   Heee wow! Old man Joe responding. :-)   
      
   Hi Joe,   
      
   I have a few questions for you.   
   I hope you, or Old man Joe, can find some time to answer them.

   these.   
      
      
   Why do you talk about yourself in the third person?   
   Wouldn't the first person make more sense?   
   Or are you somebody else?   
   I am all confused now.   
   It would be nice and honest to let us all know who we are dealing with:   
   Old man Joe or somebody else.   
      
   I checked your headers, and the original posting and this one seem to   
   come from the same place, so it seems you are the one and the same   
   computer, using Forte Agent 1.93/32.576 English (American).

   But don't you consider that spam?   
   Old man Joe is posting a LOT to MANY newsgroups at once.   
      
   Posting en masse without dealing with all responses is typically spam.   
   It is a one-way traffic.   
   And that makes it very uninteresting for the receivers of the meassages.   
      
   This is usenet, discussiongroups. We DISCUSS.   
   Just posting a few holy scriptures, then piss on science, and run away   
   is NOT POLITE.   
      
   Can you agree to that?   
      
   I hope you would just post ONE of your ideas, and discuss/defend them.   
   Give it some depth.   
   Test your ideas.   
   This is all so superflicial....   
      
   Can you agree to that?   
      
      
   >   
   > however, some people are so vile that a conversation can not be had.   
      
      
   Simple: ignore them.   
   Any idiot can post here.   
      
   But using usenet as a place to post your ideas in a unidirectional   
   manner isn't the solution.   
   Rules are simple: Ignore stupid responses and namecalling, and pay   
   attention to more sincere responses.   
      
   In defense of the namecallers I would like to say that they probably   
   started out more friendly, but grew tired of creationists running away.   
   We see that happening all the time here.   
   So please have a little understanding for that.

   My dear Old Man Joe: You are posting to:   
   alt.talk.creationism   
   alt.christnet.calvinist   
   alt.religion.clergy   
   alt.recovery.fundamentalism   
   alt.religion.christian.lutheran   
   alt.religion.end-times.prophecies   
   alt.religion.christian.presbyterian   
   alt.agnosticism   
   alt.athiesm <-- Is that for real?   
   alt.flame.jesus.christ   
   alt.atheism   
      
   Now think about that.   
   Do you seriously expect all the users of these groups to agree with you?   
   To simply swallow what you present them?   
   For example: Do you seriously expect people in alt.atheism to start   
   believing in god(s) because you post some pieces of scripture?   
      
   --> THIS ISN'T WORKING OLD MAN JOE <--   
      
   If you want to save souls or something like that, you must really reach   
   out more.   
   You must start with understanding WHY people think what they think.   
      
   Do you understand and agree to what I am saying/asking?

   No, atheists are not 'turned away by god'.   
   How can you turn away from something that you is not there in your mind?   
      
   Atheist have a very different approach. It would help you a lot to   
   understand them better. They are not idiots, you know.

   I guess that one is for 'default', since I cannot remember calling you   
   that (but possibly I did. I hate newsgroup spamming.).   
      
   So let's get to the core of this all: What is you/old man joe has to say?   
   And also important: To which audience?   
   Atheist?   
   Theists of the wrong conviction?   
      
   This is important.   
   I for example can be considered an atheist, and I don't care too much   
   for theist fighting each other over the interpretation of a piece of   
   scripture from a book I don't take seriously.   
      
   On the other hand: Religious guy from conviction X might not be too   
   interested in a discussion between you and me about the existance of god.   
      
   So you might want to shorten that crossposting list a little.   
      
   Do you agree Old Man Joe? Do I make sense (for an atheist that is)?   
      
   Regards,   
   Erwin Moller
