"Just don't open the thread if you're one of those that might get insulted. Simple as that, Vinny."
*** I have been doing just that btw. But like most here, I had no idea what CYA meant. So I opened it up. And believe the title is an insulting theme to those that o believe. Sure, I believe just to save my a$$...
C-mon, give me a break.
"Sometimes being insulted is a good thing Vinny! Kinda gets your blood flowing, makes you think and gets you to defend your beliefs!"
***** Heh... I don't think you know my history to well. I have no problem mixing it up. The last thread I was involved with it was me against close to 50 atheists... for weeks. Same with the one before that... and another.
But Nvr has been doing this non-stop in my opinion. As have others. Is he really looking for answers? Or trying to continue his jabs at believers?
I have my opinion. Though I could be wrong. In the end, my oriniginal comment on this thread is the one that I stand by. Just in a nicer tone...
: )
Sure, I believe just to save my a$$...
If you didn't get a reward, would you still believe? And what would be the benenfit of believing?
You are constantly making comments that knock believers on the JWD. Want me to post them?
That's ok.
I think my tone is much softer than that of some other atheists here.
If you like, I'll just leave.

*** I have been PUNISHED, and yet still believe. As you know, nobody leaves the JW's without significant repercussions.
There ARE benefits for believing. But they have nothing to do with WHY I believe. Thanks for asking,

*** Very true.
"If you like, I'll just leave."
**** If you left the JWD because of my post, I'd have to leave with you. Cause if I stayed, Id be run out of town...

Vinny, please don't misunderstand the phrase CYA.
It's used by professionals in many fields to refer to measures taken for self-preservation/protection.
There is nothing derogatory in it.
Please accept my apologies for offending you.
I'm not sure how applying such a phrase to one's entire belief system would not at least raise an eyebrow.
But, I appreciate your taking the time to share your reasons.
A cold beer would be the next move.... on me.

I would graciously accept and reciprocate.
"I would graciously accept and reciprocate."
*** Then I would have to reciprocate back. That's three quick cold ones....
