quote: We dont care if you are black/white/yellow/man/woman/homosexual/victim/murderer/liar/thief/muslim/christian/buddist/etc.
I don't think that the encompassing of homosexuality along with thieves is a good one. Not to mention murderer. And if you really do what you claim, you are lumping some undesirable element that should be put to rest along with other people that lead their lives within an ethical point of reference.
quote: We do not judge. We love. If you are cold, we will give you our coats. If you are hungry, we will feed you.
I'd do the same. It's not sine qua non to be a xian to be a good sort.
quote: If you steal from us, we will ask you what else you would like to take. If you kill our loved ones, we will forgive you.
I would have to wait until something as horrible as what you descrobe actually happens to ypu (hopefully never) to see the animal in you bypass the rational belief.
quote: If you kill us, we ask that you be forgiven.
If you afer dead how can you ask anything. And if you could ask for something wouldn't it be better to ask to be brought back to life? quote: We are the ones who stop to help, when your car breaks down.
Again, quite normal behaviour without believing in god.
quote: We are the ones who comfort the victim, and the perpetrator.
The perpretrator doesn't need conforting. He needs to pay for his deed under a court of law. The sooner the better.
quote: We are the ones who give up our place in line.
Why?? You got there first and unless there is a specific situation where someone really can't wait (maybe a pregnant woman...), I don't see why I should concede my position to someone who didn't make plans to get there earlier. In fact I see that as a way of patronising sort of. In short, the points you make, some are applicable to non xians, and some are ridiculous in my view. Cheers. -------------------- Welcome back my friends to the show that never ends.

How can you tell if someone's Jewish just from seeing their words? Once again, I have no idea what you're talking about, Joe.You know that Memo and Info have had some problems before. I just hope, since Jim's been nice enough to let Info back in here, that he'll drop the sarcasm and bitterness and quit judging people. I won't be communicating with him until I know what his intentions are. (So don't talk to me - I won't reply) I really don't think a thread that has upset him so much is the place he should be hanging out at anyway. I really don't understand why he wants to post in here. His opinion of most of us has been made very clear in the past. There is still some bitterness in his tone, and I surely hope he's not here to cause trouble. Just so you know....this thread is not about your opinion of others! It's about comparing what we think is proof of existence or non-existence of a creator, the science and philosphy behind the idea. Refrain from derogatory comments about our character traits. Instead, concentrate on analyzing the traits of these very different groups of society. We do not need to know why you are pissed off at someone, or don't want to talk to them anymore. Keep your petty problems to yourselves and use email if you absolutely must discuss them. This thread has remained very civil and educated. I hope we all want to keep it that way. It's the only way it can continue. Cheers -------------------- Can't we all just smoke a bong? My Specs

We mourn with God, when the children and innocents, die. God cannot interfere. God has given us free will. To interfere, removes free will. Jesus, nailed to His wooden tower, is a receipt, that declares, Paid In Full. We accept the sacrifice. We are the fishers of men. We are the children of God. As are we all. Be well. V.
"""Lets start with everybodys' favorite topic: Homosexuality !!!
Leviticus 18:22 "Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination" Leviticus 20:13 "If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them." Now, how is that for all the kindness, caring, and love hype we heard from AdamBomb?!?! And these passages come from within the first 5 books from the old testament, or torah for hebrews, known as the "Law". This pertains to christians, jews, and muslims. So what are you people waiting for? Memo's San Francisco will be a virtual killing fields. Or have the inhabitants of the good herd evolved to disregard moses's written laws?!?!? Imagine that(sarcasm) !""" Dont care about sexual preference, skin color, socio-economic background!?!?!? Yeah right, maybe Joe believes that one! lololol And so I ask again, what are you going to do with 1.3 billion Chinese, 1 billion Indians, .5 billion former Soviet Bloc, natives, and all other non-believers that make christianity the pathetic minority it is???? And what is to become of hebrews and muslims?!?! Infidels !!!! lololo
jesus, of whom not a single person has yet to even attempt to PROVE that some person named jesus even existed in world history, was a jew. If one really studies the historical and physical evidence, christianity is just plain ridiculous !!!

Yeah, we haven't had a good burning or stoning in ages. Why not? The bible says to kill these people who commit any acts of perversion. Why isn't there more murder by stone or burning at the stake? Maybe because it's just plain wrong? Why would such a forgiving god ask us to kill people, and innocent animals who fall victim to beastiality? I mean, what did the animal do wrong? It just doesn't make sense....

Feel free to roast me...or send me threatning E-Mails...pretenders WILL do that..Ha-Ha Oh...and just to keep it ON topic...I like Christmas.

