An Encounter With Some Preachers
#12
RE: An Encounter With Some Preachers
Quote:Okay, I apologize for the name calling,

Fair enough.

Quote: but with all due respect, this DID happen to me earlier this week,

If you say so.

 
Quote:and your post was quite insulting.

I'm crushed.

Quote:Also, it isn't like this is the first time this has happened to me. I think almost every time I've posted here I've gotten a rude, or at the very least, an insensitive response from someone, and I'm beginning to question how nice this community is.

People are mean to you on the internet.  Gosh.

 
Quote:Allow me respond to your points:

Can't very well stop you, can I?


Quote:1/2) I was waiting at the train station for my train to arrive when the preachers approached me. Within a few minutes of them speaking to me, my train arrived. I told them if they'd like to board the train with me, I'd love to continue talking with them, and they obliged. So yes, we had a lengthy exchange on the train and I was not late for work. They got off the train before I did and I got the feeling that they were headed back to a nearby church or something.

That's plausible. 

Quote:3) There were two of them, and I addressed both of them at different points of the conversation. I guess it technically would have been correct to say, "One of them said... and I responded..."

So now 'some' has become 'two'.

 
Quote:but I didn't think people were going to be probing through my post with a fine-toothed comb so they could interrogate me.


New to the internet, are you?

Quote:Yes, I did say "He", they didn't say the argument in unison like a hive-mind or something.

Make up your mind.

Quote:4) Who says I didn't look elsewhere for a response?? Honestly, posting here is a last resort for me because it usually requires writing out lengthy posts and engaging in a lengthy dialogue with different members - it's honestly a very time-consuming endeavor for me, and that's why I post so infrequently. I would much prefer to simply find a video on YouTube or an article written by an atheist that outlines the answers I'm looking for. In this case, I need a critique of a random bible verse and I'm really not finding anything out there of much help. This is simply too much of a niche, specific issue for an internet search. That's why I came here.

Really, this place is your LAST resort?  With all the billions and billions of pages on the net you couldn't find anything substantive to help you out?  Colour me unconvinced.

Quote:Anyways, I came here hoping to have a discussion about the issue at hand, and I'm finding that instead I just have to waste a bunch of time arguing with people over the validity of my experience.
 
You've posted less than 30 times in four years.  I really don't think you're interested in discussion.

Quote:If you have a good reason as to why Job 36:27-28 is an underwhelming verse to point to as advanced scientific revelation, I'd love to hear your response and engage with you, and I'd be extremely appreciative.

'Google'.

 
Quote:On the other hand, if you think I'm yanking your balls and am fabricating my story, please post somewhere else, I'm beyond frustrated at this point, and you're really not helping...

I apologize deeply and sincerely if I gave you the impression that I was trying to help.
