@spendius,
Quote:You're on a real ego winger. You want your old man to only say what you want. As you do with the Pope. No doubt God is in the same boat.
Nope, I honer thy Father and Thy mother...And do good to them, and you will be well all the days of your life...I listen to the Bible...Unlike you, who treat it as a toilet...and tell others what they should do, but don't do it yourself...Even if a man is your Father, if he needs to be rebuked...then it is a good thing...
Quote:And girls too. How do you know they don't just love being thought of like that.
Any self-respecting person would not, like it...Women, and girls are no different...I am not for feminism...But I am not for maninism either...I am about equality...
Quote:They sure do dress like that is exactly what they want to inspire. Why do married women get all dolled up for social occasions?
They might like it...But deep down inside, I bet they do not like to be treated like a piece of meat...Would you?
Quote: They are most alive when they know every guy in the room has a hard on for them. You're trying to trap them in your own fantasies.
Not at all...I am not about trapping anyone...Giving them the freedom, to be happy, if they want to be with me, and me with them...and treating them as an equal, is much better indeed...Then just totally flattering their ego's and basically lying to them...Just to please them, if you do not actually feel that way about them...
Some of the **** that you say Spendi...Is way out there...You do live way to much in the past...
Even the Bible, and Church...Are about equality...
Quote:Do you think girls care whether you don't lie to them.
Yes I do, think they do...
Quote:They can make their own minds up about things like that.
Yeah, but you're the one who perpetuates that kind of stuff...And why they feel like they are held down...And why there are feminists....
Quote: Your reassurances are not worth a blow on a ragman's snot-rag.
I will ask for your opinion...When You are a female...And we are in a relationship...Till then, and actually never...You do it your way, and I'll do it mine....
The women I meet, and chose...to be with, are happy because they chose me, and I chose them, and they are happy to be themselves, and I am happy to be myself...We do not ever have to pretend we are something we are not....If you like living like that...Best wishes to you!
Quote:Auberon Waugh said that the more insistent a man was about his honesty the faster he counted the spoons.
And you do not believe what you are doing, is dishonest? I can not think of any great woman, ever, who would enjoy a man doing that to them, rather than being completely honest with them, about everything...As they are a person just like you and I!
Quote:You did. As it suits you. Everybody agrees with the Pope on 99% of stuff. It's mostly law.
So Do I!
Quote:The Pope is infallible. As one might expect. The idea of the Church is to make an organisation so large, its labours so distinguished and its authority so final that it may satisfactorily use its great prestige to compel recognition of its teachings. Anybody who objects to any part of that is not relevant to the Church despite protestations to the contrary. Dressing up in the 99% is just a disguise and atheists don't stoop to that.
Do you mean like this???
"Going to church and taking the sacraments
are reinforcement.
Spectacular ceremonials and rituals to bolster faith in the Church. I don't need my faith in the Church bolstering. And I don't say that others should do those things. Or not do. I am aware that if I go against the Church's teaching I am being subversive in some way. You won't find me trying to justify it.??"
At least my position, is clear enough to see, whether I take the Church, serious or not...As if, you do the most important thing or do you not, do it?
You seem to think that a middle ground is best??? Why???
If it is so correct, then do what it says to do...If it is only important enough to back for social reasons...Then tell people you are an atheist...And you do not do the Sacraments....And You're a hypocrite for telling others that they should.....
No one is asking you to perform a miracle, they just want you to be honest, or stop doing it...
Quote:My posts bother unbelievers. Yours can't possibly.
Your wrong indeed! Go back and read this thread in its entirety if you do not believe me....That is not being humble now is it Spendi?
But it still makes no sense, as you are a unbeliever?? So what is the purpose to your preachings? And you tell Christians what they need to do? But yet your not actually one of them???
