If he was to muster the courage to do that, why -- someone might point a finger at him!!
Your just jealous because I'm not a know-it-all bitter-fossil like yourself.

So the phrase 'bottomless pit of nonsense' has two meanings.

You were correct, your post IS blatant dishonesty.

I have a request. This being Easter Sunday, can we at least be kind to one another? Reading through the last couple of days' posts on here, I have been very saddened by how unkindly posters treat one another. I'm not god and I can't insist that you all behave, but seriously, can we keep the discussion respectful? Atheists will continue to not believe and put up science and logic to prove their point. Believers will point to their internal beliefs and faith. Perhaps nary the twain shall meet. I would ask that you not frame your arguments as win/lose. There are no winners or losers, just different ways of interacting with the world. I, for one, do not believe that faith is something that will ever be "provable". it exists or does not exist within each individual. I am very sorry for the posters who were exposed to religion, especially Christianity that did not have love, forgiveness, acceptance or kindness as its basic tenets. Anyway, we can agree to disagree, but, especially on this day, can the Christians at least remember that Jesus would have us love one another? End of lecture.

Careful before someone throws another banana peel on the floor.

Being a Christian festival, perhaps "a man reaps what he sows" is appropriate.

Do you understand that for most of the planet Easter Sunday is just another Sunday?

R&S is more of a free-for-all sub-forum in which only some participants are Christians. I'm quite certain there's a "Happy Easter" thread of some sort in Christianity and probably more positive vibes happening over there.

But I do indeed wish you and yours a happy Easter.

If you agree to disagree you remove the opportunity of getting on a soapbox and claiming victimhood every day. The victimhood is why they have to be here. Well, that and ego strokes.

Thank you. It is my belief, as a Christian, that it is up to Christians to model the behavior that Jesus taught. Let's sow love, here and elsewhere.

I do not even know which side you are referring to.....but I would ask, if you are representing Christianity, you remember what Christianity is all about and present your arguments lovingly, not unkindly.
