If those are what you think passes for addressing the topic then maybe you should go back to smoking the poles of Canadian truck drivers in Calgary weight stations.
That's it, Neo. That's how you demonstrate that xtian lurve to the heathen. Teach by example. They're sure to listen to you like that.
Calling people "jerkoffs", "asswipes", and "retards" or using prepackaged hand-job emojis is not the least bit creative. I'm merely showing how it can be done with more panache.

I'm sure Jesus is proud.
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.'

That kind of cliche retort is pretty lame. Besides, the bible does not explicitly condemn profanity. Not that it is encouraged. But in this venue, I actually do think Jesus would approve its use for emphasis in making a point.

Has anyone ever told you that your other cheek is very similar to your first one?

I've used profanity against other members here a small handful of times when I felt the stronger language was beneficial. Specifically because said members were talking to me like I was a POS, and I wanted to express to them in a way they might understand, that I'm not ok with that kind of treatment.
I don't know if I would say Jesus would be ok with that or not. While there is no teaching about profanity specifically, Jesus does teach us to turn the other cheek. If I had to guess, I'd say the way I acted wasn't the ideal perfection that Jesus taught us, but probably not necessarily sinful, either.

Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

Exactly, it's not sinful to tell people to go back to sucking cock, what's sinful is not believing.

Really, your constant editorializing without contributing is getting tiresome. For your information, the last thread about an argument for God, Steve posted a video instead of providing his own viewpoint. So either you believe that Steve can't think for himself, or you're just being a hypocrite. Anyway, you can take your implication that atheists can't think for themselves simply because they post an informative video and shove it up your ass. I found the video to be informative, thorough and quite on point. Unlike your bullshit comment.
You mean like your first two posts: HERE and HERE

As for SteveII, I didn't see that. If he did then I'll have to take him to the woodshed. You can come and watch if you want. I heard you're into that kind of thing.
The butthurt is strong with this one.

I see no indication of Chad being butthurt. Looks like he's pointing out an inconsistency he sees in you accusing him of not contributing.

You know I have always considered trading insults on AF primarily an unserious form of verbal jousting and playful taunting. Mostly, except for notable exceptions. And in those cases Christ's advice was not about letting people repeatedly make false accusations without consequences.
