sojourner Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Not sure where to ask this but how did I get pinned as a doubter? lol its not a number of posts I assume that changes that but someone that pinned me with that title? What am I doubting that gives me the dubious honor of wearing doubter ? just so I know, like to be informed apologist probably wouldnt fit me either, wondering what other choices I would have or do I get any? sojourner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. S. Martin Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Relax, my dear. I'm not sure, either, how these titles get assigned. For all I know, it's automatically programed into the system. After a certain number of posts I think you get control over it but I don't know for sure what the magic number is--100, 500, 1000. I forget. Post your heart away and we'll get to know you for who you are regardless of what some computer program labels you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pandora Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 http://www.ex-christian.net/index.php?show...mp;#entry315653 I think posts like that let everyone know you're not a typical Christian. You seem to be doubting at least the scheme of things to me, even if you still believe a lot of the Bible. We've had a few Christans on this board who started out like you.... You're a very thoughtful person now, and you're bound to start applying some of the same thoughtfulness to your faith. A preacher's wife who only goes to church once a week? I'm impressed, myself... I think you'll get a lot of respect here. Anyway, I look forward to reading your thoughts. I don't post very often, though. If you really want the Christian label, I'm sure you could PM a moderator and request it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alice Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I've never actually worked out how to change mine ... so mine is a bit boring, I'm assuming I have amassed enough posts to qualify for changing it myself ? I know the instructions are probably on the board somewhere ... Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks! What 'title' are going to opt for Sojourner?

Oldjew Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 But the worse title you could have is Yugo, because according to Nibs if you have the title Yugo that makes you completely worthless. But "pimp by smart ass": does not really even make sense. What is a pimp? A pimp is a pander or go between in sexual intrigues. One who ministers to the passions or desires of another. (Since sex has no part of who you are.) And what is a smart ass? A cocky, conceited person. A know it all. Some one that no matter what you say or can prove will come back with a wise crack to get some one's goat. So Pimp by smart ass could mean one who panders or ministers to others to get their goat. A shorter word would be; "troll", one who trolls for trouble. One who posts on threads just to start an argument for the pure pleasure of making others feel bad. To get back at some one for disagreeing with you. To bait some one into an argument in hopes some one will feel bad because they don't agree with you or do not believe as you do. Since you are a believer and this is a non-believer forum, and by you coming here to post, one of these sentences would more than likely as not fit you. I mean, what would be the point if say I post on a believers site that I am a non-believer and I argue with them? What would be my object, my aim? Wouldn't I actually be trolling to bait them? How would I gain anything by posting on their forum? They won't become atheist because I post in opposition of them. So why do you post here? Is it not for the reason of just getting some one's goat? Can you refute my questions and come to a more rational answer than I gave here? And if you can, can you convince a moderator your true intentions are honorable? If you can I am sure your status would change, it not who knows but the moderator himself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sojourner Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Im here because I want to be and there might be more reasons that I dont even understand at this time, yet. The first time I read some of the posts I felt I could relate very well because they were refuting hell, damnation and a vicious God. Is it somehow threatening or something to have a christian here that actually agrees with you on some major points? Is that it? since no other christians ever agree with anything maybe Im this thorn in the flesh or something. Rudeness is not going to run me off but if you all really dont want me here, all you gotta do is ask me to leave and not come back and I will. sojourner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 ...Since you are a believer and this is a non-believer forum, ... I'm sorry to jump in here, but I just wanted to make a little correction. It's not a forum for "non-believers", but a forum for "non-Christians" or more specifically "ex-Christians". We do have members that have taken on a different belief or world view, for instance we do have at least one deist, and at times we've had people of Jewish faith and even Wicca. So I just felt I had to correct this little mishap. We're not supposed to be the Ultra-hardcore-atheist-death-to-all-religion forum, but more like, We-managed-to-survive-and-get-out-of-the-religious-bondage-of-Christianity. With that said, it is notable to see that most of the Ex-Christians do go towards the agnostic or even the atheist view rather than a different belief, so the atheists might be dominating this board, it does not mean it therefore belongs to that group. I think Sojourner is of a different species of Christian and it doesn't hurt to have him around to speak his mind, as long as us moderators keep an eye on it. If he steps out of line, we'll take care of it. So no worries. That's cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraphicsGuy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Sojourner, Would you mind posting your story/experiences some where? Perhaps in the "Ex-Christian Theism or Spirituality" forum? You sound somewhat like an Ex-Xian to me if you're more of a universalist... I was just thinking it might help us get to know you a little...or did you post your story and I just missed it? I tend to miss a lot of things... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sojourner Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Thanks Graphics Im not an exchristian in the same sense as you all. Im an ex mean vicious God and eternal torment believer though. I still belive in Jesus Christ. I believe he came died and resurrected. I believe he did it all to show forth humility, forgivness, love and mercy. I know I might sound like Im not a christian because I am rather unorthodox but I really do believe very much in God and Jesus Christ. I think it would be rude of me to hang out up there and post, wouldnt it? Cause Im not an exchristian in the sense you all are. What we do have in common is we both believe the hateful blood thirsty God that is presented by chrisitanity is false. That is what drew me here was reading all the posts against eternal torment, hell and a vicious God. Of course you all take it further to a NO God or perhaps a force of some kind or humanism. anyhoo, I dont think you would want my testimony in the ex-christian area sojourner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouroboros Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 It sounds like you're a bit of a universalist/liberal/free thinking Christian then.
