Faith, Hope & Love?

How do you conclude that someone's impression of you is a lie? Do you think that Ryantology secretly thinks your posts reflect well on you and just won't admit it?

Did you read the things he called me? NOT true = lies.

Maybe you should stick to what you know.

I try. But part of the method of debating is to take one out of their comfort zone. And [in the past] due to my temper I've been a willing passenger.

Are you saying it's unjust to conclude someone is lying just because you think they are wrong? So soon after calling Ryantology a liar for what he thinks of you?

I'm not sure why you are answering for Ryan, but he doesn't know me, neither do you. If someone that knows me looked at his quote they most certainly would call him a "liar".

Whatever is in his mind [about me] should stay there... I'm not interested.

I'm going to cut you some slack and instead of concluding that you're lying about this, I'm going to go with: so amazingly lacking in self-awareness that you can't even remember being called out for doing exactly that in this very thread when you began with an insinuation about atheists and back-pedaled with a claim that you were only asking questions...and then couldn't help repeating your original insinuation and saying it was the point you were trying to make all along.

I'm glad you are willing to give me something!

Why would I ask "only" questions? Whats the point? It's like saying: "I'm [only] talking."

I said that I was asking these questions because I wanted to know the "minds, motives and reasons for the way atheists think". That's a pretty broad question! And, I found out a lot! "Ulterior motives" are usually, something unrelated to the actual subject at hand?

My error may have been I stating the obvious results in a negative way! But I was being shit-up-on! So, all bets are off in a heated battle... because I may want to hurt back!

The most generous interpretation I can make of the problem you're having with us is that you are so focused on contradicting us that you're not even noticing when you're being inconsistent, and you have a problem gracefully admitting it when you make a mistake. Also, you have a tendency to manage to insult all of us when you're mad at one of is, leading everyone to jump on you. Calming down and thinking a bit more before you post should help with this.

Thanks again for going easy on me!

Not to repeat myself over and over... But I have seen the light! Most of your observations are correct.

[I'm trying] to temper my responses. Mainly to get my message across accurately. Secondly, to not get overheated because of darts being thrown at me from all directions. That's where I lose it... in my message and consistency.
