When Riski tried to get things back onto the topic of Christianity, he was slapped as a bigot.

Your corrected on the issue in the very post you quoted and just blatently strut out the exact same statement again.

We've both been on this board long enough to know that when I'm wrong I'll admit it. You have been known to do the same thing.
Considering the above. This is ironic. Or overlooked.
Is the one comment that was entirely true but you did not like enough to anger you so much you spend the next couple of pages being aggressive and strutting out all kinds of statements that you know are false but just want to get a rise out of people?

Irony isn't your strong point is it.
You see it many places where it is not. So I'm thinking you're not too clear on what irony is.

Anyone who thinks a god exists isn't open minded enough to see what's going on around them. There is no one more blind than he who will not see.
It's funny that Christians will talk about seeing and being blind and then they turn around and say that what they 'feel' in their 'hearts' and 'souls' as faith is more important than that which can be seen with their very own eyes.
You're assuming that I've never seen God's effect on people, that I've never seen proof of God's existence.

It's not an assumption. We've asked you for this proof, and you've remained suspiciously elusive. Nothing new here, of course, we've been asking theists for proof since before Christ.

1) It should have been you're - your denotes ownership.
2) I'm not sure what to call it, but I'll settle for it being an incorrection. I repeated what was posted by cutting and posting it from the original post. Therefore it remains a true and accurate representation of exactly what was originally posted.

You should talk to tomatoman about irony.

The statement that I believe you are referencing is and was wrong. You repeating a lie doesn't make it true. It just makes you lying.

I am assuming one thing and one thing only about you in this context: That you cannot corroborate whatever you claim to have seen or experienced. Without corroborating evidence, there's absolutely no reason to believe you or think that you're even telling the truth.
My assumption might be wrong and, in fact, I would love dearly to be shown wrong.

Why don't you ask your good friend Cabal for "proof"? Maybe he has the scientific explanation of God that you are seeking since he claims to be a scientist, just as you are, and a theist.

You seem to be under the impression that someone is trying to convince you of "truth".

Try praying. And don't give up until you get an answer. That's how we do it.
