We get a lot of low-quality visitors who don't stick around, but I don't believe you're one of them. Part of the reason for your reception is how many times we've been burned, which doesn't excuse it, but I hope it helps you understand why some of us have become cynical about new theist visitors over the years. It IS possible to earn our respect, and we have several long-time members who are theists...but a few of us are going to be snarky no matter what.

If you disagree with what I said or think that I'm not educated enough on the topic that's fine because the point of debating is to bring arguments to the conversation to enlighten your opponents. Yet somehow this has turned into the classic "You don't believe what I believe so you're stupid" party. Thanks to the few people on here that actually made good points so I can continue to expand my knowledge on the topic.
We're more a discussion than debate forum, though I admit it's a somewhat subtle difference. I think you're doing well so far.

Again, I'm afraid you're suffering from the impression that hundreds before you have made...and it isn't fair, it's just the way it is. Most of us can learn to trust that you're on the up-and-up if you stick with it.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
