I've had opportunities, none of which involved ghosts, and I'm satisfied with the type of person I am, thanks.
Maybe you should nail your pamphlets to a door somewhere, eh?
(you won't be winning any converts amongst people who are satisfied with themselves with this sad shit Drich, refine your approach and shoot for something a little higher than the lowest common denominator?)
Speaking of your missionary efforts. I've noticed that you -have- become a great deal more overt with your sermons and pleas of late. Can I take this to mean that you have reached the frayed ends of the product you had to offer and this is the endgame?
(I applaud your longevity btw, little surprised you're still here, not surprised that you would stick around mind you...just astonished that you haven't been banned yet. I mean look at this thread title for ffs. Boils down to "Hey guys, lemme tell you about hell" - with which you follow - "seek the lord and be saved"...lol)
What I have noticed more and more is a very strong tendancy to not address the topics I bring up on point. The majority either appeal to preaching (in hopes that a mod wins the arguement for you on the grounds of me breaking the forum rules) Or it becomes an out and out personal attack (Spelling and grammar is brought up)
In the end, if you want to have a religious discussion with a person of a given faith, then you will have to accept that 'preaching' or something you can call preaching will occour. Why? Because the person of faith does not share your beliefs, and any place where our beliefs do not match up can be called preaching. Your only solution is to either accept that you will be preached to on occasion or create an atmosphere (atheist forums dot com) where the other side of the arguement is not completely repersented. If your 'faith in facts' is as strong as you say it is then why are you worried about alittle 'preaching?' Why not simply combat faith in God with faith in facts if it is so effective?
