Cut and Paste
molbiogirl,
Some concerns on your posting style. I know you have read the guidelines, but your posts are primarily chat style and cut and pastes.
Bare links with no supporting discussion should be avoided. Make the argument in your own words and use links as supporting references.
Avoid lengthy cut-n-pastes. Introduce the point in your own words and provide a link to your source as a reference. If your source is not on-line you may contact the Site Administrator to have it made available on-line.
Our threads only last for 300 posts, so we like the posts in the debate threads to move the discussion forward and make each post count.
There is a chat area and a thread to let others online know that you wish to chat with someone specific.

Thank you Purple

    Quotes - molbiogirl and keys
    molbiogirl and keys:
    Just a note to be watchful of making sure that the reader can clearly discern who you are quoting.
    When you are pulling a quote from a post other than the one you are responding to, it is wise to note who wrote the quote.
    Example (You can use the peek button to see how I did this)
    iceage writes:
    Restoring a limb is nothing? Hmmmm. So while your God goes around answering Christian prayers for all sorts he just never got around to restoring a limb yet because he has not specialized in that.
    The evangelicals, Jeff Jansen and Patricia King of Global Fire ministries who promote the Gemstone miracles, also claim people being healed with new set of lungs and eyes and gold crowned teeth - but sadly for the amputees, no new limbs.
    You choice of words such as "Specialized" is odd. The creator of the universe needs to "specialize" in this sort of thing? Wow your vision of god is smaller than I thought.
    The other tactic is to refer to the message number. (Again use peek to see how it is done.)
    Example: I gotta go with what Iceage said in Message 280. Petty sort, that god of yours.
    Then quote what Iceage said.
    These little details can help avoid misunderstandings.
