The Official God Thread - To Discuss God and Seek Answers

So only agnostics are open-minded? Everyone else is close-minded and not a free-thinker? haha

It's only closed when you assert or physically force beliefs onto individuals with nothing to realistically back it up (reason, logic) and say it's the only way of thinking. Anyone can be a free-thinker. I'm sure we can agree fanatics and extremists definitely aren't.

Edit: And yes, I acknowledge imagination as being direly important in some cases.

I have NEVER forced my beliefs on someone. On this forum for the most part people of other beliefs are the ones who bring it up and try to degrade my choice of religion. I understand and acknowledge other religions and never claimed not to, doesn't mean I can't be a Christian through and through.

NO Marie brings up all of these ignorant topic threads. Nobody degrades your religion again Marie does a good enough job herself in this area. And no one said you cannot be a christian. Be what you want to be, but don't go around pointing the finger when you cleary know who starts this crap.

haha nobody degrades my religion? read the thread then post.

NO maybe you should stop typing and re read what you my dear have posted. You and alot of others are so freaking hypocritical when it comes to your posts its unreal. I have NEVER met so called Christians like you and some others before (thankfully never met you in real life)!! Get a life and stop trying to put others down with your IMAGINATION talk of BUL**HIT!

Yes, it is called debate, but you did not debate in the above post when you called certain ones "so freaking hypocritical when it comes to your posts its unreal."  And this: "Get a life and stop trying to put others down with your IMAGINATION talk of BUL**HIT."  That sounds like hypocrisy to me, calling names, and refusing to debate and discuss their views.  You can't debate unless you are willing to listen and respond with adult conversation.

Maybe if the topic was an ADULT conversation I would have more compassion. But I do not. You guys can play the victim card all you want. No I will not listen to anything that comes from the mouths of people who are so small minded as to start a thread with the word retard in it and then countinue to talk about YOUR GOD..

I really hope you have read the complete thread.  There have definitely been adults having a debate in here.  Including people you tend to agree with.  The thread began "retarded" but has gone deeper into the subject.  Then you come in here stirring up the pot.  It is not "us guys" who are playing any victim card. It's you trying to stir up and get attention....

[AmyTrivitt]

Attention,,, for what? Don't flatter yourself honey.

The thread didn't start out retarded. I was sick of atheists and agnostics saying believers were not intelligent, which would be them being a retard. It is my understanding that, non believers think believers are retarded. So hence the title of the thread, If you believe in God, you are a retard.

I wish you had prove were one person has called you such a derogatory name.

I can give you proof, but it will take awhile to hunt down the posts.

Of being a retard? Good I would love to see them.

Lose the attitude.
Yeah, good thing we haven't met in person. People tend to act a lot tougher on a forum than in real life- so go on feeling big and bad talking down to people for no reason. I simply put MY 2 cents in on this thread, only to be degraded on it AND i didn't complain about it. Not one bit. Not until I was accused of degrading others, which is BS in itself considering ALL I was doing in defending my beliefs and not outing anyone else's.
I've seen you on other threads with your tough attitude, and it's very apparent that you use a forum as a way to make you feel good by talking down to others. What the hell does it matter to you if I love my God? It doesn't. && before you go on saying I tried imposing my views on anyone else, I sure did NOT. I joined in a DISCUSSION- I don't see you getting mad at anyone who shares YOUR views for not acting like an adult, although I didn't see the Christians on here provoking the immature conversations that spew, we only respond.
You want everyone to roll over and give in to your beliefs- it's not going to happen. I don't expect everyone to become a Christian because I'm a Christian? So feel free to keep your mouth shut, especially when you aren't even involved in this thread at all and just jumped at the chance to back a Christan- GET A LIFE.

Use what?
And i don't mind people putting in their 2 cents?
Why do you mind that I'm putting in mine?
Only people who agree with you can put in their 2 cents right?
Get off it.

ONE person started this thread. Quit lumping everyone into one category and proving how stereotypical you really are. Is every atheist the same? Then niether is every Christian.

Attention,,, for what? Don't flatter yourself honey.

Why else would you chime in 22 pages late on a thread only to run your mouth and put in no useful discussion towards the topic at hand?

[shernajwine]

I suppose even if the word retard hadn't been used (but marie showed that it has) the terms for our belief being called

delusional
lunacy
childish
immature
insane
crazy
unintelligent
dumb
nonsense
 (all of which have been used in this forum)

that's all perfectly acceptable, but we should never accuse anyone of calling us retarded....no....unbelievers would NEVER use THAT term right??

[jcribb16]

Attention,,, for what? Don't flatter yourself honey.

By the way, you shouldn't call me "honey."  Walksalone may misinterpret and think that we make a cute couple, too.  I certainly wouldn't want to be accused of that with you.  (Thread, page 20)

Marie, Mackenzie, and Sherene:  You did some good background proof and rebuttal back to her.  A lot happened since I went and came back from work.
