Moonshiner, I forgot, when you actually joined the journey board ...but it used to be Perry, who got every now and then "heavy flak" from the believers, also because he wasn't always so very choosey about his wording himself.I reckon, I belong to the mentioned ilk...not that I see everything like Acheik does, but many times I do...bird of the same feather, I suppose...you on the other hand I could may be "classify" as agnostic (or rather atheist??) ?!...but you can do that yourself better...it does say though in the journeys guidelines, that we can discuss spiritual matters here, do you at all believe in the spiritual side of life??...Where I was really upset at you was, that this word "amaze" had the ring for me:now, still so foolish...if you know, that many are still believing on this site, why not having also some respect for it, since with a thousand links, you cannot prove, that there is no God, also that there wasn't an arc...so why not relax in your own lack of knowledge??Instead, you seem so easily offended, when you have to hear/read again, that people don't toss away their faith or rather stand up for it.Aren't you ok with that?
What material do you have at hand-mighty links-that should make us change our heart & mind?
I have no intentions in "converting" you, witnessing to you, but I am strongly opposed to any proud, arrogant behaviour, which suggests, that believers are some foolish, illiterate, illogical, abnormal people (although I'd make concessions on the latter one, for what is normal/accepted now in society is not really my personal yardstick)
All opinions should be welcome, I think it says in the guidelines & every now & then I also click on your links...I feel my heart & mind is pretty much set about a lot of things, so I am not waiting for another guru to teach me a mile more truth, but thanks for trying to enlighten us here...unless you just want to say: look, that's how I think nowadays, which is of course your right...
How come though, that I find a few of your comments condescending,... totally wrong impression?
By the way, I don't have much time, to come to Acheiks "defense"...cause I noticed, she does that
already herself....but why "whine", that no one defends you?Well,you got it probaby right, it's a majority/minority thing here...but on other boards you'd be in the majority...see?
