T.A.M.
Because you seem to post sincere questions, let me respond to you sincerely... as like with like...in (...)
For someone with such a strong faith in a benevolent God, (JESUS) you seem very malignant. (Yesd as he also is not a whimp... and called spades spades when they acted like spades... and when these scribes and pharisees attacked with foolish questions mockery and deceptions. Sometimes you have to be straight forward with the rude and crude for the sake of others) You come in here and insult people here. (NO, they insult me and call me all kinds of names, and try to stop honest threads with foolish posts and condemning posts. have you not read this) Now don't get me wrong, you are not straight forward in your methods. You package your distain, your dislike of those who post here, with articulate language, so the sting is subtle, rather than a smack in the face, but still you are awefully malicious. (Yes I don't like the rude and crude, and those that intentionally try to wreck honest conversations... The Lord also sdoesn;t have much patience with them, if you have read his words.)
You say we stand for nothing (ie we are without conviction), (NO, some of you, notice Pagan's remarks, notice your own, there are divergences of opinion, only the majority HERE stand for nothing. because the majoprity HERE are anti-conspiracy false skeptics, who are afraid to stand up for anything) you say we are not worthy of being someones concience. (NO, I said that to the person who signed himself as my consience,.... and so I posted back to him... and then extrapolated to other false skeptics, who have to learn to have a foundation and principles on which to discern) You call us "false skeptics" (NO the majority of you, not ALL, as anyone can choose to become a true skeptic, even within this thread and change sides, rationally and logically. people can change and choose to change) knowing we take our roles as skeptics quite seriously...insulting us really.
(NO the truth is there are two types of skeptics, some true some false. and this is the truth we are going over HERE, because I also deem myself a true skeptic as I am definitely skeptical about what the governments tell us)
Why is such a devout believer in god so mean to fellow human beings? (Not to all, only to the mean, and the vile and the rude and the foolish who have proven beyond a doubt that they are foolish and mean and rude and crude and worse. This Jesus did as well... I must post you what you said to the false skeptics of his day... and it was not an isolated case.)
