Setanta, you shouldn't be so hard on yourself.
Your idiocy which you attempt to pass off as humor just points up your willful ignorance. You and MOAN are by no means exemplary of all christians, and in fact, you represent the point of view of the lunatic fringe. You cannot possibly give up a statement that every bit of the bobble is literal truth, because you armor yourself in an assertion that there is no error.
In fact, a great many rational christians exist in the world who do not take every word of the bobble as literal truth. They are intelligent enough to see the childish superstitions for what they are, and to eclectically filter out the nonsense, to arrive at the essence, the best that there is to offer in scripture. It is the the legion of lock-step, willfully blind evangelicals who give christianity the bad name it saddly deserves. Save your palid attempts at witticism for someone else. I despise every bit of religious nonsense you puke up here.
Ah yes, Lord Vaako, calling everyone idiots and hateful. You're an equal opportunity elitist aren't you. You're smarter than everyone apparently. Whatta hoot! I'll be sure to treat you with the same respect you treat everyone else ... Emily!
In this thread as well: For as long as you continue to address posts to me, i will point out that your expressed opinions are founded in hysteria and hate, and conditioned by a profound ignorance.
That's fine Emily, You may have the last word. I will let you.
Wherever you follow me in your childish rage: For as long as you continue to address posts to me, i will point out that your expressed opinions are founded in hysteria and hate, and conditioned by a profound ignorance.
Nah, I don't think that she cares either!
Emily?
Maybe Emily Post?
Emily Dickenson?
Or maybe William Faulkner's Emily . . . you know, the one with the rose?
No, it's the one with the corpse in her bed . . .
You can learn something from anyone, even if it is ONLY how NOT to act.
Emily Post, the good manners maven. I have renamed Setenta as Emily, since he thinks running around calling everyone ignorant idiots is proper etiquette. If "Emily" wants to act like a spoiled little child, I'll treat her as such. She accused me of having a "tantrum", but I noticed she was here stamping her little feet as others besides me. It appears it is her way to deal with people that won't tow in to her set of beliefs. I have allowed her to run off and pout.
You haven't met Frank yet.
Besides, there isn't a person on the board as far apart from Setanta as I am.
He even prefers Coke, fer goodness sake!
Hey Set!
Chug this!!!!
Bite me Neo . . . and i mean that in only the most Christian, charitable way . . .
And for the benefit of MOAN and anyone else here who thinks Stevepax is their buddy because he vilifies me--here's what he's on about: He became so hysterically enraged about the Iraq war that he stated he would not mourn any troops killed, and would not mourn for their families. He's been having a hissy fit ever since it told him that such a remark was born of hysteria and hate, and conditioned by ignorance.
Who's yer buddy, MOAN?