All you brawling seppos gone to bed, yet? Good! Clear off, if you're gonna be like that! quote: This thread won't stay on for long if it keeps going in this direction. [memo]
Hmmm. It has occurred to me that the closure of this thread is EXACTLY what some who bitch and spit are after! But that would be a victory for the supression of free speech. We're probably not the only ones (down under) who look to the U.S. as the champions of freedom. Perhaps this is misplaced. It seems freedom is constantly under threat, even within - nay, ESPECIALLY within - your own boundaries.
What have I been missing out on, anyway? All those deleted posts! Sounded really interesting, too! Tchaa! quote: I would like this opertunity to pimp Real Lamb stakes. They are real cheap... [Brydon]
I'll bet they are! No way, mate! Wouldn't touch 'em - even with YOUR set of chompers!! Heard all about that Mad Lamb bizzo ya got goin' over there!! Back to free (or not) speech...
I know, as a relatively new member, I risk being accused of having no right to speak in the manner I'm about to. Feel free to poke fun at me, if you like - we can then all have a laugh (and I'm conceited enough for it to be like water off a duck's back - actually that's not quite true - I USED to be conceited ...but now I'm perfect). But please don't flame me as my intentions are good (and yes, yes, I know, the road to hell is paved with 'em - I've been there - and back, thanks!).
So, just what rights DO any of us have on this board? I submit we have NO inherent "rights", as such - we have "privileges" - something GRANTED us by another. A privilege can be just as easily taken away (a right cannot).
It's been pointed out in several places now that the privileges granted us on this board include the free discussion of ideas - they do not extend to personal attacks. Complain as much as you like, but if you've abused a privilege and lost it, you've only yourself to blame.
Should this thread be closed (again) then I would feel I'd lost a privilege through someone ELSE's abuse of that same privilege. I would have good reason to be annoyed.
But how to get this thread back on an even keel? Well, I've been examining at which points in the discussion personal vitriol has appeared. There is an all-too obvious pattern to it. Apparently, there are subjects which are considered by some to be taboo. Race and sexuality are two such hot topics.
Apparently, it's OK to actively discriminate, vilify, slander, etc. (which goes against the teachings from the very same source purported to support such evil, I might add) - but NOT OK to discuss the same (how dare we!). It's do-able, but unmentionable! Apparently.
Course, I have to be careful, here - I've already broken down and confessed about once slanging off at "poofs". But now that I've managed to shed my homophobia, I feel oh-so superior and smug 'n all that. Seeing as I now hold such high moral ground, I feel I can continue (looking for an "instant gremlin" with haughty expression, nose in air - couldn't find one - imagine one...here).
As for racial discrimination, well, I've never really experienced that particular kind of mob hysteria - so, I just don't know what it's all about, frankly. Sure, the italian/greek kids I went to school with were labelled "wogs" (who, in return, labelled us "skips" - from "Skippy, the Bush Kangaroo"). But it never got real nasty - more like calling someone big-nose, or whatever. Kids are cruel like that!
So, should we just avoid these topics? There's plenty else to discuss - stuff that won't generate so much heat. Here's my vote (for what it's worth)...
If the TV channel you are watching is showing something you don't like - change the channel - switch it off - go and do something else - whatever. You have that right. But do NOT presume the right to control others in what THEY choose to watch! You simply do not HAVE that right. How dare you presume so!!
So there!

Surely this wasn't an OT comment about my board. LOL I've come to see the comments in this thread, no other reason. Things are getting out of hand here a bit it seems. I see nothing wrong with me visiting tweakfiles, as I do. Jim said feel free to Join in, but no taking shots at anyone anymore. Well I have not, and will not. Of course we don't bother with topics of god, or foul language. Hmm, maybe that's the draw here? Or maybe it's to see the show, gotta see the show, gotta see the show.
I have found this thread very entertaining, as I am sure others have also. Not for the subject, but for the comments that continually posted, that have absolutely nothing to do with god.

I am chuddds from 3dfiles. To my knowledge that handle has never been used by anyone except myself. When I first arrived a couple years ago, I was chud, then chudds, and now chuddds ! The name is derived from the movie C.H.U.D ( Canabalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller ) ! Quite appropriate, wouldnt you agree ?!?!? LOL
joe, Im sorry to here you have an inferiority complex on my behalf. It is not warranted. Im really just a regular " JOE ", I had to get that one in ! LOL Dont give up so easy ! I really dont remember any "long talks" with you. I do remeber one time you threatned to kill Tim, and so I made a reference to drinking and IRA. And because you are Irish, you assumed I was playing on the age old references to irish alcoholism and the Irish Republican Army. When really I was just talking about my drunk accountant who screwed me in my Idividual Retirement Accounts. lololol I then later explained this to you and Im guessing then u dropped your threats to take legal action against Tim and the chuddds !!! BWAAHHAAHAAAHAA !!! Something along the lines of racial discrimination. BWAAAAHHAAAAHHHAAAHAAAAA !!! joe, for that reason alone, you are my hero !
That had to be one of my most entertaining episodes online, and I will forever be in your comedic debt !!!! Thanx again. As for your other replies that you deleted, can you please repost them ? I really would like to read them. Especially if they concern religion. I dont care if they are threatning, that just makes them all the more entertaining !!! BTW,BTW, there is "NO talking to me", if you dont know what the hell you are talking about. Im fairly well versed in many types of scripture, and since I have seen the great beyond, slamming the AmWay of religions(christianity) is fairly simple and enjoyable. The president of AmWay, the pope, has the marketing machine of catholicism in high gear. And in all of the most uneducated, corrupt, and poor countries of the world. Those countries have the ideal target market for spreading the lies and passing the collection plate. The vatican truly is a cross between the mob, AmWay, and Jeffery Dahmer !!! BTW, How many choir boys does it take before the vatican reversuses that criminally stupid requirement of celibacy upon its' priests ?!?!? Priest used to be able to marry. Until they do, buy stock in Johnson&Johnson, the makers of KY Jelly !!!!! lol
And what is wrong with a female priest ??? or pope for that matter ???
