Hello
April 17, 2010 at 12:35 am
I've been searching for a forum where I could have intelligent debate and conversation without all of the juvenile namecalling and such.

I'm an athiest, I have been for a while now, however I was raised Pentecostal, so I do have a background in fringe denominations. I'm always happy to debate, although I have never had a formal debate, so I'm somewhat new to the concept. I have been lurking for a bit, and I like what I see so far.

Formal debates are boring.

Just pick a fundie and start yelling at them. It isn't as if they listen.


Nice to meet you, though.

Hi and Welcome. Without the name calling you say? Perhaps I should try that some time.
Best regards,

Welcome Demon.

"Fringe denomination"?! - pentecostalism is huge! Catholicism, being thoughtlessly obligatory, hardly counts IMO Wink

Welcome! Big Grin

"Intelligent debate and conversation without namecalling and such."

I'm afraid you will see some unintelligent debate and conversation with namecalling from time to time... Devil

We-ell.... :S This is a forum where there is a lot of intelligent debate and conversation... but that isn't to suggest that we don't have any 'juvenile name-calling'. This would be a very boring place if we didn't call each other names or act immature, insane, or silly once in a while (or in my case, consistently) Dodgy

Can I call you 'Bob'? Smile (Since you might not know me yet, that last question was satire, which i've just ruined by making this notation Sad)

Recommendation there: don't. It is rather not fun, and causes you all sorts of stresses you just don't get otherwise :S

And I've been waiting for an excuse!
