The core.

[Lucid_boy]

Did you ever realize how few people are actually commited to this message board? I mean every month we get new people that hang around a month or two and then they leave but there is always a core group of individuals that toughs it out and hangs around. Do these people have no life? Do they thrive on this kind of debate? Are they insane? No reply required unless you feel you must, I just wanted to point that out as it made me laugh.

well although i dont post as much as i did on my toher account any more and just read them, for me it is because i'm really interested in religion and i love debating it.

My other account is a Porche I'm quickly losing interest in the R/S forum, and read it mostly for entertainment... Sometimes, you just can't resist to say something here and there, but for the most part, it turns out there really only are a few ways to skin a cat, and we've seen them repeated over and over... the cookbook changes, but the recipe is still the same. Most threads end up deviating on some barely-related tangent. For example: - WBC finally got nailed! - <3-4 posts that are actually relevant to thread topic and WBC> - "yeah, well fundamentalist muslims are worse" - <30-40 posts debating the meaning of "fundamentalist" in an effort to determine whether or not the previous comment was uncalled for> Same babble

an interest in religion and/or spirituality doesn't make someone insane or mean they "have no life". I like discussing it. I've learned from talking to others on here and hopefully I've been helpful too. I don't have a job and I haven't started school yet. though, when I'm not posting on here I'm reading.. what does it mean to "have a life", anyway?

I think I have prettty much covered the areas of religious debate I wanted to learn much more about. The major areas were how a god can be both omnipotent and totally good at the same time but allow suffering, the difference between an atheist and an agnostic, how much sense Christianity makes, and why God would not require a creator but the rest of existence would. I debated them into the ground with a lot of theists, and I got to the point of seeing where the conversations inevitably end up going. I fully understand the patterns now, at least as much as I am going to from this forum. I learned what I was trying to learn here. I will still have a few conversations in this forum, but my days of being an every day regular are over.

Looks like you're running out of days then, Lucid_Boy. In fact, i think you're overdue.
