2. Of course. It wouldn't happen straight away, humans are stubborn, but eventually i would realise that god does exist."

Brian Daurelle replied to Trevor's discussion 'Are atheists persecuted in the US?'"One would certainly think it's a crime of some sort to be an athiest (or, at times, even a non-christian) in the states, seeing our politicians and military men trip over each other to get as close to the foot of the cross as possible. I…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Nate,
There wasn't anything backhanded or manipulative about it, it was barefaced, up front humour. I wouldn't expect anyone to seriously take it as a compliment, but as intended - humour. I enjoy humour Nate,…"
Trevor replied to Brittany Mezzo's discussion 'My Thoughts on Why Some Don't Give Up Religion'"HI Reg
I am sorry, I didn't mean to ignore your post, I didn't see it. Got lots of discussions on the go and generally biting off more than I can chew! ;-)
All religions cannot be valid because they contradict each…"
M replied to Trevor's discussion 'Are atheists persecuted in the US?'"I myself haven't experienced discrimination. People generally get to know me prior to discovering my atheism, and then it's hard to be hateful. :o) However, I refuse to reveal my atheism to anyone where I work. I…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"I like you John. You are a voice of reason in a sea of.. well something else. ;-)"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Thats what I like Mabel, an atheist with a sense of humour! Keep it up, you bring colour into the world."
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Hi Mabel, you may well be right. What I was trying to get at / counterbalance was the tone of the replies that the lady was getting that portrayed her as a victim and the LDS people as evil. It wasn't meant to be particularly personal, I…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Its not late here, its early morning. I am getting ready to leave for church.
Sounds to me like a man who hasn't gone anything to back up his wild claims. Your not right about the burden of proof. We are not discussing…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"My friend, in the nicest way I have thought and studied these things atleast at degree level. So I don't talk out of complete ignorance of the issues, though I am no expert. For making such grand dismissive statements can I ask what you…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"That would be a matter of opinion.
1. whether reward and punishment statements are valid depends on the truthfulness that they point to. parents do it all the time, but parenting isn't a cult.
2. Fabrications etc is just your…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Smarmy is a new one! I don't mean to be, however, I do have a keen sense of humour that I don't always communicate well."
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Nate, a bit of the meaning of the word cult.
A lot of words have different nuances (semantic range) of meaning and the context in which they are found is decisive for understanding the meaning correctly.
If you read all the definitions of the word…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Hi , thats a little unkind! ;-) I'm sorry that you seem to think that disagreeing with atheism is condescending and point scoring. I actually have no debate experience, and this is the first atheist website I have ever been…"
Trevor replied to T's discussion 'Respectful Discussions with LDS Missionaries'"Not sure what your on about here Nate. My comments were not based on theism or atheism being true or false, and certainly not based on supporting LDS. I don't think I did anything sneaky either. It was just a comment about…"

Kris Feenstra said… Try and be mindful that this is a niche site for atheists and non-religious people. While I don't want to stifle your views, your tone is questionable. Your posts have stated or implied that various atheists views are absurd, delusional, at the philosophical level of a six-year-old, and disingenuous. If that's your genuine opinion, then it is what it is -- certainly many members here are not so kind to theism so I can't fault you alone for being tactless.
If, on the other hand, you're just looking to aggravate members, I ask that you give deeper consideration to what you want out of your participation here.Kris

I understand it's not easy never has gotten easy for me. I think I've been for 2 years not that long, but it's worth it.
