It all seems to be quite mysterious and the many teachings we hear today only seem to muddle the truth. In my experience, I have only really been able to perceive these concepts in two main ways,…"
Chris Townsend replied to Robert Taylor's discussion 'The Rapture - 1st Thessalonians' in the group Atheist Bible Readers"Thank you, Sawyer, for your perspective!

Chris Townsend commented on Kirsten's blog post 'Do we fear determinism for the same reason we fear atheism?'"@ Atheist Exile - "And I see you STILL haven't cited your sources." = Are you talking about sources for credible theories and peer reviewed research speaking to pseudo-randomness and such?
If so, then you obviously have…"

Chris Townsend replied to Sassan K.'s discussion 'What is Exactly An "Atheist"'"Sassan,
We must remember that meanings of words typically vary across a spectrum of possible interpretations.
For instance, "God" has several meanings according to Merriam-Webster.com:

Thank you so much for your comment. I really like what you have had to say in this discussion, it has all been really well put. I really appreciate your effort to guide me in my efforts to dialogue within the…"
Chris Townsend replied to Aimee Eisiminger's discussion 'This woman really pushes my buttons'"If you answer a fool according to his folly, you will be like him. Instead, answer a fool as his folly deserves and he has no chance of seeing himself as the wise one in the situation.
If one humbles oneself, he will find an open…"

Mallory said… - I've been following your discussion that seemed to be the talk of the town for awhile. Honestly, I was quite amused to follow that thread. I don't tend to judge people until I've had my own experience talking with them, and you were no exception. Thank you for taking the time to reply to my question with a lot of helpful bits of info and advice. I really do appreciate it. While I'm still a little confused about who you are and what you stand for, I do know you helped me. And that's awesome. :)

Dave G said… Chris,
If you are going to be posting a lot, you need to use the reply button below people's posts, not the one for the original comment. It makes following the discussion difficult.
