So if we were one on one I may say something totally different.
So you don't think you are troublesome,engaging and interesting?
This is not an accurate way to describe you based on your posts?
Is it posssible to get to know you?(in the context of this thread?)
In this forum it isn't possible to know me. Only what I believe.

I post what I believe concerning the topic being debated.

I'll concede one thing. I have known trouble, but I don't think I'm so engaging or interesting.

I think you are more so than me.

Make the non-believer look as if their non-belief is the problem.
I reply with a bit of a yawn to be honest ... this is meaningless drivel. Which might be another good description for the bible actually - the books of meaningless drivel.
Then it appears you lost the debate.

It's interesting because it gets at the heart of the unbelievers problem.

Care to venture what that is?

I didn't realise there was a debate. All I saw was some uninteresting quote attributed to a historical figure, written many decades after his death.
Oh well, I guess I'll crawl back into my box and sob over my loss.

Doesn't the age old problem of women nicely sum it up - can't live with them, can't live without them.

Are you not related to what you believe? Is not everything connected. I believe it is.
Yeah I wear my heart on my sleeve, but I also know where to draw the line.
You don't think you're engaging or interesting? C'mon now.
That was a compliment . Accept it.
You're a gentle soul who plugs away at your own line of thought and reasoning. No need to be shy. It's just little pixleated pieces of info on your screen. No harm. Not from me anyway...🙂

It's a play on my last name, which is Blackwell.

What might you find in a black well?

Is this what it is all about? To win or lose a debate? You mean you have challenged us? And you define yourself as a winner? Oh, dude, you have much to learn...

This is an interesting statement from Jesus. How do you reply?
It's not BECAUSE of the truth or falsehood that we believe you not. It's that we don't think it's true because it is so implausible.
