I used big words and was challenging and honest, I guess I came across as agressive or mean.
I'm sorry. I wasnt meaning to sound angry. All I said was that until someone can give me a claim that isnt full of holes, I see no reason why I shouldnt point out those holes. -
bob: It's okay. I'm used to it.
There was this one really mean girl that no one wanted to be around. But I was nice to her. Turns out she hated me for 3 reasons:
1. My race (she's asain and i'm white)
2. The way I was raised (apparently it's abad thing that I'm not abused)
3. My religion. She called me stupid for it. And then apparently I'm blunt because I'm christian. I have no talent because i'm Christian.
I don't listen to her anymore because of all the support of my friends and nicer people and just because I don't wanna be around that. -_- -
I have no issua with any race.
I was never abused as a child.
Talent and bluntness have nothing to do with religion. And as for stupid, I believe that it's what you were brought up on, and while I may think religion in general is stupid, the followers simply dont know any other way. -
I know I wasn't talking about you. I just meant I'm used to being judged. :)

Hey, that's what I did! But I put it in my own words.
-
I just like typing dictionary entries. ^^

So you're not even going to put up your own arguement? you're going to copy what someone said out of context from the conversation we're having, and expect that to hold any ground? There are so many things in that to make it unvalid it's not even worth posting.

Also, you didnt type the complete definition.
Your app, gives you a sumarized version.

You asked what a god was. Not what I thought a god was.
-
so you used only one incomplete source, written by falible men, that explains only one god.
You're "definition" is an opinion. Just not your own. -
Yeah, but you didn't say it had to mine, or whose it had to be at all.
-
That still leaves you with an incomplete source, written by falible men, that explains only one god and isnt in context with this conversation.
-
Y'know who you remind me of, Bob?
-
this'll be interesting.
Who?
