HOPE BEYOND HOPE

Read: Jeremiah 17:1-8

Blessed is the man who trusts
in the Lord, and whose hope 
is the Lord. -Jeremiah 17:7


The English poet Alexander Pope wrote, "Hope springs
eternal in the human breast: Man never is, but always to
be blest." But where does man turn when hope dries up?

The director of a medical clinic told of a terminally
ill young man who came in for his usual treatment.  A
new doctor who was on duty said to him casually and
cruelly, "You know don't you, that you won't live out
the year?"

As the young man left, he stopped by the director's
desk and wept.  "That man took away my hope," he blurted
out.

"I guess he did," replied the director.  "Maybe it's
time to find a new one."

Commenting on this, Lewis Smedes wrote, "Is there a
hope when hope is taken away?  Is there hope when the
situation is hopeless?  That question leads us to
Christian hope, for in the Bible, hope is no longer a
passion for the possible.  It becomes a passion for the
promise."

When our expectation is rooted in God and in His Son
Jesus Christ as our Savior from sin and death, the
blessing that Alexander Pope says we are always looking
for becomes a present reality.  Because God is the God
of hope (Rom.  15:13), He alone keeps hope flowing when
its springs dry up in the human breast.
-Dennis J. De Haan


My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name. -Mote

THE SECRET OF COPING
IS HOPING IN GOD.

THANKS FOR INCONVENIENCE

Read: Luke 2:1-7

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for
He is good! -Psalm 118:29


Thanking God for the good things He has given us comes
pretty easy.  But thanking Him for an enduring
"inconvenience" can be difficult.

Moira MacLachlan (a pen name) experienced a
shattering and life-altering event when she was raped
and became pregnant.  Because of her decision to raise
the child, there would be a daily reminder of this
violent disruption of life.

Moira cautiously likens her situation to Mary's
unexpected pregnancy.  She writes, "This world considers
any disruption of its thoroughly detailed preparation
for a life of convenience a rational excuse for
unbridled anguish and rebellion.  To [the world], the
thankful prayer I raise to God for the radical explosion
that took place in my life is akin to insanity.  The
disruptions in the plans of Mary and me served to bring
us both to the same conclusion: Sometimes God's purpose
in shattering the peace in our lives is to remind us
that He has a purpose for everything." Moira thanks God
for her beautiful child, and concludes, "Don't pray for
a life of convenience, you might get it - and wouldn't
that be too bad?"

If you're enduring a long-term "inconvenience,"
consider thanking God for what He has taught you through
it.
-David C. Egner


I thank You, Lord, for bitter things,
They've been a friend of grace;
They've driven me from paths of ease
To seek the Father's face. -Anon.

MAKE FRIENDS WITH YOUR TRIALS,
AND YOU WILL LEARN FROM THEM.

WHY DOES IT MATTER?

Read: James 3:1-11

I said, "I will guard my ways,
lest I sin with my tongue.
-Psalm 39:1


As I watched a network TV news magazine explore the
growing use of foul language in America, I was pleased
to see that someone had noticed the problem.  With TV
itself contributing to the growing use of swearing and
profanity, it was surprising to see the subject
addressed.  But when the newsman finished his report,
his comments revealed a common opinion.  He concluded,
"It's jut words. What does it hurt?"

If we base what we do in this world on personal
opinions, that conclusion is as good as any other.  But
we can't do that.  We must use a standard greater than
ourselves.  For believers in Jesus Christ, that standard
is the Bible.

According to God's Word, and out of love for Him, the
words we use should be chosen carefully.  First, we must
never use God's name in any way that irreverently
addresses Him or disrespectfully speaks of Him (Ex.
20:7).  Second, our tongue should be used for blessing
others, not cursing them (Jas.  3:10).  And third, no
corrupt language should pass through our lips (Eph.
4:29).

Why should we avoid bad language?  Because God says we
should keep our words pure.  And it pleases Him when we
obey.
-J. David Branon


Lord, help us to control our tongues,
To clean up what we say,
To use words that will edify,
To honor You today. -Sper

CHILDREN OF THE KING 
SHOULD USE THE LANGUAGE OF THE COURT.

NO OTHER NAME

Read: Isaiah 9:1-7

There is no other name under
heaven given among men by 
which we must be saved.
-Acts 4:12


The angel announced to Joseph, "You shall call His
name JESUS, for He will save His people from their sins"
(Mt. 1:21).

