I'm so glad you're taking my response in such a mature and refined manner.

Thanks for confirming that I was right.

Remember you're a music teacher, not a psychiatrist. Glad you want to change your profession. You can check yourself into you're own rubber room when you start telling your fellow head doctors that God talks to you.

Watch Forrest Gump again sometime. Especially the scene where Lt. Dan is on Forrest's shrimp boat during the hurricane. Maybe YOU'LL learn something.

It doesn't take a degree in psychology to see what is in plain view. If I was trying to psycho-analyze you, I'd probably have a lot more to say... as would anyone who is psycho-analyzed.
It's so funny that you keep referencing the rubber room. If we were to use your logic, 85% of the world's population belongs in a rubber room.
But I guess that's what you get when you talk to someone who thinks everyone else is wrong except for themself.

I guess what bothers me the most is that you always take the conversation personal, and I get dragged into it with you. You're more interested in ruffling feathers than anything else. That's your primary objective here... why?

If you keep your answers 2 sentences or less, your point will be much clearer: It is called faith, because we have to believe what is not readily apparent. No one can be bullied to believe.

You think I'm bullying him? I'm on the defensive here... I'm the one on trial, being told to prove my faith by procuring Noah's ark and getting told that I (along with 85% of the world) belongs in a rubber room.
Again, I will ask, you think I'm bullying him?

Dude, you're the one who needs psycho analysis. I'm taking absolutely nothing personal about anything you've said regarding this topic. All I've done is voice my opinion and perspective of how I see religious people. You've seem to have taken it as a personal attack. Sure, I make crass remarks about the issues, but that's my nature. When someone like you gets all riled up about it, I find it amusing to keep 'tweaking' the coversation just to see what kind of reaction I can get. Call it a sick sense of humor if you want. But believe me, I'm not the only one who pokes fun and makes insults on this forum (insert Darth's name where appropriate). You may get a few barbs in now and then, but I can dish it out just as well. Don't like it? It's called 'ignore post', or 'don't read post'. Trust me, I do that all the time.
As far as the rubber room comment, I tend to rely on movie trivia to make my point. Any of the movies where someone was supposedly talking directly to God, the people around them would say the guy or girl was crazy, ergo crazy people were put in straight jackets and left in padded rooms.
When you went on the personal attack by claiming you're some mental health expert and know what my 'issues' are, I referenced Lt. Dan in Forrest Gump. Seriously, watch the movie and see what happens when he's on the boat during the hurricane. It all ties in. But believe me, I can do some analysis on you as well. Sorry to say, you wouldn't fare much better than me. Having faith and religion doesn't make you the perfect person, or better than me.
Matthew 7:1 Judge not, lest ye be judged.
John 8:7 So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her

Once again bionic you have to resort to belittling others and stirring controversy, as though that somehow makes your points valid. It is clear to me, and most people on here, that you are only here to argue. There are plenty of other forums designated for that type of behavior. Feel free to seek them out.

No, many non-believers truly believe that believers want to force others to believe. Throwing scripture and doctrine at them reinforces this belief. (ok so I used 3) That is why I completely respect their skepticism(?), people can only believe by faith not arguments.

Seriously, using me as your defense isn't the wisest. May as well commit murder and use OJ as your defense. Besides, I actually contribute in other discussions here. In political threads I try not to reduce myself to insulting the other person on a regular basis. I do that in other "lighter" threads. It is called tact.
also, that phrase means don't judge others unless you are prepared to be judged as well.

If you read all of Matthew 7, it less about "not judging others" than it is an exhortation to judge ourselves to see if we measure up. No where in the scripture does it say, "Don't call sin, sin"-sin is quite defineable and judgeable; peoples hearts aren't.

