Zilla, excellent and impeccable work as always. A pleasure watching you work and do so for the right reasons.
Buckie when I read your posts I am struck by one sad fact.
It really wouldn't matter if your scholarship and ideas were right on and bore the marks of genius, for even if they did they would never be impressive enough to overcome the most marked and overwhelming impression you make in that you are a jack ass.
Fortunately as is readily apparent that last impression has little to worry about from the former...
You have the attitude that I have most oft seen in atheists and it is a clear fact that you argue not for God's glory but your own self gratification, something I suspect is a recurring theme in other areas of your life as well.
Perhaps that is why you have to keep repeating “I'm a Christian, I'm a Christian”, and even with that most are unconvinced, at least as it pertains to your attitude and presentation.
One last thought, you mentioned you were searching out a challenge, something which again is out of place in discussions in this arena. However if that is something you crave for yourself, may I suggest something that will tax your current abilities and skills and perhaps take them to the next level.
I am thinking along the lines of a second grade manners class....

You're certainly not the only one who's come to the conclusion that he's a poseur.

Oh, be careful, dear. There are some posters on this thread don’t want to hear about silly things like good manners. They get really upset if you suggest it’s better to have good manners. It’s very entertaining.
