For a while, until he gets exposed then he's nowhere to be found for a month until he's back with another moan. His favourite tactic is to complain about the meaness of spirit of some people completely ignoring the fact that he's the chief offender in that department. This holier than thou attitude he effects is so bogus. I'm not fooled. But yeah bad form comparing anyone to N8- he's a whole other league of stupid.Silver said:Geez vb, tell us what you really think

I'll thank you not to assume to know what I think of anyone. I respect peoples opinions and their right to have them even if I might vehemently disagree with them.valve bouncer said:
As for disapearing for a month....had you taken time to ask Id have told you that my career requires business travel during which I have little time for this sort of thing. The last trip was 2.5 months.
You aren't fooled......because you know me right? Again, don't assume, you know the rest.valve bouncer said:
As for the N8 comment....thanks for strengthening my point about this groups failure to respect other peoples values and beliefs. While I think that N8 often intentionaly makes comments with no purpose other than to tick people off I dont think the man is stupid. Lonely perhaps
I may have told someone they are misguided, misinformed or have been misled but I don't recall calling anyone here stupid.
Worst and yet somehow at the same time best thread ever.....
I'd have to say that I don't feel you respect me or my views, oddly enough that perception deos not engender a geat deal of respect for you from me.Damn True said:
I respect people's right to belief in their particular religion (amongst other things), so long as they respect my right not to believe the same. Sadly some people see their mission as being to force their beliefs on others.
Bollocks, you have more contempt for a wider range of people on this board than any of the frothers. It's convenient how your business trips seem to occur whenever you get chased into a corner.Damn True said:
While I disagree with your assertions, from a Biblical point if view - if your interested in this subject I would suggest the book: The Fingerprints of God: Tracking the Divine Suspect Through a History of Images by Robert Fararr Capon.Jr_Bullit said:so...what if God's original design had "sin" included in it? He did after all create Lucifer as well...
Thinking that you are wrong does not mean I don't respect your opinion. Again, don't pretend to know what I think of anyone.valve bouncer said:Bollocks, you have more contempt for a wider range of people on this board than any of the frothers.

i wonder if this same thinly-veiled contempt is held for brian welch?...or dave pheonix of linkin park?
i bet the beastie boys get a pass for being buddhist-like.

I fear for people who exchange drug addiction for religious fervour. It is as though they need something external to support them. They often become the most rabid of religious frothers.$tinkle said:

okay - adding it to next month's wish list..
I can. What I fear is that they are so passionate that they could lose the faith as quickly as they gained it; it is almost fad-like. More reflective and thoughtful Christians seem more likely to retain their faith through thick and thin.Damn True said:
Well if it's a temporary crutch that gets them off of drugs it beats staying on 'em.fluff said:
That's a fair point. Some people do seem to lurch from one crutch to another, but as crutches go it's not a bad one. Better than joining the Republican Party though...Damn True said:

Yeah it reminds me of how the PD forum was when I was just but a wee monkey.......back in "the day". I'm glad it perked up this week though.Jr_Bullit said:
I'm not promising I'll answer your question, but may I ask what was your question?BuddhaRoadkill said:
I think the salvation as attack part is fairly rhetorical ... I'm bad, need saving, yada yada. [If I'm wrong, please correct]BuddhaRoadkill said:I'm still not seeing how this is not an attack. Why do I need salvation?
If I don't see things your way, I am doomed to eternal damnation ... gee, that's so loving and tolerant.
I'm still chewing on what Andyman said about original sin but I'm not having much luck getting over this salvation issue. It seems pretty cut and dry. If I don't accept Jesus Christ as my lord and savior, I will be punished. True or False? If I'm not pondscum, then why do I need salvation? For that matter, what is salvation anyway?
[Thanks for the insight Andyman, I'm not trying to be an ass - honest
BUT ... Not having any real depth of knowledge about Christianity, I'm curious as to what salvation actual is and why it is needed. From what I understand, you can be a blood thirsty, axe murdering, child molesting, old lady robbing, thug daddyliscious ... but if at that very moment before death ... you honestly accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, you get some kind of nifty door prize. But that's just heresy, or here say, or something like that. I'm also curious as to when the "salvation" idea first appeared on the scene. Was Jesus actually running around saving people? Or did it show up 1200 years later? The historical is always interesting.
On the flipside. I'm wondering what happens to really cool people who live by their heart and conscience ... but don't do this Jesus as Savior thing? Do they get skewered and hung in the forest ... or does big man see the obvious - good person, tried hard, pass go, collect $200.
I guess this is a long winded way of wondering what the whole point of salvation is. [as well as the literal/historical question]
Again, not trying to be ass .. just honest ignant foolio questions.
Id actually prefer the bashing to continue. If this place gets all PC where you cant offend anyone it'd be too gay to even visit.
I thought it was and you don't?BurlyShirley said:
