a letter from Jesus !

i just have to say i'd let wanda die for jesus

There are many things important enough to me to die for.

Funny, you didn't ask me if I voted for George Bush in that, did you? Did you even stop to wonder what I voted for or how I voted or anything like that at all? I doubt that you did.

I did not vote in the last election. I was in the hospital. However, I did vote in the state elections. I did vote in an early ballot also. However, I did not cast a vote for President of the United States.

I understand how you feel. I really do. What I don't understand is it seems just because someone is a Christian, they seem to be taking the flack for how everyone feels about the President.

I DIDN'T EVEN VOTE IN THE ELECTION! I had nothing to do with him being elected. There are Christians out here that don't think the same way other Christians do. WE ARE NOT ALL THE SAME.

I will not speak against our President. I am proud to be an American. I am proud to call Mr. Bush president.

Are you having fun, Mesquite? Hmmm. Seems to me, you have gone from having civil discussions with now trying to discredit me? Hey, have at it.

Quote:

Holy ****, it is maddening talking to people with this cult mentality.

Hahaha! You funny man kickycan.

I never vote.

Could care less actualy. I left this realm recently, kinda.

Wanda

And don't you agree that that god was pretty much a giant a-hole?

The most maddening thing about this whole thing is that no matter what you say, you can't get through the thick armor of willful ignorance that the blind faithful have erected around themselves. So you can't even have a rational discussion. No matter what you say, they always come back with this copout of "I just believe it."

BLIND FAITHFUL: "I believe that an invisible man in the sky is going to come down to earth and take all the good people like me up to the magic world in the sky because some book that was written thousands of years ago tells me it's true."

RATIONAL HUMAN BEING: "But you do realize that the book you are talking about is filled with stories and ideas stolen from other, older pagan religions, and is really just a bunch of horseshit, don't you? It's been proven. You can read about it all right hereif you want. And that's just the tip of the iceberg."

BLIND FAITHFUL: "I don't care what that says. I believe in the invisible man of MY bible."

It's maddening, I tell ya.

Since you are possessed of such erudition, perhaps you should educate us about all the bible myths and inconsistencies - one at a time, please, my brain is small.

Then I can show you one at a time that you have posted straw men.

How about you start with the ones I posted in that link. Go ahead, twist your brain into pretzels to come to your pre-determined conclusions. I'll enjoy watching it.

You posted them in that link? Or you posted the link?

I rarely visit off site links. Nothing against you. But it's your input I am searching for. So your telling me to visit a link is about as worthwhile as saying "it's in the encyclopedia, read it yourself". I want to know what you think.

I did visit the site for a look and found considerable evidence for the infiltration of pagan traditions and teachings into nominal christianity.

So what? Nominal christianity has little to do with the bible and nothing to do with God.

Are you saying there are some other references I may have missed that may discredit the bible? Point them out for me. I don't have time to do your work.

No dodge. Just a temporary aversion to the frustration of willful ignorance.

Your welcome.

You don't care who's running your country? Who's spending your money? Who makes the laws that you have to live by?