Come on Darth. Go back and look at some of your posts. Yes, you do contribute to a majority of the posts in this Aquarium forum. And at the end of every one, you add little jab comments in parenthesis to your name to make your point. Was that not you who even made some quip to the woman who was attacked by a baseball bat as she was leaving her apartment? Is that your definition of a "lighter" thread?
I've asked what I feel are viable questions regarding what drives a person to be so faithful towards what I deem is a ficticious being. Individuals like YearOfTheNick are taking the questions personally. He even explained one of the reasons why he 'saw the light' was his life changing experience with his job. I simply gave him a rebuttal that I had a very similar experience, yet I didn't attribute any of it to God. He turned it around and starts accusing me of being this enraged maniac that's in need of psychiatric treatment for anger management because heaven forbid I don't agree with his religious philosophies. What's hilarious is, if he'd watch the scene of Forrest Gump where Lt. Dan was in the boat, he'd see that I agree with him to a point. Let me just spell it out for you:
Lt. Dan held in pent up anger for not being able to fulfill his destiny by dying in the Vietnam War. Instead, Forrest saved him from death, and he lost both his legs. For the remainder of the movie, you see his character display moments of anger, and direct sarcasm to anyone that talks to him. One quote from movie - "That's what all these cripples down at the VA talk about: Jesus this and Jesus that. They even had a priest come and talk to me. He said God is listening and if I found Jesus, I'd get to walk beside him in the kingdom of Heaven. Did you hear what I said? WALK beside him in the kingdom of Heaven! Well kiss my crippled. God is listening? What a crock." Due to Forrest's mental capacities, he was oblivious to the attacks, and still respected Lt. Dan for the man he was. He even told Lt. Dan that if he ever became a shrimp boat captain, he wanted him to come be his first mate. So when Forrest fulfilled his and Bubba's dream of buying a shrimp boat, he mailed Lt. Dan to let him know. Sure enough Lt. Dan did show up and become his first mate. As Forrest and Lt. Dan struggled to make it in the shrimping business, they ended getting caught out during Hurricane Carmen. You see the boat being tossed violently around, and Forrest makes a comment that he feared for his life. But then you hear him say, "But not Lt. Dan, he was facing the wrath of God head on". The movie then shows Lt. Dan in the crows nest, yelling at the top of his lungs, "You want a piece of me! COME ON!! Is that all you got!! This is the day we meet! Today, it's just you and me! If you want me, COME AND GET ME!!!" The next thing you see in the movie is Forrest's boat being the only one that survived the hurricane. You then see him and Lt. Dan raking in the shrimp. Then the scene comes where they are sitting in the calm waters, and Lt. Dan says "Forrest, I never thanked you for saving my life." Lt. Dan then jumps into the water and calmly starts swimming on his back towards a cloudy sky with the sun coming through. You then hear Forrest's voice in the background:
He never actually said so, but I think he made his peace with God.
Hmmm, I wonder if that's the point Nick was trying to make.
And yes, I know what the phrase means.

I just had a mental picture of you sitting on the couch with a remote control in one hand a a box of chocolate in the other wearing a cheap suit,a propeller beanie and tennis shoes.

I think you might just be watching a bit to much TV.
BTW Forrest Gump....X-Files......and Jerico all all fiction based movies.

If I did that, then I'd be ignorant. I don't want to be ignorant to anything if I can help it. Good to see though that you don't mind being ignorant when it's convenient for you (see quote above). Man, if only I had seen it earlier... you think I would have figured it out just by reading this thread.

You don't care about anything except that which furthers you and your argument. You say the bible is meaningless in one post and then use it to help your opinion in another. You say I'm the hypocrite (and I agree) and yet you prove my point right here by being yourself a hypocrite. The difference between you and I is that I try not to be... but for you, all bets are off - and as a standard. Why?

When did I say enraged maniac? When did I say you needed psychiatric treatment for anything? Having said that, who looks like the one taking things personally? Yes, I'm on the defensive because you're putting my faith on the chopping block. Sorry, but I can't help but defend my faith. You're defending the lack of yours... same difference. The problem is that we're not learning anything from each other, which is what this entire forum is for - knowledge. Ultimately, every exchange we have is futile.
I could care less about whether you agree or not with my religious philosophies. What I struggle with is that you pick fights, and I get reeled into them. When it comes to historical proof, you have expectations and want standards that don't exist.
In my mind, it's over. I am not going to continue being a puppet for your enjoyment. That is, after all, what you've essentially said I am anyway.

Sticking with the O.J. defense I see.
