Your missing the point-They own it Mark, They can do what they will with

it. If you dont like it-dont subscribe Mark-Frankly, I really dont care.

You have the choice to subscribe to it-and you have the choice not to. Be
happy Mark, you have a freewill! You are able to enjoy what you will, and
the right to do as you please. 


MH> For one thing, AOL isn't at all worth subscribing to in the

and

MH> an individual. As long as I abide by the law, they can't touch me.

Your talking like your on trial here Mark. In case you dont know, I am not
your judge. Take this for an example- Look at bbs's, there are some that
have strict guidlines-ex. No swearing, No Handles, No Pirate Warze. And
then
you have bbs's that have swearing all over the place, Handles for every
user and pirated software as a files base. If you call a "clean bbs" What
are you gonna do, tell the sysop you want handles, swearing and pirate warze
on it so you can make a choice on what you read and download? No, you 
wouldnt. You would have to call a bourd that has all the "dirt" on it to
find that and then, you could make your choice on what you deem as moral.
If you dont like a certain bbs, dont call it. Or start your own and configure
it to your standard of ethics.

SW> Surprized you didnt petition to your sysop to remove
SW> Holy Smoke from the  message area-after all Larry, there
SW> are Christians on it...
MH> 
MH> Smarten up, Steve. The two are incomparable. You can speak 
MH> your mind here; you can't, on AOL. Is that clarified enough for 
MH> you?
MH> 
SW> Calm down killer, I was making a point. But even on these message
SW> echo's, one cant just do or say whatever they like. Most of them have
SW> strict  guidlines that the mediator invokes to moderate his echo. If
SW> one doesnt like it, then they can switch to another echo or....start
SW> there own... 
MH> 
MH> You weren't making a point, you were being an ass. You still are,
MH> for that matter. "You can't say or do whatever you like." Watch me!

MH> Look, I'm jumping up and down, Steve. Stop me! I like it fine, and 
MH> there's nothing you can do to stop me, Hitler-boy.

"hitler boy"? I seriously doubt that one. And you know full well what I

was saying and you also know I was right. If Styx decided one day not
to allow lets say swearing in here-thats his right. And he could bounce,
whoever he wanted off his echo. He owns it-he moderates it. Your whining
about wouldnt change that. 

MH> What's that, Steve? "Then they can switch to another echo or ... 
MH> start their own." Wow! That almost sounds like a judgement call, 
MH> something you were implying we're incapable of making. After all, if

MH> we were capable of making those, why would we need FOF to make them

MH> for us? Golly, I think you're full of shit. You hypocrite!

I real dont care what you think Mark, Im not trying to gain your respect.
Again, your under the misguided notion that im trying to put you on trial,
which is wrong. Like I said, Im not your judge Mark. Even on footnote, I

preached freewill. If your too stiffnecked to see that then thats your
sorry problem. I believe in rights and freedoms guy. And if AOL chooses
to be a Christian online service, guess what Mark...."Thats their right!"

Godbless!

Steve

You're the one who needs wisdom, fundy.

This is good.Now maybe my parents won't make me go.
Of course, if the christians had their way, EVERYONE would be nice
bible reading, church going, decent folk and 'blasphemous' books
by 'Nietzsche',  'Lovecraft', 'Rand', 'Crowley', and others would

JS> (Rom 9:19 NIV)  One of you will say to me: "Then why does God still
JS> blame us? For who resists his will?"

JS> (Rom 9:20 NIV)  But who are you, O man, to talk back to God? "Shall
JS> what is formed say to him who formed it, 'Why did you make me like
JS> this?'"

LC> Yes this one shall say that! The above is a cop out!

JS> A cop out for whom?

Paul.It set's it up nice so he doesn't have to answer any hard
philosophical questions about Pre-Destination vs. Free Will.


LC> I question
LC> him.If he has any comments, he knows where to find me.

JS> Sounds like it is starting to get personal, Luke...

Hey, he know's where I am.If he has anything to say, I'm listening.
He supposedly bashed a guy of a horse and caused faith in him,
so why not a teenager in Baltimore?



JS> I used to, Luke...soem dude by the name of 'the red rooster' (a
JS> protege of Bobby the brain) used win his matches with a hold he called
JS> the 'chicken wing'.

LC> The Red Rooster? That was one of the more dim-witted gimicks the
LC> WWF had.I was referring to the move Bob Backlund will put on you
LC> if don't call him "Mister Backlund".

JS> Oh...like MISTER Backlund? Does he have the dude stand on a Milk Crate
JS> [TM]?

He,he,he... well, no...

JS> (1 Cor 15:22 NIV)  For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be
JS> made alive.

JS> (Psa 51:5 NIV)  Surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my
JS> mother conceived me.

JS> King David speaking on this last one...a man the Bible calls 'a man
JS> after God's own heart'. The dude knows what he is talking about.

LC> How where they sinful.I want a reason, not mindless repitition.

JS> When you say 'mindless repetition' it starts to sound personal, Luke.

I'm just making an observation.Does not the Lord want you to be wise
as serpents? (Which has some interesting possibilities considering 
the apparent Serpent/Satan correspondence).You don't really say to much
that I haven't heard before.If you want Christianity to last, it needs
to start being original.Not neccesarily changing the bible, but
changing it's preaching tactics.

LC> How is a child responsible for the sin of Adam.Isn't sin a
LC> choice?

JS> Our 'original sin' in Adam is no choice for us. It was one for him,
JS> but in making his choice, he made it for all who were to come after
JS> him. A child is responsible for the sin of Adam because God said
JS> he/she is. He does make the rules, ya know...:)

Doesn't that violate Old Testament codes about the son not being
responsible for the sins of his father, nor the father being responsible
for the sins of his son (I believe it's in Deuteronomy)?

JS> No claim is made that this is going to satisfy man's logic or sense
of
JS> justice. It doesn't have to. God's logic and justice are beyond
JS> question.

LC> For you.That's a slave mentality, that won't question his master.

JS> When you say 'slave mentality' it sounds like it is getting personal,
JS> Luke. In any event, the questions were there once, and then answered
JS> when that scripture was read.

The trouble is, I've pretty much done the vestiges of the Christian
paradigm from with in me.I can't believe blindly.

LC> How did they sin?

JS> By impution through their father, Adam.

LC> I'm sure Hitler used a similar rationalization to justify the
LC> Holocaust.

JS> I neither know nor care how that heinous individual rationalized his
JS> sorry actions. That is of no concern to me. I cannot do any thing
JS> about that. It is history. I can only do what I can to prevent it from
JS> happening in my town, in my lifetime.

That's a good approach to take.I try not to get caught up in revenge
and the like either.

JS> If the latter, the parents must carry full brunt of that one because
JS> if they had believed, then the infants would have been saved as well.

Where does it say that in the bible? How do you define 'the full brunt'?
I thought Hell was a pit of fire where all were tortured indescriminately?
Anyway, it does not speak well of your God if he's going to toss
little infants into the Lake of Fire.


LC> Your god didn't seem to care.All he seemed to care about what was
LC> vengeance, regardless of who he hurt.

JS> Not necessarily vengeance as you may think of it but rather justice:
JS> These are the rules, you break 'em, this is the punishment. 

But how were the children aware of the rules? If child breaks certain rules,
do you punish them the same as an adult? It seems like your trying to
de-personalize god into a kind of force that just 'is'.

Everybody
JS> breaks the rules by nature. I have provided a way out. If you do not
JS> take it, the punishment stands.

In this country if there is a rule that everyone breaks, we get rid
of the offending rule.That's called democracy.But the bible doesn't
support democracy, does it? Heck, it might be construed to support
communism.


JS> It was perfect in that it had no sin. Adam made a choice. That choice
JS> affected the entire universe and everything in it.

LC> You agree sin is a choice.How could the babies make that choice?

JS> Adam had the choice in regard to this 'original sin' thing. We have
no
JS> choice about that. Everybody is afficted, like it or not.

Why did god allow that to happen, knowing that little babies would
be sent to hell? 

LC> (This is interesting, as it applies to the Fundamentalist Pro-Life
LC> agenda)

JS> In what manner? (I have thoughts on this, but I would like to hear
JS> yours as well)

Damn this fido lag, I forgot.Hold on.
I was thinking that if being killed before you grew beyond infancy
was a ticket to heaven, you'd think Fundamentalist Christianity would
be fully in support of it.Also, what if somebody has an abortion, but
repents and is saved? Who carries the brunt of the death of that being
then?

Not completely correct.Asmodeus is not hebrew, he's persian.
He's mentioned in the Talmud as well as certain Apocryphal books.
He's not neccesarilly a Demon, in the sense that he's a fallen
angel, but is the leader of a race of independant spirits (Similar
to the Djinn of Islam), that have a choice of accepting the Torah
or not.

A Verdict That Defies the "Evidence"

By Bernard Katz

Copyright 1982 by The American Rationalist

The fundamentalist Christians have once again resurrected
themselves. like their Savior, to attack evolution and science,
sexuality and permissiveness. and whatever else they deem that
does not square with their viewpoint. To propagandise their
beliefs, they have built a vast communications network which
includes books, pamphlets, magazines, newspapers, and radio and
television stations, as well as the most sophisticated techniques
for collecting the necessary money to fuel these apologetic arms.

One of the many books used to buttress their Christian
apologetics is a compilation by Josh McDowell. His first volume
is titled Evidence that Demands a Verdict, published by the
Campus Crusade for Christ in 1972. Since it had gone through
fourteen printings by 1977 alone, it is important that its
"evidence" or arguments be closely analysed. I shall scrutinize
parts of chapter 11, "Prophecy Fulfilled in History," pages
277-333. This deals with the whole idea of prophecy as well as
how twelve specific ones were actually fulfilled and for this
reason constitute "one of the great proofs that there is a living
God behind the Bible and history" (p. VIII).

To McDowell, a "prophet is someone who tells God's will and the
future to the people as divine inspiration leads" (p. 278). It
follows that the fulfilling of these prophecies "is not only a
demonstration of God's power, but also of His answer to man's
prayers and needs" (p. 279).

Under the section on "Tests of a Prophet" (pp. 279-80), McDowell,
in interpreting chapter 13 in Deuteronomy, concludes: "If a
prophet presented fulfilled predictive prophecy, yet claimed a
theology out of keeping with the norm set down by Moses, the
people had a false prophet" (p. 280). This statement alone, I
should think, is enough to condemn the Christian religion
outright, for there is much in the books of Moses which
contravenes Christian theology. That is the reason why the
crucifixion of Jesus on the cross was such a scandal (Galatians
3:13). For the Mosaic law laid down in Deut. 21:22-3 declares:
"And if a man committed a crime punishable by death and he is put
to death, and you hang him on a tree... for a hanged man is
accursed by God.. ." Not only did Paul have to gather all of his
powers of sophistry to twist the ignomy of Jesus' death on a
cross (or tree) from one of great embarrassment to one of a
positive good, but Christians today are still struggling with
this thorny problem.

One of the many dishonest techniques McDowell uses are sins of
omission." This is what I mean. He has just told us that the test
of a true prophet is found in Deuteronomy 13. But he doesn't tell
you to read further on, especially Deut. 18:21-22. For here is
another test to distinguish the true prophet from the false. To
the question "How do we know the word which the Lord has not
spoken?" the Scripture answers: 'when a prophet speaks in the
name of the Lord, if the word does not come to pass or come true,
that is a word which the Lord has not spoken; the prophet has
spoken it presumptuously, you need not be afraid of him." And
just two verses before this, we find that the punishment for such
presumptuousness is: ". . . that same prophet shall die." Since
it can be proven that many of Jesus' prophecies were not
fulfilled, and I shall do so later on with one of them, then it
follows that Jesus was rightfully executed. 

In his next section, McDowell tries to anticipate a major
objection by critics of predictive prophecy. He says: "As far as
the question of dating prophecies goes, many people will attack
predictive prophecy from the standpoint of post-dating, that is
placing the prophecy after the event of the fulfillment rather
than before. Unfortunately for the critic, these prophets make
their prophecies very clear-the tenses are very obvious" (p.
280-1).

Unfortunately for McDowell, the dates he accepts for the various
prophetic books don't all hold up. For example, he dates the book
of Daniel at 605-538 BC (p. 281). This is clearly false according
to the prestigious Hasting's Dictionary of the Bible, edited by
James Hastings and revised by two top Protestant scholars H. H.
Rowley and F. C. Grant.

In the article on the book of Daniel, p. 200, we discover:"...
The relations between Syria and Egypt, from the 4th to the 2nd
centuries BC are described with a fulness of detail. . . the
events from 323 to 175 BC occupy 16 versus; those from 175 to 164
BC take up 25; at verse 34 the lines become less definite,
because this is the point at which the book was written; at verse
40 prediction begins, and the language no longer corresponds with
the facts of history. There can be little doubt that Daniel
appeared about 164 BC"

Further on in the article we are told that: "The theological
features are what might be expected in the 2nd century BC"

So much for McDowell's uncritical acceptance of the date of
605-538 BC for the book of Daniel and his concluding assurance
that the Bible contains no post-dated prophecies!

