Christ did end up being crucified you know. It's not Christian to water down your positions in order to be popular.

Is this a non sequitur I see?
It's amazing 'science' always seems to 'find' whatever it is funded for, and never the oppsite. Drich.

I don't think it was to compare trolling to Chad tho. I think you missed the point of what she was saying.

What does that have to do with this? Nothing, that's what. They come here. Are you saying that we should handle them with kid gloves so that their feelings don't get hurt? You haven't been here long so I'm just going to say that some people here invite the backlash they get.
No one said he was. What's the point here?
Mathilda was telling her trolling story as a comparison to Chad.
And she was using her trolling as an example of poor behavior, not as a condemnation of Wooters as a troll.

"New game: rank our resident theists from least to most hypocritical." from Mark needs to continue here.
Mark is being especially cheeky today! lol
I vote all theists here to be on an equal footing.
If CL is offended by this, then she needs to be more vocal as to why!

Yes, because I was being odious and obnoxious on a discussion forum and being unpopular because of it. For me it was deliberate. For Chad it's because that's the way he is. You could easily make the same argument about me at the time because I didn't know how else to socially interact. We both had our reasons but the effect was the same. And my point is that the reasons are irrelevant. That's why the comparison is relevant.

I don't know about anyone else, but if any of our current Christian theists leave the site, I will miss them.

Examplers of Christ. Hmmm! I don't know why I would want to be like GC , Alpha Male, Chad, or Drich. That "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" aspect of Christianity always comes across as vanity to me.
God thinks it's fun to confuse primates. Larsen's God!

This annoyed me:
GodInfected Wrote: CL I understand this is a diversion for you from a past event, but doing the work God has for you in the church body would do the same thing and be productive in the Kingdom's work. I'm not advocating any of you leave, I would miss you it seems we've become a small family here, in a loose sense. I think the three of you need to re-evaluate and figure out where your time is best spent for God, this is suppose to be our life's mission. I see myself and I believe that Drich feels the same, we are here because God has His reasons for it.
And here you have an example of religion as a behaviour altering parasite. Once you are infected with the religion it diverts all your resources, time and energy to spread to other hosts.
Why can't CL just hang out here? Why does she have to be doing her god's work every waking moment of her life? Do theists only go to the pub / bar as well to spread their religion? What about when watching TV?
The best examples of theists on forums are those that do just hang out rather than preach all the time.
It's ironic that theists keep banging on about free will in making a choice to serve their imaginary god when it seems to result in a loss of free will after choosing to do so.

...and they’re trying to influence our decision making as much as possible, going so far as to make hell threats.
