      Holy christ. If you can't understand it, then it must be wrong ????? Have you ever considered that it might be you that doesn't have the mental capacity to understand the message ????
      With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

        Possible, but given the Engrish construction your suboptimal skills with my language seemed a more likely culprit. Plus, I know you. You're not Dorothy Parker.

          This is what Al couldn't understand :

          Oh, you say that you are religious based, but really doesn't mean it for serious ?
          and what Elok claims is some kind of gibberish that no english speaker can understand.

            Elok's not exactly wrong.
            "The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

              No offense, but I'm pretty sure that your suboptimal knowledge of your own language is the real culprit.

              I don't know Dorothy Parker, but will take a look.

                "for serious" is not an English phrase.

                  Haven't in any way claimed that I'm perfect in engrish or that I don't make mistakes, but don't say that you didn't understand that line.

                    Well, if you have bothered to read the whole thread I actually said that there was a "for" too much in #11

                      I'm assuming this is what you meant.

                      ACK!

                        Getting back to the OP, I suspect it's due to hallucinogens. Al, have you been eating windowpane again?

                            You're thinking he ate it? That's a good possibility.

                              That tomato paste was just fine. But like I said, I put too much cayenne pepper in it so I had to share it. No casualties so far.

                                As I am quite eager to establish some street cred as a word-nerd I would like to point out that there is no such language as Engrish. The language you are using is called English.