Or take the date McDowell says the Jews who lived in Egypt
translated the Bible into Greek and his conclusions regarding the
prophetic books based on that date: "All of the Old Testament
prophets were translated into Greek in the Greek Septuagint by
about 280 BC Therefore, we can assume that all of the prophets
(including Joel and Obadiah) were written before this time" (p.
281). This is simply not so according to another highly reputable
source, the Abingdon Bible Commentary, edited by F. C. Eiselin,
E. Lewis, and D. G. Downey. In the chapter "The Transmission of
the Old Testament," pp. 103-4, we are given this information
about the Septuagint: "The books were translated at different
times by men unequally prepared for the task, the whole process
extending over a period of approximately two hundred years, from
about 250 to 50 BC" Notice that where McDowell says that the
cut-off date for the Greek translation is about 280 BC, Professor
I. M. Price, author of the Abingdon article, tells us that that
is when the translations were actually started!

In regard to the dating of Ezekiel, which has been the subject of
much controversy, McDowell uses as a witness the famous
archeologist W. F. Albright who, according to McDowell, stated
this in his The Old Testament and Archeology:".. this critical
attitude [i.e., to the dating of Ezekiel] is not justified in the
least, and to his way of thinking [i.e., Albright's], there seems
to be every reason for going back to a more conservative
attitude."

This statement, unfortunately for McDowell' a case, is
contradicted by the very same Albright, who says in his From the
Stone Age to Christianity, p. 326: .... . it is clear, however,
that the manuscript tradition [i.e., of Ezekiel] must have been
very corrupt, since the present massoretic text is full of
doublets and conflate readings, many of which were not yet
incorporated in the recension used by the Greek translators of
the second century BC" Since McDowell places the book of Ezekiel
at 592-570 BC, we have caught this apologist through his own
witness! 

That last major criticism regarding McDowell's assumptions
concerns his statement which has already been quoted but bears
repetition because of its importance: "Unfortunately for the
critic, these prophets make their prophecies very clear- the
tenses are very obvious" (underlining mine).

But, as the following citation will show, this is not true. One
of the specific predictions taken up by McDowell to prove his
case is that of the prophet Nahum's prophecy about the
destruction of Nineveh. Here is what Hastings' Dictionary of the
Bible says on page 686 in its article on Nahum:

"Did Nahum prophecy before, during, or after the faIl of
Nineveh? Did he predict its fall, or only describe it after
the event? Scholars are divided on the answer to these
questions. Some of the verses use the Hebrew imperfect, and
seem to point to the future, such as 2:13; 3:5-7, 11, 15.
Other verses are so vivid and realistic in their description
of the attack on the city and its downfall that they appear
to have been written after Nineveh's capture, such as 2:1,
3-10; 3:1-4, 12 f., 18 f. Under the principles of Hebrew
syntax, the imperfect verbs may be translated by the English
present tense. It is to be considered as possible that Nahum
began to write, or to proclaim his message orally, before or
during the siege of Nineveh and completed it after the
successful capture. The last two verses.. appear to look
backward rather than forward" (underlining mine).

I believe this citation refutes McDowell's claim that "the tenses
are very obvious," as well as his declaration that there are no
post-datings in the writings of the prophets!

It should also be brought to the reader's attention that McDowell
has committed another "sin of omission" in his presentation of
the destruction of Nineveh, and that is that such a prophecy was
revoked in the book of Jonah. Here we find Jonah complaining to
God because God had destroyed the plant which was shading the
prophet. So God rebuked Jonah saying: "You have had pity for the
gourd, for which you have not labored nor made it grow, which
came up in a night, and perished in a night; and should not I
have pity on Nineveh, that great city..." (Jonah 4:10-11).

That the prediction of Nahum was annulled by the later book of
Jonah is proven by the dates in which the two books were written.
Nahum's is dated around 612 BC whereas Jonah's falls between 400
and 200 BC By these "sins of omission" McDowell perpetuates the
great evil of dishonesty.

So much for McDowell's prologue. Let's scrutinize some of the
specific prophecies he uses for "Christian evidences." He starts
off with those concerning the ancient city of Tyre because the
prophecies about its destruction are so easily proven. McDowell
refers to chapter 26:8 of Ezekiel which predicts that
"Nebuchadnezzar will destroy the mainland city of Tyre." 

To avoid confusion and to add precision to this prediction, it
should be pointed out that Tyre consisted of a mother-city
located on an island off the east coast of Palestine and a
trading colony situated across from it on the mainland. McDowell
assumes that the prediction applies to that part of Tyre located
on the mainland because on page 281 he says: "The mainland city
of Tyre was destroyed in 573... but the city of Tyre on the
island remained a powerful city for several hundred years." (If
only part of the city were destroyed, how can the prediction be
true?)

But there are two further objections. One is that McDowell has
actually misread the Scripture! The actual biblical passage, and
McDowell gives it correctly on page 285 is: "He (i.e., Yahweh)
will slay,, your daughters on the mainland with a sword... Now
McDowell thinks this refers to the main or "mother" city of Tyre.
But he's got his P's and Q's backwards! The metropolis of Tyre
was actually on the island fortress and the so-called mainland
city was what we would today call a suburb. How do we know?
Because the text tells us so. It says: "He will slay your
daughters on the mainland..." (underlining mine). All ancient
cities which sent out colonies designated them as either "sons"

or "daughters," depending on whether the inhabitants were
kin-folk or simply allies. In this case the Tyranians on the
mainland were allies and so were labelled "daughters." Therefore
the prediction of Ezekiel means the opposite of what McDowell
thinks!

The second objection is much more serious, and is once again due
to McDowell's 'sins of omission." To see that Ezekiel's prophecy
did not come true, all one has to do is to read two chapters
further on, to Ezekiel 29:17-20. Here he will be shocked, if he's
a Christian in the mold as McDowell, to find that Ezekiel admits
that he was wrong in this prediction; that Nebuchadnezzar never
"got anything from Tyre to pay for the labor that he had
performed against it. Therefore says the Lord God... I will give
the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar." In other words, after
Ezekiel admits he was in error, he says that the Lord will
recompense the king of Babylon with Egypt for his troubles
against Tyre! Why doesn't McDowell point this out? Because his
best evidence of a fulfilled prophecy would, naturally, explode
his whole argument. After all, selectivity is the basis of
Christian apologetics!

There is not space to demolish each of McDowell's examples on
which his Christian "evidence" is based. I simply picked his best
shot. Yet I want to investigate briefly one more which I had
earlier promised to do. This deals with a so-called prophetic
fulfillment from the New Testament by Jesus (p. 321).

According to chapter 11 in the gospel according to Matthew, Jesus
(that paragon of loving kindness) pronounced the judgment of
destruction on four cities-Capernaum, Chorazin, Bethsaida, and
Tiberias-for not believing in his gospel.

Now McDowell states: "Three of these cities have perished. Only
the last named is standing today" (p. 321). If Tiberias has never
been destroyed, how could Jesus' prophecy of four cities
destroyed be considered true? Wouldn't you conclude that McDowell
has blown himself up on his own bomb? Now to the remarks
contained in McDowell's conclusion. He states: "What seemed to be
a great blow to the Christian faith, the Moslem invasion of the
Holy Land and the eventual military failure of the Crusades, is
in reality a great victory for the Christian. The Moslems
catalyzed the final sealing of many prophecies. How many
condemned cities in this study alone fell during or directly
because of the Crusades and Moslem invasions? It is rather
ironical that the apparent enemy of Christianity is, after closer
study, the principal pawn used by the Lord to complete his
purpose in the Church Age" (p. 332).

Try convincing a Moslem with that kind of sophistry! Just as the
fall of Jerusalem to the Romans was proof to the newly formed
Christian groups that God had abandoned his people the Jews and
had accepted in their place the "New Israel" of pagans, so the
Moslems interpreted their victories over the Christians as the
ascendency of Allah over the deity of their enemies.

There is another important objection: the predictive prophecies
were not for the far distant future, hundreds of years after the
oracle was proclaimed. If the people addressed by the prophet had
to wait beyond their lifetime for its fulfillment, what good was
such an oracle to them?

Here is what The Abingdon Bible Commentary says in the chapter on
"The Prophetic Literature," page 152: "Though prediction is not
of the essence of prophecy, the prophets were as vitally
interested in the future as they were in the present. . . Their
predictions bore mainly on the immediate future. While in details
they might be vague, and occasion ally mistaken..." (underlining
mine). You must admit that the appraisal given by the Christian
scholars in the Abingdon Commentary are much closer to the truth
than McDowell.

As has been frequently pointed out, McDowell commits "sins of
omission." Some of what McDowelI should have included if he
really were telling the truth can be found in the new and
prestigious Encyclopedia Judaica 's article "Prophets and
Prophecy," vol. 13, p. 1167: "Furthermore, several occasions are
specifically recorded in which an oracle delivered by an
acknowledged true prophet did not materialize in the manner in
which he predicted-even within his own lifetime! Only a few
examples of unfulfilled prophecies need be cited: Jeremiah
predicted an ignominious end for King Jehoiakim (Jer. 22:19); yet
II Kings 24:6 clearly belies this oracle. Ezekiel predicted the
destruction of Tyre by Nebuchadnezzar (26:7-14), but later
acknowledged that the king's siege of the city was unsuccessful
(29:17-20). Both Haggai's (2:21-23) and Zechariah's (4:6-7)
glorious anticipation and designs for Zerubbabel never
materialized."

As you can see, there is no contest between this passage of
intellectual honesty and McDowell's mendacity! His dishonesty
undermines the hard won achievements and credibility of scholars
in his own field and sows confusion and distrust among the
unsophisticated.

The only conclusion, I firmly believe, which one can come to is
that McDowell has based his so-called fulfilled prophecies on
ersatz proofs and that his is "a verdict that defies the
evidence!"

CHRISTIAN COALITION GROSSLY EXAGGERATES ITS MEMBERSHIP;
DUES-PAYING MEMBERS ACTUALLY DROPPED IN 1995, MAGAZINE REPORTS

Ralph Reed, call your office: Over 1.3 million Christian Coalition
members are missing!

According to a report in Church & State magazine, dues-paying Christian
Coalition members are far fewer in number than claimed by the organization,
and the group's membership actually dropped dramatically in 1995. 

The January Church & State reports that paid membership in the Christian
Coalition fell from 353,703 in September 1994 to 310,296 in September 1995.


The watchdog magazine said its information comes from the Christian
Coalition's own publication, the Christian American. The U.S. Postal Service
requires all publications that are mailed at the second-class postage rate
to
publish subscription and sales information each year.    

The Christian American's officially reported circulation figures do not
square with claims made by the Christian Coalition in its press releases
and
other public statements. In those publicity efforts, the organization has
claimed that its membership increased from 1.2 million in 1994 to 1.7 million
in 1995.

The higher figures, however, appear to be bogus. The Christian American
is sent to anyone who contributes as little as $15 a year. If the Christian
Coalition currently has 1.7 million "members," more than 1.3 million have
apparently not paid their dues and are not receiving the organization's
flagship publication.    

Barry W. Lynn, executive director of Americans United for Separation of
Church and State, charged that the Christian Coalition is grossly inflating
its actual membership in order to increase its political influence and appear
to be a growing movement.

"Pat Robertson's Christian Coalition has set a well-established pattern
of deception in many of its activities," said Lynn. "Wildly inflating its
membership figures is just part of that deplorable practice.

"There's no doubt that the Christian Coalition is a powerful force in the
Republican Party and American politics generally," Lynn continued. "But
it has
achieved that power in part by casting aside the truth."

Church & State is the monthly magazine of Americans United for Separation
of Church and State. Founded in 1947, Americans United is a Washington,
D.C.-based organization devoted to the preservation of religious liberty.

FGB> 3.3  Q:   What kind of behavior is alowed here?
FGB> A:   Most anything, including flames.  One thing that will get

FGB> somebody says fuck and you quote them and change 'fuck' to
FGB> 'f***' or some other variation, you will be clobbered.  Check
FGB> the rules (posted on an ad-hoc basis by the moderator) for
FGB> more information.

Unless you name is Rice in which case you have the right to alter posts
to your heart's content without any measure of censure taken against
you.

FGB> 3.4  Q:   Are "flames" allowed?
FGB> A:   Flames are EXPECTED.  You will be treated with respect and
FGB> courtesy if you extend it.

Speak for yourself, machine. This is a lie!

FGB> The most valuable contributors,
FGB> who provide references to what they say, are very seldom
FGB> flamed -- if you don't like flames, stick to posting what you
FGB> know or can validate.

Only don't bother with references from the Bible. Only secular
philosophers will be respected. Theories and outright lies are welcomed
with respect as well, but don't you dare quote scripture if you value
yourself in any way.

FGB> 3.5  Q:   Why is the phrases "You seem bitter" and "My, you're so full
FGB> of anger" so often used by religionists in HolySmoke?
FGB> A:   These phrases are often used as replies to excessively
FGB> abrasive arguments by an agnostic or atheist that has
FGB> demonstrated the religionist's pet assertions false; the
FGB> religionist resorts to eliciting an emotional response
FGB> instead of addressing the topic at hand.

Another outright lie. These phrases are most often used in reply to
repeated personal assaults on the part of bitter atheist/pagans who
have no hope in life and therefore chose to abuse the intellect of
believers.

FGB> A:   You may be missing the point.  The people who are ridiculed
FGB> (as it were) are not those who profess a simple belief in a
FGB> creator; they are those who insist their beliefs are correct
FGB> and we MUST ALL bow down before GOD before we all roast in
FGB> Hell.

