Although that I agree with the general theory that ownership of

I do believe you don't think -- ever.

I do believe you have made comments about homosexuals that are
homophobic.  Here's a few reminders.

I am condemning no one. The homosexual who sexually practices
his homosexuality condemns himself." - Jim Staal

"I have less tolerance for pagan women because they seem
to particularly lack respect for men and thereby depart
from God even further than do pagan men." - Jim Staal

I must say you must live on a pink cloud to have let yourself been
deluded by these women. Their general purpose here has been clear to
me from the beginning:  they hate men in general, and Christian men
in particular. - Jim Staal (Promise Keeper) HolySmoke, December 1996

...there is no life on other planets. If there were, the Bible
would have mentioned it. - Jim Staal (he's serious, by the way)

I reiterate what Fred said about you back on January 15, 1997:

Bathroom Staal continues to be one of the most evil and
filthy participants ever to grace us with his lunacy.

Why was this disciple mentioned as the one "Jesus loved" in

Oh, I thought so.  Jim says so, so it must be.  How about that!

Didn't they practice these acts of terror in the name of their

So the acts didn't happen now?  You are the one that claims they

of anyone who claims to be a Christian practicing such acts?

Further, where is your public education to stop these events
happening again by telling all that Christians should not be
terrorists?

Your Christian brothers expouse that these men are "Christian
Heroes".  What are you doing to debunk and expose these preachers
as being hateful?

How typical for someone so erudite as you to not be able to read
a sentence and comprehend it.  Some remedial comprehension is
required for you.

But so that Jimson "4th-grader" Staal can understand, Mr Cubby
will put it in really small words so you can possibly comprehend
it:

The government automatically excludes any person from
choosing a spouse from half the population.  You, I, all
of us are denied the opportunity and *freedom* to choose
to marry someone from the approx. 50% of the population
who may just happen to be of the same gender.

This is discrimination.  Further, this discrimination has
been proven to have no legitimate legislative end, and
further, in *two* jurisdictions now, is discriminatory on
the basis of sex.

If the state cannot prove a compelling reason to
discriminate, it must stop doing so.  If it can, it must
write the laws so that the law allows as many people the
freedoms to marry that they wish, and only discriminates
where proven compelling and necessary.

The compelling state interest requirement normally means
that the state has an interest in overriding personal
freedoms that is unique and fundamentally important,
such as the physical defense of the state from foreign
attacks, the defense of the economic system of the
state, and other such overwhelming and fundamental
state interests.

Denying any man the right to marry any other man (or
denying a woman the right to marry any other woman) has
been found to be unjust, as there is no compelling state
interest that requires their freedoms to be quashed in
favour of the compelling state interest.

This is the basis of the case Baehr v Lewin (HI Supreme
Court, May 1993) and Baehr v Miike (HI 1st Circuit Court of
Appeals, December 1996) which was where the case was
remanded to be heard again to see if the state had any
compelling state interest.

The state claimed that the compelling state interest was
"parenting" and "childrearing" and that the optimal
environment for raising a child was with the biological
mother and father.

If this was a compelling state interest, the laws would
have to be amended to allow for anyone to marry anyone
else of any gender still.  It would also allow the state
to invalidate any marriage where a partner in the
marriage had a child, and the married partners were not
the biological parents of the child.

Further, if the compelling interest were true, the state
would disallow single parents the right to remarry until
their child had reached the age of self-determination.

After all, they claimed child raising was a state
interest so compelling that it should override personal
freedoms.

Of course, it was not found to be a compelling state
interest.

The case is now on appeal back to the Hawaii Supreme
Court.  The state cannot appeal the finding that the
law is sex discriminatory.  The state cannot appeal the
finding that they have the burden of proof to prove that
there is a compelling state interest.  Nor can they
appeal the need to provide a compelling (rather than
rational) state interest.

The only thing they can appeal is that the lower court
judge in December 1996 "got it wrong".  I think you will
find that the appeal will fail, given that the burden
of proof was on the state, the state's witnesses all
DISAGREED with the state, and hence their side faltered.

And if the state just happens to win, well, we start a case in
yet ANOTHER state with an ERA amendment to their constitution,
and cite Baehr v Lewin as a citation.

