Occasional TTA returner then leaverer. |

That is the price I pay for being an atheist. Feel lucky that it is almost solely confined to this forum. No. I don't mind my beliefs being challenged... or made fun of. That doesn't bother me. In fact, making fun of me for believing those beliefs doesn't bother me... usually. It's only when it seems to be unrelenting and from multiple sources that I noticed it. ![]() |

I'm sure most people on here would begin to feel worn down if they faced ad hominems when defending their beliefs, hell, most would probably leave. Best and worst of Ferdinand ..... Best Ferdinand: We don't really say 'theist' in Alabama. Here, you're either a Christian, or you're from Afghanistan and we fucking hate you. Worst Ferdinand: Everyone from British is so, like, fucking retarded. |

RE: Am I being weak minded?
Personal attacks have no merit. Of course could it be that sometimes you feel the attacks are personal when they are not? Ergo, it IS difficult to separate a person from their beliefs, and the person in question may be unable to do so too.
I think being weak-minded is to allow others to formulate your ideas and opinions for you. In one sense, you are not weak-minded because you have "reasoned" and "rationed" through your beliefs through your own thinking. On the other hand it might be fair to say that any religious person is weak-minded because they are not following their own opinion on reality, they are following a religious one as generated by someone else. (Except for HoC) Being weak-minded does not mean you can't overcome it. I would assert that kids are all weak-minded and should be lest they want to die because of the lack of experience necessary to survive (strong willed people can still be weak minded, as can kids). Oh, and it isn't "all right" it is "alright" |

Dude, not whining. Just asking a question and looking for input. Don't know why it automatically qualifies as "whining" if I ask a question of this nature. ![]() |
