My smart witty reply would be deleted, so I will not type it! (get back to your dream thread!!)

OK, I know....off topic!

Ok, I agree, he is passionate, but also comes over as a tad aggressive to me, and I am a Christian, who has learned to turn the other cheek, and not take offence at all remarks made to me when I go out on the preaching work, which by the way is written down in the Bible that all believers should do, spread the good news and all that.

I just hope all this thread has not scared some off, who were questioning themselves about a belief in God.

If anyone was scared off by this thread then I wonder what strength of character they have and hopefully sooner or later their true self will emerge and can then decide for themselves which way to turn and not need to read what other people think their thoughts should be.

I on the other hand have said the things I've said here to people directly, on forums, over the phone, on the radio many many times and will continue to do so.

In all my time on here, in all the religion-based threads we've had I have never encountered anyone as insulting, patronising, cynical and rude towards people's beliefs as you. You've clearly got some deep-rooted issue regarding religion but whatever it is I suggest you take it up with the person or people that caused it, as I assure you they do not frequent Cable Forum. You have persistantly tried to tell me and others that my beliefs are wrong, sometimes using underhand tactics such as misquoting me, twisting things I've said and putting words in my mouth. I have done nothing but answer your questions and point out the flaws in your arguments, not in your beliefs.

It would seem you enjoy arguing, insulting people, and getting very animated about religion. You haven't won, only made yourself look very silly indeed and you're continuing to do so.

Your hatred is on par with the ranting and raving Jihadist lot you see on telly. Drop us a PM when you're on the radio next. :)

Thanks.

You hold out an olive branch and he takes it as a sign of weakness and launches a full on personal attack. :(

If you've experienced what he has done then there must be something that we can investigate and WE, the members of the CableForum will prove all those doubters wrong!

We're going to be famous folks!! :angel:

That's what happened with me (except mine were Anglicans). By the time I was 14 I felt I was old enough to refuse to get out of bed on a Sunday morning. :D

No, no... I'm still here, reading quietly. I'm fond of this thread and believe, as with any thread, that when people are bored of it, it will fade away. I'm not going to ask for it to be locked.

No one is breaking T&Cs and the thread topic itself certainly isn't, so where is the need to close it? (and if anyone here now tries to get it closed by violating those T&Cs, then it will not close the thread, merely get you suspended for a while, so don't bother).

I personally think this has been a very interesting thread, and continues to be so. It's a very interesting insight into the personalities and mindsets of those involved. it's almost turning into a social psychological experiment!

anyway, no, I for one do not wish to have the thread closed and would rather see it die out of it's own accord. I'm reading this everyday to watch it's progression and it continous to pull in a large number of posts but always gets back on topic when it drifts for one or two posts.

it's something that is obviously close to peoples' hearts, be them believers or non-believers and is giving people the opportunity say freely state those beliefs. If people don't like the thread, or what is being said or ideas that have been raised, well no one is making them come here and post...

and as said, roll on 2000!!!!!!

no, it certainly was not designed as such. and as I say, it's almost a social psychological experiment. without a hypothesis in place, no conclusion can really be drawn, so perhaps I should have said it simply gives us an interesting insight into peoples' psyche and ego-related stances.

religion has been seen by some psychologists as a hinderance to the developement of a man (or woman), alienating them from themselves in a dysfunctional and neurotic institutional 'illusion'.

others have said that religion is an unconscious form of art, whereby empirical memories manifest themselves into the conscious mind and 'labelled' as religious experiences (for example, when Russ B told of how he felt God had shown him the name for his daughter).

religion has been the debate of people and psychologists for many many years and will continue to be so. it will never tire to fascinate and draw in views and concepts from all angles. in this thread alone, we have seen examples whereby people postulate God, Gods, no God, aliens, prisoners abandoned on a planet... it's great to see so many people so emotive about a subject that they really can lose themselves in conversation.

I love this thread! It truly is what forums are for (imo)!!
