Self- Immolation

I could give a definition; but I want to see Mindy stew first. :wink:

You've built some intrigue--why not spill some beans?

Welcome to A2K babyruth. Unfortunately it appears that Mindonfire's idea of spilling the beans is nothing more than passing gas.

Hey, thanks for the welcome. I get the feeling from reading through these threads that Mindonfire is a big tease. He/she seems to like to build up the suspense and then not tell whatever it is that he/she knows, even though people ask to hear it. Now how nice is that, I ask you? I'm a sucker for taking the bait, though--hook, line, and sinker, and I'll follow it until the whole story comes out because I want to hear it. I like beans, especially BBQ beans, along with a nice BBQ sandwich and some potato salad. Unfortunately, though, there would be gas passing along with that. But hey, you brought up the subject . . . (yeah, blame mesquite--that's the ticket!)

Actually, a good start has been made Here. But, I would like to see you wiggle in or out of this first.

HA!! I was right. MOF can't stand the heat.

"We are the heat"??

I don't suppose you're going to explain what that means. . . just like you don't explain anything.

You're like a great magician who won't do any tricks.

You're all "talk".

You put forth no arguments. . . nothing. I've read your posts on other sites, too. You have nothing to say, except "LOL! We know more than you know!"

Really? Then provide some information. At least provide a link to some information that you agree with. Will you? Can you? I have been extremely patient, as I'm sure you will agree (I doubt very many others have waited this long).

So, what do you believe? Are you a member of some organized religion? Do you read the Bible as mythology, or do you take it literally? What do you think about anything, besides "LOL!"?

. . . The Bible exists in many dimensions. It is both myth and literal.

This is a debate forum. Eberyone here is all talk.

You need to examine again. We argued that everyone is religious. No one wanted to listen.

Patience is a virtue. Every great cook must be patient. Those that are not patient fall into great trouble. You should have learned that by now. Look at Iraq.

If myth, It cannot be relied on to provide spiritual guidance. If you meant to say it is partly symbolic, that would be another matter; but you didn't say that, did you?

Yes, every belief system operates on some degree of faith. "Religion" is used to refer to those belief systems that promote reliance on non-reasoned faith.

Patience may be a virtue, but waiting in vain is dumb.

What is "non-reasoned" faith? Do you think that groups of people are just doing things without reason?

LOL! You do not wait in vain. You will see eventually.

No, it is both.

"Non-reasoned" is the politically correct way to say "fear-inspired".

Then, I pity you.
