[Étienne d'Angleterre]

This goes out to anyone who looks in on this forum but hasn't yet joined.

I have to say that I have no regrets on starting posting a few weeks ago.

So come on in the water is lovely, whatever your opinion or views might be.

Hear hear!

The few that have joined, or come back, recently though are non theists. I feel they may not be inclined to do so, and this board may change into a political and philosophical one.

Possibly because most of the English-speaking world is becoming non-theist.

I think that's because the theists here are always getting their arses handed to them.

By "theists" I mean Christians, we also have some pagans who don't seem to come in for the same roasting, probably because they accept their faith is faith.

That is lovely (not that I am a 'long time poster' compared to others but I really like this forum.

I accept that my faith is ''faith'', in the sense that I cannot prove it, jeremy.

Then what would be the point of this forum?

[jeremyp]

Then what would be the point of this forum?

Why does it need a point?

[Jack Knave]

Why does it need a point?

It was created for those wanting to discuss religion in all its forms. If that goes then it will just end up as a group talking jibber-jabber and non-sense to each other....though that may be what we've been doing anyway  . Also, I have noticed that some atheists need their daily rant at the theists. If they don't get this then they may withdraw into themselves and wither away....

............or, unlike you Jeremy they have a life.

[Walt Zingmatilder]

If you're anti theist and want your ego massaged then this is the forum for you.

[Jack Knave]

If you're anti theist and want your arse soaped and your ego massaged then this is the forum for you.

And you are a real Pro at providing a first class service for this...

He can't prove his beliefs either.

What a laugh.....Religionethics where antitheists are antitheists and theists are scared.....Ho Ho.

[Gonnagle]

Dear Jeremyp,

My arse as you so eloquently put it has never been in a sling, I may have been wrong, at times, and those very few times I have been wrong ( for a given wrongness ) I have always admitted it ( for a given admittedness ).

No, given the fact that we are outnumbered on here, I think we theists do very well in the arseslingingest way of things.

And to end, further, to add to the discourse, the ego of the onetruewayism of the atheist, I may be delusional, insane, indoctrinated but it all makes me feel very human.

Further even, I echo our newest recruit, young Stephano, lurkers come on in the water is positively sparkling.

Gonnagle.

Are you referring to me?

[Walt Zingmatilder]

Are you referring to me?

Is your name Jeremy, Stephen?

[Étienne d'Angleterre]

Is your name Jeremy, Stephen?

No, but it seemed a reasonable question.


Are you ever going to give  us your methodology?

[SweetPea]

Lol! Stephen that should read..... Come in the waters are shark infested....

Beware, the R&E forum..... enter if you dare...

Spoken in a deep gravelly voice....

Unfortunately like much of science religious experience is instrumental.........with yourself as the instrument.

Apart from that God crops up in philosophy, moral philosophy and cosmogony. And of course Religion itself........seek and he shall find.

I know, the theists are a bit grumpy, but come in anyway

I am seeking. I am finding nothing other than assertion though.

Let's keep that to the other thread though.

I'm sorry to break this to you Len, I'm afraid the sun has set on the British empire....
