Saying "but it is amazing" ad nauseum doesn't convince people

The Jews rejecting Christ is a fulfillment of prophecy.


"He came unto His own, and His own received Him not" (John 1:11).

So at what point do you stop? When we ask? When you feel you have sufficiently injected your rhetoric into us to the point that we just start agreeing with you to shut you up? When you have us tied to a stake with a match lit and a smile on your face? When do you stop pressing on with it? If we're not interested why can't you leave it at that?

Why come and hijack a thread asking about Atheism and inject your beliefs into it? I imagine that if this were a "conversion" thread than it'd be in the Christianity forum. In fact, I have a novel idea. Why don't you start a thread in the Christianity Forum called "I want to witness to Atheists and Non-believers." There, how about that? If they aren't interested, then you don't have to waste your breath. If they are interested, then I'm sure you'll have their undivided attention.

I totally agree with troops here, unless someone is Asking or commenting on your personal beliefs their should be some self control.

Proselytizing on a thread desiring to understand Atheism, is kind of silly.

godspeed,

freedom

I just checked.... Apparently some sort of rift just opened up in the space-time continuum. It's supposed to close up soon so everyone can go back to fighting again.

Well this has become an incredibly long thread and maybe my contribution isn't worth much, but here's what this atheist stands for: leave me alone and I'll return the favor. It's that simple.

It's the second time actually. I don't remember what the first one was about though.

Your contribution is just as valid as anyone else's, i'll take that you mean leave you alone on the belief thing, as i hope no one truly wishes for complete solitude all the time. But i've been wrong before, am i wrong?

godspeed,

freedom
