Why Belief?

Morte, perfect.EXCEPT... next time you have something to say on the OFF-TOPIC part of this thread, instead of suggesting opening a new thread AND THEN RESPONDING, just open a new thread! It really is just that easy. This is a thread simply asking what is the root of individual people's beliefs. There are many other threads for argumentation about those beliefs. You can start a thread to talk about TV, Sex, and Religion. This thread is for little parables and personal memories.It really is that easy, people.This message has been edited by AdminBen, Friday, 2005/05/06 11:35 AM

Then I'd suggest next time replying to the on-topic post, and to cut the continued talk about TV. Given the line of posts previous to you, including the one you responded to, and your continued discussion of TV, it was hard for my little brain to figure out your purpose.Also as a suggestion for you (and others here), phrasing things in the form of questions ("Was it really TV? Or was it some other factors, for example... ?") is much better for staying on topic than making "corrective" comments. These kinds of "corrective" comments do not obviously tie back into the original topic, and people responding to simply answer your comments will be off-topic. What is on-topic is a discussion of that person's experience.Thanks.

You two should be experienced enough to see when a debate changes to simply bickering. This is a debate forum, not a bicker-fest.If you two are interested in discussing this topic, open a new thread and present arguments. Since both of you both presented your arguments and neither is convinced of the other's position, I don't see the purpose of it. It'll just wind up in another bicker-fest.For here, this argument was tangentially on-topic, but at this point there's no purpose in continuing here.Crash, watch it with the personal attacks: If you think this way, then take it as a sign to stop debating Faith. Either debate the issues without these kinds of comments, or don't debate.Closing down for a bit to "cool off"This message has been edited by AdminBen, Thursday, 2005/05/12 07:38 AM

The question is, "Why Belief?" This a thread telling personal experiences or a story about what made you come to believe in your current religion.If you find you have questions about somebody's story, ask away.If you want to debate the validity of somebody's story... take it to another thread. This is not the place to be doing that.Questions? Problems? Feeling ill because you just want to scream? Follow the links below people.Added subtitleThis message has been edited by AdminBen, Thursday, 2005/05/12 11:32 AM
