Also, I'll never understand how "twat" is a put down of any kind. I've never met one I didn't enjoy. What is the negative association for cunt et al? If I were you, I'd claim the mantle of twat, if you really had to choose.
Seriously, no offense intended. Mostly just having fun with the word play. Let me see, which of those descriptors have I experienced from you .. disingenuous? Yeah, a bit at times. Dishonest? Only when refusing to acknowledge a reasonable point you find distasteful. Condescending? Only by association; Christians who claim to know what's going down because they're on the A list of the big cheeze according to their special book all come off this way to a degree. You are less egregious than some. Presumptuous? Again, only by association given your claim to possessing a magic book with all the answers, etc.
So chin up. I don't know why you want to come on an atheist site to receive a predictable reception for the stuff you espouse. But you're less thick headed and daff than some we get through here. Happy new year, god's chosen. May your anticipation of the reward you look forward to in heaven compensate you for the likely let down you will never realize anyway.
thanks i think; and to be honest I asked myself the same question about why an athiest forum. In time I hope when we get through with the initial "pleasantries" I hope that even though we will disagree on a lot we will recognise in each other honest searchers even if we are looking from different places and through a different lens. At least you guys want to talk about this stuff and I do find it forces me to think and that's always a good thing. I do wish you guys a happy new year.
