Thank you!
August 4, 2015 at 11:42 am
I'm coming back as a participant in the discussion forums after taking some time off with no initial intentions of coming back.
For that, I would like to thank the people who reached out to me in kind messages after I left: Tiberius, KevinM1, Whateverist, Abaris, Emjay, Robvalue, Parkers Tan, Nestor, and Tartarus Sauce.
And also Minimalist and Rexbeccarox, who messaged me with some words of encouragement on that day.
Thank you!
(I'll probably avoid getting into deep discussions about my faith, as doing so has proven quite pointless and seldom leads to good, respectable discussion. So if I don't respond to one of your posts, please don't take offense and please don't think I blocked you!)

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Yay! Welcome back CL
I was hoping you would return!
I'm totally fine with you not discussing your faith, you have no obligation to do so.

Awesome! I loved having you around.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Excellent news. This forum is better with good theists in it.

Make him confess. Tell the nice lady how you've been bad, really bad.
