NEXT!
You know, you call others "fucking ridiculous" but you have absolutely no intellectual curiosity at all. All atheists seem to know how to do is berate what they won't take the time to even think about.
Lots of philosophers through the ages have doubted that what we consider "reality" is truly all there is. Parmenides, Zeno, Plato, Aristotle, Berkeley to name a few. But I guess with a wave of your what, 20-year-old hand, you would dismiss them as "fucking ridiculous" as well.
Let me tell you something I know that you don't seem to know:
Everything you know--has been taught to you. You think you're advanced, intelligent, wise, oh, and what's the other word...educated. But you don't espouse any original ideas.
A man with an original idea, wrong or right, is worth a thousand know-it-all's. A person says they're gnostic. I'm intrigued, but you seem to be threatened to the point of hostility. Why is that?
Oh, and here's a clue I learned from some of my...shall we say, experience...if you want a successful forum, you don't talk to your new members like that. You want this forum to run with the big dogs, you should grow up, act like a manager, and enforce your own rules. You're supposed to be an example for the rest of us in here to follow. You want ten of your friends to be in here posting once a week? Fine, piss off everyone who comes in to try out the forum. Believe me. If you want to be successful, you better find a way to attract every religious nut, like me and the gnostic, that you can. You'll always have pleanty of atheists to challenge them.
But what do I know. You probably think I'm fucking ridiculous, too.
