I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
I haven't read the thread which spawned this, and it's hard to justify such a non-apology apology, still, it's kind of sad. GC may not be the sharpest stick in the bundle, but he's always been a good contributor and played by the rules. I also think it's very hard for a theist when one or more atheists get their dander up, form a posse, and start bashing on the theist for the perceived shortcomings of them and their beliefs. I've rarely been on the receiving end, but I suspect it's a lot harder being a theist than an atheist here. Anyway, half-hoping that he returns, preferably with some genuine humility.

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.'

I was all ready to withdraw my suggestion that Esquilax make GC's epic meltdown his sig (which he was too classy to adopt, sadly) and forget about the whole thing. Oh, well. Let it stand as an example to all future Christian predecessors of why we're practically out of patience with them before they even get here. Too classy? Nah, the thing was just too big and it'd feel intrusive to me, having it tail every post I make! I will not allow accusations of my being classy to remain unchallenged!

When I was a kid, I was taught that when you apologize for something, you accept responsibility for what you did, you express remorse, and you don't start making a bunch of excuses for your behavior. You certainly don't go on to attack the other person for over 90% of the "apology".
I guess not everyone was taught that. RE: Apology

Seriously GC. You argue in dishonest ways and that's why some atheists resort to name calling. It is your specialty to let a good post die, and then rely on the fact that not everyone reads the entire topic, in order to forward your arguments. You have an example right here:

Lek tried to tell you that we (the saved) will become higher than the angels, the lost will be the lowest beings ever, which camp do you aspire to belong to. So age has nothing to do with when Christians become higher than the angels nor when Jeremiah became a prophet, nor when I became a deacon. You're such a silly little child who needs to read and study scripture, it might help to keep you from looking foolish, well maybe, depends on how seriously you will study. So you copy paste what I said on May 25th, saying I should know that, and because I don't, I know nothing of the Scriptures. I always quote chapter number verse number in case there's ambiguity. So you argue with the post I made on May 25th, and on May 29th, you say the EXACT same thing, and tell me that I should know it? Seriously, I'm being VERRRY open minded here, that I bother reading that toilet paper called the Bible and memorizing most of it. If you can't have a conversation with me you can't have a conversation with any atheist. Dishonest.
AS much as I agree GC fights dirty...
Did you really just call him a "fag"? Do people really still do that? Please... just don't. |
