However I know it certainly isn’t anyway to make friends... it certainly isn’t how I will argue.<BR/><BR/>But I have been told more than once that I have ‘insulted’ someone – the trouble here was that all I had done was to question someone’s belief which to me is not an insult on the person. So I don’t count this as insulting behaviour.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes the theist needs to lighten up when talking on atheist blogs... and maybe the atheist to have more understanding on certain matters when talking on theist blogs. I do try.<BR/><BR/>I also have seen (on certain atheist blogs anyway) a classic ‘chip on the shoulder’ from those who once were Christians and now don’t believe – they have gone through a lot and sometimes ‘strike out’ when hearing a sermon preached at them – I don’t like to see that but neither do I understand what they have been through. I’ve never believed as I have said.<BR/><BR/>Anyhow... onward and forward.<BR/><BR/>LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707252275624009014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12271749.post-71677800743118863482008-08-09T06:54:00.000-07:002008-08-09T06:54:00.000-07:00No I don't feel you've jumped against me too stron...No I don't feel you've jumped against me too strongly. There are a lot of questions that have been brought up, so it's just taking me a while to determine how to address them. Don't worry about scaring me off, I think the reception has been quite friendly (especially since a lot of people will just hurl insults, theists and atheists alike; but you all seem interested in carrying on a legitimate discussion). <BR/><BR/>I'll be stopping by soon.<BR/><BR/>God bless!<BR/>JoeyJosiahBattenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423335362293810370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12271749.post-78620348151624245602008-08-08T23:19:00.000-07:002008-08-08T23:19:00.000-07:00Nice - I take it you hold the opposite opinion... ...Nice - I take it you hold the opposite opinion... I could agree on some of them, not even I could write a book on the “merits of atheism”.<BR/><BR/>"the non-belief in gods... the end"<BR/><BR/>Not even a paragraph and very little merit :)<BR/><BR/>Oh, I hope you don't feel we have all jumped against you too strongly over at my place - we are just not use to theists paying us a visit so might have hit you all at once with our objections. <BR/><BR/>Sorry about that – on a different note, I have written a post about what it would take for someone to change their mind... more neutral territory that one. I wonder if you could make a comment about your own opinions.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, hope you feel you can come back anytime... <BR/><BR/>LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10707252275624009014noreply@blogger.com
