flaming is flaming, reciprocated or not, it takes at least 2 to make a flame war work, and its among the surest of ways to get a thread unwanted "official attention".

Enjoy.

I don't want to set the world on fire
I just want to start
A flame in your heart
In my heart I have but one desire
And that one is you
No other will do.

While giving 'official attention' to this, and any other thread involving off topic banter between snood and myself, please note who initiated each of these exchanges.
You'll find the case to be the same with unfailing certainty in each instance.

I've lost all ambition for worldly acclaim
I just want to be the one you love
And with your admission that you feel the same
I'll have reached the goal I'm dreaming of

Timber, do you think its a fair statement, in a discussion about the reality of a deity, to make note that someone has named themselves as their own deity? Do you think that is a personal attack on the same level as "He hangs on my ballsack"?

If you haven't noticed, bro, it's you that lay's snide remarks about me every time I post, not vice versa. Continue swinging, fanboy.

I think overlooking the fact that christ might just be a work of fiction was relevant to the conversation and worth pointing out, while, as usual, your comment directed at me was completely off topic.

Don't matter a bit who started what - rising to bait is no better than casting it. What part of that might anyone have trouble understanding?

Fair enough. An 'ignore poster' option would be neat right about now.

Well it all goes back to that old 'God lets the rain fall on both the good and the bad' thing again doesn't it? Very Happy

Good grief, Charlie Brown! With the "true believers", just about ANYTHING can be turned around to suit their fantasies.

Your post bendragonbrown reminds me of an old story. The person was very upset, and was talking to her friend. She said that she had prayed to god, but she still did not get her wish. She said that god did not hear her prayer. Her friend said to her,

"God heard your prayer, and he listened to you. It's just that he said, 'NO!" Laughing

Far be it from me to allow logic and reason to get involved with one's most closely held beliefs! Laughing

Straw man. Fish and fisherman are a team; without cooperation, neither gets anywhere. To elect to play the game is to lose the game; it has no winners.

or as Lord Justice Bown put it

Quote:
The rain it raineth on the just,
And also on the unjust fella.
But chiefly on the just, because
The unjust hath the just's umbrella.

And of course there could be times when he said "YES"!

And far be it for me to allow someone's most closely held beliefs to get involved with reason and logic.

Guess it all depends on which side of the fence one is on - doesn't it? :wink:

"True unbelievers" are unafraid of reason.
I doubt a "true believer" really knows what reason is.

i don't think i'm afraid of reason... just as i'm not afraid of any criticisms of my faith. i can understand why people don't agree with me and i try to get my point across. but truth doesn't scare me. if God doesn't exist after all... big deal! i've led a good life, done some good things and made a purpose out of it. if God does exist, then i've lived my life being obedient to him and i'll go to heaven. it's a win-win situation.

HI,

Id just like to ask a quick question,

How can a man (preist forgive your sins?)

If i was a theif, murderer, rapist etc. and I decided to do my eveil deeds Monday through until Friday, then went to confession and was forgiven, then went back and carried on doing evil, could I still go back and repent again and agin and be absolved from my crimes?

Thanks
