Mind you, why are you feeling bashed over some online text? Can you discern a user intent just from text? You can't. Objections made to that ridiculous concept (Trinity) should never be taken as offense. If your faith is offended by someones words, could it possibly be that there is something wrong with your religion?

You should be sorry, as pride is one of those deadly sins, at least from the catholic doctrine I know (as an ex-catholic I know quite a bit from it). Alas, despite my poking, perhaps you could be precise in your wording, so context problems can't arise?
Quote:That's why I haven't been able to continue my points! With the exception of you, and maybe one other...everyone just doesn't care. And saying: "Yeah sure tell us your shit!"...isn't very compelling reasons for conversations!
Perhaps because your points have been done to death in this forum? I am the first to say that listening to those old religious arguments many times over is quite frustrating. You talked too much about how you feel, have you thought about how we feel?
Quote:Do I blame them? No, not fundamentally! I personally wouldn't want someone "new" coming in my house to rattle my foundations!
What foundations? Atheist is someone that rejects the claims made by theists, namely the claim that god exists. You are possessing the burden of proof. You are also being less than humble, to claim that you have something we have never heard before.
Quote:I would need to trust that a person is at least sane who is potentially going to try and dismantle my belief system...or lack there-of!
I'm thinking the time will present itself to open "it" up! You will be the first to know...for your "somewhat" welcoming manner.
I really don't have anything earth-shattering to offer...just some common sense, food for thought ideas.
Perhaps you should realize that, instead of just saying. You are too hanged up on your pride, how can you be objective. This forum has alot to offer intelectually, but your pride will blind you from seing it. WTTW: Grow a thicker skin, dumbass <--- see what I did there?
