Some days I think.... vertical would be nice. But then I slap myself and return to horizontal as God would of [sic] wanted it.

Please, this thread is all a big troll joke. Did you actually read it?
Quote: "[edit] Before he decided to murder them for not obeying him. From a Catholic persepctive, the extinction of the dinosuars makes a lot of sense. How often did the dinosuars recieve the blessed sacrament? Go to communion? Have a devotion to the Blessed Mother? Attend mass, or even thank God for the love and blessing he gave them?"
Quote: "Luckily God made a new race [edit]".
Talking about murdering disobedient dinosaurs, then making humans as the replacement race. Which part do find even in the most remote way sincere? Where is the crisis? Where is the pain? Where is the cry for help? I see none of it. If you can produce anything you believe is convincing from the OP post, I'll be glad to listen.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

It's a troll and he's changing his claim with every thread he opens. What gives you the impression, he's indoctrinated? The nature of the troll is to stir up shit. That's what he does and I've certainly seen much better.
Have you seen him engaging in any discussion? He just opens his threads and then he sits back and rubs his privates while some people take him seriously. Sometimes he comes back to whine about people being nasty or using nasty words. But that's about it.

All his threads are like that. If I see true christian opened a new one, I know there'll be the contents of a toilet inside.

I would, but for the fact that he gave only reasons for wanting to join the club, citing better people than himself, without one word on why he doesn't believe the shit which he has been spewing for the past three months. Also, his manner of posting really is consistent with a delusional personality problem - do you really want to deal with that? Whatever he's up to with this thread, it's best not to encourage it unless we get a sincere apology for all that Poe bullshit he's been throwing about here. I think he belongs in a mental hospital, with highly restricted internet access.
Mr. Hanky loves you!

You're awful sweet. I suppose it's possible. Just not particularly likely.

An argument could be made that he was deist, but no more.

Oh, so we've reached the point where you're going to stop pretending so that you can start posting as yourself? This is a cover for that, no?
Well, well, well. AF is now so fucking awesome that even the Poes are thinking of giving up the Poeing to join our awesome forum!
Either that or he's just being a twat again and his next thread will be "I've Found Christianity Again!"
