It seems to be the case for a lot of people on here that if someone presents points that go against yours, they are either stupid, crazy, a troll, or all of the above.Or maybe you managed to stuff a bunch of woefully misinformed and entirely common things into just a few posts? Just proposing alternatives....is there really any way to know? God jumped up off the page, yet, and imparted any additional meaning to the world, btw?
Quote:I'm actually not all that stupid, but of course that's subject to opinion.Not interested. Bang your head against the pew all you like. I think that you can manage to do that -and- refrain from saying stupid things. Plenty of other believers do.Wouldn't consider myself too crazy either. Just had a bit of a change in views in more recent times and thought it could bring about an interesting discussion with atheists where maybe I could change my mind on a thing or two.

Anywho, Happy Chrimbus!
