Ken Young said to Dan Ceppa about Most Read Book:

pa> And if you do your homework, you will discover most of
pa> the foundign father of the USA, were Christians..
ML>      Fleeing from Christian tyranny.
ky> Nope, but nice try..  Rather, they were escaping from 
ky> religious tyranny.
DC> And the perptrators of the religious tyranny where....
DC> 
DC> Xians!
DC> How about that, Ken.
ky> Keep on trying..  Maybe you'll get it eventually..
ky> (Though, I kinda doubt it.)

You shouldn't . . . he got it right the first time, as did
Marty . . .

ky> They were religious,

. . . like Xtians . . .

ky> going by some Judeo Christian beliefs,

. . . like Xtians . . .

ky> but were not necessarily Christians.

LOL . . . just because you say so?  Ergo, they WERE Xtians.
They may not have been GOOD Xtians, but they WERE Xtians.

ky> If it was to flee CHRISTIAN tyranny, then how come 
ky> many of those fleeing were in fact, Christians?

Different sects.

Ken Young said to Martin Goldberg about Exemplifying examples:

MG> Perfect?  Why does he starve people to death?
ky> I wasn't aware God did that..  People do that all on
ky> their own.

Those awful people, starving themselves to death and making
us worried, huh Ken?

What a stunning example of Xtian love you are.

Btw, WHICH God?

MG> Do they now?  What is it that they do to make weather 
MG> conditions so bad as to dry the land and prevent crops 
MG> from growing?
ky> This is Holy Smoke, not the Conspiracy echo..  :)

That you have no real answer to Martin's question is duly
noted.

ky> But God still lets it happen..  Maybe if we came 
ky> back to God, crops would do better..

But some of the people your Deity (who you still haven't
named, btw) is starving ARE Xtians!  And in the Bible there
are several instances of famines, etc., either caused by or
augmented by YHVH.  So why should anyone trust It now?

ky> I doubt very much if he is specifically keeping 
ky> food from people..
MG> Sure sounds like he is to me.
ky> Nope..

Oh, but it does sound like that to Martin.  Me too, as a
matter of fact.

ky> Except for maybe manna, I can't think of a use God has 
ky> for food..

Which God?  And if your Deity has no use for food, then why
doesn't It provide the food It doesn't need?  Selfishness?

MG> Btw, don't you have a middle name?  I'm too busy 
MG> laughing at your initials to post too much to you.
ky> YEah, Charles..   But, what could you possibly be 
ky> getting out of my initials?

Just that, aside from Butter-Flavored Crisco, you're the
lube of choice . . .

... So YHVH only gives food to Jews?

Ken Young said to Fredric Rice about Mormonism IS Christianity:

FR> And you're a willing part of the hate and bigotry that 
FR> Christianity is.  The KKK, Aryan Nations, Promise 
FR> Keepers, the Sword and the Cross, and every lunatic 
FR> self-professed "militia" in the United States are _all_ 
FR> Christian organizations, run and populated by Christians
FR> just like you.
ky> Gee, just when I figure you people can't be any more
ky> wrong, you go one better..

Well, you lead the way . . .

ky> First, militias are not for the Christians, alone.  Many
ky> Jews, Pagans, Atheists, etc. are in militias.  People from
ky> all walks of life are in them.  Are there any militias run
ky> by CHristians, and more for them?  SUre.. But there are
ky> those, for all, as well..

Really?  Name three.  And name your source for this info; is
it Militia Weekly or some other theme magazine?  Or just
your imaginatiion?

ky> ANd how anyone can put the word hate and Promise Keepers
ky> in the same sentence, is beyond me..

It's remarkably easy, as it is with other Fundy Xtian
organizations.  Consider:

"I want to be invisible.  I do guerilla warfare.  I
paint my face and travel at night.  You don't know
it's over until you're in a body bag.  You don't know
until election night."  -- Ralph Reed, Xtian Coalition

ky> They go too far the other way, actually..

Oh yeah?  Evidence?

ky> And seeing as the groups Hitler was in, were of the 
ky> Occult, it sure looks like he probably was too..

What groups were those?  And you're willing to give him
guilt of one kind by association only, yet ignore guilt of
his of another kind that is based on his own admissions?

Spin doctoring, I see.

ky> He worshipped Satan, not God.

Evidence of this?  And which God?  I have evidence of the
obverse:

"During World War II, while I was serving with the
Third Army in Germany, I removed a belt buckle from
the uniform of a dead German soldier.  The lettering
on the buckle read: Gott Mit Uns (God Is With Us)."
-- Kurt Vonnegut

So, got anything in writing from Hitler or his soldiers that
he was worshipping Satan?