Another lie. It matters not one way or another. Say you believe, count
on being ridiculed. Even if you don't expect your antagonist to believe
(and say so) you still are a mindless automaton in their eyes and
mouth.

Opinions vary, Let me ask you this then; What would it take to get you
to believe? If the only way your gonna believe is through "scientific
evidence" (so called anyway), then you have let the devil cheat you out
of your right to salvation.


Have a good day J.j. and Godbless!

In the Bible it states "Though we walk in the flesh, we do not war in

and ever high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God. And
bringing into captivity every thought to the obediance of Christ."

Well, its part of Christianity. Without the tithes and support from the
congregation of believers, there wouldnt be churches. If you believe in
something, why not support it? I dont know where you stand in regards
to Christianity, but even if your not a Christian and you here of a local
mission in your area to help feed the homeless or something like that, 
wouldnt you help out if you could? 


Take care guy, and Godbless!

SW> God created everthing in perfection and pure Holiness. However, He

PS> A claim. Substantiate it without the Bible, s'il vous plait.

My knowledge comes from the Word of God. I am not required to prove
anything to you. You have a mind and the ability to choose and believe
what you will. You can take God at His Word, or you can go in circles
looking for answers somewhere else. Its your choice Preston.


SW> created  angels and mankind with the ability to choose whether to to
SW> good or evil. It's called freewill.

PS> Couldn't an omnipotent being have found a way to give us free will
PS> without letting us choose evil?

Nope. If God would have denied us our right to choose good or evil, it
wouldnt be a freewill and He would have infringed on our rights and
freedoms. God didnt want us to be robots, He created so we could choose

to follow Him and love Him out of our own free will. 


SW> It says in John 3:3 "Eccept a man be born again, he cannot see the
SW> kingdom of God."

PS> A damned shame about all of those first century Peruvians and Chinese.
PS> They went to hell without ever getting a chance to hear about your
PS> god. 

If they never had a chance to hear about Christ. Then when happens to them

is up to God. God is fair and just. He will judge everyone accourding to
what they know and have done. To him who has more, more will be required.
And to him who has little, less will be required.


SW> It's our choice to choose. We can choose to go to heaven or we can
SW> choose to go to hell. It boils down on our freewill. 

PS> This is the same choice that a man confronted by a pistol-waving
PS> lunatic who wants his money has.

The difference is, your the only one holding the gun to your head. God
gave us the way out of this mess, when Jesus Christ died for us. God 
loves us and doesnt want anyone to perish. The lake of fire was only meant
for the devil and his angels-not for man. God gave us the way out, but
we must do our part to recieve the gift that God gave us.


SW> God choose to send His Son to this world to pay the price for our
SW> sinfullness. But, we must excercise our freewill and choose whether
or
SW> not we accept the gift that God gave us or not. It boils down to our
SW> choice.  

PS> Surely an allegedly omnibenevolent and omnipotent god could have found
PS> a better way to do this.

God could have forced you to accept Him, but what good would that do? Had

he done that, He would have infringed on your freewill. God is Holy and
a gentleman. He will not force Himself on you. If you dont want the gift
God gave you-its your choice, its still your right to recieve it. But
no ones gonna force it on you.

All we have to do to recieve the gift God gave us, is ask Christ to be Lord
and Saviour in our life. If we accept Christ as our personal Saviour then
we have confidence that we have been adopted as sons/daughters of God. If
we dont, then we are no better then what we were before.

Take it easy Preston, and Godbless!

True, there is no point in mocking the dead. But Christ is Alive and doing
well guy. For one thing, how do you know he was preaching against it and
hence had the echo's on it at one time? Im not saying this is the case
but why draw conclusions. They seem to be cut anyway. Im not gonna justify
it or condemn it-I am not the judge. And neither are you nor J.j. Is 
Christian better than everyone? Or are you better than Christian? No. We
are all the same. As Christians we try to live in a way that is in 
accourdance with the Word of God. It cant be done in mans strength, only
in the power of Christ. For instance, It say's in the Bible not to swear,
I myself swear quite abit. Does this mean im not a Christian? No. It simply
means that in my own strength, I can do nothing about it. I can try 
harder and bite my tongue every time I swear, but its gonna continue until
I stop swearing by the power of Christ. Sin is all the same guy. There isnt
certain sins that are greater than others-there's no such thing as the 
"little white lie". Its either sinful or its not. But who's to go to court
against Christian? As if none of you sin. Like it say's in the Bible,
he who is without sin, let him throw the first rock. 

I see no reason to continue this particular thread against Christian. So,

why not drop the case and never mind about pulling the mote out of his
eye when you have a beem in your own. Im not perfect, and neither is anyone
else here in this echo. We are the same Preston.

Take care and Godbless..,


Steve

GR> It isn't the easy way, but it is the correct way.

LB> George -- you just described perfectly the Christian concept of why

Well Lynda, the way I interpreted it was a knock against him for the way
he chose to bring up his son. If you meant it another way then I apologize
for what I wrote. George spoke with maturity and knowledge and it seemed

you flamed him for that. I have read it over a few times and still cant
see
what you said you were saying but im just gonna leave it at that. Have
a good one and Godbless!

Years ago I had a friend (now dead) who had had a hysterectomy
years before I knew her. Her doctor explained to her exactly what
would happen in surgery, how she'd feel afterwards, etc., leaving
her in an it's-no-big-deal frame of mind prior to the big day. She
was Catholic, but, as is more traditionally the case with blacks,
her mother was a pentecostal of some kind. Louise was in her bed
in the hospital the night before the grand opening, when in walks
her mother with an entourage from her church. They started in
praying to gawd in the inimitable manner of all pentecostals, and,
more particularly, as only black pentecostals can do. "Oh lawd,
spare this child of yours from the valley of death through which
she will walk in the morning. Guide the surgeon's hand and lead
her safely through this ordeal" etc. By the time her mother,
friends in tow behind her, left the room, Louise was convinced her
doctor had lied to her about the seriousness of the operation and
her chances for coming through it, and she was terrified.

Are you trying to tell me that you've come on here, thinking
you can preach to the unwashed, and you don't even own a

Read the book of Isaiah.  That's the only clue you get from me.

But he instructed Peter, specifically, to "feed my lambs", to take care
of
Jesus' followers. And whose ring does the Pope have? No, I don't agree on
the primacy of the Pope, either. Just as I do not believe in the
DEMONIZATION of the Pope.

JP> If you believe the papacy is genuine,
JP> If you believe the papacy is really all it claims to be,

JP> and you should confess being a Roman Catholic.

But I do not admit to any of those "beliefs". Indeed it is CONTRARY to my
beliefs. But that doesn't mean I have to hate the guy or his followers.
The Dalai Lama of Tibetian buddhism, is an interesting, erudite man (his
FREEDOM IN EXILE is fascinating) and I can admire him without admitting
any spiritual superiority of his. Same with the Pope.

JP> And yes,  the label "Christian" as it is commonly used,
JP> is commonly erroneously used to describe a lot of "apostates." 

But Jesus will judge that. Obvious errors you must address, like a person
who uses the Bible to justify hate; other than that...

But Jesus ate with tax collectors, publicans, and sinners. He did not come

I can disbelieve that claim yet still respect the individual. Or
DISRESPECT them, as the case may be, as you may remember from my posts
about the pope during World War II.

JP> A papacy supporter is a lie against Christ supporter. 

Between 300 to 1500, papacy supporters were all you had, except for the
Greek Orthodox.

AS> And the weirdest thing of all is how many predictions there

True. But if a hundred predictions have been proven to fall through, you
can't blame us about being a little skeptical of the hundred-and-first.

JP> Most have been "antichrist."    Just not the final "beast."

Possibly.

AS> And the more you predict it...Scripture says 
AS> it will come in a time "unlooked for". 
AS> The more you predict it, the more sure you make
AS> it that it will NOT happen when you think.

JP> A certain timing of the "rapture" has been proclaimed 
JP> on "christian" TV for a couple of decades.

JP> That timing is wrong.   Do you know what I am talking about ?   

Hal Lindsey's prophecies, that sort of thing?


AS> The important thing is to live every day as if it might 
AS> be the last in Time, and the first in Eternity.

JP> The important thing is to heed Christ.

Luke 17:22. "Then He said to His disciples, 'The time is coming when you
will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, but you will not see
it. Men will tell you, 'There he is!' or 'Here he is!' Do not go running
off after them. For the Son of Man in His day will be like the lightning,
which flashes and lights up the sky from one end to the other." Luke 12:40,
"You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at a time when
you DO NOT EXPECT HIM." Matt 24:36."No one knows about that day or hour,
NOT EVEN THE ANGELS IN HEAVEN, NOT EVEN THE SON, but only the Father." I'm
not going to claim knowledge that Jesus HIMSELF admitted He didn't have
here on Earth.
I AM heeding Christ, John.

Yeah, JJ hit a dead nerve on his one. Anyone who considers a priest really
able to consecrate them will know that JJ can't consecrate 'em. For that
matter, my brother's drinking problem started when, as an alter boy, they
had to finish off the rest of the consecrated wine because not a drop can
be wasted after it's consecrated. (In my current church, they use matzoh
crackers and grape juice. Not the same, but doesn't lead to any drinking
problems, either.)

You can certainly try it around ME. I would invite you to. You would
ONLY do it once, I guarentee it.
But of course you're all talk and no action. If you pushed someone down
a flight of stairs, no one would blame God, they'd blame YOU, and you
would be arrested for maliscious assault.
Grow up. That sort of thing is about as "adult" as Asmodeus thinking it
is okay to steal from people he hates.

I'd rate him a little ahead of Lammon and Tomkat (remember them?) simply
because he mainly seems callow and self-centered, rather than hate-filled.
Grigor-Scott seems way ahead of him in hate, but much more intelligent.
So he still hasn't reached rock bottom.
Yet.

That's for sure! And I get to join in the general razzing for a change,
since I have little use for the Satanic Bible (which doesn't mean it
wouldn't be interesting to talk to a GENUINE Satanist--i.e., one who
worships Satan as an actual entity---rather than a shallow little hedonist
who calls himself a Satanist.) and those who follow same.
In fact, there has been more general invective against Asmodeus than
most fundies here. When Hector and I agree on a person....that SAYS
something!

Right. Notice the stories where women love a dashing hero who consistently
risks his life is usually written by MEN. Dorothy L. Sayers, in her Lord
Peter Wimsey series, had him meet the love of his life (a detective story
writer modeled on Sayers) when she was being tried for murder, had to have
Wimsey save her by finding the real murderer. And then she spent FOUR
NOVELS trying to get the love affair past that initial awkwardness,
because she knew that a true love affair cannot begin with a humiliating
feeling of gratitude. He makes the point over and over, as he consistently
proposes to her, that if they had met any other way, without this crushing
burden of feeling "grateful" that she resented, they would have got along
famously long ago! (He did finally marry her, of course...and during the
honeymoon they fond a corpse. Such are the reality of mystery
stories...)

A little clue; and I am a Christian believer, not an Islamic one. In this

NOT for you. It's sort of a giant religious food fight. I like it simply

MG> If Al admits to there being almost no life int he universe, he has to

Two things; as I said before, a universe this old, and since it is
expanding, this large, is necessary for just ONE civilization to exist.
(Enough time for the higher elements to be generated in the first stars,
explode as supernova, etc.) I hope you are wrong and life is very
prevelent (and by that I mean perhaps one life-bearing world every twenty
or so stars between K and F in the stellar sequence, for instance) but the
fact remains, a universe this big would be NECESSARY for even JUST us to
exist. Again, life spreads. If indeed we are the only, we might be like
the first self-reproducing molecules on the early earth. We'll spread.
Whether you believe in a closed or open universe, it's pretty clear that
the time before the Big Crunch in the first case is WAAAAAAYYYY longer
than the time since the Big Bang. We are still in the early morning of the
cosmic "day". And to an eternal, omnipotent (in the sense of all power is
his) being, what is "wasteful?" So the rest of the universe, if there is
no other life, might be for the sheer beauty and joy of the creation.
I hope not. I hope we have company. I can get along quite well with either
stand. And my theology need be affected by neither.
BTW, Tipler made the observation that most biologists and cosmologists
think intelligent life might be fairly common, most biologists think that
intelligent life depends on so many interlocking variables that they think
it would be pretty rare. Where do you stand?

  If there's one thing worse than meeting Cthulhu in a dark alley,
it's
DW> meeting the mean, nasty fuck who can manage to *crucify* Cthulhu. 

There is a DC Comics hero named the Spectre. A hard-bitten police
lieutnant who got killed by criminals, God gave him powers to stay on
Earth as a ghost until all--not just some, not just the greater part, but
ALL--evil was eliminated from the Earth. He was created in the late
thirties by Jerry Siegal, the guy who created Superman, and the idea if
a
little is good, a lot is BETTER. The Spectre could LITERALLY do anything.
He could grow cosmically huge and throw stars around. He had no
weaknesses, per se. His battles were pretty short, because who could stand
up to him? He has fought numerous Cthulhu look-alikes and ate them for
breakfast, practically. He woudl be published for a while, and then people
would stop buying for lack of suspense (for one thing, how do you kill
someone who's already dead?) but because the idea had some appeal, he
would be brought back...his latest run has lasted a while, mainly because
of some excellent writing by John Ostrander, who realized causing the
Spectre psychological distress was the main way you could attack an
omnipotent being...it's now one of the better comics out there. Spectre
has a "Dirty Harry" mentality and is NOT the sunshiny guy Superman is, and
there was an interesting issue where the Archangel Michael and the Spectre
duked it out in front of the gates of Heaven...the one place Spectre is
not allowed until he "finishes his mission."

