You should try to be more civil.
There's s report button specifically for your upset in this matter.
Sarcasm has a rich and storied history of working to show how goofy some ideas may be.
So, as your only complaint is my comments caused you upset...
Yeah, I tried that. They dismissed it without comment. They warn me every time I so much as have a hint of "tone" in my voice. But atheists get a pass--even the rude ones. It's a joke.
The mods are a diverse group religious-wise, and hold themselves tightly to a standard of equal treatment for all.
I really can't wait until I'm back on Facebook.
It has been this way in these forums since I started in them in 1996, I think it was. It's frustrating, but what can you do?
Maybe try to understand why someone'd be so sarcastic when they encounter the statements you present.
They moved my argument for the existence of God out of the philosophy board.
So instead of being upset about it, try to learn why your argument might not fit the criteria.
They delete my posts.
If I recall correctly, I saw otseng had mentioned it happened to one. And explained how he couldn't get it back.
Let me be clear here,
otseng, a Christian, bends over backwards to try to accommodate as many folks, and their personal ways of expression, as he possibly can.
But that has always been the case with atheists from the beginning of my debating them. The unfair treatment is just proof of the weakness of atheism.
You say you've been debating all this time, and with so many,
yet you don't recognize the fallacious blanket statement.
You know, there's only about 10 active members in this group. It's been around forever, and this is what's left of it.
What group are you referring to?
Christian groups aren't any better. Actually, they're worse. But that's the way people are.
Try a mirror. When I think everyone around me is a jerk, maybe it's just me.
So, you get a free pass to abuse me online, my friend. But see? I'm talking to you anyway.
Try to see how my sarcasm was directed at your ideas, and not you.
Try to understand how your approach might be off-putting to the point folks just dismiss it out of hand.
I might be Teddy Roosevelt, but I ain't.
