Hi. I'm SHIN

Why wait? Stand on your own two feet, start a thread, and argue from your own point, in real-time on the forum. I'm sure we won't all point out how presupposition is actually invalid because it begs the question...or that human reason existed before the advent of monotheism...

The WIN/Gallup End of Year Survey 2013 found the US was perceived to be the greatest threat to world peace by a huge margin, with 24% of respondents fearful of the US followed by: 8% for Pakistan, and 6% for China. This was followed by 5% each for: Afghanistan, Iran, Israel, North Korea. -LINK "That's disgusting. There were clean athletes out there that have had their whole careers ruined by people like Lance Armstrong who just bended thoughts to fit their circumstances.

Humble yourself, you blind fool... where did I say it directly meant Jesus? I only said exactly what you have stated.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
Looks like this guy might be gone for good. Shame, could have been fun.
Give him some time

At that rate, he'll hit thirty days before he hits thirty posts. Mark your calendar. There may be a flood a coming. ![[Image: extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/zf86M5L7/extraordinarywoo-sig.jpg) |
