nope, Sellie still won't get it.

Nice try though...

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
