Moderating
Take a break from this thread, you two. Enough of the multiple posts, SD and Hardcore Newbie, and easy on the F word there, Hardcore. We are particularly serious about respect in this forum area, and the F word doesn't qualify as respectful, even if you're using it exclamatorily.
I mean it. Go to opposite corners or I will shut this thread down. SD, I will not delete any of the posts above. You were not personally insulted, and this is indeed a heated discussion. You're helping engender that heat, too, and you're free to leave for safer ground if the temp has gotten too hot.

Did you really not catch that? They weren't meant to be quality links... Let me spell it out for you, I was mocking ya.Quote:
Here you go, see how simple it is to find unreliable sources.
Also, for future reference, when engaging in a debate, people will take you more seriously if you write coherently.
please refrain from using profanity and when you feel it is needed at least ** it out this is not appropriate nor belong on the post we have all respected this and would apprceciate the same cunnuck
I don't subscribe to atheism. I believe that it's possible that the universe was created. That's not an atheist. I will debate the plausibility of the Bible, if you can accept that.Quote:

so there is no common ground not even on agnostics jagged? and to quote, when making a joke use a smiley, or at least a lol
There is common ground in that I feel history is correct in that a man named Jesus once existed.
Sorry BG, I saw your moderation comment, but got booted from the server due to it being busy.
What common ground among agnostics? What is that in reference to?
I'm taking a break as per BirdGirl's request.
You seem like you're fine to continue, Hardcore, if you feel you can do so respectfully and want to. I just wanted everyone to take a few deep breaths.
I really need to sign off here in a moment and don't want to feel like I'm leaving a thread vulnerable to a violent escalation. Can y'all avoid escalation if I sign off and go to bed? Trust me, you don't want me to have to come back in here if you wake me out of a deep sleep cursing at each other! :)
sd... i really must say, all your arguments are completely ridiculous... and in actuallity... i respect HN even more then i repsect my own brood, which is atheist... i DON'T believe in a higher being, but he's open to the idea that something more may be there.... as he's said so many times, there aren't two sides to it..... and the fact he can both argue higher being and debate against it deserves alot more respect then those of us who pretend to know (although i freely admit i may be wrong, i still lean towards nothing rather then, there could be something)
really tho, you should step back and look at everything you posted.... it seems to be more about 'showing how he's an idiot' rather then the debate at hand....
to jagged and fallen I appologize for my heated responses I respect your opions without agree to them and again appologize for what I have said and do appreciate the questions you have raise in my own faith, i also appreciate the great passion you show on your side of the debate and hope to have further discussions in the future you are truly worthy opponents I also at this tim would like to retract all comments of ignorance as I have realized it is never ignorance to believe strongly in your beliefs I respect them and appologize for all comments contrary to this. I know I get very heated in defense of my beliefs which is not nescary and hope we can all become freinds now or at some point in this great forum cannabis.com not this one in particular as i see we could never come to come ground you two were truly great adversaries in this heated debated and appreciate all the concepts and thoughts you have brought to my attention, thank you. I can at least know, i hope, we share the same love for cannabis, i hope at this website, and we can have better conversation in the future as i do and have respected your intelligence and again appologize for the ignorance comments after doing research of my own. not admiting weakness in my beliefs but i can understand yoursafter all research i have conducted.
thnx slip but your input is not needed
as mentioned by others and me before if you did read all post i accept my short comings because of my faith i do resort to confroting the source rather then the topic you will see this was not need especcially at this point
well too bad :p this is my home, and while i tend to stick to the sidelines in religious debates because they so frequently get out of hand.... i still chime in now and then...Quote:

SD, you're about a hair's width from getting a short-term ban just so you'll stop your condescension. Slip's input is as welcome as yours. This is a free forum.
Hardcore Newb, check your User CP.
refer to the above....Quote:

besides it's not like i'm coming off calling you an insane idiot or something.... i'd say i'm commenting with a fairly respectful, easy going tone....
btw, i always read here, so i've pretty much read everything... just so you know.
and im just saying at this pint it is really not needed especially as a first post in the forum and even more to the point with really joining the discussion just commenting on previous points isnt need at this point, pg6, as you can tell I have stayed in the kitchen regardless of the points or one sidedness
still holds no bearing, as i said, i'm always reading up here, i just don't post much.... so i pretty much know everything that's said in this entire forum (not thread) so my input on any thread as just as valuable as the next... it's not like i'm just chiming in after reading three posts...Quote:

*dead end thread*
especially when i leave seeing im the only one to represent the other side here i still do not appreciate the blatant use of profanity and did not appologize bc of it
i expected as much... sorry if you can't handle a little criticism...
Well if you'd like to continue, the last post I made before we got off topic was this one
http://boards.cannabis.com/spiritual...ml#post1643442
Basically, my post was saying that your links in fact didn't source their information, except from other places with the same type of mission statements. Also, on one of the pages you posted, a direct quote.
It should be noted that Christianity is a religion based upon relationship, not knowledge. It is a religion of faith not logic. The information provided is to help answer questions, but ultimately you must believe in the Bible by faith. Because of who God is, we will always have questions. In order to have eternal life, we need to believe the words of Jesus that we are sinners and are in need of a Lord and Savior.
So while I claim ignorance, so does the page you linked to. Looks like our beliefs (or lack thereof) are on more even ground than you'd like to admit.
i do not know what you are responding as nothing else has been address to you but i do feel the need to find it a little odd to say you do not post much when you have over 15.000 posts and to the fact of reading the posts it is no different and your point is less valid when you have not been a particpant of the discusion it is still a mute point regardless of how up to date you are because you were not part of the discusion in the first place so therefore your input is not needed
This one is closed for business now. We cam reopen it tomorrow. SD, you should have taken my advice to cease your arguing. You'll be getting a message from me through your User CP momentarily.
and here we go 1 and 2 and 3 GO........................lol
I'm done here but thanks for the heated discussion all and sorry it went so far. Good bye for this thread hope to meet you all again in other threads and on the same side.
