  I hope the person I stole this quote from doesn't mind.....it just seems so applicable here and now:

  Kill your ego? What a horrific suggestion! Oh no... an invitation to share a beer and a laugh seems much more civilized, no? Relax and hush, Ego... you know I love you.

  (Shaking head) Oy, vey! ENOUGH, already! PLEASE.

  Why has this thread turned into yet another "AGuest-a-Fest"? Because I commented? Seriously??? Many others commented, as well... yet, the thread hasn't become about them. Can we get back to discussing the question at hand: "A truce between Atheists and Non-Atheists"... whether such is feasible or not... if not, why not, and if so, how to come to it?... and take any other issues we might have, including those about "AGuest", what "AGuest" thinks, feels, says, believes, meant, intended, or did... to another thread? I've started one and I truly don't mind if folks wanna post their... mmmm... "stuff" there (although I can't answer for others, like Simon and Co., who MIGHT mind, depending on the content/tone)... but, please, can we TRY to give this thread (and dear Palm - peace to you!), the consideration both deserve?

  Or maybe just move on past "AGuest" altogether... once and for all?

  If you have an issue with "AGuest"... THIS is not the thread to discuss that. Actually, if you have an issue with "AGuest"... so what? No one CARES any more. Well, except the usual suspects. But no one SHOULD care. Really, GET OVER IT!. Please. For your OWN sake, if not that of the thread, the board, others... your children, spouses, loved ones, neighbors, co-workers, strangers, enemies... the board and other posters' sake! I mean... c'MON, already!

  NO ONE CARES what you a few of you "think" about "AGuest", TRULY. Especially AGuest. No one SHOULD. Including YOU. If they/you do... what does that say about YOU/them?

  Good GOLLY. I mean... seriously... ENOUGH, already. Discuss the TOPIC.

  Peace... 'cause Lord knows so many need it!

  A slave of Christ,

  SA, who thinks... nahh, nevermind. Doesn't MATTER.

  I've never seen anyone mention their own name nine times in a post before!

  I was hoping to keep this duscussion away from individual posters and more about the general "feel" of the board and how we can make it more comfortable for all.

  When a JW with doubts starts googling, this site is one of the first that pop up.

  I don't think we are really "newbie friendly" these days.

  True, others may not agree... and it may not be THEIR truth, but they cannot say it is not MY truth.

  I think this is where a common misunderstanding is happening between the 2 POV's:

  No one is saying you can't have your own personal TRUTH.

  The problem is when your TRUTH, which you have to admit cannot be proven by outside sources, is pushed forward as FACT.

  Obviously it's frustrating to not have "proof", but can you see where it's frustrating to others who need more proof than you have to offer?

  I would like to ask one thing: for EVERYONE to leave this thread for a few days... and then go back and re-read it from the start.

  Well it is still my thread

  And I'm trying to keep an eye on my thread, so I don't mind if people still want to post thoughts on it.