I will ignore the "any Christian with his back to the wall" since you have
publicly admitted not to take your statements seriously.  Yeah, JJ have
been talking a LOT about the "curse"--he should have smited one with a
second curse by now. Evidently Fido is eating some of my posts---some
people are seeing them, others aren't---and unfortunately, Asmy is either
ignoring me or not getting my taunts. Since I DO belong to a "white
lighter" religion in his view, I would have been especially interested.

He claims to be eighteen, I think. Certainly he has the MENTALITY of a
fifteen year old (which is when I read the SATANIC BIBLE, hoping for the
Lesser Key of Solomon, with conjurations and stuff, and instead getting
a
tract with is a paen to hedonism.). I'm sorry, anyone who can take such
a
shallow and self-centered and hedonist philosophy as Lavey's seriously
just exposes their own callowness. I would be interested in talking to a
Satanist who actually believes in Satan, but Asmy (like his mentor Lavey)
hasn't a clue.
But he HAS been highly entertaining. And for once I get to razz him with
the best of 'em!!!
Just curious. Never noticed it before, but Steve mentioned something,
and by gum, he seems to be right, given the information at the bottom of
the post...you do this WITHOUT an off-line reader? You do this all
on-line? Or do you perhaps just capture it to the buffer and read it at
your leasure? Just curious.

DW> For one thing, you shouldn't take Fred so seriously.

Yeah. Hopelessly naive. I tend to take people at face value until they
prove otherwise. Then I read a post of his where he admits not to take
what he says seriously. So there is no need to even pay attention to his
taunts, or his "better educated" gibes, because I will never know when I
am speaking to the REAL Fred, or just his put-on persona.

DW> Have you ever considered the fact that his definition of despair might

DW> do not fall under my definition of despair. 

Don made the same point; I meant despair as the feeling you get when you
are in a hopeless situation, where you can't see any way out. I think a
lot of us have been in that position at one time or another. That doesn't
mean you think LIFE is hopeless, though, just that particular situation.

JP> -----------------------  snip --------------------------

JP> "....voluntary logotomy"   ".....stupid"

JP> LB basically declares Bible believers to be brainless.

No; she IS saying that to believe in a literal flood entails, for
instance, God working so many simultaneous miracles to HIDE THE EVIDENCE
of such, that God, if he DID flood the earth literally to the extent
mentioned in the Bible, then He is either LYING in effect by removing all
evidence of it happening...and why would He do that? What compulsion would
be under Him to hide the evidence of such a happening? Who would He be
afraid of? The lack of desposits that would indicate a tremendous flood
in
the geological record has been enumerated many times. Or, contrariwise,
the Garden of Eden story entails, if taken too literally, a creation in
six days and a unbroken human history from that time. Again, that violates
all the evidence we have uncovered. And if you believe an Ussherian time
line, it means that any star we see that is more than six thousand light
years away is a LIE. It's not there, or if it is, we are not seeing the
light from that star, but an image created to represent it.
As you know, from your knowledge of Scripture, God CANNOT lie. And I
think it is the higher blasphemy to say that God is setting up ten
thousand red herrings around the earth DELIBERATELY TO MISLEAD MEN. Nor
do
I believe Satan can have created such, that is the Manichearean 
heresy, that Satan is a demiurge with creative powers. I cannot read
either statement too literally without coming up with the idea that God
lies...either there was a flood, and a special onetime creation in six
days and He hid all the evidence, or He is lying about the early parts of
Genesis. That's why I CANNOT read it literally.
However, if I read the Garden of Eden as a metaphor or parable for a
deeper truth God is telling us about the nature of God and Men, or the
Flood as using a tale of a flood (current in Middle Eastern traditions at
the time when it was written down) to explain and prefigure God's eventual
judgement of all mankind...certainly it would be consistent with Jesus,
who I believe was God, and HIS use of parables. Nor does using a story to
tell an eternal truth make the story a lie...anymore than the story of the
Prodigal Son is a lie.
NOW, I do not EXPECT YOU TO AGREE. I do think there is certainly room
for argument here, and respectful disagreement. Certain subjects I think
I
take more literally than Lynda does--certain parts of the nativity,
perhaps even the Resurrection in some respects myself. I certainly take
them more literally than Spong, judging solely by what's quoted here, and
bearing in mind I haven't read as much of him as Lynda or Micheal have.
But that doesn't mean I think Lynda isn't a good Christian. Albert
Schweitzer did not believe that Jesus was a miracleworker, or literally
rose from the dead. He thought Jesus was the best of men, and most
exemplifies the Divine in man. And he then went and spent his life helping
sick African children in Gabon. Do I think he was wrong in his views of
Jesus. Yes. Do I think Schweitzer was a Christian, in that as best as he
understood them, he followed the precepts of Christ? Yes I do. Certainly
he did more to help others than I have ever done. As far as I can judge,
Lynda is a MORE literal Christian than Spong and Schweitzer.
I think ALL of us will be shown to be wrong in some respects in our
opinions about God and Jesus. Which is as it should be; no finite mind can
hold the Infinite. That does not mean we need say "any stand goes". But
we
can disagree without getting rancorous.


JP> She doesn't just disagree with ordinary bible believers.

JP> She  publicly holds them in contempt. 

She is saying what it would be for HER to accept such; to someone who did
not know as much about astromony, geology, and biology as Lynda, it would
not entail such.


JP> Maybe you can distinguish her attitude from that of a typical
JP> heathen,  but I don't see any significant difference. 

I do; remember how she blasted Maria for doing something that would drive
others AWAY from Jesus' love? There she thundered and preached with the
best of them, about driving others away from "her Savior's love". It was
a
very revealing moment. And spoke well of Lynda. Jesus said much the same
thing to the Pharisees.

AS> And do you really think even JFK reappearing
AS> would cause anything  but shock and horror? 

JP> What do YOU believe the Revelation 13-20 is talking about ?

Glad you asked! Most of what I am about to say is NOT mine. It comes from
Dr. Bill Goree, a professor at David Lipscomb University, a religious
university (Church of Christ) and, incidentally, an elder at my particular
church. I am not following him because he is an elder at my church,
BTW...there's another elder whose theories on other things I wouldn't
trust very much---but because they make sense. (It might be noted that the
Church of Christ, or Cambellites, are regarded as fairly conservative
among Christians.)
I think most of Revelations had to be prophecies ADDRESSED TO THE FIRST
CENTURY CHRISTIANS, the audience they were intended for. That we MUST
examine the audience whom John was addressing PRIMARILY, to get the
meaning. So most of the metaphorical language (and I'm sure we can both
agree that much of the language is metaphorical...that the stars will not
literally fall from the sky, etc.) is a code written by John (or dictated
to a disciple, since the style is so different from John's epistles and
Gospels) to superficially not give away what he was saying to any Roman
eyes that might light upon it. He wrote it, according to all the accounts.
late in the century, after Nero's persecutions and it wouldn't take much
of a prophet to see the next persecution, Trajan's, beginning to gear up.
I think (as many other here in this echo have) that John, when he talks
of the Beast, is talking about Roman Emperors. Certainly the memory of the
excesses of Nero would be fresh with him, and some of the later ones
almost matched Nero and Caligula for infamy. "Anyone who refused to
worship the statue of the beast was put to death" for instance, Rev 13:15,
sounds very much like the reason many of the martyrs were put to the
death, for refusing to worship the Emperor. Nontheists can see some of
these things as shrewd guesses, but I have no trouble with actual
revelations from God. For instance, the sign "to be branded on the hand
or
on the forehead, and made it illegal for anyone to buy or sell anything
unless he had been branded with the name of the beast of the number of its
name." There was a time (remembering his lessons, but not able to quote
exactly) in the third? century that one had to produce a paper from the
goverment proving that you had engaged in approved practices to sell or
buy things at ports, etc. Which included Emperor-worship.  Which put
Christians at a horrible disadvantage. "Babylon" is code for Rome, of
course...notice the whore sitting on the "seven hills". The mourning for
the fall of Babylon...one remembers how the fall of Rome struck terror in
the heart of the ancient world, at least the civlized part.
Now SOME of it, I will concede (as will Dr. Goree) talks about the end
times. "There will be a new heaven and a new earth", there will be "no
more tears", etc. But I think the majority of plagues, famines, etc., is
talking about travails in the later Empire. The insects who looked like
horses, only with armored upper parts....metaphorical for the Parthians,
Rome's neighboring empire, and one of the their greatest threats. Armored,
mounted on horseback, the description would fit pretty well.  (I
asked him if he believed that the "new heaven and earth" might be
metaphorical for the legalization of Christianity under Constantine. He
smiled and said, "But God hardly wiped away every tear after that, did
he?")  He feels, from long study of the subject (he teaches history for
the most part) that often some of the repitions and numbers mentioned are
typical of Jewish apocalyptic literature, that such numbers as "seven"
indicated completeness, etc.

JP> AGE is nearly irrelevant.  God has ordained this person.   
JP> Same God that has women having babies at outrageous ages.  
JP> Same God that used to have people living 700 years. 

But surely he must be plausible to THIS generation...if these are the last
days.

JP> The Revelation "beast" has all of Satan's power.

The Roman Emperor's had many of the world's lands under their direct
control. Remember the final temptation Satan gave Jesus, "All these will
I
give you, if you will fall down and worship me." If any class of people
ever showed "absolute power corrupts absolutely," it was the Roman
Emperors. And I would include Constantine, since he ordered his son and
one of his wives killed.

JP> The "beast" will appear vigorous.  Sharp.  Witty.  Brilliant. 

So did many of the Roman Emperors.

JP> The leaders of EVERY form of organized religion on earth will be 
JP> telling their flocks that the "beast" is a "heavenly miracle."

You will notice that the Romans let other people keep their own worship,
as long as they INCORPORATED Emperor-worship into it.  The Jews are the
only exception I know of.

JP> [those who oppose the "beast" will lose their positions within
JP> the organizations,.... and lose their earthly lives as well]

Again, read Pliny the Younger to read accounts of Christians being killed
for not worshipping the Emperor and refusing to disavow Christ. Which
happened a decade or two in John's future...


AS> Given the revelations about his many affairs, do you really think
AS> they will embrace him as a holy man? Even if he did reappear?

JP> The worldly do not want a "holy" leader.

Well, if he DID reappear from the dead, wouldn't that be proof of some
sort of supernatural event?

JP> JFK's history is PERFECT for the final "beast." 

So is Nero's.

JP> You can't start a mass movement by sheer/mere assertion of something
JP> that EVERYBODY is firmly convinced is untrue/impossible.
AS> Although Joseph Smith (Mormonism) came close....

And NO one questioned someone taking away the body of a beloved president?
(They may have hated him in life...many did...but I remember Kennedy's
assasination well. I remember how quickly Kennedy went from the "guy who
bungled the Bay of Pigs" to "Johnny, we hardly knew ye."

Hmmm. Which belief are you talking about?

sent me a post about that. And I DO believe him. Dan said much the same

AS> Jim; she's joking. And after all, it was not SHE who first

JP> It was not SHE who first treated fellow avowed Christians

On the contrary, John; she has treated SOME with contempt. Some she has
been unfailingly nice to. Isn't the brotherhood of Christians large enough
to encompass a wide variety of viewpoints...such as many in the churches
that Paul corrected, who went MUCH farther astray, whom he still addresses
as "brothers"?
If she is spending more time criticizing religious hypocrisy (as she
sees it) than unbelievers, than certainly she is doing EXACTLY WHAT JESUS
DID! Count the number of times He talks about unbelievers, compared to the
number of times He mentions the hypocrisies of the Pharisees and the
Sadduccees.
And...quite FRANKLY, John...coming from someone who reguarly paints the
largest group of "fellow avowed Christians" which is the CATHOLIC CHURCH,
with less than complimentary colors (Well? Whether you think they are or
not, they certainly AVOW themselves to be.) you better remove the
four-by-four from your eye before you try to talk about the speck in hers.

JP> [whether to suck up to heathens, or for whatever reason]

Maybe because it was her honest opinion? Maybe because her interpretation
of the Bible--and that is all either of you have--is diffferent from
yours?


AS> If you WANTED to drive a believer into becoming an unbeliever, 
AS> I can think of no better way to do so:
JP> 
JP> She already proudly claims to be an unbeliever,

Unfortunately, that is a lie. She doesn't believe every word of Scripture
is the literal truth. Well...there are a lot of us who think some things
in the Bible are parable and metaphor, which does not detract from the
ETERNAL TRUTH of their lesson. Unless you think there really WAS a
prodigal son, exactly as Jesus described...?


JP> and is a constant basher of believers. 

John, quite frankly, when Creationists (like the ICR) come on and try to
twist scientific fact to fit their interpretation of the Bible, they are
LYING for God...or their religion. As C.S. Lewis said, "Lying for your
religious beliefs may help your religion. It certainly isn't helping God."
See the difference?


JP> So very liberal "christian." 

John, perhaps you would do better to ASK her if there is any scriptural
basis in what she believes? I'm certain she has backing for everything she
believes.

Place a box on the ground.  THe box should be a 4" cube and weigh over thirty
pounds.  Bend at the waist to pick it up, using one hand.  It helps if you've
led a rough life to begin with, and your back isn't it the best shape already.

