I appreciate you telling me that Frankie. I had thought that maybe atheists were able to have discourse without resorting to abuse, threats and harangue. I guess I'll just go back to a Christian forum where we allow atheists to discuss their opposition to Christianity as long as they are civil and not abusive.

Nah, we just don't like people preaching at us in their first post.

You guys keep using the word preaching. What I said in my first posts was the same type of thing you all say in your posts. You are just biased and unfair. If a newbie is supposed to just keep his mouth shut then you should say so in your rules.

RE: Hello from Missouri, USA
A newbie can open his mouth all he likes. You can even quote scripture in your explanations of your beliefs. Thing is, there has to be something else attached to the scripture.
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!

I offered evidence. You just chose not to pay any attention to it. One in particular proof of the
Word of God and the veracity of the Bible was the prophecy about King Cyrus of Media-Persia. You won't believe it because it's in the Bible but it is a historical fact that cannot be denied. What you are saying is the same as if I quoted the definition of a word from the dictionary and you say thats not proof of the definition because you dont believe the dictionary.

There is a big difference between "I believe in a god because such and such" and start a discussion from there "This is my copy/paste of scripture and you have to accept this as evidence".

Your bible stories no more real to me than the writings of Melville or Conan Doyle. If you want to put your scripture forward as evidence, you need to back up your claims, not just assume scripture is enough. Most of us here have read the bible, and if it wasn't convincing then it sure is not going to convince us now.

Should continue this outside of the welcome thread if you're going to stay.

lol, I think so too, now it's unfortunate as I responded to his "evidence" in the thread in which it was presented. (as well as every link he provided)
