I don't think anyone has ever really understood anything I've said, or they have, and they think it's not sound. I have a need to bang my head against the wall. Perhaps masochistic?
I think for sites like this, generally it's just a hobby of arguing/debating. A lot of what I hear, well, most of what I hear, hasn't got any sort of formal validity whatsoever. What we hear most is our subjective opinions.
There was one fellow who has some affinity with me, Parasomnium. I don't think it was a coincidence that he was the only one who was able to NEARLY solve the riddles I created. Therefore it was refreshing to know that atleast one person understood the way I thought, and it didn't bother me that he was atheist.
Hope you're still around Para'.
Also, I think a lot of people here, in my experience, are very argumentative. I won't name names but some folk would disagree with you that the sky was blue, if you stated that the bible said that the sky was blue. it can be quite funny to provoke them, and watch teh tangeant you get back.
But I have EVOLVED personally.
I was;
YEC for about 2-3 years.
Then theistic evolutionist.
Then atheist for around 5 months.
Now I am more Christian than ever I would say.
Now I have erred slightly back in favour of creationism, as I have heared new compelling arguments. (Not the usuals, such as Kinds, LOL, I infact refer to seminars where they went into the details of a birds ability to fly, and how designs in critters are just too incredible to come along by themsleves. Also, abiogenesis is a complete faith position to me, which overwhelmingly favours an intelligence).

How is it my post gets attacked but not the others?
Are you trying to prove everything I say? As far as I know, we were asked for our opinions. I didn't attack the other posts, so why do you attack mine. Can't you even take it when one person speaks against your position, even when I can take it when many speak against my position?
What would you have me say?

Re: Conversion
The cult of atheism always welcomes new recruits. Come join the darkside. You know you want to really.........
Haha. If it is of any interest, I was atheistic for a while because a few years back I couldn't get what I wanted in life and God wouldn't deliver. Even at this forum you could find posts by me, rigorously promoting atheism and skepticism. At that time I was celebrated as being a wiz.
I know we all change, and I understand all positions, having been in them. My biggest problem is me. It would be heavenly to actually know the truth, as my mind has caused me many strifes and depressions over the years.
as long as you seek the truth, genuinely, I don't have that much against you, as I would accept the truth whatever it was, however painful. Even I, at night, when I get claustrophobic, have wondered if there is only an abyss that follows the desperation to breathe and live.
I don't know. perhaps there is. If there is I can't say sorry for being wrong as I won't be there, so I apologise now incase I am.
Bye for now my argumentative friend.