The name Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew word
Joshua, which is a contraction of two words, Jehovah and
Hoshea, which means "God the Savior" or "Savior God."

This is His name.  This is the name which is above
every name, and the name of the only One who can save
us.  No one can take His place or approach God without
Him.

We respect the names of the patriarchs of the Bible
and the godly men and women of more recent history, but
everyone will one day bow before Jesus (Phil.  2:9-11).
Even His own mother acknowledged her need of a Savior
(Lk.  1:37).  Jesus alone is the mediator between God
and man (1 Tim. 2:5-6).

Yes, we honor godly men and women of the Bible.  And
we give due respect to those who throughout history have
faithfully lived for Christ and proclaimed the gospel.
But we are not to worship them or pray to them.  Jesus
alone is the One whose name means "Savior." He is the
Son of God, of whom Isaiah proclaimed, "His name will be
called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace" (9:6).
-M.R. De Haan, M.D.


My heart is stirred whene'er I think of Jesus,
That blessed Name which sets the captive free;
The only Name through which I find salvation;
No name on earth has meant so much to me. -Eliason

FOR TIME AND ETERNITY, JESUS IS ALL WE NEED.

Hi David!

I said:
DR>CH> Christian's are notorious for being descriminated
DR>CH> against.

You brought up:
DR>LIFE IN OUR ANTI-CHRISTIAN AMERICA
DR>Compiled by Robby Berry
DR>Copyright (c) Internet Infidels 1996. All rights reserved.

(much deleted)
DR>I'm certainly glad this has finally been brought out into the open.
DR>The anti-Christian bias in our society has reached absurd proportions.
DR>Consider:

DR>  1. During the 1988 election campaign, George Bush said that
DR>Christians should not be considered patriots or real American citizens.

George is not an elected Christian spokesman. His statement is
acceptable to me. Christianity has little to do with patriotism. As for
citizenship, they identify with being "not of this world". Of course, we
reside for now in various countries. American, Canadian, French... is
secondary to being a Christian.

DR>  2. Bill Clinton steadfastly refuses to give any speeches at local
DR>churches.

Better to give speeches to the more easily confused!

DR>  3. Both major political parties are dominated by anti-Christians.
DR>The Republican party, for example, gave us such hard-core atheists as
DR>Pat Buchanan, Dan Quayle, Phyllis Schlafly and Ronald Reagan. And the
DR>Democrats have given us such personalities as the Rev. Martin Luther
DR>King and the Rev. Jesse Jackson-- both noted for their vicious attacks
DR>on all forms of Christianity.

Huh?

I deleted many of the items, because they were apparently "tongue-in
cheek" comments, without merit. But:

DR> 11. Recently, several atheists have shot and killed Christian priests
DR>as they were going to work in their churches. Similarly, atheists are
DR>well known for blockading churches on Sunday mornings.

Actually true. The priests (and other missionaries) killed were
primarily in "third world" countries, but the problems at churches has
been occuring in this country. Primarily "gays", which may or may not be
atheist.

DR> 13. In a similar vein, jurors must take an oath upon a copy of the
DR>Skeptical Inquirer before they can serve. There have even been court
DR>cases thrown out because one of the jury members was a Christian who
DR>insisted on swearing on a Bible.

If you knew the Bible's instruction on oaths, you would know why
Christians often "affirm", and will not "swear".

DR> 14. And of course, people are free to wear pentagram jewelry, but
DR>those trying to wear cross-shaped earrings or pendants to work will be
DR>politely told to remove the jewelry or lose their job.

The second part is true in some public schools, and some industry.

DR> 15. Speaking of the workplace, Christians often find it nearly
DR>impossible to get time off work for religious holidays such as
DR>Christmas.

Right! Many stores require employees (sales clerks, cash register
operators, food service, drug stores... etc.)  to work, to get more last
minute sales. Another problem day for many is "Good Friday".  This day
has more meaning for most Christians than does Christmas, but is
recognized by few employers.

DR> 16. Even our language reflects the radical anti-Christian bias that
DR>pervades our society. For example, when somebody sneezes, most people
DR>say "Darwin bless you". Similarly, "Voltaire dammit!" is a common
DR>cussword.

