[split] Hey homeys, Mark Dreher says hello

RE: [split] Hey homeys, Mark Dreher says hello
Why can't you help? A teacher can help an illiterate child or adult. Another proof that god isn't omnipotent?

RE: [split] Hey homeys, Mark Dreher says hello
Wait, why are you quoting the Christian bible if you wrote your own?

And fuck Jesus. Advocates of thoughtcrime are assholes.

Au contraire, the JWs I've met have been socially adept. No, having been in the company of people who suffer from various degrees of e.g. social anxiety and Asperger's, I say that Marky-Mark here has enough screws, nuts and bolts loose to fill a 10l bucket. Trust me, I'm a professional Wink

True that...met some lovely people today...JW's on their weekly "walk-about" The twenty something didn't have a clue but the 70something was rather switched on..all in all nice people. Couldn't argue for their particular religion to save their lives but hey...it's their delusion Dunno

This "Dog with a hip lip" has no hope. Tell me.......Why are we bothering with him...... again?

There were no insults in that post, and it's more coherent than any of your posts but I waded through your broken sentences to try and communicate with you. I thought jesus preached humility, you seem pretty full of yourself. And you made clear that you're not omniscient, so I was merely asking what is so special about you that makes you god. If you're unable to answer that question, have some honesty and just say so.



I am not God.

Where did you get that idea?

Jesus, in not God, my dear.

"The son of God".

Lest we forget.

And how did that come to be?

How did I find myself in that situation?

I don't know my dear.

God picked me.

For some "unknown" reason.

A tough guy maybe.

I don't know.

Tough enough to do this job, certainly.

We do not pick our place in life, my dear.

We accept it.

Do not mess with the JW's.

They are a huge problem.

And I explain that, on this link.

Just do not answer the door

When they come knocking.

For an avatar of a "loving god" and everyone being your children You certainly have little patience and an unrelenting anger towards people of other beliefs: Jews, Jehovah's Witnesses, Muslim, Buddhist, Sikh, Hindu, Zoroastrian, etc.

What good is making up a religion if you can't use it to trash all of the other religions?
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

I thought humans are god's children? Is this a really fancy way of saying you're Christian?

RE: [split] Hey homeys, Mark Dreher says hello
Yes, special dad, my avatar is indeed an Orthodox Jew if you like. Whatever makes it easier for you. Interesting how being Jesus means you don't know very much about your 'children'. Hell, even Google Image Search knows more than you do, and that's a mindless search algorithm. Oh but I was forgetting, the internet was invented by "God", presumably while working at DARPA in the sixties.

I'll speak plainly here, because I thinkk you can't do subtle. Nobody here, I suspect, believes a word you say. What does your special God's BFF / Jesus status give you the ability to do that the rest of us can't? From what I've seen, it's been the other way round, quite frankly.

Or

We won't be.

Well, that's handy.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Sorry to be so late in welcoming you to the fold, lord. Please forgive me.

Listen, some us are thinking of getting the band back together. Do you play?
