Necessary Thing

[TheRocketSurgeon]

Ah, I see, and I concur with your point, earlier. 

Ignorant, it's probably best if you confess (hehe- see what I did there?) your reason for being here, and try to be more up-front about why you're trying to interview us. If you're here to proselytize, you will find some serious blowback, since many if not most of us are ex-Christians and most likely already know more about your religion and scriptures than you do. If you're, say, a student at a Christian college doing a paper on "What Atheists Think", for instance, you'll likely get a heaping helping from us, provided you are open-minded enough to honestly listen and be respectful to our ideas (agreement is not necessary, of course).

But I already did confess it. I am here to see what other people think about questions I think are important. What have I done so far that makes you think I am here to proselytize? To the contrary, I have made a conscious effort to avoid even mentioning god in any of my posts unless it somehow related to someone else's comments. I have been trying to be open-minded and honestly listen to your answers and respect your ideas. Can you point to comments of mine that show a failure in that regard? Seriously, what have I done to make you all so suspicious of my intentions?

It's nothing (I hope) that you have done deliberately; your tone and approach simply mirrors that of a number of irritating theists who have come here in the past. They "play coy" about what they're really getting at, seeking to trap people into "gotcha!" questions, etc., or will play the "say something vague then take umbrage when I claim to have meant something completely different from what offended everyone" game. 

If you are an honest questioner, or just want to know more about us, we have several theists we (most of us) welcome with open arms.
