... if I ever emigrate to America I'd head for the nearest gun shop the instant I stepped off the plane..

As a Brit, I heartily approve of your decision to depart these shores.

[Minimalist]

If I could tool up I would, but here in Britain guns are almost totally banned (sniffle).

What a great idea for keeping guns out of the hands of fucktards like you.  We should try that.

...Real weapons too scary for ya?...

If I could tool up I would, but here in Britain guns are almost totally banned (sniffle).
Anyway I've got "bad paper" against my name (I was once jailed for 3 months on a vigilante rap) so if I tried to get a gun now I'd end up back in the slammer.
I'm a-tellin you boy, if I ever emigrate to America I'd head for the nearest gun shop the instant I stepped off the plane..

PS- speaking of "scary", it seems some of the pics I've posted in AF have scared some members real bad and I've just been warned by female mod Losty not to keep doing it.
Huh, and I thought you atheists were supposed to be tough..

Airsofting is fun. I go here.





and here.





And here.

Sorry we can't all be pretend bad-asses like you.

Pretend? Moi?
Here's where I was incarcerated, it's the same jail that once held the Great Train Robbers and Mad Frankie Fraser, and 23 people have been hung by the neck there, so that gives me bragging right for life..

Nothing to do with being scared, tough guy. Check the Rules on graphic content - Rules to which you agreed when you signed up here.

We holy men don't do "rules"..
"The Lord made my mouth a sharp sword,an arrow in his quiver" (Isaiah 49:1/2)
In fact my fans around internetland are placing bets among themselves how long it'll be before I'm banned from this atheist forum..
PS- They used to try introducing me to various churches and place bets how soon I'd walk out, I think the longest I stayed was 10 minutes and as I got up and headed for the exit they rofl'd with cries of "There he goes!"..

I bet that scared the shit out of you, if it haven't, well you know what's coming should you continue.

I can't figger why women don't seem to like me, I once bought a ladyfriend a 'Naughty Nursie' uniform but she refused pointblank to wear it..

I used to think Airsoft was just another name for Paintball but then I heard Airsoft use plastic pellets instead of paint.
So how do you know if you've hit somebody?

"The Lord made my mouth a sharp sword,an arrow in his quiver" (Isaiah 49:1/2)

"Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended. For the one in authority is God’s servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer. Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience." (Romans 13:1-5)

You will "do rules" while you're here, Dipshit. If you want to stay here.

In fact my fans around internetland are placing bets among themselves how long it'll be before I'm banned from this atheist forum..

I am going to make myself very clear - if and when you are banned, it will be because of your own actions. Let your fans - both of them - know that it will have nothing to do with you being too scary for us. Capisce?

I can't figger why women don't seem to like me,

Yeah, it's a real mystery...

I once bought a ladyfriend a 'Naughty Nursie' uniform but she refused pointblank to wear it..

What, not your mum's size?

Thanks, if I ever I do go to America I'll hope to shack up with a woman like this one, she can rope me, throw me and brand me any time she likes..-

That verse you quoted in red was simply Paul wisely reminding the small Christian community in Rome itself  to keep their heads down!
Elsewhere he's quite specific that Christians are at war with the world in a spiritual "clear the swamp" sense-
 "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil.." (Eph 6:12)
As for me "wanting to stay here", I've got neutral feelings about it just like I've always had neutral feelings about every forum I've ever been in over the past 15 years, I'm either banned on rare occasions (in which case it boosts my street cred with my fans), or else I simply move on when I feel the calling, it's what we holy men do..

I don't care who said what about anything in that ridiculous book. As far as this community is concerned, however, you will abide by the Rules to which you agreed when you signed up here, or you can leave. This is not up for debate.

He could be a deist. That's not so much of a contradiction. As long as he doesn't think scriptures are authoritative, it's an unusual position but not outside the bounds. Freethinkers aren't required to be atheists, though most of them are.

It's not just about scriptures. Anything or anyone who claims to be an authority of something or anything should be questioned. It just so happened that I am on a personal mission to truly find out if my Faith in God is really justifiable or not. Why do you think that in spite of decades of debates and presentation of facts there are still atheist and theist? People will believe what they want to believe and stick with it no matter what because of pride, ego, ignorance, arrogance or self righteousness. I am aware of these things and am hoping not to succumbed to these things.

I thought I could find the answers here. Unfortunately, the Atheists I have encountered are similar to the bible thumpers and self righteous believers I have met. I don't want to generalize all Atheists but I feel it might take me a while to find the right people. Unless you can recommend someone who is really open minded and a free thinker and is willing to share their knowledge or insight, it would be my great pleasure and I will be grateful.

Can't disagree with any of this.  Well said.

A word of advice though, don't argue for your bonafides.  Let them come indirectly and over time as people see how you express yourself on various points.

I personally don't have any doubt that a person can't be both a free thinker, rational and a believer.  Though, if their belief is anything off the shelf where they wind up accepting the dogma of any organized religion whole cloth .. I will be very skeptical.

Thank you Whateverist and thank you for the warm welcome on the other post. It's not just about scriptures or dogma. I am the type of person who will question anyone or anything who claims to be an authority of something that must be followed. Also, to be honest, I should have mentioned in my post that I just researched the reply that you have commended from the internet because I want to come up with an appropriate response. I apologize if I mislead you or the persons I sent that message to. I don't mean any disrespect to anyone here. I am really here to learn not to educate or debate. At the same time, If I think that a statement is false, I will courteously point it out and work it out with that person unless his mind is closed.

Your advice is sound and I really appreciate it. Although it is understandable that people will have an initial animosity towards me because of my beliefs I hope that they would cut me some slack. After all, this is your abode and I am just a visitor here.

Welcome to the forum
Personally, from what I have read of your postings, I find that you have been very respectable towards people here. I look forward to learning more about you. Have you posted an introduction in the introduction section of the forum?

If you present her with an outfit made of human skin and tell her to put it on, she will.