There are many more ERA states :)  California will probably be
the second state challenged if Hawaii fails.

and lower court ruling, I can provide them." Swift :)

Why doesn't it?  Because you claim so?  He is a Christian, he
claims so.  Pastors around the country claim he's a hero and a

What do you say to that?  What are you doing to expose these

He was a church-goer.  He believes that Jesus Christ died for his
sins, and to save him.  He professes that he's a follower of
Christ.  Your bible claims that such a person is a Christian.

Just because he sinned and murdered a few people, doesn't
invalidate the fact he's a Christian.

You Christians claim that when someone murders, yet claims Christ
as their saviour, that they have been "converted".  Why don't you
claim that such people are Christians if they get converted

It was an act against patrons of a gay nightclub, Jimson.  You
know that.  You claim to follow the news.  The second bomb that
was found was aimed to attack rescue workers.

The same modus operandi was used in the abortion clinic bombings
in Atlanta.  The first to kill and terrorise people at the
clinic.  The second (which did detonate) to try and kill and
terrorise the rescue workers.

What cowardly Christians, to not only attempt to exact justice
(in the name of Jesus) against sinners, but against the innocent
rescue workers.

JS>  RS> Are you such a moron that you can't even see these occurences are

All the perpetrators are Christians.  They were Christians prior
to the acts (they claimed that they loved Jesus with all their
heart and that Jesus died for their sins -- your bible says
that's what a Christian is), they were Christians during the
acts, and Christians after the acts.

They targetted individuals and groups of people based on the fact
that the groups they targetted were enemies of the Christian
right in the United States.

They performed domestic, Christian-inspired terrorism against
enemies of US Christianity.

It was Christian domestic terrorism.

Your unevidenced denials do not invalidate this reality and fact.

No.  All those who have studied a basic course in argumentative

You cannot, as you are trying, use the bible to prove God, and

No we weren't.  We were discussing US secularly-written and

You clearly stated that homosexuals having sex is none of your

be saying openly that homosexuality is OK, and hence you
disagreed with removing the laws.

Firstly, your answer is wrong.  Secondly, you failed to provide

who does not believe in YOUR particular God is "afraid to admit
His existence"...

I offer you the chance to again put up some wacky theory and make
some benign and ignorant claim, thereby proving how stupid you
really are :) :)

Ironic really.  When Jimson was asked about Christian domestic
terrorism, he claims that the perpetrators aren't *real*
Christians.  I wonder...  If I asked some other Christians if Jim
was a real Christian with his hateful views, I wonder if they'd
deny him being a *real* Christian?

It is nice to know that you now admit that you did misquote the
guy and claim that ALL (and I'll use your 3000-4000 figure) of
them were "healthy foetuses in healthy mothers"...

It's nice to know you now admit I was right in correcting you and
stating that Mr Fitzsimmons claimed that only the *number* that
he had testified about was wrong, but the situations under which
each of these 3000-4000 (if we use your claimed figure) was
undeniably unviable foetuses or life-threatening to the mother.

BTW, I just want to remind you of something you once said,
Jimson, and why you are now no longer following it.

Back in late July, or early August 1996, you said:

So, in the issue of abortion, do you think that (and I've put the
explanations in brackets):

"Folks (women) gotta right (have a right) to do to
themselves what they want (to choose abort a foetus)
as long as it affects me in no way whatsoever (as
long as it does not affect Jim Staal whatsoever)".

That is, do you think that:
"Women have a right to choose to abort a foetus as

Please, do answer honestly if you support a woman's right to
choose, especially given your broad statement of 6 months ago
that you support individual freedoms and liberties.

The fact that he didn't answer some of the more horrendous
Christian acts of terrorism against the rights of gay people was
even more appealing than this case of bigoted intolerance.

I asked him plainly that if he had a choice of two day care
centre employees -- one a gentle, loving and kind lesbian and
one a male convicted wife beater, child beater and murderer -- which
would he choose to look after his kid.

I'm still waiting for his hypocritical response.

I'm certainly shutting up.  Does ANYONE like what Jimson says?

