    The answer to this question has been resolved according to Nova on PBS a few days ago. Try to find a rerun or copy. It was interesting.

    My fear is of closed minds.

    Vinny!

    LOL!

    You ask for respect and tolerance and then you say you "roughed up" some atheists and "it wasn't pretty".

    LMAO!

    Perhaps it would pay you to review this one, Vinny. I just reread it, and there isn't an iota of disrespect toward anyone for the first 23 posts, of a total of 28. This thread was an attempt at exactly what you are saying you want -- respectful discussion.

    BTW vinny you use text book ad nauseum attack system which is not very effective. I suggest you try a different tactic do to the fact you looked rather thick in those threads. My opinion of course.

    NVR says:..."Vinny ! LOL! You ask for respect and tolerance and then you say you "roughed up" some atheists and "it wasn't pretty". LMAO!

    **** Poor NVR, he has little interest in READING so it seems.

    From page one, just for NVR:

    NVRENDJRNY SAYS:.."My philosophy is to live and let live. If you believe in Jehovah, Jesus, Allah, Krishna, or whomever, that's fine. Good for you. I won't criticize anyone for it as long as they respect me and everyone else who doesn't share their beliefs.


    **** Vinny replied: "Now why can't many of the atheists here adopt this piint of view? THAT is very reasonable IMO. And that is what others many are suggesting."


    Nvrendjrny said:.."But if you try to push your beliefs on me, I'm not going to take great pains to frame my response in a way that won't be offensive to you.


    **** Vinny replied again: "Agreed again. Which is exactly why I have spent months (literally) debating with atheists in numerous threads. Atheists were very disrespectful and then paid for it. But life is more than debating with anybody; JW's, Atheists, Political debates or anything else. "


    This is why there is a bit of a call going out, by many, to show a little more respect for divergent viewpoints.


    And this is a reasonable request since the JWD is not about ANY ONE PARTICULAR FAITH OR POINT OF VIEW.


    Respect and tolerance is a good thing.

    ***** Remember better NVR?

    When atheists are disrespectful and belligerent (as is the case often enough... and as was the case on those threads) then they will get what they deserve.

    And yes, that would include many spankings, as you well know.

    You see, NVR is doing all kinds of three step shuffles here to avoid the real issue. That issue is about being tolerant of others beliefs.

    Thread after thread and post after post by atheists is anything BUT respectful or tolerant of different viewpoints. Not all, but MANY.

    And that is the heart of the matter here!

    Dave, I was not talking about disrespect on that thread of yours. I was answering 5go's claim that atheists have never been debunked.

    Sure, I can be a little rough on the atheists (what 5go calls thick... I guess). But read the entire threads and take a little look at what Vinny was called.

    EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK.

    I never used foul language. Though I admit I was hard on the atheists at times.

    But those were atheists filled threads and they were mowed down one after another. Just read it for yourself when you have a week.

    But look how rarely I come on here doing the atheist debate thing.

    I'd prefer to keep it that way. You know, work some, go for a swim, work some more, come to the JWD and talk about music or funerals or other things less time consuming.

    Some atheists here do nothing BUT make issues of belief in God.

    And THAT is the problem!

    You're a master of inane condescension, Vinny.

    I look forward to some beers with you while taking in a Hawaiian sunset, product of your God/my Universe.

    It's all good, my brother.

    Peace to you and yours,

    Nate
