Your description of your time at TTA is incorrect - do you actually believe that's what happened? You didn't declare yourself a theist until your posts and arguments were shown to be nonsensical and you were pressured into admitting to being theist. And even then, you prevaricated. And people didn't start making fun of your name until then, either. So, no, it wasn't your name; it was your silly ideas.

Strange, I can't find an introduction thread you made there. The first post I can find of yours is something about atheists influencing mass shootings.

It appears he did announce it here, where he got the definition of a "miracle" wrong, but it's a perfect example of his drivel.
Does THIS make any sense ? Not a bit. http://www.thethinkingatheist.com/forum/...eve?page=3 " For a miracle to actually be a miracle, it has to be an event that goes beyond the usual and ordinary circumstances of nature. That means its going to be rare and by rare I mean maybe happening just once in the history of humanity. If amputees occassionally grow limbs back, then growing limbs back becomes a natural phenomena that happens to occur occasionally. Suppose you lose your arm in a wood chipper and the doc tells you there is a 1 in a 100 million chance it will grow back. Further suppose you meet a theist who also happened to have a wood chipper accident. The thiest tells you he prayed to God and by a miracle his arm grew back. Would you consider that evidence of the existence of God? I wouldn't...and I am a theist." Hahaha. He contradicts himself, totally. He defines a "miracle" by his own (strange) definition ... which is what we saw all the time. Strange personal re-definitions. It's incoherent. And the definition (Biblically) is a completely NORMAL event, in which a believer sees "the hand of God operating".
Every religion is true one way or another. It is true when understood metaphorically. But when it gets stuck in its own metaphors, interpreting them as facts, then you are in trouble. - Joseph Campbell

I didn't make an introduction thread. I made a post in the introduction thread. Search user name "Heywood Jahblome" under introductions. Search select "posts" not "threads". And for the record, this was the OP in the thread titled "Is atheism responsible for mass shootings". Quote:Please don't hate me for starting this thread. Its not an attack on the validity of atheism. I am, however, suspicious that recent mass shootings might be an artifact of a growing trend in this country toward atheistic beleifs. My thinking goes like this: Imagine a pyscopath who believes in God. If that pyschopath get depressed and decides to kill himself he/she might refrain from killing others in the process because of a fear of going to hell. Remove that fear and you remove a layer of protection from innocent people. My last post in that thread was this: Quote:The title of this thread was ill concieved. The thread itself was ill concieved. I wish now I hadn't even started it....so I will grant you that.
I'm honestly baffled as to why a discussion would go on at this length about another effing forum.
I found that its much easier to be banned from religious forums than atheist forums, my god what did you do ???.

My recall is flawed. I think what colored my memory was that your argumentation on every subject was worded to attack a scientific view without clearly stating your theistic stance. I had not read your earliest threads.

"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."
