You're owned, Izzy, because you've profaned the sacredness of a promise you've made. This sacredness requires that a man's word should be as good as his bond. You promised us you'd never come here again and now you've broken the promise twice! Twice! That you even could not foresee the foreseeable future of your own behavior reveals the truth that you're near-sighted, small-minded and suitable for menial work!

You're at my service now, Izzy. I'm the boss here. Twice breaking a promise has made you a downright loser. Off you go. Learn well and arm your brain with the ideas from FDR, JFK, Jefferson, Lincoln and Hawking... with critically scientific thinking of course before you request to come back to join the discussion.

Just out of curiosity Oristar,
do u believe that the success of the American Revolution
had an effect upon the attendance of Church in England??

IF so, then will u explain HOW Church attendance was affected by the
American Revolution ? . . .

The answer is an obvious Yes.

It needs a comprehensive analysis that concerns many aspects. I will take time to complete it (but not in this reply). If you think calmly you will easily find a breakthrough on the question:

About 12,000 British troops perished in the American Revolution, most of them Christians. They could no more attend churches. So was the attendance of Church in England increased? Or decreased? Isn't it apparent, is it?

Tho I was periferally aware of it,
I did not keep up-to-date on this issue.

@oristarA,

OK. I see what u mean:
a reduction by the number of fatalities.
This assumes that those English soldiers were attenders of Church.

Thank u.

The soldiers weren't all English, (Scots, Welsh, Irish.)

Despite all this time Oristar still has not provided one scrap of evidence to link the modern day decline in Christianity in the UK to the American Revolution. Saying that the people who died could no longer go to church is no evidence at all, you could say that about anything, like the decline in milk consumption.

If they left to war, their relatives increased their church attendance, in order to pray for their survival.

At least, it was the way it worked for the sailors at the time..

Take photos and upload them to show that you're not lying, Dave. Very Happy

They also could pray at home.

I must confess, I did not see THAT argument coming.
Good to see you have a sense of humor, oristarA.

By the way, if you add in deaths by disease, the number rises to about 24,000.

I met some libertarians distributing their literature,
offering a dinner. I shud get more libertarian friends in Florida.

It was wise of them to have chosen a Gun Show for the site of their distribution.

Many gun shows in America. Each one of them would be unique I think.
But even if I want to meet you, you have to show your photo so that I can recognize you among the crowd.
Why not just post some pics here?
It's the Mid-autumn Festival here today. I got to have fun and suspended updating for the time being.

No, no thay 'd be much too ugly & repulsive.
I 'd surely be ignominiously hurled out of A2K for befouling the forum with such offensive material.
I almost bought 2 beautiful guns from some Federal Firearms Licensed dealers yesterday.
If thay did not have licenses, then I 'd have purchased those 2 charming revolvers.
I almost wish that I had taken their pictures, photogenic; modestly priced, too.
There was a .44 Magnum Ruger SuperBlackhawk with a 1O inch barrel
mounted with a 4 power telescopic sight for $72O
and there was a .45 caliber The Judge revolver for $42O.
It has a long cylinder to accomodate a 41O shotgun shell,
but I 've never been much of a shotgun person. Truth be told,
its handle felt a little too short, in my hand. I did not fire it,
but I already have other .45 caliber revolvers, including
a .44 Magnum Ruger SuperBlackhawk with a 7.5 inch barrel.
I have not fired that one for several years.
It fires both .44 Magnum and .44 Special ammunition.
Thay were also offering the massively framed, X-frame
Smith & Wesson .5O caliber revolver for $125O,
but I was not interested in that; its for hunting large animals,
which I don t. Thay r safe from me.

I don t need those revolvers for security. Thay just caught my eye.
I already have plenty of guns available for personal safety.
In the extremely un-likely event that I ever want to defend myself
with .44 Magnum, I already have the other SuperBlackhawk.
I got some ammunition and accoutrements.

@George,

The gun shows r probably a lot more beautiful
than that. (That is not to impugn your right to bare arms.)
