Puppy would really be a great addition to this forum. We all love him on other forums.
He is a wonderful "Switzerland"!

Some are obviously just here to bait and taunt.
Just ignore them.

So I had my kitchen floor done this weekend by two guys that are friends of mine. One is an atheist/Democrat. One is a non-atheist/Republican.
An explosive mix, but the floor came out quite nice. Who could have forseen that?
Hahaha, yes! As someone else pointed out (sorry, I forget who now) in the real world, both groups would probably get along fine.
But since this is a discussion board, and a sorta religious discussion board......things are bound to get heated at times.
I'll state my intention again, since some here are still casting doubt on my motives, I wanted to find better ways for BOTH sides to handle the times when it gets heated, and hopefully to have BOTH sides take some responsibility. Change won't happen, if we refuse to own our part in things, will it?
I think we've done that, and some have chatted with me off the board, with a resolve to refuse to be manipulated and baited and to ignore the inevitable taunting.
In actuality, these ones resolved a good week or so before this thread and I saw how well it was working! I was hoping others would also take up the resolve. Obviously, some will not, but no matter, since the bait is not being taken!
Thank you, everyone who responded positively on the thread!
**high-fives everyone**

If there are only "a very few" of such ones, Char, I'm unclear as to why they are addressed at great length in every one of your posts......
Could you give it a rest now? At least in the interest of peace? And also because it is really starting to look like "baiting" on your part.
You've made your point many times over.

at the end of the day, if you throw an idea/concept out there, you have to be prepared for the critiques that will come.
disagreement and challenges are not equivalent to disrespect.
SOME atheists believe that religion/god/creator is toxic and bad for society.
SOME theists believe that atheism leads to bitterness and anger.
with that in mind, harsh critiques are inevitable, at least from time to time. and for legitimate concerns.
but the forum is a lot more interesting with a good fight thread :P
An excellent summation, RBIH

Calm down, Chariklo.
Maybe take a break, if you need to.
I can post the Panda picture again, if you need.
