Prayer ... SERIOUSLY?!

For the record ... you can call me whatever insulting name you wish. It's impossible for persons I don't respect to injure me with their words.

Why would I do that? Calling someone names isn't funny, it adds nothing of merit to one's own argument, and quite frankly it is juvenile. I actually like you; you have an inquiring mind which is always a good thing in my book.

Yeah, I don't think you like me at all. I think you're attempting to come off as a martyr right now because Shell B was a tad rough with you. Please, spare us that melodrama. All of us who are passionate about religious issues get beat up a little here and there, it's just the way it is. I do to. You gotta let it bounce off. Example - Frodo hates me, and tack's not too fond of me ... and I have no problem with that. I will still occasionally even give both those men kudos here and there.
It's not a christian thing. Yes, we think christians are wrong, that's a given, but you'll notice the majority of us don't hate tackattack, and I'm sure quite a few of us would say that we like the man.
It's not cause you're a christian Statler, it's you.
You only seem to have actual discussions with those who are in agreement with you. The reason why people explode and call you names is because you see what you want to see and you draw your own conclusions and justify them with your own brand of "logic". It's not a conversation (or even a debate) with you, it's a lecture. Even now, you'll probably interpret this to be some kind of irrational rant.

You want people to stop calling you names and give you some respect. Fuckin earn it. Nobody here expects you to agree with them all the time ... we do know you're a christian. They do expect you to offer up legitimate arguments that are not subject to your own brand of rationale and most importantly, not turn one's words around to suit your own agenda. Here's a final idea: Try telling someone you generally disagree with that they may have a valid point. Maybe, and this is a BIG maybe, you can salvage the shitty reputation you've given yourself.
