Thank you Tourist, that is very kind of you to say, and you are likewise seen to be a very caring person, spending much time welcoming new members to this site, and offering words of encouragement to people in distress over their life circumstances.
Mr. Chicken Killer, just five days ago we had a non believer here promoting his views and asking questions, but when we asked him questions in return, he said, and this is a direct quote: I don't know why I feel I need to answer this, but it does irritate me to no end when people inquire about my beliefs. Especially when they're only concerned about proselytizing their own. I had simply asked him Where is your hope? In what or whom is it placed? Because he had specifically said he only had hope to sell. Here is my response to him.
Let me get this straight in my mind 
You come here to question us about our beliefs, but are irritated to no end when we likewise enquire after yours to get a better understanding of where you are coming from, so we can address what you actually think instead of making assumptions. Hmmm. There is something off in your approach and attitude, then. You may want to work on that
I have repeatedly asked about your beliefs, mindset, feelings, and inclinations (as have others), so to turn around and erroneously accuse all of us of desiring only to promote/proselytize our own is blatantly false.
However, your objections will not change my mind or my reasons for believing, which you seem to have constantly overlooked.
Your contradictions notwithstanding, since you come here to challenge what we believe, you really ought not be irritated to no end that we present our beliefs to you when questioned, and steadfastly stand by them with the passion we feel for them and He Who has engendered them. Please tell me that you really did not think that your presentation of the lack of experience with and understanding of God that you possess, should be enough for us to throw over our wealth of experience and understanding of God.
If you would like to work out the meaning and purpose of life without
starting a holy war, you may wish to examine your methods
I think that this forum has had some times where atheiest come on here and want to argue with people. Instead of giving me a chance you have chosen to group me in with the atheist community. The first post confirms this.
Also I want to point out I have answered every question you have asked me.
Also I have not tried to convert anyone to my beliefs.
I am also not challenging anyone. I have simply asked questions.
I actually find this last post insulting and overly aggressive. I will have to ask that you and Max stop posting please. You are not interested in having a nice chat.
Thanks for the polite private PMs from the other people on here. I really appreciate the nice comments.
