    I would certainly prefer her to defend her position and rebut appropriately. I've wished that on a number of occasions. But her assertions are her own, and it is her choice whether or not to defend them. It's frustrating for me, too, but I'm not prepared to lay down a law that says you must be willing to go the full 15 rounds if you want to post something.

    Don't you think if someone sincerely wanted to learn about other points of view they would stick around to participate in the discussion?

    People like tery who have personally ruled out the existence of the supernatural have only left themselves the option of thinking in physical terms. It creates logistical problems when you try to confine God to the physical realm. It can make things seem a little nonsensical to someone who hasn't thought in those terms before.

    As far as the motivation behind her question goes, I made a mistake with Sly's "Do atheists have souls" thread. I assumed he was being snide and threatened to delete his thread, but his question was legitimate and he didn't intend it in the way I assumed. From that I learned that what I assume the motivations to be aren't necessarily correct. So it's better if I give people the benefit of the doubt.

    Probably. But sometimes I think it's possible to post something just to see what others think, not necessarily to win them over. I've also learned that the value of posts isn't exclusive to the poster. Even if a question means little to the one posting it, lurkers may appreciate it, and appreciate the responses even more without saying so.

    I don't think that anyone would have it otherwise, but if you expect to be taken seriously, then I would expect that you answer when people question your beliefs. In general, all I have ever gotten when questioning you is a correction on my spelling or have you tell me to do my own research.

    Pick one, you can't have it both ways.

    i'm guessing she'll pick the spelling errors over the research.


    there's a place for miss_tery's posts and i don't think this is it. given the tenor of her posts, i find it ironic that she complains about hypocritical christians wearing the religion on their sleeves...
