Well jeepers, kosta, this thread has been "about you" for the past several hundred posts, and that didn't happen by accident. You yourself have been instigating this. As xzins noted earlier, you seem to like the attention.
As to this — my earlier statement to you —
[kosta] needs "proof" of God, because that is what constitutes "certainty" for him. If he can't get "proof" of God, then he doesn't have to take Him seriously.That's not "mind-reading," kosta. It is simply a rational conclusion drawn from a mass of evidence. I'm not trying to "get in your head" in the above; I'm simply noticing what you're actually doing....
Would you like to read my mind, kosta??? Please do feel free to try.
I have answered your questions repeatedly. It's just you reject my premises and my evidence, and so disagree with me. [BTW, I haven't really seen your premises and evidence laid out as yet, kosta.] But don't say I have tried in any way to avoid your questions. That is simply not true.
Some pseudo-super-rationalists
do seem to enjoy the attention.
Others seem to primarily be interested in stabbing at God or trying to throw sand in God’s eyes [as well as those who dare to Love God outside of their pseudo-super-rationalist-reductionist script]. . .
for not running the multiverse according to their sensibilities and scripts.
There seems to be a fierce element of . . . retaliation or spite or vengeance or some such . . . can’t quite put my finger on it or articulate it precisely enough, to my satisfaction.
Have seen it with dozens of them, though.
Words like . . .
disdainful, haughty, prissy, affronted, snobbish, prickly, brittle, elitist, provoked, gritchy, . . . seem to be part of the general ball park of such folks.
Free Republic is pro-God.
This is the Religion Forum on Free Republic.
To the same extent a liberal would be a troll on the News/Activism Forum, an atheist would be a troll on the Religion Forum.
But we cut the atheists some slack on the RF because the debate seems to be interesting to other Freepers. Also, there are many "preachers" on the RF and the atheists give them someone to preach "to."
I have however banned some atheists who went from thread-to-thread trolling for a fight because this is a religion forum and that behavior is trouble-making.
That said, making the thread "about" an individual Freeper is indeed a form of "making it a personal."
However, your posts on this thread have made yourself a target just as much as a certain "prophet" has made himself a target by speaking for God in first person.
Just like a "caucus" cannot be used as "cover" to slam other Freepers' beliefs, the RF guideline to not make the thread "about" a particular Freeper cannot be used as "cover" to slam other Freepers' beliefs.
So I instructed the other poster that, to avoid the heat, he should post his prophecies under a "caucus" or "devotional" label. He declined preferring to be a target and have open discussion.
And I instruct you to do the same. Post your views under a "caucus" label to avoid the heat. Our first caucus, by the way, was an atheist caucus.
LOLOL.
