Honestly, it seemed much more effective to start a new threadIf you had started a new thread, I would have welcomed you and examined your position, theist, xenopsychic, or whatever, with much tolerance and interest. But you didn't. You swamped the forum with perhaps half a dozen or more new threads challenging Darwin and the Big Bang, talking about Scientism and atheistic "dogma." Clearly, you came in knowing where most atheists would stand on these issues, and volunteered to enter with a bullseye on your back. You're like the proverbial party girl with her cleavage hanging out, shouting "Why is everyone looking at me?!"
That being said, I'm interested in the words "neutral monism," and you have made some philosophical points that I agree with in a couple threads. Once I recover from the shock of the carpet-bombing you started with, and once you stop trying to make yourself the center of the AF universe, I suspect I will discover you have something interesting to offer.
Despite your implications, I had no intention of making myself "the center of the AF universe". I honestly had no idea it would get such a response or that I would be looked at like I was "carpet-bombing" by starting (5 by the way) new threads on different topics.
And, oh yes, now that everyone has had their chance to give me shit about my ignorance regarding your community's social expectations, let's please get to the point of being here. Thanks.