Then why was he tried and sentenced?  And, btw, if he HADN'T
been crucified, Xtianity wouldn't exist today would it?  In
essence, you and every Xtian are dependent on the torture
and death of (by your own words) a blameless individual.
Real, true, Xtian love there . . .

Ken Young said to Martin Goldberg about Why do you NEED to be sav:

SS> Why does ANYONE need to be saved?  Please be specific.  I
SS> have yet to have a christian answer this simple question.
sh> Much the same answer as you would get to the question "Why
sh> does anyone need a liver?"
MG> Why do we need to be saved?
ky> Okay, you want to know why you need to be saved?  Really, I
ky> think the answer  is simple, but I will go on anyway..

So it should not be a problem for you to explain, eh?

ky> Simply put, you need
ky> to be saved so you will have everlasting life in Heaven.

Why would I want to go to Heaven?  Why can't I have
everlasting life here?  And how can I have life if I can
only get to Heaven by dying?

ky> To be saved is to be saved from your sins, which doom
ky> you to Hell.

Then I don't have to go.  I don't have any sins.  To have
sins, they would have to be real things, rather than
actions.  And since we understand (from Jimson Staalin,
among others) that sin was not created by YHVH, (though
supposedly YHVH created all things) but were rather actions
by others, I'm free of this need.  I have done no sins.

Looks like you're trying to create a need for a nonexistent
condition.

Ken Young said to Ronald Vass about Naked Pagan Rituals:

RV> * SLMR 2.1a * Dead Babies go to Hell. -- Psalms 58:3 --
ky> May be just a tagline, but I had to respond..  In my Bible
ky> it says: The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go
ky> astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

Then they're not guilty of sin while in the womb, and are
essentially sinless?

ky> Nowhere does it say babies will go to Hell.. Rather it is
ky> reemphasizing that we are born with a wicked nature..  But,
ky> babies do not go to Hell, simply because they are not at
ky> the age of accountability yet.

Great!  Then abortion is a good idea for those babies!  They
never sin, and they go to Heaven.  What could be better for
them?  Thanx for admitting this to us.

Guess what?  It IS a fake.  Not ONLY has it been radiocarbon
dated to about the 14th century or later, but we have
reports of the person who faked it!  The following was first
posted here by Don Martin this past July . . .

...     By 1357 the Lirey cloth, proclaimed to be Christ's
... burial shroud, was being exhibited frequently for fees
... to large crowds of pilgrims from all over, when a
... skeptical French bishop named Henri de Poitiers
... launched an investigation into its provenance. As
... reported by Henri's successor, Bishop Pierre d'Arcis,
... the result was that the exhibitions were stopped. But
... three decades later they started again, prompting
... Pierre to write a lengthy letter to Clement VII, the
... Avignon Pope, to counter "the contempt brought upon the
... Church" and "the danger to souls." The famous
... letter--the earliest known reference to the
... shroud--begins (in translation):
...
...     The case, Holy Father, stands thus. Some time since
...     in this diocese of Troyes the Dean of a certain
...     collegiate church, to wit, that of Lirey, falsely
...     and deceitfully, being consumed with the passion of
...     avarice, and not from any motive of devotion but
...     only of gain, procured for his church a certain
...     cloth cunningly painted . . .
...
... Pierre then describes the image on the cloth, which we
... today call the Shroud of Turin, along with the
... circumstances of the exhibitions and continues:
...
...     Eventually, after diligent inquiry and examination,
...     he [Henri de Poitiers] discovered the fraud and how
...     the said cloth had been cunningly painted, the
...     truth being attested by the artist who painted it,
...     to with, that it was a work of human skill and not
...     miraculously wrought or bestowed.
...
... Later in his letter,  Pierre states:
...
...     I offer myself here as ready to supply all
...     information sufficient to remove any doubt
...     concerning the facts alledged.
...
...     Clement considered the matter and issued a Bull,
... which, although allowing exhibition of the cloth,
... ordered that it be advertised only as a "copy or
... representation." However, this directive was gradually
... forgotten, and the proclaimed shroud came to be the
... most venerated relic in Christendom.
...
...         Mueller MM, The shroud of Turin: A critical
...         appraisal. The skeptical Enquirer
...         1982:7(3):15-34.

So, got any more LIES to share with us?  What a stunning
example of Xtianity you are!  Is Jesus proud of you for your
lying?

people that have done nothing to deliberately offend you.  This unmitigated
indignation that you express is unhealthy.  I realize that you may "think"
that speaking in such impertinent and impious terms from behind a keyboard
to
people that cannot or will not touch you is a good stress reliever.  Not
so.
In the long run it only does harm.  You are going to give yourself a stroke,
man.  Chill out.

