Should we handle victory the way the Christian god decrees?

Frank has a talent for inciting those. He gets in them with half a dozen people on a regular basis. What he thinks is passing for urbane and personable looks to anyone paying attention like just garden variety self absorption and aged sourness. Implicator tried for a very long time, when he first started posting, not to descend to Apisa's level, but Apisa insisted. After he muddies you and gets off the slimiest low blow (in my case he got racial), he then starts whining as if he's the wronged party - as if all those he has p*ssing contests with just don't know how to argue with someone so smart.

He tries to characterize me as someone who "can't get him from under my skin". I see it differently. I think I rightly recoil at the stench Apisa brings to this forum. I will always tell him and you other dear readers just exactly how I see his pitiable, bellybutton-gazing pap.

That's pathetic, Frank.

Obviously what I was "thinking" was that you were correct in your assertion. What you took issue with was obviously my "thought" that this would all be over soon. If I had said "I think Frank is extremely bright", you would not have responded with "perhaps you ought to stay away from thinking." And so it was what I was thinking that you took issue with, not the fact that I *was* thinking. And we all know what I was thinking - something you yourself asserted.

I said what I had to say...and you can use it for as long as you want in this silly stalling tactic.

I actually enjoy your tantrums....so please do not stop throwing them due to anything I am saying.

You shot yourself in the foot ... best go and stop the bleeding.

I have not shot myself in the foot...or anywhere else, Implicator. So stop with the "I am declaring victory" speeches.

And at some point, you will have to stop the stalling also.

You do remember that you have a posting due that will accept the challenge I posed in my opening comments...don't you?

I agree with your characterization of Frank, unfortunately. I had hoped to have a decent, emotion-free conversation with him (he and I actually had the beginnings of such when last I met him), but it didn't work out that way this time.

Just as soon as he finally realized the tack I was taking with him, he became all uppity and such. He has dodged answering most of my questions, and when I press him to "finish it off" as he boasted of earlier, he has suddenly decided to wait for me to respond to his initial post.

And now he pulls out the condescending tone, as if using it somehow makes his arguments sound more convincing than they really are.

I'm not much for talking *about* people to others (as Frank seems to relish), but in this case I am making a special exception for him.

Snood: Why don't you shut Frank up by posting here the references from Holy Writ which show Almighty God to be the loving, caring protector of the Universe? List just some of the sweetest things He has spoken unto his followers and let Frank stew over those revelations.

That will show him and all of us how very wrong Frank is.

Zephaniah 3:17  The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing.

Matthew 4: 1-10

It's a spiritual thing - you wouldn't understand...

Good one, Frank. I'm also waiting for these christians to show from the bible where god shows his love. They seem to quote verses that has nothing to do with your question. LOL

And after they do that...I wish one or two of them would answer the theme question of this thread:

When we are victorious over an adversary...should we slaughter all the men of the vanquished nation as the good, kind, compassionate, humanity loving god of the Bible directs?
