:Looks back: Damn, you're right again. I forgot to actually say "I'm sorry", and somehow telling people that I won't do this again doesn't count as an apology. I'm a fucking lout after all for being so careless with my admittance of guilt and my promise not to do it again.
All kidding aside, I am a little bit sorry if I hurt GC's feelings, but, like Kay's quote says: "Offense is taken, not given." So I feel bad that it was rough on him, but he should be man enough after being here at these forums to stand up even to a Mormon. A fake Mormon, at that. What I'm actually sorry about is if anyone felt really deceived by my alter-ego.
Anyway, fr0d0, apologies are niceties, but they don't mean shit unless I actually change my ways. My saying that I won't do it again means shit too because it means I actually need to follow through. Only time will tell with that one. Accept my apology if you will, but it's no skin off my back whether you do or don't since all I care about is how you perceive my future actions.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Well, if you'd listened to me I know a discount wholesale supplier in Transylvania. So much cheaper to buy in bulk.
I wonder if sockpuppets go to Heaven too..?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Are you trying to make excuses or apologise? The former seems to be preoccupying you.
Did you see GC complain? I didn't.

Oh. I was giving an apology whilst dragging my feet on purpose in order to show that I'd rather win back the confidence of my peers with my future actions, and at the same at least show that I could give an apology, half-assed though I meant it to be.

By what you were saying I couldn't be certain.

Well I guess it's time I spoke up, I did not think at first PP was here for anything but to represent the Mormons. As the conversations between myself and PP continued I began to realize something was amiss, I began to feel targeted but was not sure. Then we got into the Genesis creation and that's when I began to figure it out, the argument of scripture on PP's part began to resemble an argument from an atheist point of view. A Christian would have never challenged me in the way PP did, there were basic flaws that a Christian would no not to use, unless said Christian was not very smart in arguing the creation. I've studied the Genesis creation story one word at a time, breaking down the word meanings and how they actually fit into the story, now I did not break it down, I studied it from many very intelligent Christians, enough of this, but that's how I was able to quickly break down the deception. That and when someone starts to deceive, one has trouble remembering everything they were being deceptive about, it will come back to haunt one and in this case it did, after a terrible argument and countering with opposite opinion on the same subject for me it was over. It should have been obvious with my last reply about arguing with atheists, that was an intentional statement to get the Mods to notice what was happening.
Well it's over with now and I'm glad, it wasted a lot of valuable time for many people and that is the greatest shame here, we're here to give argument without deception to who we are, being open is what I like about this forum, eve if i do get irritated at times. BWS I do not believe you were out to run me off, especially with such weak argument. When I leave it will be of my choice and no one else, I accept your apology and I do not want to see you banned, when I get tired of you all I have to do is push the button like I have with others. I don't think you were out to intentionally hurt me, I do think it was moving that way and I do think there was more to it than has been said and if I see things continue to happen, I will bring it out to be looked into, so what do you say let's forget this and go on from here and find respect for each other in our conversations.
As I said, I personally would not want to see BWS banded, I caught it early and was not going to argue with PP any more. Let's all have a and go on, please.
Thanks to Fr0d0 and all who made a positive stand on this situation.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
