That's a common problem. You need a bigger fuse.

I made a little joke and you respond with a rant. Any the joke wasn't evn directed at you.
Of course YOU are also skeptical. When you come to an intersection, you don't take it on faith that there will be no other cars. You skeptically look both ways.

... which is one of the reasons you tossed out the deities yet kept their message.
I kept THE message because it's a HUMAN message; it's OUR message, not "theirs". We don't need ANY deities to accept the message, let alone decide that one particular deity is right and all of the others are wrong.

Please provide a clear and concise example of me lying, or you are wrong.
Some years ago you had an interaction with a member named rrhain. He suggested an experiment: put an inch or so of water in a bathtub, then put a brick in it (dry land). Then scoop up some of the water and pour it over the brick. That was an analogy of the Flood, illustrating how it is impossible to cover all of the existing land with the existing water. You professed, post after post, to not understand the obvious. You were either a huge idiot or you were lying about how huge an idiot you were.

"Based on what you write" are conclusions, not assumptions. riVeRraT's assumptions that I was referring to, were about what (American) news networks I watch. I have not written about that. He was pulling his assumptions out of his ass.
Try thinking for once. You won't fry either side of your brain.

You can't see God, so you ought to be skeptical.

I accept the science as to how old the planet likely is.
As I said, you might as well not be. You're not really accepting science. You're just cherry-picking the parts you want to accept. That isn't how science works.

The example is entirely from memory (which is not always 100% accurate).

I don't believe in absolutes, which is why I said that you were EITHER a liar or a huge idiot. I am also open to additional options if you're worried about false dichotomies.
riVeRraT writes:
I will say it once again, I have never lied in this forum.
Do you understand why that claim is worthless?
riVeRraT writes:
What purpose would that serve?
Are you suggesting that nobody has ever lied? Because if other liars have had a purpose, then there is one or more purposes.

I originally came here to share the love I felt from God.
Good. You can have mine too - but it turned out not to be real.
riVeRraT writes:
Unfortunately too many people turned out to be just mean people...
I'm practically drowning in the love pouring off of you, too.

I sense a farewell and a bow coming on.

Actually, no. The Canadian news networks don't broadcast much opinion.
But you go ahead with your conspiracy theories if that's what gives you comfort.
