Christian here to show the truth... (Again)

Not trying to stir the pot for the sake of doing it, but I honestly when debating these fringe Christians, began to wonder if some of you were members of that site. It's like they found something they wanted to believe and then filled in the gaps with 'evidence.' If they could not win me with their 'evidence' the name calling started.

That's just confirmation bias-- we tend to seek out and more readily accept information that supports what we already believe, and we are likely to avoid or more readily reject information that contradicts what we believe. And pretty much by definition, it means that we're pretty sure it's something that everyone else but we are afflicted with.

Welcome back, Drich. Hope all is well.

Welcome back Drich.

Are you insightful enough to see that you have the same bad habits as everybody else?

[rexbeccarox]

Intro forum?

Dammit.

Welcome back, I suppose.

Congratulations on having them change their url, that's impressive. When I trolled in my younger days, with stupidity, I couldn't ever get anyone to do that!

I took a little break here, and moved on to greener pastures for a while, and it seems that I killed the grass their too.

Welcome back, Drich, I had wondered to where you'd gone off.

Alas I know what you 'good' people must feel like when censored by Christian websites.

It doesn't offend us to call us good, so if it's for our sake, no need for the scare quotes. If it's to point out that we're not actually good, I'd say that's not very classy, and arguably unChristian.

I went on a mission to explore some of the more fringe parts of Christianity, and even took some of your arguments, and the better parts of the ad hoc reasoning I got from you guys, and met with some success.

Good for you! I'm glad you got something out of your experiences.

What did I learn from all of this? That their is only one difference in the fanatical beliefs of a boarder line faith in God/brand of Christianity, based believer, and they middle of the road atheist/misotheist.

It is what they believe not how they believe.

That sounds like an interesting observation. I'm interested in learning what you mean by it.

Have you heard the story about the traveler who asked the local what the people in the area are like?

That said I was eventually censored then all together bann. A few weeks later they even changed the whole web address.

So I took a few weeks of and made my way back here.

We're not quick to ban. It's not how much you disagree with us that gets you banned around here, just whether you follow the rules or not, and you've done a middling job of doing so here. I hope you find your visit productive.

I am curious about something Drich. Did God send you here to try and convert us or are you here to entertain yourself?

[Whateverist]

misotheist

That could catch on.

Welcome back. If you and the missus aren't doing anything we're having a little ongoing party on the deck of reverino's ark. Lots of fun, but be sure to bring the missus. Losty could use the help.

I know. It isn't like our souls are just going to save themselves.

If she is blind then why do her selfies have her looking into the camera lens?

A selfie is the case where I'd expect a blind person to be able to 'look into' the camera lens. They're usually, perhaps by definition, done with the camera in one of the picture-takers own hands. I believe I could paint eyes on my eyelids, close my eyes, and take a pic where my 'eyes' would appear to be looking into the camera lens.

I may be too trusting...but maybe you're too suspicious....

Those on the fringes of Christianity have been labeled as cults by the Christian community at large. Those steeped in legalism or adhearance to doctrine over what the bible actually says

I'm not trying to challenge you, but that's a pretty broad brush which describes a lot of Christian sects. By cults, are you refering to Jehovas Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Science, and such?

Wait'll you find out what Drich believes....

How are you defining fringe Christians and radical beliefs?

I always think of JW's, Mormons, Christian scientists, snake kissers, tongue speakers, zombie followers, sycophants and that sort.

Your prior experience on this board should have shown you that anyone here who professes a belief in God, or is conservative, is considered by most members, fringe and radical.

And here I though we might not agree on anything. (Wait. Are you baiting me?)