In the "yes/no" column, the writer got this right, but for the wrong
reasons. Saying "bless you" is based on superstition, and recognizes
"evil spirits".  Christianity does not support superstition.

David, most of these writings were not on target considering the topic,
but I read them all, smiled on some, and thought about others as they
relate to my own experiences.

Concerning descriminating against Christians, there is much that goes on
that does not make the "news" you listen to.  Missionaries are killed,
tortured, jailed, in parts of the world.  This is only because others
fear what they teach.  I am not aware of those without "theism" being
killed, tortured, or jailed for being a-thiestic.  This certainly did
happen in the distant past, I acknowledge.

Modern issue: two years ago my son wanted to start a Bible Study Club at
High School.  About a dozen others wanted to meet during a "free" period
that other clubs met, or others yet simply had study halls.

At first the school said: "Fine. Get a Sponsor, and a room to meet."

He found both. The school librarian was a Christian, was happy to be a
sponsor, and had authority over a room attached to the library.

The school then told the librarian that she better not volunteer for
this, because the school should have no involvement with "religion".

So we had a "Catch 22". A Sponsor must be found, but a Sponsor was not
permitted.

Then the Club members were told:
they could only meet after school hours.
they had to get proof of liability insurance.
they would miss the school bus ride home.
they had to fill out an application as an "outside group".
they had to face two school lawyers for approval.

No other (minus-theism) clubs had this descrimination!

The kids quickly got a 100 signature petition supporting the right of
this club to meet just like the other clubs, but no budge.

It took a few months, and a private attorney, to convince the school
that this descrimination was illegal.

No other clubs had to go through this.

Also... though the Bible Study Club was open to ALL, Christian and non-
Christian alike, certain other clubs did limit membership:
Some clubs were for girls, or guys, only.
One club was for "people of color" only.
In some, you had to sing, or play a musical instrument.

The Christian did not descriminate against ANY. Though they were
descriminated against.  BTW - this is a common situation around the
country.

Hi Mimi!

I said:
MM>CH> As for classifying me, I hate no one.

You said:
MM>Good! Now defend Luther's anti-semitism, please

I am not Lutheran, and so, do not represent that particular faith, or
any of it's individuals.  But Luther did have a lot of good points.

If you want to pick on Luther, I hear he was quite obnoxious among his
contemporaries, and could even be nasty.  I also heard he drank a bit
much at times.

As for defending anti-semitism... I won't!

I have a very soft heart for Jewish heritage, and I too, hurt with their
suffering.

The following is from the Protevangelion of James, an apocryphal
gospel which was quoted as authoratative by a number of the early
Church Fathers.

14:13 Then the midwife cried out, and said, How glorious a day is
this , wherein mine eyes have seen this extraordinary sight!
14:14 And the midwife went out from the cave, and Salome met her.
14:15 And the midwife said to her, Salome, Salome, I will tell you
a most suprising thing which I saw,
14:16 A virgin hath brought forth, which is a thing contrary to 
nature.
14:17 To which Salome replied, As the Lord my God liveth, unless
I receive particular proof of this matter, I will not 
believe that a virgin hath brought forth.
14:18 Then Salome went in, and the midwife said, Mary, shew thyself
for a great controversy is risen concerning thee.
14:19 And Salome received satisfaction.

Marilyn and Fredric were killing time yakking about End Times are upon us!
Again.  And again.  And again.:


mb> They are required to have a year's supply of food so they can
mb> care for their family in case of a calamity of any kind (i.e.,
mb> prolonged unemployment, nuclear attack, famine, debilitating
mb> physical conditions, etc.).

FR> My family was told that the "end times" was almost upon us and at that
FR> time Mormons wouldn't be able to buy food or get water unless they
FR> "accepted the mark."  To address that fictional problem, they
FR> concocted the excuse of selling food, water, and survivalist equipment
FR> to members. 
FR> Now the Mormon cult houses I was dragged into might have been
FR> different ideologically or different in their methodology for selling
FR> the stuff yet you can't say that what I was told isn't used as a
FR> reason.  It most certainly is. 

I recall hearing that as, at least, the "official" reason....but my ex-roomie,
also a mormon, was more inclined to see it practically, as a means to be
secure during a crisis or emergency.

No Mormon-purchased "survivalist" gear that I knew of...but there was the
wheat, the canned goods, candles, blankets (old ones, not bought from the
LDS
church).

