I'm pretty sure that he believes that god sent him here on a mission.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

A god that needs pathetic minions like this is a sorry wretch indeed.

You're here to provide answers about the bible for those who seek it, on a board consisting almost entirely of non-believers. Well, for starters, you must have the absolute worst sense of direction of anybody who has ever lived....
I didn't say what i do here is meant for everyone. I am seeking those who are atheist because they had too many unanswered questions concerning Christianity. I know the majority here are here because they choose to be, and for them/you all I serve no purpose. However there are a few who benefit from what I do. So it is for those who have fallen through the cracks of mainstream Christianity, and not the general mass anti-theists that I answer biblically based questions and provide clarity in a place that generally does not welcome this type of activity.

I am simply trying to give you all what was given to me. In doing so I am learning more about God than I would have on my own. For you all ask questions that I would not think to ask/challenge of God myself.

But your views are so outlandish, I don't think you're fulfilling your purpose. I mean, people are not made of dirt, we evolved to our current state, there was no massive flood, talking snakes do not exist and there were no Jewish slaves in Egypt (not the Biblical times, I'm not entirely comfortable enough to say never without looking into it more). Anyone with a mind open for science, research, review and revision will toss these views out the window.

Most people who join atheist forums are not atheists by mistake-or out of ignorance.

Again, then toss them out. If there is nothing more to be said then I am content with that. i will just move on to the next person.

Again as I said I am not here for most of you. I am here for the one or two who are Atheist simply because it was their default view on God from their father or because the church they attended could not answer their questions.

Then you are in the wrong place, methinks.
