3 Polite Questions for Mark Knowles - Thanks

1. 51

   Mark,
   
   I have three questions for you and you can certainly decline answering them but with all of the openess you have shown in all of your past posts, I thought maybe you wouldn't mind. I first want you to know that I have nothing published on HubPages, although I may be adding some Hubs in the near future.
   I have been reading on this site for quite some time, especially the forums and I've seen lots of interesting stuff on the religion and philosopy one.
   
   I've discovered some interesting parallels at times that have greatly tweaked my inquisitiveness. I have questions that developed in my own mind that can't be answered except by you. You are possibly the most interesting person on HubPages and likely the most controversial and I can only offer my returned appreciation, should you be willing to answer my three questions.
   
   I will be adding to my profile soon as well, once I can figure out the use of this site's platform. I am 50 years  of age, a disabled American with a college grad daughter and a 30 year marriage to my wife. These, plus other facts I plan to place on my Hubber information.
   
   I'll also add that I am not registered under any other name on HubPages and I am not a member that you have ever had a formal debate with. My questions being posted today, are in fact not for the purpose of debate or scrutiny but are simply posed for the sake of my own curiosity and if other users of the forum here would admit it, they are curious to know the answers to these questions as well.
   
   Here they are Mark:
   
   Do you  in fact have a formal theological background (a degree in Bible studies)?
   
   Where you educated in Catholic School as a child?
   
   Are you, or have you previously been a member of the Church of Satan?
   
   Thank you, regardless of which answers you may choose to provide and even if you choose not to answer any of them.

   If you want to have a two-person conversation that is kinda what email is for.  Or at least have the decency not to use a sockpuppet account.

   If Mark prefers not to answer the questions, I believe he will let me know. I don't believe there is any reason first of all, for you to step in front of him and I don't believe he requires your defense or that he is in need of one to begin with.
   
   I'm not familiar with what what a sockpuppet account is. If it refers to secondary ones, this is not the case with me. I have no others but this one.

      This is a forum.  If no one else is allowed to comment you are asking your questions in the wrong place.
      
      A sockpuppet account is an accounted started by a long-standing member to hide their identity--and it is against Hubpages guidelines.
      
      If you have never been here before why are you choosing this public forum to call out a member in a pretty hostile way after being here literally ten minutes?  That suggests a rather sudden fascination with him in which case maybe you don't need to get an email account, you need to get a room.

   You signed up just to ask me these questions?   or, do you have another account, and you just didn't want to use that one?
   
   1.  Yes, but only to high school standard, which I would equate to 2 years of American college  (see number 2).
   2.  No. Protestant high church boarding school.
   3. No.
   
   Why do you ask?

                  Thanks.  I think the moment has passed.  There is a word alum but I couldn't make sense of it.  Chemistry or something.  Seemed to have nothing to do with Churches.
                  
                  I spent rather too long trying to figure out a Satanic link with it.

               Abbreviated way of saying another member of the alumni.    And, please know I was only joking.

      You should feel pretty good about yourself, Mark!  Someone signed up for HP just to ask you questions - and not even about making money online!

   I have no other account with Hubpages, not under a different email or username; this is my only one.
   
   No, I didn't join just to ask those questions. I was testing my new membership by first asking those questions which have been a curiosity to me. The religion and philosophy forum is the hottest, busiest one here at this site and probably the most visited. I read more here about 2 years ago and stopped for a while about 1 year ago. When I came back, I saw that this topic area of the forum was still buzzing.
   
   Thank you for answering the questions, my curiosity (my only reason for asking them) is satisfied.
   
   psycheskinner:
   
   I put you on edge with this thread, although I'm not certain why. It was as simple as my asking the questions and knowing Mark might not want to respond to them. I would have thanked him either way. He's a very strong personality and I don't believe he needs you to defend him.
   
   Thanks again.

   It has always been my opinion of Mark, that he is a very inteligent and informed person. He and I may not agree on certain topics but that does not alter my opinion of him.

   Just a point... cause I like making them...
   
   Technically Satanism is a judeo-christian religion as it is based on the new and old tests. of the bible...
   
   Just sayin he's likely not a Satanist as then he would be a Christian...