I Corinthians:

13:4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

13:5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not
easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

I think he does.  Also consider this:

Job 20:5  That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the
hypocrite but for a moment

DC>"Poor taste"?  Seems like this fundy needs a bit of seasoning.
DC>From what I've read from him, the only thing small around
DC>here is his mind.


Don,

If you are actually his intellectual superior, why not impart wisdom to
him
instead of only showing vain contempt?

Proverbs 26:12      Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more
hope of a fool than of him.

In fact, why don't you show _all_ of us fundies a thing or three?

I Corinthians 3:18  Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth
to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he
may be wise.

Show for once, without profanity and meritless scorn how we _should_ think.

Proverbs 1:5        A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and
a
man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels:

Reveal this great life philosophy of yours that is suppose to be superior
to
God's own counsel.

Proverbs 13:20      He that walketh with wise men shall be wise: but a
companion of fools shall be destroyed.

The ball is in your court, Don.  If you are so intelligent, we will know
it
by the fruit of your intellect.  We will seek your counsel if you can teach
us instead of incessantly reviling us.

Ecclesiastes 2:16   For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of
the
fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to
come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise man?
as the fool.

Solomon is remembered for his wisdom.  How do you want to be remembered,
Don?
As it stands now, you will be remembered in here only as the man that cussed
out the Christians every chance he got.

Ecclesiastes 8:1    Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the
interpretation of a thing? a man's wisdom maketh his face
to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.

Let us see your face, Don.  Not the one that hides behind acrimonious
diatribes that are conducive to nothing.  The one that wants to really get
to
the matter of a serious intelligent exchange of thoughts and ideals.

Peace,
David Ragland

The _present_ Heaven won't last.  That is _really_ what this scripture
means.  If you want to learn how to interpret scripture instead of attack
it
out of fear, I can refer you to some good lesson sources.  In the meantime,
you are not showing yourself to be more intelligent that us fundies with
these thinly veiled attempts to discredit that which you know so little
of.
Why are you doing this?

Revelation 21:1     And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first
heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there
was no more sea.

And in case you need to know, all those were from a long TV special on real-life
miracles on TLC.  A little syrupy, but also a little hard to deny, since
they show before/after pictures (in the case of that swollen leg thing),
and talk to the doctors and scientists who couldn't explain the given miracle.

KY> May be just a tagline, but I had to respond..  In my Bible it says:
KY> The wicked are estranged from the womb; they go astray as soon as they
KY> are born, speaking lies.

KY> Nowhere does it say babies will go to Hell.. Rather it is
KY> reemphasizing that we are born with a wicked nature..  But, babies do
KY> not go to Hell, simply because they are not at the age of
KY> accountability yet. 

Oh? Where does it say that, exactly? Chapter and verse, please.

Because otherwise, it's just tradition, not Gospel. And the verse 
above would lead to dead (wicked) babies going to Hell.



Your next action will be to demonstrate the fundy shuffle for us.



... I know a good tagline when I steal one.

Ah, he's in damage control mode, that's all. I do know
what he's SUPPOSED to believe, and picking at the differences
is very helpful in breaking off chunks of the Armor.

MB> And, notice also how he chops off enough of the context so you

He can't fool me that way. I have my eye on him.

Al's quandary is in trying to start from "The Truth" and make
science fit it. It can't be done; the Universe is far stranger
than ignorant sheepherders could ever have imagined.

My hope is that he's honest enough to realize it eventually.

While i was out beating the bushs looking for a Harry Truman

a Mini van that was slipping down the side of another mountain
being assisted by a Harpy and an abacus.

What 'grabbed my chain' was your naked cruelty - but then you

This is only too true. BAIT is your prime mover, and SOUL seems
to be an alien commodity to you... regardless of how much you
hurt your correspondents. I will bet 'Empathy' and/or 'Draw the
Line' is not embroidered on any of your shirt pockets.

You got a good one there Dan. Al's God could let the bomber, make
and plant his bomb. Then when the bomber set it up, all the
'fineing tuneing god' needs to do is stop a simple chemical reaction.

No mind rape of bomber. No mind rape of victum. No damage done.

Kind of shows where Al's God really rides on this love and careing
jag that Al talks about.


{ God of Love And Respect } ---- Not a chance ----

"Now therefore kill every male among the little
ones, and kill every woman who hath known man by
lying with him. But all the women children, that
have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive
for yourselves."

No careing for the weak nor rapeing of the young.

A person who doesn't know of the difference between what humans call
a Gun and a Sword, usually it's a good sign of, Fundy lack of thinking.

So you have any Evidence that the god group had guns ? Fuck the guns.
How about gun powder.

