Just in case Snakeman is reading this post:
I must admit, it's truly a marvellous thing. You have this uncanny ability to change someones internet nick as if you're making some kind of important statement. What that statement might be exactly is beyond my grasp, and while the general activity would usually signify some attempt at derision or insult, in this instance it has most certainly fallen flat on it's face.
If at all possible though, I would ask if you could dispense with the fun and games and apply a little maturity. The same would go for your wonderful animated gifs, which while suited to pre-teen websites, don't quite fit on a forum where adult discussion is the main focus.
The laws you mentioned were written for the lawless, not for believers.
This could turn out to be a rather convenient escape clause if it wasn't quite so clearly ludicrous. You and I are both aware of this, and while it might aid you to make light of your mistake by lying about it to me, what is the benefit of lying to yourself, because that is afterall who you are lying to. You don't need to make excuses to me, I'm a complete stranger to you, but if you cannot be honest to yourself at the very least, you should start to question why.
A simple: 'Yes, I have done something I should not', or 'my apologies, I'm not perfect', would have come across as a lot more honest and the issue would have been finished right there. It is however normal for someone who has dug a small hole to proceed in digging a larger one.
Let me know if you truly believe the quote you have left and we can discuss it further. Think about it before you answer though, and remember that the hole doesn't lead anywhere but down.
You were the first to start the "greater fool" discussion.
I apologise for my errors.
In conclusion, why do atheists even bother to come to a religion forum, when it's all make believe to them?
The reasons will differ from person to person, and very often the starting reasons are to ask some simple questions about doubts that person might have concerning one of a gazillion beliefs. Generally those questions never get answered.
Overall you'll probably find this is more of a lack-of-religion forum, (being mainly atheist/agnostic). Of course, we do have great tolerance for people of all beliefs, but retain the right to question them. The same cannot be said in reverse. I cannot even count the amount of sites that have refused me access based solely on my internet nickname. It seems the word 'snake' is a bit of a no-no with the religiously minded. That's not to mention the amount of religious sites that ban anyone who doesn't have 'I love jesus' as his forum sig. Christians are not a very tolerant bunch of people, which is quite odd given the words of jesus.
As for me, I simply came here to invite you all to my evolution service next Sunday.
And if anyone even dares to disagree then gang up and roast them.
That does happen, but generally because you ask for it. When you make ludicrous statements and fail on all counts to answer any questions posed to you, it can irritate people. This can escalate further when the person being asked a question changes forum account to escape it, changes back to escape questions posed to his alter ego, makes groundless claims without being able to back them up, and cannot manage a sorry when he does make mistakes, (and yes, we all make mistakes in life - it's all about how we handle things after the mistake has been made).
Further to which, everyone has the right to opinion, and is entitled to give it here. As a result you will see many people making posts. It isn't "ganging up", but simply everyone excercising their right to freedom of speech.
It's most likely you will ignore all of this post and revert back to your method of posting animated gifs, but I sincerely hope you can move beyond that and gain something of value from what I have written. That is upto you.
