@philokalia saidI explained what they were, to whom they were addressed, and why I deleted them.
You responded to me; deleted two posts; then responded to me again, all in a quick succession.

@philokalia saidYou'll bring up the two deleted posts on page 34?
I'll just bring it up every time that I feel you are dredging up the past too much.
@philokalia saidWhat does any of this Clans Forum type banter have to do with The Moral Argument for God's Existence and the discussion we were having?
And I will do that because I love you and I want you to learn through examples -- and one day, you will understand that when anyone dredges up largely irrelevant things in the past, and makes a mountain out of a mole hill, it is wrong.

@philokalia saidI haven't posted any "angry and hostile" messages and you can't come up with one. I have been sticking to the topic. And my posts have been clear and measured.
I think that's just a convenient excuse. I think you were mad. I think you are actually quite prickly about these things.
You made a mistake -- and you deleted your mistakes.
It's OK, though: no judgment. Nobody is perfect. Sometimes we all get angry and hostile.
@fmf saidDeflective, repetitious, minimalistic, and interrogative are better words to describe your posts than clear and measured.

This is objectively true.
If your posts were clear and measured, they'd be engaging and wouldn't focus on persistently questioning obviously established and ststed things.
Just like you were doing in the democrats and church thread earlier concerning the question of God ordaining rulers.

@philokalia saidWhere are these "angry and hostile" posts? You are just making this up. The conversation you appear to have completely bailed out of is still there if you should decide to return to it.
A perfect example of repetitious posting.
You've stated this two or three times already in equally minimal terms.
Not clear, or measured, but repetitious...
Tedious.
@philokalia saidI don't think you're right. Thanks for your advice anyway.

@philokalia saidYou are sounding like SecondSon here; firing off silly presumptions about a poster who has never been seen to have done either of the options in your false dichotomy. You appear desperate.
It seems you deleted two posts that were probably grappling with this very problem -- emotional outbursts or aborted rationalizations, who knows, but I would be curious to see.

@sonship saidWell I didn't know who to ask.
@wolfgang59Yeh ... I've been wondering about that too.
Then you could have asked him yourself.
Who is the resident expert on this forum?
btw:
Who would be your top 3 most influential Greek Orthodox
philosophers on the Moral Argument for God's Existence?
@wolfgang59 saidI'd go for Theodoros Zagorakis, Angelos Charisteas and Dimitris Papadopoulos who came in towards the end. Certainly, 2004 created a strong moral argument for the existence of Greek gods, at least.
