I don't take kindly to that
I try to be polite and will continue to if treated that way, but when my integrity is impugned, I tend to lash out, You can only take me at my word, but I would ask, based on my questions and responses, what would you say that I have brought up that would make me a troll?

Hitting a hot-button topic on your entry here is going to garner skepticism. It's not like I or others know you and have a baseline. The fact that this topic seems to drive most of your posts makes me wonder about the depth you bring.

Have you even read my introduction page? I posted my motives clearly there and would refer you to it.

You can of course ask opinions of anyone you wish. I just find it odd that you'd drop this question in as you have here, asking people whose opinions you have no metric for, and pushing the subject.

If my actions or words lead to that conclusion, then I will own that, but I would then ask you to specify what action or words did so.
Thanks

I, and everyone else here, have the right to question any goddamned thing we have questions about.

I only ask what is required to be considerd a bearer of human rights? What part of that questions states that one takes precidence over another?

I've answered this question. Why are you asking yet again if you're not trolling?
This is the only thing I care to talk about here. I have limited vacation time and chose to spend some of it chatting about a topic I wanted to talk about. Theism is a dumb argument and waste of time. I don't like thumping my chest and talking about stuff that in general we all agree on, I've learned nothing in the interchange.  These are the questions that interest me, how would you suggest I "drop them?" Again, in a free forum, you DONT HAVE TO RESPOND. If the topic doesnt interest you then SKIP it, as I have most of the topics around here. There have been a few that I found interesting and commented on them, but by and large I came here clearly to clarify my own view on this topic.

I started this thread at the request of ignaramus. I was happy to just have a few conversation on PM, again I'm not here to bash everyone. But I was told this would be the best way to do it.

So, I would rather spend my limited time hearing critisims to my arguments to see if I can LEARN something. Also so I can potentially TEACH something. Most atheist started out as theists who were brought around by questioning their dogma. I'm questioning dogma. Period. I'll freely admit I'm not looking for lifelong friends here (I stated as much in my introduction). I was wanting to use this opporutinty to learn something - unfortunately I've been dissappointed by and large. I've stated up front my motives and remain steadfast with them.

Questions are fine - but you made an unsupported conclusion about my integrity. That is not (IMO) a correct thing to do.. Ask a question, but you levelled an acusation, different things.

You brought up the potential life vs actual life, precedence, ect. I was responding to your post comparing the two,. How is that trolling?