Does Mikey think that the Romans forced people who were born outside the

nonsense?

So, when do we make Lynda an honorary "empty" heathen?  She's been doing

artistic heathens (Sue?) could draw up some kind of certificate? :)

Errr... If I had to guess, I'd say both.  I haven't even seen any replies
to Maria lately, so I'd have to say she's taken a powder.  However, given
Fido's propensity to "[go] weird", that possibility cannot be ruled out.

Governments are composed of people, right?  Whoever said that people (especially

positions?  Whoever said that the actions of people had to make sense?

At which time we'll be exposed to his Easter screed.  We may be able to
milk that one until June or July, but there's gonna be a dry spell until
Thanksgiving.  Too bad Jesse's not Catholic - they've got religious holidays
every third Wednesday. :)

Does Jimmy-boy imagine that we're concerned with the opinion of his alleged

If she exists, she can't be too damn bright - she married him.

Isn't it odd that the "earth-worshipping" societies never seem to get beyond

Hmm... it seems that worshipping Gaia is even more worthless as worshipping
Jehovah.

That's what God is for.

Seriously, I didn't realize I'd need to be so anal about it.  You'd also
need an amplifier, a speaker, and a few other goodies.

Yes, for eavesdropping on cell phones.  However, there's no telling when
you'll *need* a directional antenna, so it's best to throw one in for the
hell of it, rather than having to build another device from scratch later.

Of course it won't.  However, I've seen notices for a program called "PGPphone"
- you can't tell from the name, but it is the equivalent of PGP for voice
communications :).  PGPphone requires that you talk through your sound card
(and a microphone) rather than your telephone handset, but it shouldn't
be long until a similar device is developed that can be attached directly
to the phone itself.

That is one concept I've yet to get any "NWO cashless society" weenie to
understand.  They all bitch and moan about debit cards and the government's
ability to track each and every person by their spending, but they fail
to take into account the fact that for each advance in security technology
there's three advances that can be used to break that security.

And no one would ever be able to sleep.  Pretty fucked up world, huh?  Yet
clueless fucks like Asmodeus never seem to be able to carry the consequences
of their ideals (or rather, the ideals they lifted from someone else) to
their logical conclusion.  Each of them dreams of a world where they are
free of responsibility, yet they have no idea that there are people (more
than they're capable of imagining) that would as soon shoot 'em as spit
on 'em.

Rejection is beside the point.  Everyone who says "no" to you is
"rejecting" what you believe to be the gospel.  Those who do so rudely,
are being rude to you personally.  Nor does that line of reasoning
particularly apply to the modern day, when everyone has ample access to
the information in question, to accept or reject as they see fit.  This
no longer the Roman Empire, and Christianity is no longer an obscure
novelty.

Sounds reasonable to me; after all, captive animals don't 
generally have 150 square miles to run around in.  The smaller 
range (and the generally closer proximity each animal has to each 
other - in the wild, they can get away on their own for a few days 
or weeks) might affect females hormonally.

So, having a "personal relationship" with your chosen god-construct 
doesn't count as a religion.  How about someone who claims a "personal 
relationship" with Mohammed?  Or with Zeus?  Or Odin, Cthulu, 
Stargoat, Amagok, Manitou, the Yellow Emporer, Buddha, King Arthur, or 
a host of other gods/demigods/heroes from around the world?  They believe
in 
THEIR diety constructs just as much as YOU do, and are likely to fall 
back on the exact same sorts of arguments you will to plead the case 
for their pet dieties, and all will back up their claims with some 
sort of scripture, based on ancient legends and lore - just as your 
own adopted scriptures are.

SW> evil can dwell with my God. What happened to Gweeny was unfortunate,

Unfortunately for you, your god claims to have made evil.  He even 
admits it in the OT.  Besides the fact that if your god made 
everything (a highly specious claim, indeed) then it also made evil - 
"everything" means just that.

SW> but it wasnt God's fualt. If you walked down the street and got jumped,
SW> beat upon and robbed, would it be God's fualt? No. Would it be your
SW> fualt? No. It would have been a sign of the times guy,(redeeming the
SW> times becuase the days are evil). 

Oh, but if he won a million dollars in the 6/49, he'd be expected to 
praise your god for his good fortune, wouldn't he?

And "evil days" have ALWAYS been upon us, Chucklehead.  There hasn't 
been a generation in history that hasn't lamented society's decline 
and looked back upon some far-distant age - when people ALSO lamented 
how bad society was.  Today's society is no worse - and most likely 
even better - than the days when most people in Europe believed in the 
same god you do .. and knights went around lopping people's heads off, 
feudal lords worked their serfs to death, the heads of enemies 
were hung on pikes within and around cities, kings ruled with 
absolute power, and most people were completely illitreate.  It's 
better than it was even 500 yeras ago, when standards of hygeine were 
still very low, more diseases than now were completely incurable, 
people went off to find foreign lands and decimate the populations 
(ask the Beothuk Indians and the Tasmanian aborigines about how good 
God-fearing folk can be .. oh, wait, you can't.  They were all made 
extinct, quite forcibly) and monarchs STILL ruled with absolute power. 

100 years ago, you had the generally lawless West, and Eastern folks 
laying waste to the natural world in an era before hunting laws were 
forced to come about.  In the 1930s, you had the Depression, which 
forced the concept of welfare to come into being, in response to the 
masses of starving folks on the street, to keep them from stealing 
what they needed.  In the late 30s and 1940s, you had the rise of Nazi 
fascism - and through the 30s, fascism was favoured by the US 
government because it was diametrically opposed to Communism - which, 
at the time, was seen as the bigger threat until the US entered World 
War II.  In the 1950s, you had pregnant girls being sent away from 
home, in shame, to bear their children - and no birth control was 
still yet available, legally, and people could be blackballed on mere 
suspicion of ever having even read the cover of "Das Kapital".  All 
throughout history, you had your equivalents to beatniks, hippies, and 
free-thinkers, people out to upset the status quo of the time.  Even 
Socrates was sentenced for what HE had to say, in an age of Greece 
some like to idealise - he was accused of "corrupting the young".  
Time marches on, but the tune never changes.

So, I'd like to know what age of history (DOCUMENTED history, please - 
don't bring up your garden of Eden mythos - every culture has an 
idealised distant past, for the reasons outlined above) you would 
nominate for being "better" than the way things are now.

Hell, I think those "natural childbirth" weenies are closet fundies; 
they might not use biblical language for their aims, but they're very 
good at using guilt and fear to convince you to forgo an epidural 
block, or even gas, during labour.  "It's bad for the baby", they 
chant to nervous new moms-to-be .. who, if they buy the line, wind up 
having a much worse time at it than it might have been.

The pamphlets put out by the Lamaze people really pour on the fear and 
guilt tactics, too, aided and abetted by health care workers who run 
prenatal classes.  I was also turned off quickly by the La Leche 
League's pamphlets, which use basically the same language and tactics 
to get women to breast-feed, thus tying them down more to their 
infants and toddlers than they need be (and, of course, it's more 
difficult for the father to get in on the act, unless mom uses one of 
those modified bovine milking machines on herself; but the pamphlets I 
remember seeing frowned upon ANY use of a bottle whatsoever, no matter 
what sort of milk was stored inside.)  Worse, the True Believers in 
such things were so wide-eyed and all, they reminded me of street- 
corner fundies and Scientologists trying to get folks to take a 
personality test.  It's fucking scary.

MR> We also have a need to love and be loved; the knowledge of something

So do most animals; pets are an obvious example, but even reptiles and fish

will react positively to kindly care .. and, as far as the ones with obvious

behaviour go, they tend to react tenderly to mates, as well, even if they

don't normally stay together all year.  As for the ones whose behaviour
is
more cryptic to human observers, we simply don't KNOW what they're feeling,
and can't infer such by watching.  For instance, I've seen film clips of
lions 
mating; it looks like an unpleasant affair, from my human point of 
view, what with the neck-biting and all, but then, some humans like 
"rough sex" as well.  At first glance, it doesn't look like either is 
enjoying themselves, but on second thought their reactions are 
probably just similar to groaning and love-biting in humans, who are 
more obviously (to another human) enjoying themselves and may actually 
even give a damn about one another.


MR> "higher" than us; to think and plan things out; to create things with

No, we simply don't KNOW if they think of anything "higher" than themselves,

because we can't converse with them on our own terms - and we haven't yet

learned how to "get into their heads" on theirs. Dogs, however, react somewhat

worshipfully to their masters - and will even die for them.  Wolves tend
to 
adore the alphas in their packs.  We simply don't know if they conveive
of some 
sort of unseen super-alpha or not.  Even if they don't, so what?  What's
so 
great about unevidenced belief in unseen superheroes?

MR> our hands.....all  things that animals cannot do. 

So, we make things with our hands.  Big whoop.  That's instinct, too. It

doesn't seem to be any less instinctual than corals making great reefs and

islands with their very bodies, or wasps making elaborate paper mache nests,
or 
beavers making fortified dams and lodges, or satin bowerbirds making 
elaborately and beautifully decorated nests to impress their ladies, or

whatnot.  Captive elephants and chimps seem to thoroughly enjoy tracing
in the 
dirt, or even painting when given the materials to do so, just as human

children do. Hell, their paintings have even been presented anonymously
to art 
critics, who estimate the value (thinking that the artists are human) of
such 
paintings in terms of tens of thousands of dollars or more (art critics
are 
very big on abstract art.)  There probably isn't a human alive that doesn't

find it fulfilling to tinker, or draw, or build, even if they're not 
particularly good at it - and when such a propensity shows up in other species,

it's immediately labelled as "instinct".  Yet, such propensity is no more

indistinguishable in humans than it is in other critters - it's instinctual
in 
humans to create.  So, some of us are better at it than others; birds can
make 
shoddy nests, too.  Shoddy nestmaking, however, has a bearing on the genetic

makeup of bird species, since birds who can't build nests worth a damn simply

won't be successful at breeding, so the talent for the art of nestbuilding
is 
reinforced in the species.  If artistic talent was similarly important in
human 
societies, it, too, would eventually be that all humans were decent artisans.

Mental illness is also long known to occur in other animals, without 
help from any virus or tumour or other physical CNS disorder.  Zoos 
have, in this century, been forced to upgrade their facilities and 
make animal enclosures more naturalistic and stimulating for the 
inmates - not due to the actions of animal rights/animal welfare 
activists, but simply due to the fact that they were losing a great 
many animals due to mental illness.  Animals in old-style zoo cages 
routinely showed signs of insanity brought on by sheer boredom -
including, but not limited to: incessant bar-biting; foot-chewing;
licking of one area until raw;agression towards cage-mates,
including those of the opposite sex; stereotyped pacing continued
all day until the animal simply collapses from exhaustion; head-shaking;
and beating of the head against the floor or wall continuously.
Dogs, cats, and birds can be driven similarly insane due to abuse or neglect.
I've seen an insane galah who can do nothing more than screech all day.
Pit bulls rescued from drug dealers or dog fighters are regularly put 
down - not because of a "vicious nature", but because they've been 
deliberately driven insane enough to attack anything that moves - not 
a normal behaviour for ANY animal.

KD> On the contrary, it is people like Maria that NOW wants to save.

Frankly, if folks like Maria want to be doormats, that's up to them. I 
don't understand how she can be happy that way, but hey.  I also 
couldn't understand the housewives I've met that were happy knowing 
absolutely nothing beyond the best sort of vaccuum cleaner to buy.  
NOW's business should be in protecting the rights of those of us who 
DON'T want to be that way, and don't want the traditional view of 
women forced on us.

The only way someone like Maria would/could ever change would probably 
be through some sort of seriously bad experience at the hands of her 
husband or some other male .. I doubt she'd ever realise that being 
subjugated isn't all that pleasant on her own accord.  Perhaps her 
personality even dictates that she not be in control of her own life.
My only problem with the likes of her is, they only reinforce the 
views of those like Christian Miller, Shabier Khan and men like them 
who wish we were ALL Maria Russells - quiet, obedient, and dumb as 
posts without the intestinal fortitude to take care of ourselves or 
express an opinion of our own.

Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) for the canidae, it's a natural 
and routine occurrence.  When the male ejaculates, the head of his 
penis expands to such an extent that the pair becomes "tied" - and 
there isn't much they can do about it for about half an hour.  It may 
help with pair-bonding, especially amongst canid species that are more 
or less monogamous.  However, it leaves the pair open to attack by 
natural enemies, jealous conspecifics, and disgusted humans with 
hoses.    The best anyone can do when coming across a pair of 
dogs who seem "stuck" is to simply leave them alone - they'll be able 
to seperate soon enough, and anyway, by the time they're stuck it's 
too late to prevent any sperm transfer and possible pregnancy.

DR> An alabaster jar was found in the Negeb desert in 1994. It's 
DR> contents proved, ONCE AND FOR ALL, that man was created by 
DR> GOD and not by Evolution. The jar was found by a young Burber 
DR> woman who traveled the countryside in search of snake and 
DR> scorpion venom which she sold to laboratories for research. 
DR> Her search led her to a dry cave hundreds of feet above the 
DR> desert floor. Here she found a large alabaster jar which has 
DR> been dated to early man ie. 3000 b.c. In the jar were the 
DR> writings of a man who claimed to have killed his brother. Our 
DR> best scientific guess is that the author was CAIN! The 
DR> university of Cairo has conducted experiments on the Vase and 
DR> its contents and will be publishing their conclusions very

DR> MEANS THAT THE WORLD REALLY IS 6000 YEARS OLD AND THAT CAIN 
DR> WAS THE SON OF ADAM!!! NO EVOLUTION. REJOICE!!

