Hello, and goodbye.
It's not a no no. You did good. People were showing you their love.
You've successfully weeded out those who like to be idiots. Now with that knowledge you can carry on with reasonable discussions with the reasonable ones.
Your a new chew. everyone likes to get into the action and humans sadly like to act like a mob. Don't bash these guys over that.
Post slower. Burn out makes you say things you might not/ that you might regret later.

It will be hard to get all of them up to the top of the mountain of strawmen already present in this forum.
And with that I bid you all farewell.

Based on this thread, I am very skeptical of your intentions and motivations for being here...
Based on his other thread, I'm with you, FNM.

You wouldn't be claiming a prophet motive, would you? Because the job's already taken and the only way you'll get me out of office is the way I'm going to pretend I got hired in the first place: naked oily wrestling over the flaming pit filled with sodding vipers, with frickin' lasers strapped to their heads.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

(June 26, 2013 at 8:07 am)ShadowWolf1986 Wrote: Hello,
I am a Christian, and I think I could benefit from discussing matters of spirituality, religion, and theology with Atheists. I am 27 years old, married, have two children, I am an Iraq veteran, currently in the Army Reserve, I go to school full-time, and I attend church regularly. Just to clarify my Christian identity, I am not a Catholic or a Protestant, I am an Apostolic Christian. Wikipedia has a great article on "Oneness Pentecostalism," which is another term one could use for the type of Christianity I identify with.
In brief, Apostolic Christianity is the "first Church," even before the Catholics, we believe in One God and not a Trinity, we believe that the salvation plan includes repentance, baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, and being filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues. This puts us at great odds with the rest of the Christian world.
I would like to put a question to the Atheists here. I am a Christian, so does that make me stupid or intelligent? You are an Atheist, so does that make you stupid or intelligent?
Thank you,
Shadow
Being a christian makes you stupid.
Hope that helps.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
