Quote:I am dissappointed because I have sensed a great unjustice in the behaviors of this forum's people and not only, of course.Really? Because I've seen nothing of the sort. At first, I thought some of the others were quick to mock you but that was because I hadn't read any of your other threads. It turns out that they're completely justified in their mockery, not just because of your behaviour on previous threads but because of the way you've treated people in this one, Alasdair for example.
Quote: I do believe everybody is free to think and believe what they want to, but I know that you have done a great unjustice towards christianity, by asserting into it wrong theology, wrong concepts and wrong exegesis, basically creating a new christianity, molded to your criteria which you can deliberately attack because it fits the atheism you have.You accuse people of creating 'strawman' arguments. Please provide your evidence for this.
Quote:Undoubtedly the atheism you have is a denial of the "god" of that christianity that is denaturated and wholly new.No. You don't get to tell us why we're atheists neither do you get to propagate unsupported generalisations. That's simply rude, yet again! Have you asked anyone on the board why they're atheists?! Do you know enough of us well enough to categorise any of us?!
Quote:What can I say, I do recommend to the people of this forum to read Patristics and to leave aside the bunch of prejudices you have. Christianity is not Bible alone, is not creationism, is not "Accept Jesus in your heart and you will get saved", these are missconceptions. These are modern creations and they are the fountain of atheism because of their absurdity. The real christianity stands silent in the history of the first centuries, in the writings of the Fathers, in hesychasm, in asceticism, in the Scriptures guided by Sacred Tradition and so on...No, your Christianity is like this. There are thousands of denominations which would disagree with you.
Quote:I will always teach anybody that wants to learn about this (anyone that is interested can PM me)Given the way you've treated people on this board, I doubt that anyone will take you up on the offer of being taught by you. You could do with improving your communication and people skills.
Quote: but I cannot convince you, you must convince yourselves if you want to and all that is recquired is will.Yeah, the problem there is that people convince themselves of crazy stuff all the time. You know what's really convincing? Evidence. Reason and evidence. Emotional hooks are all well and good but if you can't back them up with reason and evidence, those who invested emotion in an untenable proposition are more likely to react badly towards you when they find out.
Quote:This I have said to you in case you want to learn more. And the debates I have created rapidly degenerated, with only two or three persons that answered honestly and the rest just doing mockery and so on, I have to tell you that it is not pleasant and that you should not do that anymore, in my opinion, but again, it is up to you.Then change your behaviour or else you'll keep getting more of the same.
