Religion: Real or Fake

[Zoetstofzoetje]

Let me take this opportunity to promote Pastafarianism. I'm a big supporter.

Raviolianism

Credibility in whose eyes? And what was the last post in this thread that you replied to with a serious, considered response? As opposed to some permutation of "Holy crap, it is so ironic that you would say something like that. I am laughing, that is how ironic it is. Because it's so ironic, it's funny. And it's ironic because you're stupid. And you don't know you're stupid, because you're stupid. It's that funny. Also, you're immoral."

That's pretty much the formula for 90% of the posts you've made in this thread. You don't reply to the content of a post or engage the people you're talking with, you just type the equivalent of an annoying, self-satisfied grin. If there were a :smuglittledouche: smiley you wouldn't bother with text at all.

This is slander. And I'm asking you to stop. They aren't making real arguments, so I'm not pandering to them. Please stop.

[Elok]

If they're not making real arguments, and you're not making real arguments, why is the argument continuing?

I am making real arguments. If you don't like them then argue against them. If you don't think that I am then why don't you buzz off.

[Elok]

Condescending dismissals =/= real arguments. And if you were just being that way about secular matters, like sports or politics, I'd be glad to buzz off. God is a different matter. Don't go dragging Him down to that level.

As a matter of fact you're acting stupid too. And you're slandering me.

Kid, please desist. You are not helping the case of Christians and are acting arrogant, prideful, and unChristian.

Why should I help Elok's case or your case for that matter? Huh????? Doesn't everyone have the right to present their own beliefs?

As far as pride and arrogance is concerned look in the mirror. You will see a log in your eye.

[Kidlicious]

Don't tell me that I don't present real arguments Elok. Stop slandering me!

Look Ming. Read the Bible.

The Parable of The Unmerciful Servant. Matthew 18: 21-35

21 Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother or sister who sins against me? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.[g]

23 “Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. 24 As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand bags of gold[h] was brought to him. 25 Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

26 “At this the servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ 27 The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

28 “But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred silver coins.[i] He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

29 “His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay it back.’

30 “But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. 31 When the other servants saw what had happened, they were outraged and went and told their master everything that had happened.

32 “Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. 33 Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ 34 In anger his master handed him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

35 “This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother or sister from your heart.”

Of course there was no real response to this, just a bunch of crap. But so be it. That speaks unto itself. If you don't like it, too bad!

Also, look at post # 1154

To be fair, those are actual responses. But they're the exception in this thread, not the rule. Like I said, 90%. Okay, maybe 80, I haven't crunched numbers on all 42 pages, but the point is, an excessive number of your posts are simply dismissive, if not vicious. It's understandable if you lose your temper a little, but there are whole pages where you just roll your eyes. C'mon, now.

Well Elok I dismiss things people say when it's obvious to me that the're just puposefully acting stupid. I suppose you don't think you do that?

At any rate, I don't care if there are 50 people who purposefully act stupid or if there are 51 of them. 51 won't make me lose my temper any more than 50 of them would. I don't lose my temper. There are good reasons for telling people they are being stupid or arrogant or whatever when they are purposefully doing it. And it seems to me that you are purposefully acting stupid.

Also, I don't know why BK doesn't post anymore. It's hard to believe that someone would stop posting just because of people's opinions of them. Maybe that is the case, but it won't be for me. I get a kick out of this place, and when you act the way you're acting right now it just gives me a big thrill. Thanks Elok

Actually, I don't know that we drove him away, it's rumored that he's partying with DF still. In any case, if continuing to act rude after someone tells you you're being rude is how you get your rocks off...more power to ya, I guess.

Coming from the person who is acting stupid and arrogant... HAHAHAHAHHAHAAHHAAHAHAHA

Your typical response to everybody is along the lines of "I'm better than you"... and "your beliefs suck"... "mine are the only proper beliefs"... and most of what you post is simply garbage, insults, and stupid ideas.

People continue to view this thread just as they would a car wreck... to simply see just how more stupid you can look.

So answer this... How can you even claim to be a good christian when all you do is insult people. Do you consider insulting people, looking down on them, and judging them, to be the act of a good christian... This is something you have never answered. All you do is continue to insult people.
