    Recovery from the occult forum - an explanation

    - I do find it remarkable that the objection to this forum has made a seemless transition from an accusation that forum members and the administration of the website were deliberately promoting Satanism through the secret forum to a range of concerns about its effectiveness in helping the...

    Non-Christians: How do you feel about the change?

    It was one of the more interesting dicussions I remember here. As I recall, I was just about to call it quits for the night when you showed up... I'll have you know work was rather difficult the next day. ...needed a Pink Floyd soundrtrack thouigh as I recall.

    Non-Christians: How do you feel about the change?

    Yeah, you never know when you are going to have a midnight discussion with some crazy person who believes in, like, square circles or something. :P

    Erwin, if you're still reading, then instead of replying post by post, why not just take some time to spell out your current plan in a full announcment. Then if you have time you could answer some questions posted in reply to that.

    If properly prepared, the sauce should already be cooked into the meat. ...I'll take two, with a side of ranch style potatoes. ;)

    Unfortunately, we keep bouncing back and forth between 2 different issues. My comment was directed at the question about the lack of a definition. I was specifically thinking about the number of people who have been hung up on this or that aspect of the Nicene Creed and/or the people who were...

    Definition is rarely a first step to any procedure. They are logically prior to conclusions, but in practice, definitions usually come about AFTER using a term for a bit. Holding off on a definition probably makes much more sense as a sales tactic than a debate one. If you and I are to bashu-up...

    It is odd to say the least. He obviously has something in mind which he has yet to explain to the forum as a whole. I assume, he actually believes de-emphasizing the name will help, though the specific reason has not been stated. Perhaps he feels outreach will be more successful if he eliminates...

    I beg your pardon!?! :cool: No Christian here has mentioned the EAC as of yet, and as per article 42b subsection ii-delta of our nonexistent manifesto (drafted by others of course), we are not to define the terms of our own activity. We are not involved in a conspiracy unless and until someone...

    Guess, you and I are back at loggerheads... That would bother me too. Of course the trick would be to determine if there were sometimes in which these charges were true and not others. Okay. True enough, and I don't fault anyone for defending themselves and/or their POV, or any other group...

    You're rght; it isn't relevant here. We can pursue it elsewhere if the opportunity arises. I must apologize as well because I have ceryainly directed some sarcasm you way. That was unnecessary. I am sorry.

    Fair enough, I reject belief in a creator God (amongst other gods). This leaves me free to believe either that the world was created from nothing or that it always was here in one form or another. It also leaves me free to be completely agnostic about the prospect of a beginning in time and/or...

    We're pretty much free-floating signifiers. Not so important for what we actually say or do as what would be fitting to import to us. Mad at a site change - blame the unbelievers (even if the all the evidence points quite clearly to Christians as the source of that change). Want to claim a...

    Given Asinner's faith icon, I somehow doubt that she would disagree with you ravendta, but you clearly misser her point (or simply chose to ignore it).

    Actually Time2BCounted, those are your words. You did just write them, and they ARE your responsibility. That you believe them to come from God does not absolve you of responsibility for your own actions. My words mean nothing to you, because I do not believe. So be it. Your faith is none...

    Here is your actual post. As I mentioned the first time, you included in your terms anyone who rejected Jesus' teachings. That certainly does include atheists (which should be QED right there). And in the present context it is very clearly a reference to those who express disagreement with...