I was making the comparison in another post.  Jimson claims that
the Christian domestic terrorists are not real Christians.  He
uses this cop-out excuse to claim that the acts aren't Christian
domestic terrorist attacks.

I wonder what other Christians would say of Jimson if they saw
his hateful diatribe in this echo?  Would they say he is "false
Christian scum(tm)"? :) :)

Maybe we should recruit some more Christians to judge Jim.  Why
should we have all the fun? :) :)

This would bring a bit of gender parity into the household.  As
we all know, Wilbur already wears the PANTS in the family.

Hence, him wearing the dress will bring gender balance back to
neutral.

You have 96,968 prisoners total to divide among the following groups:

Adventists
American Indians
Atheists
Baha'i
Buddhists
Catholic
Church of Christ
Hindu
Jehovah's Witness
Jewish
Krishna
Moorish
Mormons
Muslims
Nation (?)
Orthodox
Pentecostal
Protestant
Rasta
Santeria
Scientology
Sikh

No Preference   13,878
Unknown          4,503

I've given you the statistics that 13,878 of the prisoners did not
give a religious preference, and 4,503 prisoners were unknwon.

That should leave you with about 80,000 to spread across the above
groups.

Well, Jimson was doing the spindoctoring on the claim.  All
Fitzsimmon's said was that he lied about the number of abortions
carried out late-term.  Jimson made the claim that they were
healthy foetuses inside healthy mothers.  This claim was false.

Rod "...anyway, about 3000-4000 late-term abortions in the US per
annum of non-viable foetuses or to save the mother is about
right.  In WA, we have about 350 per annum, for a population of
about 1.2 million people" Swift :)

See, this is the lie.  He claimed 3000-4000 late term,
PARTIAL-BIRTH abortions a year involving HEALTHY MOTHERS AND
HEALTHY FOETUSES.

The newsbyte I got was that only the number was lied about.
Jimson spindoctored the claim into being 3000-4000 "children
being murdered" by adding the claim that each of the 3000-4000
abortions was of a healthy foetus in a healthy mother.

BTW, I remind you of what Jimson said back in July/August last
year:

JS> Folks gotta right to do to themselves what they want as long as it
JS> affects me in no way whatsoever...

Call him on it.  Abortion does not affect him whatsoever.  He is
pro-choice, and admitted so last year :)

DC>How many 12 year old rape victims did you execute during 
DC>your sabbatical?  

As is typical you liberals have to distort the truth to 
make your view look good. To begin with most abortions
are not a result of someone getting raped. I'm quite
sure of that. I'd wager a majority of abortions are a
result of some teenager getting pregnant fooling around
with her boyfriend. At any rate, what justification is
there for making the unborn child die because someone
had illicit sex? That should be called murder, pure and
simple. The only time an abortion should be justified is
to save the life of the mother. But to those who think
life is cheap killing an unborn child means nothing.
Those who do so other than for the reason above should
be considered murderers and pay the consequences. So
don't be bandying about totally stupid and ridiculous
distortions of the truth like you do above. All you do
is make yourself look just as stupid and ridiculous.

DC>... They were HOMOS!  God was justified to kill them.  
DC>    per Ken Weins

To begin with you spell my name wrong. Secondly, you
claim I said something I never said. I thought that
was forbidden in this Conference.

To set the record straight. I think there will be
HOMOS in heaven. Why? Because being a HOMO (whether
one is born one or one by choice) does not send
one to heaven or hell. It is living a lifestyle 
where one regularly engages in such acts without
stopping the practice and repenting that will 
send one to hell. Learn to distinguish the 
difference. The New Testament says those who
engage in such acts as a regular lifestyle will
not see the Kingdom of Heaven, not those who
happen to be HOMO. Being born with the inclination
is not going to send anyone to hell. Just as
being born with an inclination toward illicit
sex will not send someone to hell either. I'm
not sure you will comprehend any of this. But 
I had to try.

FR>Gee.  Just like Mithra 380 years before the Jesus mythos.   
FR>Looks like another god beat yours to the punch, dear.