In fact, as a pair of single moms on a VERY limitted income, we dipped into
the food stash more than once and made sure to  keep it replenished.  I
don't
get as organized about it as she was, but i still feel far more secure knowing
i have food in the house.  And military families overseas are told to keep
a
"go-bag" packed with a limited version of the same - about a weeks worth
of
haulable supplies/food that can be grabbed on short notice in case of a
bug out.

>>> Part 1 of 2...

ALL and John were killing time yakking about HOLYSMOKE:

JJ> Hi Fellow  Christians.

JJ> This is what I propose. Let us put an end to the HolySmokers fun
JJ> by no longer posting here.

LOL! Taking your marbles and going home, huh?

JJ> There is nothing of fairness, objectivity,
JJ> or tolerance within this message area. The goal of the message base
is
JJ> only to ridicule and malign Christ and His followers. The only reason

Mmmm...no, it is to ridicule and malign anyone of any ilk that decides to
push their unevidenced OPINIONS on others and insist they have the right
to
do so without refute.  In the case of those proposing LEGAL requirements
to
act as though one agreed with those opinions, they are dealt with harshly.
If it seems that Christians are the sole target to you, that is perhaps
due
to the fact that so MUCH of Christian opinion includes the justification
for
and indeed, a MANDATE, to push those views and claim that detrimental effects
on them in THIS life are unimportant.

As to maligning Christ - what makes you assume that they buy into that as
a
legitimate title for the man who may or may not have existed a couple thousand
years ago?  One cannot malign what they do not believe in...certainly not
by
pointing out that they don't believe it. Or do you 'malign' the Easter Bunny
and Santa Claus?

JJ> the enemies of Christ post here, is to participate in the roasting and
JJ> ridicule, not because they are interested in any sort of dialogue or
JJ> debate with Christians. They are rude, closeminded and arrogant for

Oh, but there are many here who engage in both dialogue AND debate. If you
have not found it, it's because you have failed to offer anything worthy
of
either one.  Be real, now...what you are saying is that they won't begin,
as
you do, with an ASSUMPTION of the validity of Christ and work from there...
they make you TRULY start from scratch, and you aren't used to having to
think from outside the parameters of your faith.

JJ> the most part. To continue posting and "debating" with them is
JJ> tantamount to exposing the gospel to ridicule and destruction. To
JJ> continue to post is to exemplify the text which exhorts us not to
JJ> "cast your pearls before swine". 

And yet....you just HAD to to post this longish complaint letter to try
to get
the last word in...do you think you CAN quit? If so, why didn't you just
quit
downloading packets and shut up?  And why, if YOU no longer wish to participate,
do you desire to try to convince other believers into marching out with
you?
Such a herd mentality!

JJ> Jesse Jones, I know you mean well and think that somehow by your
JJ> presence here, that you will somehow touch their hearts, but no, this

No, he doesn't. Jesse has no desire to touch these hellbound hearts.  Like
many, he is here because it provides a place to say those things that would
not be "pretty" if said in our daily lives.

JJ> will not happen as long as you give them the opportunity to ridicule
JJ> your faith as a hobby. Absent yourself from them, be "set apart" from
JJ> them, and devote the time you used to spend composing messages to
JJ> them, to praying for them. You have been one of the most tolerant and
JJ> "persistent" Christians in here, but you are not given the least bit
JJ> of credence by HolySmokers. 

Christian tolerance = pronouncing the eternal damnation of those who disagree
with you...repeatedly? It included telling someone that their actions and
motives are worthless if not in accord with what one's own ego says is
worthwhile?  Interesting.

JJ> ALL CHRISTIANS UNITE....no longer post here...let the word be spread
JJ> through all the echoes...to all brothers and sisters...that henceforth
JJ> Christians will no longer post to HOLYSMOKE....and by doing so we will
JJ> bring about the demise of the beast that is devoted to bringing about
JJ> the downfall of the followers of Jesus...if such a thing were

Wow.  Bet the Holy Spirit was just coursing right THRU you while you typed
that! How ponderous can you get?

(PS: Note to Sean...PLEASE FAQ that statement of his!)

JJ> possible:-). After weeks or months of complaining to each other,
JJ> without any individuals to ridicule, they will eventually go the way
JJ> of the DoDo.

