I think I've lost it. I think I've lost my will to debate Christianity. I like what I believe. I think it works. I really haven't found anything else that like or anything to counter what I like. Debating Christianity just doesn't work for me. I haven't really even read my Bible just to read it in over 6 months. I really need to get back into and get my thoughts straight. I need to stop relying on what I've been fed in school and church for my knowledge of Christianity. I'm gonna search through it myself. Maybe after I've done that, maybe my will to debate it will come back. I think now I have something like artist's block, or writer's block, only that it's debater's block. I don't want to debate it anymore. Right now I just need to learn, I like learning through debate, but still, I'm not able to do it as well as I would like to. I just want to read and study. My beliefs, and others. I'll still post on Gaia, partially because I want to question other people's beliefs to learn more about what other people think, and also because soemtimes I just can't help myself. But for right now, I'm talking a hiatus from Christianity debates.

Sound is back!
I want to get into debate again, but I have a really busy life, so I don't know if I'll be as active as I'd like. If I take awhile to respond, don't automatically take that as me conceeding.

	I think you do very well in debate and if you wish to take a break I will be disappointed. I would really like you to stick to it, but if you don't want to, I understand. Personally I debate because I enjoy it, but I also wish to learn from it as well. I hope I didn't offend you by throwing all my beliefs out at once. My beliefs tend to lean towards the Gnostic theology and I typically don't bring them into debate. It is allways more difficult to remain logical and level headed when the subject is personal. So I can understand why you might be flustered, but I still think you should persist. ninja Either way it's all good.

	I'm happy that you think I do well, but I personally think I suck at it. I'm always very hard on myself. I enjoy the excitement of debate, but I really do it to learn more. You didn't offend me at all since other people's beliefs never really offend me. I can respect your views. It is kinda hard for me to debate Christianity because I do tend to focus more on my inner feelings and emotions than on my logic. It's like, I don't really feel like arguing it, I'd just like to accept it for myself and keep it to myself without having to put a defense for it. It's hard to explain. I just lost my will to debate it.

	hi! you dont know me but im going to comment anyways... i have felt this way before too. ironic seeing as how we seem to believe the same things... In any case... its hard... to be surrounded by people who have nothing beter to do thantry and bash you. and to be surrounded by people who have no respect for your beliefs even the good few who really care, or argue with skill and aplomb are overshadowed. i have been debating for a whjile now on gaia in christian threads. i always get picked apart and can nevre answer all the questions. it doesnt make me question my beliefs, it just makes me feel like im letting them down. i think thats where your coming from. you seem to know whats right,. you seem to want to get back to it. i respect you a lot.