Not hardly. As Dr. Ronald H. Nash observes:

"Allegations of an early Christian dependence on 
Mithraism have been rejected on many grounds. Mithraism
had no concept of the death and resurrection of its
god and no place for any concept of rebirth-at least
during its early stages. Whereas other mystery cults
had a cyclical notion of life=death-rebirth based on
the vegetation cycle, the Mithraic view of history
was linear, not cyclical. During the early stages of
the cult, the notion of rebirth would have been foreign
to its basic outlook. If rebirth appears at all in the
cult, it was a late addition...Perhaps the most important
argument against an early Christian dependence on 
Mithraism is the fact that the timing is all wrong. The
flowering of Mithraism occured after the close of the 
New Testament canon, too late for it to have influenced
the development of first-century Christianity." page 
147 of "Christianity & the Hellenistic World" by
Ronald H. Nash. Zondervan Publishing House. Grand
Rapids, Michigan. 1984.

FR>Might I suggest you learn the origins of the Jesus myths? 

I strongly suggest you learn something substantive and
scholarly about the subject first.

does not determine level of intelligence or even level of
education. There are nut cases in any group, believers and
non-believers. There are those who are smart and dumb
among believers and non-believers. IMV, the smarter ones

JS>Had the same problem (surgery did nothing to relieve the

Surgery seems to have helped in my case to a certain 
extent. Before the surgery I could type for a few minutes
and both hands would go numb. Now I do not have the numbness
problem. But I do still have tingling intermittently. The
doctor released me after nearly six months to go back to
work with no restrictions but there still being disability
factors involved. I still experience pretty severe inflammation
at times. He said that if symptoms return in eight months then
he would put definite restrictions on my typing. So, we'll  
see. The insurance company handling the claim tell us we
will be receiving a settlement offer. But if we accept that
that closes the case and I can no longer make any claims
based on that injury.

Do you have an email internet account? We can talk via 
email if you do. Mine is at the bottom of all my messages.
Let me know.

found guilty executed. That is history. And as you

that has happened is a conflict with some other utility

Problems as a result of tinkering with the hardware is
another matter.

useful each time. Still, my wife is not impressed.

KW>It does make you wonder about just what it is that

KW>Well, the descriptions that these fundies tend to give of
KW>their partner are, well, colorful at the least and down right
KW>scary in many cases.

Ok. I'll try to prove the exception to the general rule.
I've been married nearly 23 years. My wife's name is
Evelyn. I call her Evy. Half her ancestry is from
Norway the other half from England. She is blond and
blue eyed and not a pound overweight. She is also very
bright and highly educated. She graduated both from
high school and college summa cum laude. If she has a
fault it is that she is too perfectionist. She majored
in Language Arts with an emphasis on Hellenistic Greek.
Later she earned her ART certificate (I forget exactly
what that stands for execepting that it qualifies her
to run a Medical Records Department). She did this while
working full time and helping to raise our two children.
She is quite an achiever.

She tends to be shy around strangers but always more
than ready to help someone who asks for help in any
way. She is very friendly. Once in awhile that Viking
blood in her boils up and I'm usually the recipient 
of the forthcoming wrath (deserving most of the time).
She made employee of the month at the hospital she
works at a few months ago. She has been there since
1981. She has complained about another lady at work
who is always broadcasting the fact she is a christian
while at the same time cheating every day on her
time card. My wife and some other ladies confronted
her and reported her cheating to the boss finally.
So, she has a strong sense of moral right and wrong.

What else can I say? I hope this somewhat breaks
the pattern you allude to above. 

KW>We've got one married to a Wilber, another who's married to
KW>a blow up doll, and the occasional Maria Russell wandering 
KW>through to remind us that such oddities do really exist.

I don't doubt this. I've certainly met some of them over
the years.

KW>But for all of their 'xtianity', they also can't seem to
KW>resist following Lynda around begging her to spank them. . .
KW>much to Lynda's bemusement.

You know, I followed the link from your Web site to

DC>Bullshit, Kenny.  Your "godling" Jesus said that he "came not 
DC>to change one dot or tittle of the law."  

He was correct. He fulfilled that Law 100% too. He was
the first and only One able to do so.

DC>Your dogma does not come from your godling but by the true 
DC>founder of your religion, Saul.  