But, God sends us new fundies on a regular basis....the supply shows no
signs
of diminishing.

And between times, we always have the Colorado crowd! hehe

No, I don't think you can...it's been a long running matter of discussion

Hehe...oh, PLEASE spread the word far and wide...this will be fun.
Yes, such "boycotts" have always worked SO well for you....I've seen many

big
deal was. And in THIS case, you will attract more of the rabid fundies we

Years? YEARS?? Oh, I DO want to know what held YOU so long...I suspect you'll

No one can make a fool out of you without your consent. Quit offering such

As to bending...how much time, in these last few YEARS have you spent seriously

Tell that Spirit to lower the volume. You're getting hoarse.

Perhaps he needed to step away from having to defend every single thing

LOL! We're I a kept woman, I would INSIST on lots more baubles than I currently

I needed to extricate myself from a conversation here that had become
exsessively tedious, and in so doing wound up taking a breather for awhile
from the whole thing.

You can thank Katherine, Judith and a few others for insisting on gossiping
in IRC about the latest batch of wierdos - had to come see for myself. ;)

Delightful. Either it's something he would likely have said, fitting
the pattern of my take on the synoptic gospels, or it's something I
wishfully think he might have said (being somewhat of a fan and all).

Anyone is invited to call. The address is bbs.sbase.com. I've

a normal Fidonet BBS accessible via telnet.

DH>>>> Forcing people who want to die to stay alive. Why make sense?

RV> I was kind of looking at it as if legal for one group  ie: the old and

Oh, there is never any shortage of people who know better than others
how those others ought to live or die. When you count the number of
assisted suicides (even the number of suicides) it is a VERY small
part of the population. There are many more people talking about it
than are seriously considering it.

RV> It is what i would support, then like i also indicated. Even I, would
RV> find it hard to allow the young access to it and thats not being
RV> fair.

Do you think that's a similar phenomenon to the people who don't trust
the terminally ill to end their own lives?

RV> I've always wonder to myself, if i have the right to interfear in
RV> their life. They may have presented their wish to me  and
RV> if i happen to have turn them on their path, by accident i may turn
RV> them on a worst path. That is my biggest fear when this happens.

We are not that powerful that we are responsible for the lives of
others in such circumstances. If a person has been raised entirely
within an environment from which that person will choose death to
escape, one other cannot take responsibility for the choice of
direction at each corner. That childrearing will not be undone in
a few conversations. If we are the first positive presence in such
a tragic life, how could something we say cause a death if we are
acting without doubt in that person's best interest?

If we were to earn a trust and betray it, yes, that could mitigate
suicide. But that would take a betrayal.

not have a set of rules regarding medical waste. We don't want
ebola-infected amputated feet surfacing at landfill sites, now
do we? That's why hospitals have 800C incinerators and independent
clinics have contracts with them. What does this idiot think
happens to possibly infected needles? Ground into our Burger

Gun control here is simply a reflection of what the general
population wants. Anyone who really wants a gun can get one -
legally or not. Hunting and sporting are open to anyone who
wants to participate but they are simply not that popular.

We really don't have a strong division of classes here, which
I suspect keeps the motivation to take what others have at
a lower level than one might see in other places. If I were
black, living in a big city with restricted opportunity, 
despite being told by everyone that my opportunities were
the same as everyone else's, I could imagine that violence
might become part of my repertoire.

"Surprisingly, perhaps, for an age that was so familiar
with Latin and Greek, the six committees were instructed
to base their Authorized Version upon the previous
*English* versions, translating afresh, but also comparing
their work with the other vernacular Bibles, from Tyndale
to Parker."

_The_Story_of_English_, McCrum, MacNeil & Cran, 1986.

Further, (from the same reference) the Authorized version was
released in the same year Shakespeare wrote 'The Tempest'. The
vocabulary of the KJV was held dumbed-down to 8,000 words, while
Shakespeare used a vocabulary of 30,000 words, targeting the
same audience. The mandate of the KJV was that it be more poetic
than previous versions.

Actually, that's just about the only aspect of the Mormon
"lifestyle" that makes even a lick of sense. If you are willing
to devote the storage space to that food, your costs go way
down. It's much cheaper (about 50-20%) to buy shit by the case
instead of by the single consumer unit. Not only is it cheaper,
but you only have to go to the grocery store when you WANT to.

