It's for our good. It's tough love. So don't lose sight of that.
Perhaps you should use the search function, the problem of evil, in all of it's forms..comes up incredibly often on these forums. You do realize that we have some serious fans of folks like Platinga, Craig, etc here on these boards right?

I can't decide from your quaint little affectations whether you're trying to come off as Mafia gangster, New York cabbie or Scouse.

Mission accomplished, amico mio. Mission accomplished.
Alright, jokes aside. Listen, I know I may be a little confrontational. I may be a little aggressive. I don't suffer fools often. I'm a little ballsy, a little passionate. I think atheism is for grownups. I don't handle you guys with kid-gloves. And sometimes it hurts. But my heart is in the right place. I want to turn this movement into something that prides itself on intelligence. On education. On knowledge. On enlightenment. And sometimes it can be a little too rough. It can be a little too spicy. I get it. But this does one of two things: It either makes you butthurt and cry. Or it makes you wanna learn shit so you don't look like a fool.

You don't need to worry about looking after us or giving us tough love, you fucking annoying, self important, schizo twat.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

There's a term for un-requested, unrequited and unwanted "love"...and it aint very flattering.

It has been interesting to say the least Perhaps I should of done an intro thread rather than just jumping in with an opinion. It seems to have worked out better. Oh, and no, I didn't quote any scripture, I quoted Bart Ehrman, or rather I posted a youtube link where he spoke. It didn't go over very well.
Christianity is grounded in history, the facts of science, the rules of logic, and verifiable biblical truths.

I seen that, I thought about mentioning that appeals to authority aren't always fallacious.