ROFL!  Oh, the lengths these guys will go.  I guess it never occurred 
to this moron that many people killed their own siblings since time 
immemorial.  Hell, I once knew a fellow who claimed to have shot HIS 
brother to death, deliberately (claimed that the brother killed their 
father, who in turn was an international drug smuggler who used his 
kids to transport the stuff.  I didn't have the stomach to delve 
further into these claims, though).  Does this make HIM "Cain"? A 
creepy bastard, maybe, but ..

Unfortunately, the motivations of what happens at the corporate level of
Dominos doesn't necessarily filter down to the rank and file at the branch
stores.  Indeed, if the excessively Christian CEO of Dominos knew how the
branch closest to my apartment is run, I think they would blow a gasket.

I take some delight in that.

Very few of them. This packet (760 messages) contains only 14 from you.
With that many messages, I feel I should be seeing your name for days.
My packets are containing messages from you only about once every 3 or 4
days and then they are severely lacking in the numbers which are usual for
you.

But, cheer up. For the most part, when your messages are missing...so are
Hector's.

I don't know about 'compelled' but the local synagogue employs 2 non-Jewish
secretaries. The only things they have asked these women NOT to do are
1) not to eat cheeseburgers (or any meat/milk combo...or seafood) inside
the
synagogue building  and
2) to keep their own foodstuffs in the special (non-kosher) refrigerator.

As far as I'm concerned, it is a really stupid employer who doesn't hire
the BEST qualified person for the job, period.

Still doesn't wash. He was supposed to have been IN THE GRAVE for 3 days.
(I suppose they figure that on the amount of time it would have taken a
corpse to really start stinking.) The EARLIEST I can make it is sundown
on Monday. And if the women went to the tomb in the morning, then it can't
be until Tuesday.

Every year my glasses get stronger. So does my appetite for books. If the
day ever comes that I can no longer read the words with my eyes, I'll
start buying the audio versions. And if I can't find an audio version of
what I want, I'll get the book and some tapes and ask a friend to make
one for me. There's always a way for something you really want to do.

Well, I gotta say it's pretty funny for this little ole heathen who
supposedly got her commuppance in August (I'm sure there were more than
a couple fundies chortling about the possibility of us being out in the
street) when Leo lost his job. 

It looks like we're going to CLEAR an extra 15K this year. And that's
WITH paying for a second residence and the expenses of a car, which we
didn't have before. I've managed to get every one of our bills caught up
and am starting to replace the savings we had to use. By June, I should
be
able to afford the new computer I want without having to incur new debt
to
do it.

No gods required.

AS>   do I wanna know?  

Sure. If, as I suspect, you do a little reading, then I am surprised that
you don't already know the answer. I'll give you a couple days to find it
(or for some enterprising soul here to bounce in with the answer) before
I tell you.

BTW, the REAL Alice B. Toklas has very little to do with the cookbook 
bearing her name. Which is one of the reasons I asked the question.

Sure! Bitch, moan, complain, whine, all or any combination. We all do it
at one time or another. If it sounds legitimate, you'll get all the
sympathy and help you ever wanted or thought you could need. But heaven
help you if that's ALL you do, or if someone spots contradictions in your
complaining that look like you are just doing it to be doing it. That's
when the shredder effect takes place.

JB> ... Some folks look for answers...others look for fights...
JB> Ah well, guess you can't have everything. NOT a Deadhead. What a shame.


AS> Thank you, I think. 

Oh dear, I guess I have to explain. (Where HAVE you been living for the
last
30 years or so that you didn't understand my reference?)

That tagline is from the song "Playin' In The Band" by the Grateful Dead.
People (like me, David Hilling, and Sean) who REALLY like the Dead's music,
are called Deadheads. I happen to like them enough that the music for my
wedding was from their "American Beauty" album. And my favorite dog's name
is Bandsma's Ramble On Rose...being one of their song titles. People often
compare the Dead to Jesus and the disciples...Deadheads would sell all they
own to follow them anywhere.

Larry, it's an interesting piece that you posted from the WWW. First  off,
your formatting wasn't very good. Maybe you are having the same  problems
that I experienced? Got any ideas? Also, I wonder, what is it  that you
didn't type in from the Treaty in order to make your  falicious point? Could
you post the entire UN Treaty without any  deletions so that we could make
our own decision on what we think the  implications of it would be without
your biased attitude coming  through? Also, speaking of FOF could it be
that you would provide some  information on 'their' beliefs on just how
children are to be treated.  It's obvious you think that they abuse children
by your initial  comments however I would like to see you quote their material
that  gives that thought. 

Thanks

in the service for HIS Service

Richard

Do you see a question mark at the end of his statement? Ryan Shaw
wrote what he thought, I wrote what I thought. To answer your question,
the only evidence I have is testimony. In Genesis. And Jesus Christ who
said "For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah.
For as in those days they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving
in
marriage, until the day Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand
until the flood came and took them all away; so will the coming of the Son
of man be."
Save your breath. I know you don't accept that as evidence or believe
the written account. From a scientific view, all of history is suspect,
because
it only happened once and it can't be repeated. But let me ask you a question.
Prove that yesterday happened. Sure, you could show me newspapers and video.
You could simply swear it happened. But how do I know your not just making
it up. Or the newspapers are just lying and the video was doctored.

What I would really like to know, is why your so bent out of shape
about people who believe in the bible. What doctrine is in the bible that
makes you angry. Don't you think its a good idea that we should treat others
as we would be treated? That we shouldn't lie, steal, commit murder or
be lazy? These curt one line responses are boring. Tell me where your coming
at and what you think. Then maybe a meaningful dialogue might occur.

Yup, your 100 % right!! My apologies. As to the flood, I have no

true also.
Out of curiosity, why bother with tarot cards then?

No, there excluded because scientists don't believe the possibility

As you well know, if I present evidence and then make a conclusion,

and not a conclusion. As for you, you don't take a stand on anything, just

  Yeah?  In fact the first time I went to Japan with PK, we hired
a consultant simply to stand between PK and myself so I wouldn't kill him.
The consultant ended up being quite the loud-mouthed American and I was
very embarrassed.

On Monday I will be interviewing a guy I used to work with in Holland. 
If he signs on with the company, he and I will be going back to India for
two weeks. When he was in Holland, though, his wife threatened to divorce
him if he didn't come back to the United States.  My wife also had a very
difficult time when I was walking all over Holland working on things.

If you're a programmer, we'll hire you and you can come!

Hubble already is unnecessary.  The CCD telecopes in Hawii are capable of
Hubble-level deep-space astronomy.  The software which runs on the data
does exclude atmospheric distortion entirely and the CCD scopes are often
coupled to the DSN to provide extreme VLBI astronomy.  In fact, when it
was shown how well the Hawii telescopes were working, projects to place
an optical scope on the far side of the Moon was scrapped as unneeded.

Linda Thompson and her group try to play down the religious motivations,
though.  She pretends she's an "acting general" in some kind og One True
American Government fighting against the illegal government.  I think the
bitch is engaged in what believers in "Satanic Ritual Abuse" did after they
learned their religious beliefs weren't being taken seriously:  Change their
public tune and exclude everything religious in their words.  Believers
in SRA changed their tune to "Sexual Ritual Abuse" and I think Linda Thompson
and her little ban of lunatics also learned to keep quiet about their religious
motivations as well.

jjh> Theologically, she's WAY OUT there with Elizabeth Claire Prophet.
jjh> Jesus is only a bit player in a pantheon of hundreds.

I wonder if that really detracts from her being considered a Christian.
David Koresh thought he was (or claimed he was) the dead "Jesus" myth yet
I would still consider him a Christian since he subscribed to the myth.

What _wouldn't_ be a possible troll is someone who comes in and responds

When I was in High School children didn't have the right of expression and
free speech.  And we weren't being killed for our jackets, sweaters, and
shoes.  Gangs/clubs of kids have always been wearing their "colors" to distinguish
themselves from the rest but in the past kids didn't take guns to school
and knife each other just because they are wearing "rival" gang/club "colors."

No one's rights would be violated to impose a dress code.  That's as illogical
as demanding that forcing children to go to school is against their Constitutional
right to freedom.  Minors have few rights and freedom of speech isn't one
of them.

point of view.

If the person was qualified, I would not be "compelled", as I 
would have hired a compitent employee.  

JP> People can't really compartalize their thinking that neatly.

You seem to be having a major problem with that, John.  The place 
I work at has a stance where it will allow the posting of any 
neutral poster.  It will not allow any information posted on a 
political or religious basis, regardless if that flyer in 
agreement with their personal views or not.  

When it's time for elections, the only thing allowed are "Vote!" 
and petitions, any petition.  No one is forced to sign the petitions, 
nore a they told to push any of them.

DC> He asked you for evidence.  Got any?

No, Andrew, that's not testimmony.  You don't even have a positive 
identification on any of the authors of the books in your bible.  

AM> Prove that yesterday happened. Sure, you could show me newspapers and

It didn't.  I'm god and I made that yesterday appear to have happened 
to you.  

AM> What I would really like to know, is why your so bent out of

I'm not.  I find them to be a lot of fun to watch as they spin in 
circles and try to make it fit into a reality that disowns it.   

AM> should treat others as we would be treated? That we shouldn't lie,
AM> steal, commit murder or be lazy? These curt one line responses are

Thing is, you dont' need your bible to tell you that.  Common 
sense dictates it, not some god that can't even dictate a bible 
without errors, lies and contradictions.  

... Belief without evidence is no more than self delusion.

Seems like the benighted xians do their fair share of killing 
doctors.  Do you have any evidence that an abortionists has ever 
killed a child?  Seems like the person would have been tried 
for murder, or something of the sort and convicted of the same...  

BTW, 2 out of every 3 pregnancies results in a spontaneous 
abortion or a miscarriage.  Has your god been brought up on 
charges?  Seems like he is the largest abortion provider going.

Heilsa, Steve!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Steve say to Gwenny:

GtP>> Sure I can.  I can do anything I like.  His people promised me that
GtP>> he would protect and guard me.  He didn't.  He lied.  Well, his
GtP>> "voices" lied.  He doesn't exist.

SW> And if your wrong? What if God did exist and wanted you to get to know
SW> Him. What if He loved you so much that He would accept you where your
at.

Then I expect he'd manifest in my life in some way that made it clear that
was what he wanted.  He's certainly had enough opportunities to do so. 
I was a Christian longer than any other "unbeliever" here....35 years. 
I have fasted, prayed for hours, followed the commandments, etc etc.  I
have gotten down on my knees and BEGGED him to love me, to be with me, to
comfort me as he promised. All I ever got was more pain and unhappiness.

As for loving me as I am, I doubt it.  I am a pagan priestess.  I intend
to remain a pagan priestess.  If he exists, he has declared himself a jealous
god and the enemy of all goddess worshippers.  Haven't you read your Old
Testament? What happened to all the priests of Baal?  What happened to Jezebel?
Look at how his followers mutilated the stories of the Great Mother and
her wise serpent into the story of Eve being bequiled by the evil serpent.
How can he accept what his prophets have condemned for millenia...a woman
who doesn't accept the yoke for female inferiority?

SW>> Its unfair if you judge the crop by one bad apple. Even you
SW>> must realize this. We all make mistakes in life and sometimes we have
SW>> to pay the price for our actions.

GtP>> They are almost all bad apples.  They willfully hurt people in the
GtP>> name of their god.

SW> I cant speak for everyone Gwenny, but Im not like that. And neither
is my
SW> God. Some people dont know what they worship. Or some worship Christ
in
SW> vain and lose all meaning in the doing so.Some cling to tradition and
SW> ceremonial practices. While others dismiss the whole thing as nonsense.

You need to learn about the diety you worship.  At the history of the religions
that have arisen around his worship....it is a cult that worships the death
of "unbelievers".  It is a cult that degrades women and enslaves them. 
It is YOU who do not know what you worship.

GtP>> My family went to church every Sunday when I was small.  Didn't keep
GtP>> the stepfather from raping me or the minister from calling me a liar
GtP>> when I tried to get help.

SW> I dont know what to say, but im sorry you went through that.

I appreciate that.  Too bad the priests and the other Christians around
me didn't care.

GtP>> Been there.  Done that.  They will only accept you as long as you
GtP>> change to suit them.  They will NOT, I quarantee you, accept me JUST
GtP>> as I am.

SW> How do you know?

I was raised Catholic, converted to Presbyterian, converted to Mormon, studied
with the Witnesses and the Adventists.  I've attended almost every denomination
of Christian.  The last I attended was one of the "born again".  Under the
influence of the music and the psychological manipulation of the minister,
I got "saved".  Then I went home and realized that I had been manipulated.
And then I saw the same thing had happened, in one way or another, in every
church I had ever attended.  You've been hooked...you are addicted....you
are being used...

SW> Christianity is about love, not hate. You should have seen
SW> me about five years ago. I was totally fried from drugs and drinking.
SW> I was basically so messed up I couldnt fuction any more. I would have
SW> been dead if it wasnt for a compassionate Christian lady who helped
me
SW> out and basically took me under her wing. And five years later...here
SW> I am, drug free-and and alcohol free. All becuase a great kind hearted
SW> Christian lady didnt think I was a piece of crap when every one else
SW> did.

