You, Taz, on the other hand are a complete and total asshole who no one likes. That's the sad part. People would actually care more about a creationist that disagrees with them than you, an obnoxious douche bag with no point to make on any thread ever.
Oni, don't be so coy and bashful. Stop holding back and let him know how you truly feel. Don't sugarcoat it!

I have resolved to work HARD on being, "at peace with all men".
P.s. I am not an enemy of atheists.
You were more at peace with everyone before you were so sure of yourself, your faith, and your destiny.
You still have a kind disposition and an amicable personality, but there is a sense amongst your peers that you have lost some of your humility and traded it in for assuredness.

It's not assuredness, it's that a deduction is the same as getting a maths problem correct, only we are using language, that foggy problem!
I'm not saying I agree or disagree, I'm just relaying what I've heard during my tenure at EvC. I don't know you well enough to judge your character other than what I've seen, and you've always been kind and respectful that I've witnessed.

Re: See you later
Could very well be. If Taz focussed on being a good person, I mean really, really focussed.. then there'd be a decent chance that he'd realise that he can't actually be a good person.
Which, I think, is what the "real Christ" set out to teach both in word and in (by comparison with his) deed
The whole salvation thing is very circular and certainly by appearances looks like a giant Ponzi scheme.
He imparts certain natural predilections in the form of instincts and tells you will go to hell if you act upon those God-given impulses. Then he offers a way out of hell which is to accept his sacrifice. But you're still left with the desire to sin, which he gave to you, whether you accept or deny the sacrifice.
So, what's the point?
Why even create the possibility of sin, or even the material world if the temporal world ultimately means nothing?
What on earth is the whole point?
