CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The Bible refers to it as the "kingdom of God."
Mark 1:15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.

That's religious shorthand for La La land is it? or does the Bible give you the meaningless words and you have to make up the meanings? did you never ask about it when you first heard it or were questions not allowed?

That's Bible terminology for the kingdom of God.
Matthew 19:24 And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.
The Bible points [to] the Way, as well as the Truth and the Life.The Stamp said:
John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Yes ... and I got shown the door.The Stamp said:
John 10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.

That was even before the flying rocket clams and teleporting koalas. Given that post was from 2008, imagine what they'd think now!

I would have smelt the biggest of rats then? them not wanting me to ask questions would have had me running for the door as fast as my legs would take me, we are quite obviously two completely different people.

It has nothing to do with his ego, unfortunately just by talking to a creationist here we are making them think they are putting forward a valid argument, therefore we either stay and have fun or we leave, we can't do both.

Wrong. Responding to his necro threads is exactly what he wants people, especially newbies that don't know any better, to do. You're feeding his ego by responding. To them. Trust me. I've been a member here for four times more years than you have weeks.

LOL ... you didn't get that, did you?
At first, I capitalized "door," then changed my mind to see if you would [catch it].

If talking in riddles makes you feel good then it's OK with me, I have no idea what makes you tick especially the magical bits that seem to give you so much pleasure.

Here, chief ... I'll reword my answer for clarity:
Yes ... and I was shown Jesus Christ, who is the Door.The Stamp said:

If you didn't question the things that went against everything you knew to be true then you must have been very young.
Let me ask you this, if you were told now what you were told then would you believe it?

I was 27 at the time.

Even as an agnostic, I didn't buy into the idea that we were Homo sapiens, and didn't fall victim to Paul's warning not to do so, or I could end up an atheist:
