Your abandonment of discussion, argument, debate or even yelling matches in favor of blatant preaching would earn you a lifetime ban at many an atheist oriented forum. If we want to be preached at, we'll find a theist forum. Consider yourself lucky.
If you want to engage around here, please do. If all you're going to do is preach, kindly fuck off.
Galactic BusDriver,
I am not calling out the monitors. They are the ones who enforce the rules so that is why I am addressing them. I made suggestions. In addition, I started my bible study threads with asking if it were ok and I got no objections from the monitors. Also, I posted in the R'lhey thread which is supposed to have a more relaxed atmosphere. What you call preaching to me is not preaching. I had a bible study. I use the Bible and if you don't agree with it so be it. But that is my frame of reference and I believe to be truth.
But saying the bible is the ultimate truth by merely pointing out verses that, as far as we know, have no evidence to be genuine descriptions of past events that actually happened, isn't going to get you very far.
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you
