Hey! You never responded to me or challenged my ideas! What gives? How the heck am I supposed to defend my position if you don't even say a damn thing?
Also, I don't think my point was ever "Let Me Prove God". I just never said that, nor do I think I can. Believe it or not, I have zero interest in converting people to my religion... which is funny because you don't even know what my religion is. All I was advocating was the 'open mind' thing, as well as the embrace of tolerance rather than grumbling, angry reaction.
Bah, oh well. I still think you're a cool person, and FYI, you could just say, "Hey, stop posting, I want to rant" and it would've been golden. I can get along with atheists, I'm married to a Hindu (a faith I disagree with) and a Deist (ditto), and I can't think of a single time when our different faiths have ever caused a problem. Why can't we all just sit around and talk about this stuff?
Whatever you gotta do is what you gotta do. This is a little upsetting, 'cause I dig you in person, and I can't jive you saying this sort of stuff to my or anybody else's face with intent to harm. Maybe I should be more annoyed at the internet, where people who are wholly silent about their faith are cast as fanatics, your computer choice is a reflection to character, and the struggle for a peaceful middle ground is a sign of intellectual weakness.
But hey, have a good time making up crap about me. One thing is certain, the internet has never and will never value truth over the strength of a good story.