Odd, then, that Peter and James and the others also agree
with Paul at the Jerusalem Council as detailed in Acts 15.
The founder of my religion is Jesus Christ Himself. You've
decided to follow some modern myth about the founding of
Christianity. And that is all it is, a silly myth.

Therein is a core precept.  The 'entire' problem centers on what may be

considered "real" and what may not.  In that sense, you're right.
It remains inescapably (if metaphysically) true that a dimensionless 
point is more of a THING than NO thing at all....

I'd have to agree.  Been 'hanging around' creationists in general too 
long.  Wasted lots of time thereby.  (But found out all their ludicrous

arguments, so if knowledge for knowledge's sake is worthwhile, it was 
useful, and now I can detect a cretinist sophistry without hardly 
thinkin' about it.)

I just feel, in much the same sense, that I have been hangin' around 
"dimensionless" for so long now that I _don't_ have trouble 
understanding it.

I see.  You do not consider a concept, compared to nothing at all, to be

(But before you do, recall that a concept has a physical analogue:

Robert, I have computer access to every card catalogue in town, (St, 
Louis), including both major Universities.  Do you suggest that these 
books would NOT be listed in the schools' library online _card_ 
_catalogues_???

My local (county; small branch) librarians are so used to me using the 
interlibrary loan system to drag off-the-wall specialized books outta 
downtown and the Universities that they supply me with interlibrary loan

request forms for me to take _home_ and fill out when I need to.
Don't for a minute think I don't know what I'm doing.  The SysOp of my 
host system is one of the librarians for the University of Missouri.  If

I could get them easily, I would have them by now.

IOW, there isn't any librarian to _ask_, without me driving down there 
and doing _exactly_ the same damn thing physically (and getting myself 
asked if I'm a student or not, thus running into 'restrictions')....  
Only if there are books NOT LISTED in the computer database, would 
physically going downtown (fifty miles or so) produce anything other 
than the online catalogues would.  (These were also not in the St. Louis

County library system, but then, neither were most of the others by 
those authors.)

(It's interesting: I _cannot_ take any of those books off-campus 
physically; and some they won't even check out to me in person, but 
there seems to be no problem _sending_ them to me via the interlibrary 
loan system....  Fascinating anomaly, and I would surely not do 
_anything_ to disturb it.  (*grin*))

I have _never_failed_ to find a somewhat obscure book at one of the 
University libraries before.  That is, in fact, how I had to get 
Conway's _Sphere_Packings,_Lattices_and_Groups_, since the "public 
library" just does not carry it, or indeed, carry a decent percentage of

the off-the-wall books I ask for.

Now, are you telling me that those two are _so_obscure_ that the 
Washington University Olin library would either 1) not have them listed

in the online catalogue or 2) have them sequestered away under lock and

key as 'rare books' accessible only through the human librarian? (??!)

(I don't for a _minute_ believe Wash. U.'s library is not up-to-date, or

that _every_book_ (older than, say, a few months) it has is not in the 
online catalogue.  It's the SAME catalogue that students and professors

use at the terminals physically inside the library building.)

Now revise your comment, please, or provide me with the name of an 
interconnected _national_ interlibrary loan system participant library 
in which you _know_ those two books are located.  There are ways (not 
_easy_ ways, but ways) to get books sent across state lines that way, 
and I can perhaps pull in a favor or two....

I wrote one to Lynda (Bustilloz) suggesting that instead of handing her

three-year-old the blocks one-by-one, she lay them in a line on the 
floor and ask the kid to count them, _including_ a non-block space, and

see if it made any sense to the kid.  She hasn't answered yet....

(It's impossible to count blocks, starting ON some block and passing 
through the zero point, and get the right answer iff there IS a "block 
called 'zero'" in the line.)

To wit:

B  B  B  B  B  ['zero']  B  B  B  B  B
1  2  3  4  5     6      7  8  9 10  11

(*Not!*)

What whole integer equals the number of blocks between -5 and +5? 
It sure as hell ain't _eleven_.

[-5,+5] =/= 11.

If someone pulls my string over and over again, like a dog worrying a
