Lol sorry I had to. But I totally agree with you Crossless. This forum is about having discussions in general. We will always discuss our main topic and points of disagreement, but we are also all people and there is a plethora of topics to engage about regardless of our personal beliefs.
There's no arguing with Sheldon.
Just to add to my point, it's not as if I primarily identify as an atheist, and I don't run around IRL looking for religious arguments -- something that I'm sure would be easy to find in Louisiana. Obviously, I like arguing about religion or I wouldn't be here, but there's so much more to life.
And I didn't mean to omit you, lkingpinl. You're another who has made efforts to present yourself as something other than just another Christian to argue with.
No worries. There is honestly very little I take offense to. I came here to discuss things with people of differing beliefs but in the process have developed some friendships and discussed poop much more than I ever thought I would in my life.
My father-in-law is hilarious when he gets upset about something and wants to argue about it, he says, "we need to have a loud discussion about that".
We are not made happy by what we acquire but by what we appreciate.
