-Removed-Well, that's mainly because sonship's beliefs are pretty much right down the line of traditional Christian belief. No weirdness there. I have never heard him spouting anything I haven't heard a zillion times before from other Christians. He only sticks out in this forum because he's completely normal.

Originally posted by SuzianneI wanted to say shame on you for feeding the trolls, but I can barely resist the temptation for doing the same, so... uh... so never mind.

Divageester has put most of the atheists here to shame with his unwavering devotion to trashing Christianity, so his value as a Christian is very apparent to all who have witnessed his greatness. He appears to have an inexhaustible supply of energy and a sustained ability to attack Christianity like no atheist I've ever seen.... he also seems to have a lot of free time on his hands, which causes me to wonder about the sort of 'corporate environment' he has alluded to working within. Given his penchant for playing hard ball (even when he doesn't need to) I'm guessing his work might have something to do with collections, or perhaps sales... specifically telemarketing, but it would probably be more diplomatic of me to just say 'sales'.
In any event, I've been working on collecting pertinent information about divegeester, and have already worked up a crude profile on him. It's just a start, and it will undoubtedly need to be updated with corrections and more information as it becomes available... but I feel I'm already off to a good start, and it does help pass the time. I'm retired and seem to have more than enough time for interesting projects such as this.
And here I was worried about finding enough to do... but just because I no longer get paid is no reason for me to completely abandon what I used to enjoy doing for a living. 🙂
Originally posted by Ghost of a DukeI'm guessing he simply misspoke when he said that. Many Christians believe a person is gay by choice, rather than by innate preference, so maybe he meant that. But I'm not going to second guess the man. Ask him what he meant.

But I think even thinking a gay person is gay by choice is rather ridiculous on the face of it, considering the extreme harrassment one might receive by announcing they're gay, who would choose that? At least society is changing enough, albeit slowly, so that most people can 'come out' with less fear than ever.

And yes, i have asked him for clarity on his statement:
"I am not confused to realize when someone is pretending to act as someone of the opposite sex physiologically and psychologically. And that is what same sex marriage is, a form of pretending - a fantasy."

In keeping with my policy of not giving out too much information about myself I believe I can safely say without compromising any important role I might happen to presently be engaged in with a privately funded international secret organization that it wasn't anything like criminal profiling.
It was more like something slightly related to profiling, but not nearly as threatening or sexy as working for the CIA or Interpol or the FBI... or U.N.C.L.E.
