Back Again
Hi, some of you may remember me though i have been off for months. i sort of got sick of all the attacks on this site and left for a while. i first joined this site to challenge my faith by learning the opposing point of view, but i must admit that i lost site of it. i became an angry responder retaliating against condescending posts directed towards me. this is something i did not intended to do when i came here.

why did i come back? because though i was frustrated, i have to admit that i have never received such challenging questions concerning my faith. I've even spent my time off looking for answers for these questions. my faith has gotten stronger because of it and i express my thanks.

what will i do here now? i will be as rational as possible. i will not answer with an emotional response. i will ignore any insults and derogatory comments to myself that have no legitimacy to them. i will also participate in more formal debates. i am currently awaiting set up for a debate with DeistPaladin on the subject of Historical Jesus which i look forward to. i appreciate your time and thoughts.
Oh! thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n rescued land
Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust."
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

-4th verse of the american national anthem

Welcome back. I think ignoring the people that simply insult you is a good idea. As Tibs said, we're trying to make it more welcoming here for everyone.

Me neither, but I'll say Welcome back anyway. I don't think people here are particularly hostile now, so I hope you have a better experience now than you did before.

RE: Back Again


I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
