Another Theist

RE: Another Theist
Welcome to the forums 'A theist'.

Wow, you sure like to keep it anonymous don't you? You're just 'A theist', eh?

Although as you have said, among some other things you've said after that, you are also a Christian theist at that.

Thank You.

That's correct, I am a Christian theist.

What other things that I've said are you refering to?

RE: Another Theist
So, Mr. A. Theist, why do you believe in a God, and why from there did you decide it was the Christian one?

Well, in my opinion, it is not quite the same.

I am very very explicit and 'big on' how I'm pro evidence and against faith. It's a big part of 'me', of my personality. But this is just my opinion. And besides, on first site, my name might indeed appear just as 'faceless', but that's before you've got to know me. Just as 'A theist' is new to this forum here.

Oh, nothing in particular (which is why I didn't mention them at the time) - but if you want to know,

Things such as when you said:
A Theist Wrote:[...]I am a Fundementalist, but I'm not preachy, I don't wage war on atheists, yet I don't believe in homosexual marriage.[...]

Stuff like - 'other things' like - that.

Except for a very brief period, I've always believed in God. I can't point to a deciding factor in my life when I said, "This is the day that I believe in God". Actually, with my upbringing and family environment I shouldn't believe in God at all. My mother proclaimed herself an atheist, and my stepfather identified himself as an agnostic. My family never attended church when I was growing up. I did watch Christian programing every Sunday morning when I was a child and attended a summer Bible school once. As a teen I vsited a few churches and attended some "tent revivals",( Although, attending those churches and tent revivals did have an impact on me). Only as a young adult, (24 yrs.), did I fully commit to serve Christ.

Since the whole bible is bullshit to begin with, why should that particular assertion merit any attention, either?
Unbelievable. Why the tirade? I'm not arguing from a moral or Biblical position. I'm challenging the validity to the argument that same gender sex is a natural biological function. Either answer the question or admit that you can't.


That wasn't a tirade. If I launch a tirade, you'll know it.

I really don't give a shit about the entire issue. Gay rights is a political question. Either people get equal rights or they do not. What people do in the privacy of their own homes is no concern of mine. Why does it bother you so?

Define 'natural biological function', please Smile

You didn't answer either question, care to try again?
