I hope it's not a blanket statement cause then you are guilty of the same thing you claim Christians are guilty of. Then you are no better than those you chastise.Quote:Min, how come you only read what you want to read.i said I'm asking a single question -THAT'S IT!!
I didn't get bent out of shape at the non-answer I got- I got bent out of shape because it was implied that I'm wanting to debate about things that I never mentioned.
Why would you even mention asking my church friends. Did you actually read the question??!
doi-oi-oi-oing!!!!!
I counted 3 questions in the OP so perhaps you don't count so well, either.
Regardless....you are about as bent out of shape as one can possibly get.
WTF did you expect on an atheism board? A lot of jesus kumbaya shit?
Many of us have been members of your silly little club and we have quit because none of it makes any fucking sense.
Sorry if you didn't want to hear that but I have little patience for jesus freaks who think the sun shines out their ass.
I know you were former Christians that what I was asking about. Why would I , as you suggest, ask church folks about what it's like to be an atheist who was a former Christian ?? Yeaaah, THAT'S why I asked in an atheist forum. How stupid of me to ask atheists questions in an atheist forum!!! DOI-OI-OING!!
Yes, I DO WANT TO HEAR IT!!! WHY DO YOU THINK I ASKED? But,what I want to hear is an answer to the question I asked. Not some asinine comment about "not playing" and something about burning!!
What did I expect on an atheist board????
I expect what 95% of the others that responded gave me which was a simple answer. To the supposed intellectually superior atheists (AND DEISTS LIKE CINTWAT) it shouldn't be that much of a stretch to give a simple answer.

It is understandable that you would assume this because undoubtedly, you've seen theist's introduce this notion before, in a similar fashion.
I did not jump the gun - I didn't "jump" at anything. I gave a response to his questions. In fact, if you'll read it again, you'll notice that I did not scold him in any way for asking the questions. I merely gave him understanding of why it would be pointless for me to offer up validation for a religion that I once practiced. Whether or not he insinuated anything in his original post is of no consequence as I did not accuse him of anything.
Reading comprehension is very important and I think there are a handful of members here that need to really work on that.
I told him to "calm the fuck down" AFTER he blew up and got all butthurt about it. After that it's just been amusing watching him dig his own hole.
If you or anyone else feels that I was unfair in my response than that is certainly your right. It does not however, make you right.

I'm pretty sure it's reasonably entertaining without having to convince anyone.
Actually,if you notice I didn't jump at you until after you said calm down. What I said to you before was hardly jumping down your throat. If you think it is you need to grow thicker skin.
