2. It's a pretty welcome place so far...
I don't think the Christianity-bashers want to show up on a forum where they think they might be in the minority.

9. I'm good.
I'm busy having my intelligence insulted on a debate board on another forum, but you know, that's par for the course when the insulter doesn't have a leg to stand on. ;)

You?

10. I am doing better
Had a tough morning, the folks were arguing but the day got better because I had a nice discussion with my friends in chemistry class. Plus I had a religious realization on the way home too, read my post that has no responses yet about it, it was so nice. Plus I had a beautiful dream last night too though I had a scary one too.

Sit down, have a beer, and talk to us about Jesus! :toast:

Those bashers caught me on a good day. There's still a lot of fight left in me, and I'm NOT SHUTTING UP!!!

8. Hey
Thanks, always in the mood for booze. God I just really got upset last night, I hate being insulted because of my religious beliefs, thats part of the reason why my dad's mom's family left Ireland.

13. Ironically, I started the thread because it was Easter weekend.
I just wanted to explain why it bothers many of us when people bash our faith. I didn't expect the craziness that ensued. :shrug:

15. You realize that it's become a monkey-pile, right?
Eeeek! Eeeeek! A fight! A fight! Take sides, jump in - you don't have to make sense - just show up and pile on!!!

Geez, sometimes we really are just like Republicans. :eyes:
