How to praise a member's post:

- Next to the user's post that you like, click on "MPG Donation".
- Enter how many tokens you'd like to donate and enter a comment on that particular post. It'll then send a PM to that user and also automatically post in this thread the message you entered.
- MPG donations may not be used for anything other than to praise a post or to acknowledge agreement. It cannot be used to denigrate, debate, or question a post.

I am sorry if I hurt your feelings.
Maybe you should consider answering posts appropriately?
Then I wouldn't need to make assumptions about your positions and rational discussion could take place?
I will never understand how someone who claims to know the ultimate truth, of God, believes they deserve respect, when they cannot distinguish it from a fairy-tale.

Yes. For example, the Jehovah's Witnesses shun "apostates." They will break up marriages, families, and friendships in doing so.
Very valid point. So what you have is an illusion of unity.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

What a powerful message this must send to people who are where you were a few years ago.

I trust they greatly respect and appreciate your words.

God bless.
Proverbs 18:17 The one who states his case first seems right, until the other comes and examines him.

This is very standard for ex-Christians. Yet Chrisitans continue to try to come up with other reasons why people fall from the faith. Non-standard reasons. Sometimes even nonsense reasons.

I see it as doing their darndest to avoid facing the reality that Christianity and the bible just isn't all it's cracked up to be.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

I doubt you will get any response, but well played...
