There was one very recently who didn't think the bible was special, rejected creationism, embraced evolution and -I think- was agnostic as well but called himself a Christian. That is someone I would call an interesting Christian.
Love, if that's who you're talking about, is still around. I recently exchanged PM's with him. The tone of the conversation changed after we decided what playing field we were going to have to meet on.
Quote:Now we have a former Muslim who is now an atheist with an interestingly different background and perspective. Couldn't you just tell him you're not here for that when complains about the tenor of response. Lets face it, it does get more than a little lord-of-the-flies around here and that isn't always novel or amusing.
No, I personally think some people are fucking over-sensitive. Also, if you're referring to my responses to lordxenu, I stated that I used to be like him and told him why I changed. If he's antagonized by THAT, then he needs to figure out if he should be in big boy panties or in Pampers. The tone for the most part on this thread hardly merited anyone being chased out. If they were, I say again that they need help with confrontation issues. As well, if you state an opinion, you are going to have to deal with it being picked apart. That's life, dude. I'm not fond of this "let's be nicey-nice to everyone's idea" attitude. Some ideas are complete shite.