Myself, I live in an apartment; but I do buy NOODLES by the case.

Of course, leave it to the Mormons to screw up any good idea, even
if it's one of their own. The hoarding isn't done on a simple family
by family basis: it's overseen and managed so that one family ends
up with all the toilet paper and sanitary products, another with all
soap products, another with some other consumable.

Four more years! - Live with it!

DAVID RICE said "Marty knows everything" to DON MARTIN, adding: 

>DR> Already done, silly fundy. You have been hoised by
>DR> your own canard

DM> Leave his rubber duckie out of this. It is "petard" you
DM> are thinking of. And the verb is "hoist", just like with
DM> sails.

DR> I ran a "word search" on the words "lie" and "falsehood," 
DR> and the list included "canard," which I preferred. I have
DR> a long list of interesting words which I use in writing.

Be that as it may, one is ill-advised to misuse cliches in
writing. The original "hoist by his own petard" refers to a late
medieval/early renaissance sapping device for destroying the walls
of a beseiged town, and is the analogy of the bomber being blown up
by his own bomb. As such, it is more at home with ideas of
machination than with those of lying. I applaud your giving
delightful old words a new chance in the sun, but they are better
served when the chance is an accurate one.

Hail all!

You probably already know this, but Carl Sagan died early in the morning

on Friday 27.  According to our paper (he was a fellow resident of 
Ithaca) "He had been battling a rare blood disease known as 
myelodysplasia, a form of anemia also known as preleukemia syndrome".  
So it goes...

"The job is by no means done. We will look for the boundary between the

solar system and the interstellar medium and then we'll voyage on 
forever in the dark between the stars."
Dr. Carl E. Sagan 1934-1996

Without knowing a great deal more about bone density, muscle-to-fat

Look oh stupid one. You're the moron with the problem, not I! You

Agnosticism means to me, that one admits to being ignorant as far as 
knowing the Universe. Which is unlike atheism and theists who both 
claim they know the truth from totally relying on their sheer 
arrogance.

Poor Fredric the dumb ass! Evolution is a fact of life! As time

So asking whether evolution exists or not is a damn stupid question. 
Although asking where we originally came from is an intelligent one, 
you little dipshit. Why do you people act so stupid for? Were you

It's just common sense, Fredric the pea brain. DNA is a complex

somehow calls ourselves as intelligent beings. Well by your own

Oh poor Fredric. Why do you concern yourself with the basics? Why 
not ask why natural selection and mutation doesn't answer the 
question like how did life get started and why some species 
seemingly appeared without any links to natural selection or 
mutation?

Sorry, but the late Carl Sagan already got the Pulitzer Prize. I

ML> Quack a bit louder, Billyboy.

Poor Marty with his foolish blind faith. Still seeing shit that 
ain't there. How cute! Just like a fundy.

ML> Your inept dogmatism substitutes just fine.

What are these dogmatism substitutes Marty? Or is this just another 
example of you seeing shit that ain't there again?

BW> when in fact you have a shit load of them which contradicts 
BW> reality?

ML> I trust you have evidence to back up this idiotic claim.

I do so everyday my poor Marty. The problem is that your dumb and 
blind. It's time you stop denying your disabilities.

BW> Give me a break!

ML> Which arm?

It figures you are too stupid to know the difference between a 
figure of speech and a factual statement. Clearly you must indeed to 
be too stupid to start an intelligent conversation with. How sad!

ML> Sorry, it's physically and mentally impossible for me to lower 
ML> myself to your level.

BW> In your dreams perhaps. And the other meaningless personal 
BW> attacks were read and filed in the big bit bucket in the sky.

ML> Ah, the one between your ears.

Poor Marty, still playing out in left field and 180 degrees from the 
truth as he can get. Doesn't your denial of your stupidity problem 
ever bother you?

BW> I know I'm not a creationist, and I know you have your head up 
BW> your ass. And once again, you just don't know what in the hell 
BW> you are talking about.

ML> Wrong yet again, Billyboy. Your argument from ignorance is not 
ML> so much an argument as a further example of your ignorance.

My argument is in line with that of the late Carl Sagan, dipshit. 
It's time you deal with your denial, dumb ass!

BW> I personally don't know if a creator had 
BW> existed or not.

ML> Past tense? So, you believe a creator now exists.

