Announcing my presence

Hello to all.
What you need to know about me:
Yes, I'm a Star Wars fan. Not obsessively, and I do bow to more poerful scifi tech.
I'll happily debate that the sky is pink, if I can convince someone to believe. I can debate either side of an issue, and have been known to debate myself on occasion. Unless I have a nefarious plot, I will only debate what I really believe, though.
Yes, I'm a young-earth creationist. (If anything that's two orders of magnitude older than I'll ever live to be could be considered 'young'.)
I am open about my faith, and will not break out my Bible for a good bashing unless provoked.
I'm bloody hard to provoke.
I tolerate abject stupidity for no more than five minutes. Anyone violating this is just begging for a good rant.
If you're gonna judge me, do it for who I am, not what I believe.
And YES I'm a n00b. Get over it. The sooner you start treating me like a real person, the better for us all.
Have much happiness.

Welcome! I'm not sure where to begin with this...I'm glad you're here, but slightly disappointed that you've been taken in by the theologically unsound doctrine of creationism. I hope the cynical sarcasm that tends to liberally lace conversations around here won't drive you off, and on behalf of the small community of Christians here (we're tenacious little buggers), welcome, stoat!
*POKE*

Theologically unsound? how do you mean?
I have already felt the wrath of Shinova's tank. I'm a member of SB, as well. (Seeing as it was the first bb of this kind I found....)
Besides.... [walks over to shadows, pats the head of some barely visible Big Cat, obviously packing some serious firepower.] I come equipped with antitank happiness.

When you consider than the universe is about 7 orders of magnitude older than that, yes, it is quite young.

<- glares at the poking.
Shinova, have you ever met Sari?
<- grins evilly as said barely-visible big cat fires a swarm of 50GT micro-missiles at the tank, obliterating it in a blast visible from the moon, then jumps out of the shadows and flays her unsuspecting victim. She then proceeds to munch on the remains.

Are you quite finished? Bloody mages, think they all that....
Youre not worth a flaying, and Sari's too busy eating lunch right now, anyway.

Unless you cannot tolerate yourself, those two sentences are contradictory. There are few things on this Earth dumber than young-Earth creationism.

Ah. I'm not in the mood for a young earth vs. what, secular humanism? debate right now.
Quite frankly, I figured you, being the head honcho out here, would be more inclined to keep the peace, than christian bash.

Young-Earth Creationism vs. The Entirety of the Scientific Community. You obviously have no clue what you're up against.
If you weren't in the mood for such a debate, then you shouldn't have stated your beliefs as facts.

My deepest condolences to you on your being a YEC.

I give him a week before he leaves the board, claiming that we don't debate because we use foul language when debating.

Despite the overall inclination of this board, I think we should, at least for a start, lay off on the "debunking" of everyone who believes in something resembling religion.
Aiyel isn't trying to convert any of us.

Did I once use the word fact as it relates to my faith? nope.
Do I believe it to be fact? Well, that's a tough question. I believe it as a Matter of Faith, yes. I do not have hard, scientific evidence to back it up.
I'm not out here to yell REPENT from the highest tower, I'm here because I actually like scifi.
I only mentioned my beliefs so that you'd all know ahead of time, and because I'm the kind of person who is open about their beliefs. Cristians of the past have suffered far worse than anything you are capable of doing to me over a message board, all because they believed.

Young-Earth vs SCIENCE, dumb-ass.

This has nothing to do with Christian-bashing. This is about stupidity-bashing. It is possible to be a Christian without being a YEC.
As for keeping the peace, perhaps you failed to notice the site motto. 'Tis more important to layeth the SmackDown on stupidity than keep the peace.

The fact is, you're still out to bash me solely on my beliefs.
So does faith = stupidity in your eyes?

Ah, but in the case of young-Earth creationism, you have hard, scientific evidence to refute it. That's the problem.
I only mentioned my beliefs so that you'd all know ahead of time, and because I'm the kind of person who is open about their beliefs. Cristians of the past have suffered far worse than anything you are capable of doing to me over a message board, all because they believed.
They've also inflicted far worse, all because certain people didn't believe. And we continue to suffer under repressive laws designed to maintain some semblance of that "tradition" (eg- anti-porn laws).

Not at all. However, denial of objective reality (ie- virtually all of science in an attempt to pretend that the Earth has only existed for 6000 years) is stupidity. Do not persist with this moronic strawman.
