I'm truly amazed at what this rev character does to us...
Rev, what you should have learned from your time-outs is:
- Don't just copy/past stuff from other websites, add your commentary, or interpretation to them, even if just to say that you agree 100% with that quote and always remember to present the link to where you got the text from. You'll see it's common practice to just give the link and add a quote to the most relevant bits... the other bits are for people to take time to follow the link and read themselves.
- Discuss with people. You often use one-line replies to other people's posts and most of those one-liners are barely addressing the post you're replying to... it's frustrating to the person you're replying to (and everyone else), it becomes less than a discussion and more of a monologue, with a few interjections (from you) in between, and the main purpose of an online forum is to have discussions among the users... not monologues.... that's why it's against the rules to reply in such a fashion. It makes you sound like a parrot, which renders you useless to the forum and, thus, banned.
I'm still looking forward to your remaining "arguments"... if I recall correctly, we were at the 3rd of 7. But I urge you to put some effort into the remaining ones, or else you'll just get the same rebuttals from the previous 3: go research what you're arguing against.
Actually, your best bet is not to argue against anything, but for something.
In the absurd chance that you could actually convince everyone in the forum that all of currently known science is wrong, you would not have moved a millimeter towards your goal of making us accept that your faith based divinity exists, nor that we should worship it, nor that the stories in your favorite holy book are trustworthy, much less true.