No stupid Marty! I said it in the past tense to avoid confusion with 
morons who claims that God is dead. My conversation has nothing to 
do with such talk. My conversation has to do whether or not the 
Earth itself could of pulled off making life and creating all of the 
different species or not. Evidence suggest that the Earth isn't that 
gifted. And if it were, the evidence we have has holes that needs to 
be filled.

ML> That's the least of what you don't know.

BW> Poor Marty... the truth is that nobody knows.

ML> Perhaps. Some more enlightened individuals ignore such 
ML> supernatural nonsense and concentrate on reality...

BW> I'm not dealing with supernatural bullshit Marty. I'm dealing 
BW> with the Universe as a whole. And you dimwit, are viewing 
BW> reality as the Earth exists, but nothing outside does.

ML> I trust you have evidence to back up this moronic claim of 
ML> yours, don't you Billyboy? Or are you merely grasping at straws 
ML> yet again?

You are really stupid, aren't you dipshit? I see evidence that the 
Earth just isn't gifted enough to act alone. And yet when I side on 
the more logical approach and prove you to be a fool that you are. 
You pretend to believe I'm grasping at straws? How fundy of you. 
Denial is your speciality, isn't it?

BW> Both fact and theory? Please explain how a theory is a fact?

ML> Read a little closer you fucking idiot. You wrote (as noted 
ML> above) "Please explain how a theory is a fact". I never claimed 
ML> that evolutionary theories (plural, Billyboy) are fact; you 
ML> did.

Read again dipshit! I was asking you if you believe a theory is a 
fact. When are you ever going to get the story straight you damn 
moron!

BW> Oh I know the difference alright and I asked you to explain 
BW> something. But instead of answering it intelligently. You throw a 
BW> fit like a little child.

ML> Hardly. I responded in a way that I knew even a blightered 
ML> asshole like you could understand. Further, if you want to be 
ML> spoon-fed, go ask you keeper; instead of begging your betters 
ML> to explain all that you don't and can't understand.

Poor Marty! Clouded from heavy brainwashing and being a total 
ignorant old fart, foolishly believes that I'm a creationist and a 
fundy to boot. Like always, your never close to knowing the truth, 
are you, Marty the damn fool?

ML> So? The fact is we don't know...YET.

BW> Finally you admitted it after all of these years.

ML> I never claimed otherwise. If I did, provide some evidence. Put 
ML> up or shut up, Billyboy.

You admitted that I am a creationist and a fundy, like a damn liar 
that you are. So why pretend being something that you're not? You 
can't fool me, oh stupid one!

BW> Maybe you're not a total moron after all.

ML> Unfortunately we will never be able to say that about you.

Poor Marty has to be seeing images of himself in the mirror again. 
After all, that would explain the delusions.

ML> You're just like the God mongering morons of the middle ages. 
ML> We don't know what makes lightning. GOD DID IT! We don't know 
ML> what makes wind. GOD DID IT.

BW> Sorry dipshit. I haven't seen any God (or gods) and as far as I'm 
BW> concern, he, they, or whatever hasn't done shit.

ML> Sounds like you're projecting again, Billyboy.

Poor Marty sees God (or gods) again. I'm not an expert in your 
mental illness. But isn't it time for your straitjacket again?

BW> Yeah... just like your stupid labeling of individuals and you still

BW> can't even get it right yet.

ML> Yeah. Pull the other one, Mr. Factualist.

Poor Marty denial runs so deep.

BW> Your old theory is too short and 
BW> naive. Like it or not.

ML> Your "theory" isn't even a good guess, it is totally outdated 
ML> and has been debunked for hundred of years. Get your toes out 
ML> of your mouth and try reading a recent science text, Herr 
ML> Idiot.

BW> Oh... I assume you are referring to the biblical theory.

ML> Nope. Another erroneous assumption on your part.

Then please elaborate it for us Marty. I'm sure it will just turn 
out to be another classic case of your seeing shit that ain't there 
again like usual.

BW> Oh well, as probably stated previously, you have your head up 
BW> your ass again.

ML> Physical impossibility. Although I do sometimes wonder how you 
ML> manage to respire when your nose is nestled in your colon.

Poor old foolish Marty confuses a figure of speech again like a damn 
moron that he is. How cute!