How sad for you.  To trade one addiction, one sickness, for another.  That
lady wasn't compassionate, she was a drug-dealer.  She used you....by "saving"
you she thinks she got brownie points with her god.  Now you have to go
out and save others to get your fix.

SW>> I'll pray for ya Gewnee. Hope things get better for ya. Take care and
SW>> Godbless!

GtP>> Ahhh, yes, another jerk who subtly demeans me by mispelling my name.
GtP>> It's right in the header...get it right,  or don't bother.

SW> I wasnt trying to demean you any in way. It was just a simple typo.
I
SW> respect you Gwenny. You may not believe it, but I do.

Okay, I'm the forgiving sort.  I forgive you.

SW> ... For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God.

And what if we girls don't want to be sons??

Heilsa, Steve!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Steve say to Gwenny:

GtP>>> Sugar, the ark wasn't large enough to hold all the different species
GtP>>> of bovine, let alone elephants (there were three or four species
GtP>>> then, including mammoths), giraffes, bears, all the big cats, whales
GtP>>> (is says everything that had breathe in it's nostrils), walruses,
GtP>>> all the types of deer and antelope, and the rest of the critters.
GtP>>> Not only

SW>> Well, one would speculate the calculations of the ark to be about 3
SW>> football fields long and 3 levels high.

GtP>> That MIGHT hold the food animals.

SW> Well, it held the food and the animals.

Are you aware that there are "pagan" documents the predate even the earliest
of the OT specimens by a millenia or more, that recount similar stories?
And always it was a different "holy man".  It is just a story.  It did not
happen any more than than Ahura Mazda (another "god of light) told his favorite
to build and fort and fill it with pairs of humans and animals.  It is impossible
for the story to have happened.

SW>> However it also assumed by most that most fo the various species of
SW>> animals that are around topday, derived from a single species. (Check
SW>> your local library for info).

GtP>> Not in three or four thousand years they didn't.  Besides, it says
GtP>> that all creatures and plants reproduce "according to their various
GtP>> kinds."  How could they have changed?  Also, HOW did the kangaroos
GtP>> get back to Australia and why didn't some of them stick around in
the
GtP>> Middle East?

SW> It's theorized that certain animals bred with their nearest cousine
and
SW> in doing so we have the many differnet species that we do now.

Most offspring of mixed pairings (like the horse and the donkey) are sterile.
There would have had to be hundreds of pairs of each to ensure viable offspring.
And it would have taken more generations than there have been to create
the diversity writer were already speaking of over two millenia ago. There
was only one pair of each....well, in the one story.  In the other story
there were seven pairs of each "clean" animal...so they could be murdered
as a thank offering after the flood.  It could not have been done, even
if Noah knew as much about genetics as we do now.


SW> How the  kangaroo's got to australia, I cant say. But I believe
SW> someone built a boat and sailed there with some kangaroo's. I seen an
SW> interesting documentary on how its believed that ancient spaniards
SW> sailed to america way before Columbus got here.

You mean Vikings...and, yes, they did.  This is more than a case of "believed".
They have found Viking settlements in Minnesota.  There's a tribe of blue-eyed
Indians that lives now...the Indians were already there when the Vikings
got there.  They are all that remains of the Viking incursion into NA. 
Those Vikings really got around.  They have found bronze buddhas in the
burial mounds of some Viking nobles in Western Europe.  There was ALOT more
exchange between the ancients than we might believe.

BTW, referring to the Vikings, how did blonde people get into the world.
Noah was supposedly a Semite, right??  They are, and have always been, dark
skinned and dark-eyed.  Soooo, where did white folk come from??

SW> They've even found runes in central america with carved elephants
SW> engraved on them.  Elephants can only be found in africa and are
SW> native to central america.

Central North America.  Even the Vikings didn't get to SA.

SW> They also, found huge anchers
SW> (very primitive) that date back to like a thousand years ago. So, that
SW> could explain how natives got to america in the first place and could
SW> explain(somewhat) of how kangaroos got to australia(which has a huge
SW> native population).

The flood, according to the biblical chronology, happened more than four
thousand years ago.  According to archaelogists, there have been people
of the human variety inhabiting this continent for ten thousand years. 
Anchors a thousand years old don't explain how they got here....a thousand
years ago the Catholic church was coming into it's own and most of Europe
was occupied.

SW> It was a documentary on A&E. Wish I remembered the name
SW> though. If you'd like to see it write them and ask for a program
SW> listing on the shows they broadcasted during the year. They will
SW> probally send you a list as they sell their documentaries to the
SW> public.

Hey, you watch A&E...they have a wonderful program that they reshow regularly
about how the Christian hierarchy has systematically persecuted and attempted
to destroy goddess-worshippers for almost two millenia.  Can't remember
the name off-hand, but I'll try to remember.  Maybe if you watch it you'll
understand why we have little use for the promises of the woman-hating,
baby-killing god you adore.

SW> I hear what your saying but before the flood happened the continents
were
SW> all joined together. There was only one body of water. One big sea.
Who's
SW> to say that the concentration of salt in the sea was always at that
level?
SW> Its possible that when the continents shifted suddenly , huge deposits
SW> of salt where unearthed and through time the salt in the sea settled
at the
SW> level of concentration that it is now.

Pangea (think I spelled that correctly) (that's the name of the supercontinent,
btw) separated long before there was human life....or even any remote ancestors
that resembled humans.  Even IF such a thing happened, the salt could not
have dissolved quickly enough, nor spread fast enough (do some studying
about ocean currents) to have helped. Additionally, I believe Marty could
tell you that something like that would have shown up in the fossil record.
Finally, that would have only helped the salt water creatures.  What about
the fresh water fish and amphibians?  What about the lung fish that need
mud, not open sea?

GtP>> Most predators do not hibernate.  It would have taken a total change
GtP>> in their physiology to have allowed them to do so, since hibernation
GtP>> is caused by a change in the blood chemistry.  Those that do
GtP>> hibernate do so because of cold or because of drought...neither of
GtP>> which condition existed.  Herd beasts, also, do not hibernate.  Small
GtP>> creatures like voles, shrews, and hummingbirds MUST, repeat MUST eat
GtP>> at least their weight in food EVERY DAY.  To go for even a day or
two
GtP>> dooms them.  And speaking of hummingbirds, where did he get fresh
GtP>> flowers for them??

SW> My answer is, Noah had his hands full! The ark wasnt built in one day.
SW> It was a massive vessel. It took a LONG time to build it. God, gave
SW> them instruction and it was built accourdingly. Noah, was instructed
to
SW> gather provision for his family and for the animals, and so he did.
SW> It doesnt say how many years he spent storing up food, but you can bet
SW> it was a heck of a long time.

It doesn't matter HOW long he spent storing up food if he had no place to
put it.  It takes a barn loft FULL of hay to feed fifty head of cattle for
one WINTER...that's about four months in most places.  And you still haven't
explained about the fresh bamboo and eucalytus...or fresh worms for the
shrews...or...it's a long list.

GtP>> Last chance.  Gwenny.  Get it right or get twitted.  I've made the
GtP>> choice. The scriptures are myth like all myth...stories made up by
GtP>> technologically backward people to explain phenomenon beyond their
GtP>> understanding.

SW> Its written, "Sanctify them in Thy Truth, Thy Word is Thy Truth."

SW> and again "The Lord swore and will not repent."

That's why the bible says the flood happened, because he repented.

SW> Just becuase people didnt have all the technology we do, doesnt mean
SW> they were simpletins. Many of the "great thinkers" (men of analitical
SW> minds) lived in days when there was no technology. Were they
SW> simpletins? No, but rather they just lived in times which didnt have
SW> all the technology that we have.

Of course they weren't simpletons. Where the hell do you think we got our
technology from?? Did you know that matriarchal societies were living in
communities with multifamily dwellings and paved streets and a guaranteed
food supply while the patriarchal nomads were still wandering around depending
on hunting to stay alive?  Did you know that the patriarchal nomads learned
most of what they know about civilization from goddess people, then turned
around and enslaved them?  Do you know that they have found statues of 
goddesses over *9000* years old??  Did you know that the earliest they can
reliably date any copy of the christian scripture is 500 BCE while the earliest
writing is found in a temple dedicated to the "Queen of Heaven" dating from
around 3000 BCE?? Of course, these were women, so that probably doesn't
count...only great thinking MEN count.

GtP>> BTW, IF god exists and he EVEN THINKS about blessing me, I'm gonna
GtP>> tell Mom. It's about time he got put in the corner anyway.

SW> God's not a bad guy Gwenny, He only wants whats best for ya. And so
SW> do I. I wouldnt waste my time preaching here if I didnt believe in it.

You preach because you believe that you get credit if you convert others
to your belief system.  That's how drug dealers work, too.  Get one person
hooked and send him out to hook others.  I don't need drugs OR religion.
I got me.

SW> ... For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are sons of God.

I don't want to be a son...

Mark say to Gwenny:

SA>> Well, the BookMark (the second-hand place) has about the biggest sf

GtP>> Just to mean, I have to tell you that most of our RPG stuff came from
GtP>> Goodwill...at $1.95 a book.   I have three or four Unearthed
GtP>> Arcana.

MH>      Well, she is exaggerating. The Sci-Fi store which we have,
MH> locally, will order things without a hitch -- usually within three
MH> weeks, four at best.

That's seems like a long time to me, too.    I'm used to going down to
the Barnes and Noble and getting it in three or four DAYS.  And that's only
cuz they have such a hard time keeping their store stocked with "metaphysical
books".

MH>      The Unearthed Arcana ... Hm. I've got two or three sitting around
MH> here. I picked up one or two from friends, and the last [within the
MH> last year] from a three-story used book store in the nearby US city,
MH> Detroit. A place called John K King Books. Gigantic place; great

Heilsa, J.J.!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
J.J. say to Katherine:

JJH>  Do Wiccans have secret handshakes?

No, we hug and kiss.

JJH>  (I suppose the next thing you're going to try and tell me is
JJH>   that ya'll wear Fezzes.)

Nope, but some of us are fuzzy.

Marty say to Robert:

JB>> I saw Jim Beam  ICE CREAM in the store last week.

ML>      If you do not stop this slander, I'll send you my patented
ML>      (all right: copyrighted) recipe for hi-octane ice cream. (It's
ML>      not that terribly difficult to make, just watch your liquid
ML>      levels).

ML>      With the basic recipe, you can create such masterworks as rum
ML>      raisin (not my fave, too sweet - but my neighbor loves the
ML>      stuff); brandy ice; vodka and sour cherry (one of my personal
ML>      favorites); any flavor liqueur (if you're really perverse) or
ML>      gin and tonic (not really ice cream, per se, but more of a
ML>      cordial ice).

Ummmmm, please send me a copy....pleeeeease....

Heilsa, Mike!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Mike say to Maria:

MR>> Now if you hadn't chopped up my quote you would have known that it

MR>> the Nazarite that had the long hair and abstained from wine. But Jesus
MR>> was a NAZARENE. That means he was from Nazareth. A Nazarite belonged
MR>> to a sect. I know you don't believe what I  am saying so check it out
MR>> for yourself.

MZ> I am not sure, but I believe that the spelling was "Nazirite", for those
MZ> Jews under a vow not to cut their hair or to drink wine.  Of course
the
MZ> Hebrew of the time did not have the vowels, but I would assume that
MZ> someone has some kind of warrant for that spelling.  Examples of
MZ> Nazirites in the Bible include Samson, John the Baptist, and St. Paul
on
MZ> his second missionary journey.  There is no mention made that Jesus
ever
MZ> took the vow of a Nazirite.  Since He was reported to drink wine, it
may
MZ> be inferred that He did not.

Every male that "openned" the womb was supposed to be dedicated to Jehovah.
Yes, that would include Samson, John the Baptist, maybe Samuel and, perhaps
even Jesus. For some reason I have also thought that Jesus of a Nazarite.
But not Paul, I don't think.  He said to "use a little wine for your stomach's
sake" or some such nonsense.

Heilsa, Sue!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Sue say to AL:

SA> Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately) for the canidae, it's a natural
SA> and routine occurrence.  When the male ejaculates, the head of his
SA> penis expands to such an extent that the pair becomes "tied" - and
SA> there isn't much they can do about it for about half an hour.  It may
SA> help with pair-bonding, especially amongst canid species that are more
SA> or less monogamous.  However, it leaves the pair open to attack by
SA> natural enemies, jealous conspecifics, and disgusted humans with
SA> hoses.    The best anyone can do when coming across a pair of
SA> dogs who seem "stuck" is to simply leave them alone - they'll be able
SA> to seperate soon enough, and anyway, by the time they're stuck it's
SA> too late to prevent any sperm transfer and possible pregnancy.

Last winter there was a dog bugging my dogs (they are confined in an half
acre "pen").  Whenever that happens for too long, I just let my Lab out
and he chases the offending critter off....well, USUALLY.  In this case,
it was a bitch in heat.  She got hysterical as soon as he mounted her, because
(as I learned later) it was her first mating.  I was afraid that she was
going to hurt him (she was a very large Malmut) with her jumping around
and biting, so I ran out to try to calm her down.  I was able to keep her
still, but I couldn't get her to relax.  So there I was, barefoot and in
a skirt, kneeling in the snow for half an hour until her owner happened
by looking for her.  The moment she heard his voice she relaxed and Bel
was able to extricate himself.

