Nonetheless, the question then is, did he convince you - an agnostic/metatheist - or was it wasted on you? You praised the explanation and bemoaned that it would be wasted on the "philosophically and theologically illiterate", so was it wasted on you?

Yes I am convinced. I am convinced that for the most part Catholics give thoughtful polite responses, while many of the reformation group are pit yorkies.

You accused me of posting just to post, but yet on this very thread elsie is giving his/her usual canned responses and has yet to make a contributory post. Do you ignore his posts for a reason?

Now THIS is some firm data to sink one's teeth into!

Not even artfully dodged! Well, sadly that's not the convincing I was talking about. Verga took some effort to explain the concept of the triune nature of God and you praised him for it. You claim to be an Agnostic/metatheist who, I presume, is searching for the truth. I applaud Verga for trying to teach you about God and pray that he continues to do so offline. If you are diligently seeking to know the truth, God promises that He will reward you:

But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. (Hebrews 11:6)

What you do with this is up to you.

No, I accused you of provoking people. Elsie has added plenty of value to this thread. That you see only "canned" responses shows me you don't bother to read them all. Another difference is that elsie believes in God and is a follower of Jesus Christ. You, on the other hand, boast of being agnostic (without knowledge) and rarely answer questions much less contribute to the learning experience Religion Forum threads are supposed to foster.
