Introduction Sotomone

Post #1

Post by Sotomone »

Well I know no where else to put this. So if it belongs some where else feel free to move it.

Now to start off my name is Chris. But feel free to call me by my user name. I have joined here to debate on such subjects as religion and to be able to become a better debater. You can either call me by Sotomone or Soto, either one I respond too. I have been place to place and been in a few debates on chat sites of religion and got nothing but hate in return.

I strive to learn so when I make a mistake I want to be corrected, I will try my best to produce evidence when I state some thing, and if my sources are wrong feel free to correct them. You get no wisdom unless your willing to listen and learn from others.

Well a little about how I started off. I am a former christian and also a former Pagan which I hope to create a group for once I get enough tokens for it. I've turned to Atheism because of a friend that goes off the handle of Kdenight which he can't be found on these forums. But some day he might be willing to come around and join us. ^^ Well let's see what else. What really can't think of anything. If you want to know anything feel free to either reply or PM me. I made this subject to introduce my self more fully instead of on other parts of the forums. Well happy to now be part of this great community and look forward to many lessons.

Welcome to the forum Sotomone. I don't debate on any other forums but have heard enough to know I have no desire to. The overriding principle here is showing respect and supporting assertions. If you stick to debating the topic and not the person, you should be able to avoid a lot of problems. I would also suggest you keep logical fallacies in mind because there are a few here who will call you out very fast if you use them. And our own grammar and spelling cop will introduce himself, regardless.

Look forward to seeing you around.

Welcome Sotomone. Good to see you so active here.

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.

Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.

There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.

Thank you for the welcome. I really appreciate your advice. And I do ask forgiveness for my grammar and understand it has much to be needed in it, with so much more practice I am certain my grammar will become so very much more better. And willing accept fixes. And as for if my information is incorrect and what I have researched is wrong nothing like willingly admitting defeat to such things right?

Edit: Thank you as well OnceConvinced.

Welcome to our little corner of the world Sotomone. Looks like you have jumped right in with both feet.

Confused might point out to you that it is a mistake to grant me permission to correct your grammar. But it is too late. The Grammar Nazi in me needs only to be asked once!

BUGGERS.... My bag Sotomone. I should have warned you to never show that particular weakness to the Grammar Nazi as he is relentless. I should also point out that he is a stickler for spelling as well. When I said Nazi, I really meant Nazi in the disguise of a Royal Canadian Mount (pain in the rump)...... Just don't get him started on the computer language. He, otseng, jester, and a few too many others will turn into the geek squad.

I rather see the grammar nazi than be left with bad grammar. I forgot to also mention I am a roleplayer. A text roleplayer at that or rp for short. This type of thing requires good grammar. xP But then since he has decided to help I happily take it.

Oh one more thing to say to you McCulloch, as long as you keep it to PM's instead of flooding the debates with corrections. xP Maybe I might be able to completely avoid you if I come near perfect. But no one is perfect. xD! Just don't flood my PM box. I beg of you on my hands and knees. Haha.