I never want to go through that again!

Mark say to Annette:

Heilsa, Kevin!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Kevin say to Jose:


KDM> And the Earth is green as a springtime dream,
KDM> no factory smokes appear,
KDM> for they left the land to the gardeners hand
KDM> and we all are circling here.

And we spin long light from the glory of the sun.
Yes, we spin long light from glory of the sun.
And the light gem glow on the Earth below
In the bright web spun from the glo-ry of the sun.

Heilsa, J.J.!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
J.J. say to Judith:

JB>> And we'd NEVER call them Tacky Ladies. They'd be
JB>> 'Tackticians'. We do expect to draw men into our 'family',
JB>> after all.

JJH>  Nah... it's better to go for the sexploitation angle.

JJH>  Keep the Tacky Ladies, put them in scanty outfits (with
JJH>  pom-poms and sequins) and have them call on male clients.

JJH>  For female clients, you could have: TACK-MAN. (Is there any
JJH>  way to make a g-string even more tacky?)

Ever heard of a cod-piece....we could take some inspiration from them.

Heilsa, Robert!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Robert say to Gwenny:

RJ>> Imagine...getting fired for not drinking on the job.
GtP>> I'd get fired....I hardly drink at all except at Dfest.

RJ>         I'm toying with the idea of trying to make it there this year.
RJ>         What's the stickerprice and logistical situation for such a
RJ>         shindig?

We're expecting a mailing soon.  Won't know until it gets here.  Last year
it was $35/adult for five days.  You need your own lunch and dinner, but
they supply breakfast....probably for two reasons...one)  no one is in any
shape to cook for themselves, and two) you miss it if you don't get up by
8:30, so most everyone gets up.  It is a primative site...ie, they supply
water and portapotties...oh, and condoms.   You supply everything else.
At the least, you will need a tent, a very warm sleeping bag (built for
two if you intend to dally), food, personal hygiene stuff and homebrew (since
I expect you'd want to attend the Brewer's Gatherum).  Extra money  is optional,
since I doubt you'd be interested in the "magickal" stuff most vendors offer.
Oh, and a solar shower if you want warm water to get clean....me, I just
go skinny-dipping at dawn and again before bed....gives someone an excuse
to "warm me up."  I don't know what Sean is complaining about...it's a nice
way to start the day.  But then, I don't have testicles and pagan men NEVER
complain about hard nipples.

Heilsa, Steve!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Steve say to Gwenny:

JG>> He's there...just wait patiently. He's waiting for you to drop your
JG>> pride and blindness. He'll show you love like it was meant. I promise.

GtP>> How long does one need to be patient??  I was patient for 35
GtP>> years.  Nothing happened except that I got screwed by other xtians
GtP>> on a regular basis.

SR> You gotta hang in there.  Their jaysus is busy screwing all his other

Thanks anyway, I'll stick with what I have.

Hey, we could probably give Preston his statistics right here.  Of you,
me, Sean McCullough, Linda Whitten, Mark Drake, and, um....who are the rest
of the pagans??  Anyway, Sean should be the youngest, with either Mark or
myself (38) coming in next.  So much for his "wicca wouldn't survive if
it weren't for the teenagers" spiel.

Heilsa, David!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
David say to J.J.:

BH>>> Well we Natives have been talking to the animals for a few
BH>>> thousand years [...]

JH>> Ahhh.... no wonder you never invented the wheel or writing.

DW> Isn't it odd that the "earth-worshipping" societies never seem to get
DW> beyond the stage of back-breaking labour, rampant disease, and early
DW> deaths?

ACTUALLY, the matriarchal goddess (earth) worshipping folk of the Middle
East were living in cities with paved streets, knew how to work metal and
had writing when the progenitors of patriarchal monotheism were still nomads.
Not only that, but they were enlightened enough that women ruled and sex
was not evil.  SO THERE!!

DW> Hmm... it seems that worshipping Gaia is even more worthless as
DW> worshipping Jehovah.

Naw....we have more parties and sex is a sacrament...

Valhalla or Niflhel -- Which for you?

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Robert say to Katherine:


RJ>         Woodruff?  What sort of flavor is that?

It's what they flavor May Wine with....interesting.

I think we need to ditch the HolySmoke Get-together and just do a HolySmoke

Robert say to Gwenny:

GtP>> get away from the rat race for a day or so during her period.  My
GtP>> daughters and my cycles are starting to match, so the day might come

RJ>         that.  Sorta shoots down the supposed benefits of a harem,
RJ>         doesn't it?  Imagine Solomon--keeping 700 wives and concubines
RJ>         who ALL start to get bitchy at the same time.  I think it
RJ>         *would* take the wisdom of...uhh, who was that wiseguy?...uh,
RJ>         yeah, that one--to keep a cool head while being vibed out by
RJ>         a few hundred ineffably angry women.

What do you think the eunuchs were for....just cuz the wienie doesn't work,
doesn't mean not else does.    And I wonder what percentage were
"bi".  Sex does WONDERS for PMS.

JJH>> Is there a First Piss Of The Morning Ritual?

GtP>> What a concept...a reason to party everyday.   But I have

GtP>> the last piss of the night and the first piss of the morning?
GtP>> 

RJ>         The longest one of the day would suffice.

But I'm a setter, not a pointer...all mine are same length....

GtP>> Valhalla or Niflhel -- Which for you?

RJ> ... Ginger or Mary Ann -- Which for you?

Definitely MaryAnn.

Heilsa, Robert!

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Robert say to Gwenny:

MB>> hidden the pregnancy for a sufficient length of time to make
MB>> abortion impossible.

GtP>> I think it is possible to conceive before the first period.  The
GtP>> Guinness book of records lists the youngest mother as a five year
GtP>> old. They raised her son as her brother.

RJ>         What'd be weird is if the boy went out and fathered a child
RJ>         as soon as physically possible--like 10 or 11 years old.
RJ>         Imagine...a 15-year old grandmother.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of that.

RJ>         But I have to wonder what sort of decisionmaking was going on
RJ>         with parents and doctors that would allow a 5-yo to carry a
RJ>         child to term, besides the obvious questions, that is.

This happened in South America a couple of decades ago....they were Catholic.

While bumping down stairs after Christopher Robin, Gwenny the Pooh heard
Judith say to Steve:

SQ>> shrimp. It's GREAT."  "Come on, Steve...try the eggplant.  It's
SQ>> GREAT." I got the point. :)

JB> Well, Leo still tries to get me to try the smoked eel when we're in

Speaking of okra, I found a local buffet that serves it EVERY DAY.  So now
I can take Suzanne down there and let her fill up on it every other week
or so. And *I* don't have to cook it.

DH> Another reason for 3 showing up so often in the bible is that it is
DH> an indefinite number, like our word couple. Indefinite numbers in

DH> Maybe we actually had a few wise men show up? Maybe?

The Hebrew for 3 is "shalosh" (number words seem to be able to take on both
masculine and feminine suffixes, thus shalosh and shloshah seem both to
be
correct.)  So, why is "a lot" represented by 40 or "revi'im" which is
actually the plural of 4 "arba"?  Seems more like it should be "shloshim"
which by your example would be the plural of "shalosh".

I think my father-in-law brought it to England on a business trip.  He got
sick right after arriving there, flew in to Kennedy (NY) the night of the
December storm, his shuttle flight was cancelled, no limos or shuttle busses
were running to Philly, and he ended up renting a car and driving about
6
hours to get here, (just outside the western part of Philly) with pneumonia.

He complained to his doctor about the flu shot not having worked; the doctor
replied "That shot probably saved your life."  It is a nasty strain, and
I'm
glad I've already had my once-a-decade case of the flu last year.

Those of you who mock the flu, remember - it killed Jim Henson.

PS> How the fuck should I know? 

That could range from 360 to 465.8823529, depending on your opinion of which
measurement for a cubit is correct.  My Random House Paper Block gives it
as
a range of 17 to 22 inches; I guess there's no ISO standard.  Oh, wait -
CUBIC cubits? Well, divide by 4, I guess.

SS>> That's circular reasoning, milk-crate.

JS> It makes perfect sense to me, Shelby.

It does, huh?  Please describe the mechanisms for a global flood.  Don't
forget to address the nagging little problem of where the water is for
this ridiculous and impossible event.

JS> I'm sorry you cannot accept it.
JS> You blindly accept 'facts' from a science book that tell you that 'x'
JS> star is 'x' light years from earth,

Bullshit.  You wouldn't know a doppler shift from Montezuma's revenge,
would you?  The distance of stars from the earth is based on observations
and sound scientific principles.  I understand these mechanisms.  I do
not understand the mechanism for: iron axe heads floating, global floods,
the earth ceasing to rotate for 24 hrs. or the Red Sea parting.  All of
these events are claimed in your bible.

JS> or that black holes exist, or that

Theory that is being born out more and more by observations, Bro Jimmy.

JS> man evolved from an amoeba

Straw man, milk-crate.

JS> when they are all basically 'theories' as
JS> no one is/was actually there to witness the fact.

Your scientific ignorance would be laughable if it weren't so pathetic.
How do you expect anyone to take you fundies seriously when the message
is so, so weak and the messenger so very lame.

JS>  Why is it a lie?

Because the bible said a global flood occured and it DIDN'T, knucklehead.

Is that simple enough for you, or must we again employ the Purple One
to serenade you?

JS>  One reason would be to require faith.

I don't give a goat-damn how much FAITH you have, it still doesn't
negate a lie.

Have you ever (while sober) screamed "Die and fry" at someone in person?
Or told a woman that her abusive ex-husband was the "smart one" for being
her ex? Do you go by a bunch of different aliases in the "real world"?

David and Brother Jim were killing time yakking about The Bible and The
Bible
alone:

JS>  That you would have to sacrifice Biblical principles to do so is what
JS>  would bother me, Lynda.

DW> Which Biblical principles has she sacrificed, Jim-bob?

JS> Not that it is any of your business, but it would appear that she is
a
JS> bit unsure in regards to the immaculate conception and virgin birth
of
JS> Christ, the resurrection, certain aspects of the after life, to name
a
JS> few. You got a problem with that!?

That's actually a pretty fair way of stating it, but I have a few questions:
What's wrong with honestly admitting to being unsure?  Why do YOU have a
problem with that?  And what do ANY of those things have to do with making
friends? You said that in order to make friends here, I had to sacrifice
those principles -- what does the one have to do with the other.

Oh, and why are the historical details in the Bible considered more important
principles than the MORAL principles we were given -- "Love God, love others".
"Thou shalt not lie."  The example of the Good Samaritan.  Jesus' willingness
to spend time with sinners, and his tendancy to be harsher with the religious
hypocrites of his day, including those within his own circle, like Peter?

JS>  It is not my choice. I would rather communicate in a reasonable,
JS>  respectful any day. Your 'friends' here do not allow it.

DW> Do we really have that much power over you, Jim-Bob, that we can
DW> control how you react?

JS> You have no power at all.

Apparently, you think they have the power not to "allow" you to communicate
in a reasonable, respectful manner.  Their behaviour may make it easier
for
you to justify your own less-than-stellar actions to yourself, but every
word
you say is by your own choice.  Own it, unless you DO think they control
you.

Ryan and Brother Jimmy were killing time yakking about Women...:

RS> What's wrong [and I'm assuming that you're speaking of a female
RS> minister here...correct me if I'm wrong] with having a female
RS> minister?

JS> I don't know what is 'wrong' with having a woman pastor (or elder or
JS> deacon) other than the Bible indicates it is not the thing to do:

Surely, though, you've given some thought to the possible reasons why such
was indicated?  I mean, if Paul's opinions are the word of God, it couldn't
have been for whimsical reasons -- what was it's purpose, in your opinion?

JS> (1 Tim 2:12 NIV)  I do not permit a woman to teach or to have
JS> authority over a man; she must be silent.

JS> And on the positive side it clearly indicates that it should be a
JS> male person:

JS> (1 Tim 3:2 NIV)  Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband
JS> of but one wife,

JS> (1 Tim 3:8 NIV)  Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect,

What about Deaconesses, which are mentioned in the NT?

JS> Nothing personal, merely biblical instruction, therefore it is done
in
JS> that manner.

Out of curiousity, does your church also follow the NT injunction regarding
women not cutting their hair? (No slam will be forthcoming from me if it
does.
I just want to see how fully you all live by obeying all the NT instructions,
even when such don't have a pertinant reason behind them for today)

JS> These things are changing. At last year's synod, it was
JS> decided that individual classis could determine for that classis and
JS> as always, the individual congregation has the final say, once synod
JS> and classis has given approval.

I've never come across that term before -- what's a classis?  I assume it's
a level in your heirarchy?  Have their been any internal problems between
those who do allow women pastors and those who don't?

Oh...you would never do something so foolish as that.  How naive to think
you would not OWE anything to your church.  Just TRY and get away with that
freeloader routine...and see how long it goes on before you are quietly
(or publically) escorted to the sidelines and asked what your 'problem'

Yes...as they go hand over hand...twisting the guilt-ridden cork screw upon

Better yet...I let life itself be the greatest of teachers...not the armchair

I use their highly reflective properties and bounce the sunlight coming

a nice new fresh stack of 'King James' are waiting to show their true glowing-hot