For one, I don't think Mabon is a Calvinist. :) Also, articles appearing

That can be obtained. The evidence that I have seen suggests that in

surpasses that of the local public schools.

Why do you refer to yourself as such? Some sort of 'self-esteem'
problem? I have a song just for you. It is called 'Love yourself/Love
your neighbor' (c 1995 James N. Staal) It is very biblical and applies
righteously to your personality.

God'll get you for lying, John. I told you that a) there is no zero
year and b) the first year is year 1, of necessity.

And that's why you can't easily calculate the interval between
AD and BC years. You NEED the zero year.

Did Al ever answer your 'split brain' and how the 'soul' ties into
it. After all he is back to telling readers that the soul is

To you he may concede a point but by his actions, it would appear
that he's back to his old Al patterns of thought/bullshit. Same pattern
of behaviour as he's now, appearing to be heading down the road that
abuse has no effects on the victum mind again. It didn't stick or is

It's certainly the best earnest that they believe in what they are saying.
Now, Joan of Arc gave her life for her "voices". And I doubt if anyone
really doubts she heard voices, most would just assume  she was hearing
auditory hallucinations.  I incline that way myself.  But I doubt if too
many people think she gave up her life and was burned for the stake for
something she DIDN'T believe, correct?
But a SHARED hallucination? What is the mechanism that causes the
hallucination to be shared? You have just replaced one miracle or

Well...if you were God, what would you do in such a case? I have no doubt

allow you to do that to all crimes everywhere, at once, and forever.

Granted. The most powerful things are as powerful in their misuse as in
their use. Freedom is a powerful concept, and it has been used and
misused. Religion is even more powerful, both in its use and misuse.
It might be balanced against the female infants who were exposed to
infanticide in the classical pagan world....and who were instead allowed
to live under the Christian worldview. Over centuries, for over a thousand
and a half years.

One who refuses to take away volition and impose His will on another,

It is neither "wonderful" or "OK". But one doesn't kill to prevent

yourself.

I've specified them over and over again, Robert. Loss of initiative. A
feeling of being trapped, of living in a divine police state, a
supernatural theocracy which can never be overthrown. Loss of true freedom
of thought and action, for fear that it would go against a Big Brother who
you can never escape and never thwart.

RC> Bullshit, and you know it, Al.

No; enormously true. Would you trade the freedom we enjoy in America for
a
well-run police state, where every room is observed by cameras, and any
infraction will be dealt with immediately? Say, Orwell's 1984? I imagine,
with the big TV/screen/cameras, that child abuse was at a minimum in
Orwell's society. I wouldn't.

RC> would be chargeable with child abuse by your own ethical standards.

Then we must charge the goverment for not installing cameras and
punishment devices into every home which would prevent 99% of child abuse?
In your own words...
RC> Bullshit, and you know it,
Robert.  Will you charge the entire Congress, the Presidency, and the
Judicial Branch, for not allowing such?

RC> So you have to weasel your way out by appealing to supposed "enormous

Oh, He can HANDLE them well enough...while robbing us of everything that
would make us human.

That's presupposing a biology can arise at ALL. That's the interesting
assertion. You are in effect saying that no matter which constants arise,
there is a class of possible biologies under that different class of
constants. It's that assertion I question, as unevidenced and unsupported.

We can make an informed speculation, though.

AS> You first.

RC> about the possibilities for infinitely many "alternate universes," Al.
RC> That would be, let's see, YOU.

No, YOU are the one CLAIMING to know that in alternative
constants-cosmoses biologies are possible. By what criteria are you making
that assertion?

RC> What I am saying is:

RC> (1) You are full of shit, as you have no actual data.

We have reasonable extrapolation from known data. At least 700 pages of
it
in the ANTHROPIC COSMOLOGICAL PRINCIPLE. Among others.

RC> (2) Naturally, changes in physical constants would change any possible
RC> biological systems, perhaps even allowing for some to exist that
RC> are quite unlike anything we know. To claim you know intelligent
RC> life any any kind whatsoever would be impossible is ridiculous.

In a universe that recollapsed in a month's time, for instance? It is you
who are clinging fundy-like to a belief in invisible pink hippos in
alternative constant-comoses which MAY exist...and unable to provide a
plausible mechanism for same.

He doesn't do logical impossibilities, no. Nonsense is still nonsense,
even if humans put "God can" in front of it.

Why bother? Even if He was bound by such constraints, putting it somewhere
else closer to Pluto would be even more efficient.

I wish I could say the same for you.

Logical ones? Certainly. I don't think God can make valleys without
mountains,either. Certainly the above is just an extrapolation.

Does He subscribe to Omni? Jan, the idea that God can do everything but
the logically impossible is an old Christian position, as old as Aquinas
at least.
