I described my opinion based on bias and predisposed notions of your faith. If you could not provide anything to the contrary, and just wish to call it a crappy argument, than fine. It was an open invitation for clarification, I was not suggesting it was true. I even said "I would surmise that..." which clarifies that I do not have all of the data. I would have enjoyed an alternate view, but you just came in and confirmed my notions. By the way, didn't I say "If you want to call it a bad argument, I guess you could"? Where is the disagreement? I certainly did not anticipate my opinion being the end all argument, just a starting block. Discussions of this sort work better as an exchange process you know...
You choose to fear a God, you can decide a different feeling. If you are aware of your fear, and can determine why you are afraid, you can turn it into courage. We are having a disagreement of the applicable uses of the words in the context of which you are applying them to a God you cannot prove. In this context, its a choice.
I don't even know what this is supposed to mean. Are we all doomed to fulfill your destiny?

The fact that we’re having this discussion on an atheist board shows you’re wrong.You've described it precisely how i've interpreted it by confirming my bias. The fact that we're having this discussion on an Atheist forum tells me you are seeking validation and on some level are looking to explore the doubt you supress. Somebody that believed in God 100 percent wouldn't feel the need to explain themselves or subject themselves to such scrutiny. I personally don't give a shit what you believe, i'm on an Atheist board! It's you that crosses over to supress the questioning of alternative views.You responded to my post...Remember?
