How do you know I don't care? We've never met before, do try not to tell me what I think.

The answer to your question, though, is that you can change my mind with sufficient evidence. I can be made a believer, assuming you have a good enough justification for believing.

Before I go into that I need to ask you some questions.Do you agree?

The particular god you worship merits scorn and calumny. Mockery is a gentle and amusing form of the former.

Don't like it? Tough shit, find a Christian forum if you need kid gloves. You're at an atheist forum. Your beliefs aren't worthy of respect, in my eyes.

Then apply that logic to preaching -- why should you preach to someone who doesn't care?

We didn't gather here for your convenience. Spew your bullshit elsewhere. If you want to have discussions about religion or faith, great, but if you are here to hector and harangue, your time will not be long, nor will it be fun for you.

Perhaps you should practice a little common courtesy, then, and treat people the way you'd like to be treated. Would you want someone introducing themselves into your world and immediately hitting you over the head with their beliefs? Of course not.


So, seriously, either show some common courtesy, or shut your fucking piehole.

If you're going to act like a door-to-door salesman, you will be treated like one. Quit your whining and move onto your next house.

That begs the question, what is your motive for being here?
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

OK, I'll bite. What are you sad about?
