I would prefer the term Agnostic actually. People like him arent why I don't believe, but one of the reasons why I don't participate.

Dear Praxeas

Everyone has to choose how they react to attacks on their beliefs.

For 30 years I have been attacked (Sometimes quite bitterely and viciously)

By Atheisits, by Trinitarians, By Mormons, by Jehovah' witness,

by Apostolics (Yes my own brethren have attacked me), by Catholics, etc, etc.

Yet is is up to me how I respond to those attacks.

Will I allow those attacks to weaken my faith in Jesus Christ?
or will they only strenghten my faith in Jesus Christ?

The choice of what direction to take when being attacked is up to the individual.

I can not stand up in Judgment day and tell Jesus I stop believing in him, because those awful atheists said some horrrible things.
Or because some of my Apostolic brethren were mean to me.

[Praxeas]

I've had the same attacks against both what I believe and me personally. It never once caused me to question if God exists.

You have 0 understanding. Great job on trying to win me back to the faith by the way. Pretty epic fail there.

My faith in a deity was long gone already.

But my love for the people of God, at least, the ones who actually practice Christianity, is unwavering. You guys should ask them for lessons maybe?

Tell ya what Prax, your an admin right? just delete my account. I am gona go have a beer with some friends.

And put all of this behind me. Wish I would have done that when I was thirty instead of fifty and CHURCH hadn't stolen my life away.

Are you talking to me? I just asked because of what you said in a previous post to clarify. I don't see the problem with that.

I don't understand why you are reacting this way to my question. If you don't want to clarify you don't have to. But you indicated or suggested people like FlamingZword caused you to become agnostic and I'm asking if I understood you correctly?

[Praxeas]

Im being nice to you. I have not called you any names or anything. I just asked you to clarify what you said lead to your loss of faith. That it is people like FlamingZword?