BW> But you dumb stupid morons don't think logically, do you moron?

ML> I can't speak for "dumb stupid morons" (I would never even 
ML> begin to talk for you, Billydroid)...

BW> You're such a dipshit! You're doing it right in this very message.

ML> Nope. You need no assistance in speaking for you clan of "dumb 
ML> stupid morons"; you're a perfect spokesperson for that bunch.

Ah... the truth of what I'm saying is right even here in this very 
message. The problem is that you're just too damn stupid to see it.

BW> That's right, I have to deal with you children all of the time.

ML> Yet another inmate that believes he's a warden.

No my poor Marty. I see right through your bullshit!

BW> and you still project the old wishful theories of the ageless 
BW> ignorant.

ML> Such as? Evidence, moron. Put up or shut up.

I have time and time again. You're just too stupid to see it. Why do 
you continue to play dumb and stupid? And why are you in denial 
after all of these years?

ML> Your 'logical scientific method"? ROFL! I am amazed your 
ML> keyboard didn't self destruct rather than accept that load of 
ML> horseshit you dumped.

In your dream Marty, the damn lying ass fool!

BW> Ah... it figures you would take a figure of speak literally.

ML> A "figure of speak"? ROFL! You must really have your knickers 
ML> in a twist to royally fuck up so grandly.

It figures that poor Marty missed the whole point and grabs at a 
straw when he foolishly tries to turn this into a grammar debate. 
How fundy of you Marty, the damn lying ass fool that you are!

BW> So it appears, you're just as stupid as they are.

ML> ... Sad you don't even manage to come up to fundie level.

Sad that you are just too stupid to know the difference between a 
fundy and an agnostic. So your knowledge of fundy levels are 
nonrelative to the rest of us. Just face reality Marty, you're 
nothing but a fucked up moron. I suggest you finally deal with your 
denial problem.

ML> I have no beliefs and believe nothing. I'll leave that to 
ML> ignorant schmucks like yourself.

Oh poor Marty, how quickly you forget. You continue to ignore the 
fact that your faith states that I'm a creationists and a fundy. 
Your faith also believes that evolution answers everything, and 
believe it without question. Sorry Marty, you have been programmed 
to have faith in these things. Just like the fundies have faith, 
sorry to say poor old ignorant Marty.

ML> Nothing that you could possibly understand, at least.

You have time and time again, proved that you can't even align 
yourself with the truth. Try again, fool!

ML> "Fool hearted"? Watch it, Billyboy. You're clown suit's really 
ML> beginning to unravel now.

Poor Marty just keeps throwing out excuses for his denial problem. 
Someday you are going to have to face the truth. The longer you 
wait, the longer it is going to hurt. Although you could always take 
the shortcut and kill yourself. Then you would also learn what 
happens to us at death as well.

BW> that walks and talks like a fundy from the other side.

ML> I trust you have evidence for this, another is a long list of 
ML> your moronic claims?

Damn you are really dumb. Time and time I show you how you believe 
by faith, believe in your own lies, shown how you have been 
programmed well, and here you sit and deny hearing anything. Are you 
truly this damn stupid Marty? Or is this just great acting?

BW> Marty, when evidence uncovered by science itself leads to a 
BW> conflict with the articles of faith in their profession.

"Articles of faith"? And these are?

The current theories which are accepted by their faith you damn 
stupid moron! I swear you have no common sense at all. I can't even 
have an intelligent conversation with you because you are just too 
damn stupid to understand eve3n the basics. Damn you are so damn 
dumb. Maybe ending your life would be far better for you then living 
it out in total ignorance.

BW> It turns out that the scientist behaves the way the rest of us 
BW> do when our beliefs are in conflict with the evidence. They 
BW> become irritated, they pretend the conflict does not exist, or 
BW> they paper it over with meaningless phrases. Yes Marty, this is 
BW> exactly what you have done.

ML> Utter horseshit on so many levels. Science neither desires nor 
ML> requires beliefs. Your claim to the contrary is fallacious. 
ML> Strike one.

Pure bullshit Marty. My statement is almost a direct quote from 
Robert Jastrow, who is a scientist and was commenting on the 
evidence that pointed to the existence that the Universe was started 
with a big bang. And many astronomers fall into denial when the 
evidence aligned with the biblical view, rather than the old 
scientific theories which they wanted to prove differently.
