PG, it's not your Christianity that is the issue, it's your total failure to even attempt to support any of your many charges and assertions.
You're not getting it. It is my experience on this board that regardless of 'evidence' provided, the evidence is refused as such, and denied as such. That establishes a basis for going round and round and round, you say my example is NOT what I think it is, I say my example IS what I think it is. Stalemate!
I believe Christians fare poorly here, you believe they don't.
Stalemate!
Find yourself someone else who will engage you in circular discussion. Matters to me not what you think of me and my methods. I decide when enough is enough.
It is enough!

Actually, that's not true at all.
I have trouble tolerating the words you say regarding science and logic.
================================
Why, Schraffie, you sweet thing.
Thank you for your comments.
The thread is not for apologies, but for Christians to consider the words of Christ.

But once again, you provide NO evidence
Please reread your post.
Once agin you have ridden in, tossed out a firebrand and then ridden off into the night.
It is my experience on this board that regardless of 'evidence' provided, the evidence is refused as such, and denied as such.
That might be true but when no evidence is offered, how could anyone know?
That establishes a basis for going round and round and round, you say my example is NOT what I think it is, I say my example IS what I think it is.
Could be but when no evidence is offered, how could anyone know?
I believe Christians fare poorly here, you believe they don't.
As a Christian, I have never found I was treated poorly here except by Christians.
You may well believe that but when no evidence is offered, how could anyone know?
Find yourself someone else who will engage you in circular discussion. Matters to me not what you think of me and my methods. I decide when enough is enough.
It is enough!
So yet again, you make an unsupported assertion and when you are asked to provide support you simply refuse.
Yet you are allowed to continue posting here.
How is that an example of being treated poorly?
What does your being a Christian have to do with it?

Great stuff, eh?
No need to respond, I wanted to share a beautiful piece of music.
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord.
I play the flute and don't charge much.
Psalm 2
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

I guess the whole "sense of humor" thing is kind of a work in progress for you, huh?
If I ever start a band, I'm gonna call it "House at R'lyeh". Please don't take this as a serious desire on my part to see a giant squid-god devour the Earth.

Re: And with strange ons, even the point of a thread may die
My band's gonna be called "Bring Back the Diphthong".
Crap, someone more or less beat me to it:
Dipthong is a 4 piece heavy rock band from Tewksbury, MA. Although originally formed in 1999, a recent line-up change has brought their music to new levels. They combine huge melodies with even bigger riffs making extremely unique, yet familiar, rock music. Dipthong’s 4 song EP Benzofluoranthene is an excellent showcase of their songwriting and musicianship.

I hear they're revolutionizing the Tewksbury sound.

Isn't it far more directly in your power? I know you christians like to play the martyr bit but what don't you stop posting if you don't like it here?

Re: Do the Heathen Rage?
I wasn't raging against Christianity. I was raging against you, and deservedly so. Getting too personal was what I was admonished for. There's a difference.

You would like that.
Instead, I find it far more effective to simply point out that while you cry about being mistreated, you have NEVER provided any evidence or support for any of your assertions.
In fact, you are being held to MUCH lower standards than other memebrs here at EvC. You have consistently been allowed to violate the guidelines. You have consistently been granted special treatment and consideration.
The evidence for that is that you have been allowed in thread after thread to make assertions and when challenged, to continue without providing support or evidence. This very thread is evidence in support of that assertion.
Instead of the Heathens Raging, they are being most kind and considerate of you, bending over backwards to grant you every opportunity, overlooking all of your transgressions, pardoning your offenses and granting you special status and privilege.
It is obvious that the Heathen are behaving in a more Christian manner than you.
