The reason the atheists were here was eliminated. They came to create a disturbance, and when Tom helped us get rid of their abusive behavior, all the fun went out of it and they left. Some were banned.

Not all of them were banned.

Tibby and ebia - way to be disrespectful and generalizing.  Thank you both for your rude comments.

And still he managed to insult the atheists/agnostics, who have no religion.

Heidi -

No person can give anyone else the unconditional love that we're all seeking. That can only com from God.

I entirely disagree (surprised?).  I know that my parents love me unconditionally...that is why I have had success in life thus far.  I may have fought with them bitterly through my mid-teenage years, but my mother and I are finally friends and I realized that if she still truly loved me after the monster I had been at times, then she would love me through anything.  That feeling gives me such comfort - to know that someone will love you regardless of what you do is an amazing comfort.

Also, you are forgetting animals...my horse, Sadie, loves me unconditionally as well.  I used to turn to her all the time, and when I thought no one else cared, she was always there...she gave me great comfort and support in trying times.  Because of this, we developed a deep bond and a strong love - we love each other unconditionally.

So I disagree...unconditional love (the real kind) is possible.

It should be, except if you look closely, you'll realize that this poll is...

AAA,  Ok.  I just want to set one thing straight...I am not a she.  I am a he.  I am her father.  Ok.  Now I feel better.

Oops!!  I apologize for the oversight.  I know I get annoyed when people refer to me as "he".  I think it's because your name looks like "Allison"...sorry.  By the way, it's AAAAmember, with 4 A's.

I just have one question...did your daughter really have a choice?  No.  Her only choice was to become Christian.  No five year old wants to dissapoint their parents.  She may understand your teachings, but she had no other choice.

I'm sorry you find it heartbreaking that I do not "understand".  I'm quite at peace with the fact that I do not understand more of the deeper things in life...I'm still learning and growing, and able to admit that I *don't* know everything (*ahem*).  

Now...which is more dangerous?  An 18 year old who admits that she has much to learn, or someone who claims to already know it all?

~AAAA

What a totally unbiased poll.

Is this supposed to be a joke or something?

~AAAA

I can tell you put some thought into that reply, Symph.

~AAAA

A new low for me?  Ha!

Did I say "Allinall's child is stupid for believing in Jesus?"  Did I say that?  NO.  I simply wondered if her daughter was old enough to understand her decision.  I certainly knew nothing about the world when I was 5...or 9...or 13...or 16...and even at the age of 18, I still know that I know very little about the world.  However, I made the "choice" to become agnostic over a long period of time...and that "choice" means more to me because it was not forced upon me by my parents or anyone else.  It was my choice, and my beliefs.  All that I believe is because *I* believe it, not because I was forced to or tricked into it.

Now I'm not saying Allinall forced her daughter into becoming Christian (if I did say that, I'd surely be attacked!!!).  I'm just asking her *why* she thinks her daughter has said these things.  Was it because she really and truly made the mature decision to become Christian, or was it because she knew her mom wanted her to be a Christian so badly?  No child deliberately wants to disappoint their parents.

Censor me if you wish, BEP.  I don't believe what I said was a low.  I just think it's hypocritical that when a five year old decides to become Christian, it's a wonderful thing (AND I'M NOT SAYING IT'S NOT), but if that same child were to make any other decision, it would be terrible and she would be "too young to make a decision like that".

Just some things to think about.

Respectfully,
~AAAA

PS - Allinall, this is not a personal attack on you or on your family in any way.  Thank you.

Is five years old an age where a child could accept Christianity as their own personal religion?  Or is it an age where the child simply wants to make their parents happy so they say "I'm saved" just to earn praise?

Not to criticize...I'm just making a point.  Wouldn't it be more rewarding if your daughter had come to her own decision to accept Christ?

I was referring to Brother Love's stupid comment, not to your post, Krazeekkc.

~AAAA

Krazeekc - your joke was horrible.

The rest were fairly cute.

~AAAA

Heidi - stop with the generalizations.  

Please read the above sentence 54 times.  Thank you.  Maybe then it will have been able to penetrate at least a LITTLE into your head.

Stop being so arrogant and condescending by assuming you know everything about the "poor, angry, uneducated atheists".  

~AAAA

"whinny trolls..."

Hahahahahaha.  That misspelling is actually cute because "whinny" is a sound a horse makes, while "whiney" is the word you were actually looking for.

Kinda takes the punch out of your post, huh?  Mmmm...too bad.
