Oh go away now.
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.'

I seriously have no idea what you could possible be offering sympathy for.. This happened 20 years ago, and anything lost was replaced ten times over. Not to mention this experience has given me apart of some of the insight and understanding of God I share with you all when you ask your questions. This event is one of the cornerstones of my faith and I treasure it. That is why I offer it to you. So again, I have absolutly no idea where you could possible assume I would want your pity.

Paul said it is in my weakness, God is shown to be strong. This mean where I/he fails and my/ his support systems fails our success can only be attributed to the provenance of God.

I said go away please. Christ, you're like an irritating little puppy, yapping round my feet.

Didn't you strap on a chute and bail on this conversation like six pages back? Now your back and I need to leave?

I'm not the one who keeps scratching at the exact same spot every. Fucking. Time. I. Post.

Change the record, for fuck's sake.

(Incidentally, no I don't own a parachute. The fictional pilot character I created for that single post does. However, I suppose I have to go easy on you since I know how easily you confuse fiction with reality.)

Time will tell.

Indeed I think time has already told, but by your arguments of how ity is easier to dismiss then your claim and what not, that makes me think that you have no idea what you are talking about. Do you think I wanted to deconvert? No I did not, and it was a nasty process, and is even worse for others. So don't feed me this I don't want to believe bullshit, I've taken the time and looked for evidence and listened to the arguments,
hell I'd had a life threatening disease as a christian, the recovery i chalked up to god.
Just I read and I thought, and unfortunately the god hypothesis became more and more untenable. I tried your a/s/k for weeks on end too, and it gave me shit (that was later.) So why did A/S/K fail for me and so many on this forum even when we did it the exact way you describe?
And you wanna go ahead and pray for me to get aids, I fucking dare too and If I do get it will be quite the miracle, as I have been in a solid relationship for 5 years.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It's not apparent that anyone is listening to anything you say.

Situation normal.

My credibility is the first thing that goes when someone hears or reads something they do not want to see/hear. It is far too easy to dismiss the indivisual than to accept an unfavorable word.

Again. I stand by my word. And if that is not enough for you then so be it. It does not change any part of who I am or what I have to say. I am a face value person. I will believe in people till they give me strong reason not to. I expect the same. The only thing I have given you to doubt me are the circumstances of a miricals. For you it is easier to dismiss me as a person than it is for you to accept that God works in people as He does in the bible. Why? Because your whole faith is built around the idea that God is not real. When I provide you a possibility that He is, and a way for you to find out for yourself in such a way as to have no doubt. It is easier for you to assume I am lying.

I have said this before. I am here to facilitate the 'choice' God has given all of us over to make. If this means loosing credibility in the sight of you people, then so be it. My personal pride does not demand to be held in esteem by any of you. That is because What I have to share is so important and so absolutely important everything else becomes meaningless.

What I am saying here do not take my experiences to heart. Ask or even persistently demand that God give you your own. Then hang onto something, because what ever God has In store for you will rattle so hard it will be the 'proof' you are looking for.

Let me see here... Unsubstantiated claims... Completely unwarranted judgment over me- a person that you could not possibly know- including reinterpreting my motives ("You just don't want to believe!") to keep your delusions safe from possible interference... Yep.

You could not possibly have proven me more right if you'd been trying.

As it is not entirely clear in these posts, did Drich claim he once had HIV and a little god magic later was cured, or was it something different?
