My posts, which are very few, tend to reflect the way I'm feeling at the moment. I tried the boring, business power point presentation style on doctrinal topics for a while there, but found out TIC posts "hit closer to the mark", and are fun writing to boot. God only knows what people think of me on here, especially after one of those zany excursions!
But you bring up a good point, and an even greater truth. We really don't know people here in general, because we cannot contextualize the thoughts with the person. I agree with you though, there have been times I thought one thing about a poster, only to disagree with myself after reading their "second" posting.

I'm pretty much me, funny, cute, and I WILL smack some people upside the head.

I am who I am... personality wise and in most other ways, however, due to the fact that many DO know my identity in real life, I have to be very guarded. My views have (at least have tried to be) and could be used against me, therefore, I choose to not let all of my opinions public property.
I'm exactly the same, except that this topic is only about 1% of who I am, and I have very strong views about it, so you are seeing a slice of 1% of my personality, 90% of the time when I am here.
The other 99% of me tries to never have any discussions about church or religion ever... I do it all here.... so the people who interact with me other than here never see the attitude that I display here because we aren't talking about religion...
However I thought of something today... me coming here and not liking religion is kinda like a guy who doesn't like sports going onto a football forum and talking bad about football (even though my dad plays. lol). All the more reason for me to just do hit and run postings... most people don't even remember me anyway it has been so long since I posted regularly with the id's I used to use.
Brad - we'd like to see you post more often!
Drive by anytime and park for a while if you can!
