I know that doesn't excuse some of the things I said in this thread, but I probably would have been more mindful of my posts if I was aware of it. (In any event, what I said about Muhammad IS historical fact. However, I would have worded it differently.) [/quote] I heart u btw.

If you see some hateful nonsense that has nothing to do with constructive debate feel free to report it. [/quote] that's not what I'm talking about...what i mean, is why does everyone jump all over the Christians, complaining about their posts, but no one ever mentions the blasphemy that the non-believers love to throw around... for example: "your religion is a joke." ignored "mohammad the pedophile." HOW DARE YOU! -1....and then the following conversation ensues about how uncharitable we all are...

[/quote] Yeah this is true too.
Apotheoun Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) I have to be faithful to Christ, and if that means that I get suspended or banned, so be it. I cannot compromise my faith just in order to post at an internet forum, even though I like Phatmass a lot (I wouldn't have over 17,000 posts otherwise), but I love Christ a lot more. It is by the grace of Christ alone that I am alive, and my life is His. Edited December 10, 2009 by Apotheoun
Laudate_Dominum Posted December 10, 2009 Posted December 10, 2009 What is considered inappropriate is not representing the truth, but actually misrepresenting the truth, which is what often happens when otherwise meaningful debates degenerate into contests of insulting rhetoric.

[/quote] @@ LOL, just kidding. Yeah, I don't retract my statements but I will admit that they should have been worded differently, and shouldn't have been randomly thrown around. You know I have a short fuse, and when that guy started attacking my physical appearance and my sex - not explicitly in regards to sex but his behavior implied it - well you get the idea.
