There just happens to be a lot of negative focus on this site. Is certainly not all bad, and I appreciate the serious discussion, and fun times we have. But a lot of it is. Some days I take a look at the new posts feed and don't really want to look. But you never know if there are any jewels hidden in the shit. Usually it's all shit though.
If you join a group of people assembled because of their common outlook on a particular matter for the purpose of convincing them they are wrong, you will likely find yourself waist deep in shit. I haven't been here long, but I'm continuously surprised at how many Christians are unprepared to hear straight unvarnished answers.
As local naysayers go, you're not too bad. You're even found on the more social parts of the forum from time to time.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

When in truth I see it as a place where the flood waters are constantly present to test ones foundational beliefs.
Are the people at your church really so sheltered that they assume everyone starts out with faith which they seek to lose? Your time might be better spent bringing word of the wider world into that dark place under your steeple. Hopefully they at least understand that people believe in all manner of religions and differing interpretations of the same religion in addition to holding no religious beliefs at all.
Is testing your own foundational beliefs the reason you keep coming back, Drich? Do you toy with the idea of casting off your narrow beliefs and entering the wider world? Oh, Lordy yes what-eves, I am ready to "cast off your narrow beliefs" and enter into God's kingdom!
As stated in thread 1 post 1 I am here to answer biblically based question and provide clarity about the God of the bible, and I will continue to do so till this 'talent' is taken from me and passed onto someone else.
In short I am here to help those of you who have their beliefs washed away help and instruct where and how to rebuild.

Aww. Thanks, Luckie.
I figured it was time to give the forums a break for a while. Give some other atheists a chance at demolishing all those stupid theist arguments. It just wasn't fair for me to do it all. I mean let's face it. I'm so freaking smart even I don't know what the hell I'm saying most of the time.
So I see you made Mod.
My diabolical plan to have all the mods loyal to me is starting to come to fruition.

Wait, you're going to try and bribe the minimum?
I'm offended you'd try to low-ball us. :p

Bribes? I'm no novice. I will elevate the loyal with sly, underhanded maneuvering and remove those hostile to my rule. Tremble! Tremble I say!

I want to know the minimum so I know where to start.
I'd hate to offend you by a bid too low beneath your minimum.
