Hey, I have a dog as my avatar.  I know all about horn dogs.  And no peeing on the carpets either!

Oddly, that's the only time I spell my name, Bill, with a pee?

*meep*

meep

The most versatile word in the English language, or in fact any language!

Can mean whatever you want it to mean, but the most popular uses are:
1. An exclamation akin to 'ouch' or 'uh oh..'
2. Filling in the blanks where other (rude) words would go.
3. A greeting! I personally say meep instead of Hello...
4. A random expression of happiness used to fill gaps in conversation.

Meep is the best word ever! Meep!
1. "HEY GET BACK HERE!!!" "Meep!" 0.0
2. "Ahh.. Meeping Hell!" >.<
3. "Meep." ^.^
4. "....meep...." ^__^

I'm sure you meant the #4 meaning right?

I don't know why you degraded a nice conversation about discrimination on Atheist Forums into Penthouse Forum!

Actually, I was channeling Beaker from the Muppet Show.

I guess the only response to my critique of the OP was asking what's wrong with being selfish. And meep.

Direct line to God. All questions answered, wisdom given and problems worked out together. Never alone.

So why is it that you do not have one of those?

I have all of those qualities. I have run out of questions to ask God, that is why I come here to take your questions to God inorder to have a deeper understanding. You douche bags asks questions I would never dare ask God. Yet I take yor questions to him anyway. Guess what I can do that no other can. I can reconcile creation with all of evolution and not change the 7 day literal creation narritive and I can completely incorperate the 8 trillion years or so needed for life to 'evolve from slime.' without changing anything. I can reconcile the ark, the great flood, and just about every single other supposed contradiction you guys can copy from another skeptic's website. I've experienced Hell spoken with an angel and been judged by Christ face to face. All through the holy Spirit. Which also lead me to feed the hungry, work with the innercity youth, create a singles group from which I and a dozen other people and subsequently several dozen children were created as a result of. And now 10+ years as an online minister answering questions that atheists have. and Out of those 10 years not once has God been stumped. Now the douche bag who hates God may not like the answer that I give because it may force him to admit he has the wrong understanding of God (meaning his question is built on a snow man fallacy) and to answer the question I must address how God is described Biblical rather than address the question built on the snowmen fallacy. (those are the douche bags from which I spek/those who will not accept that their version of God is a snowman built on some/afew characteristics of God found in the bible, but their view is not correct or a complete understanding, yet they presist in their version of God..

I share my Spiritual experiences because IF you ever tried any of that stuff you would know cohesion in a spiritual group is next to impossible unless there is a greater good/presence keeping people together.. Ever greater still is the presence of God to have such a group grow.

ith the pantry we had several hundred families we help feed every week

In the innercity we had 4 to 6 school bus loads of children we managed every week and one week out of the year held a bible camp for them

The singles ministry started out with me and a buddy and quickly gain 80 members out of a 400-500 member church

Each and everytime a group of mine got to a critical mass the church or some other organization wanted to step in.. Then it was their presence who the people felt and not God, and each time those groups dissipated.

People like you are NOT stupid. If you promise God, and no God shows up then they quickly move on. However if you promise God and those people listen and experience God in some way they stick around!

This is my latest ministry, and just look at all the members "sticking around" not fluff filled christians, but hard core atheists!

How do you distinguish that from the voice of your own imagination?  There's a technique described in Napoleon Hill's book Think and Grow Rich where you create a "mastermind group" of role models (e.g. an inventor might elect to put Leonardo, Edison and Tesla in his group) and then mentally discuss things with them.  I've done similar things with purportedly fictional characters, to profoundly positive effect in my own life.

...I am asking you to "work" on the behalf of the land owner right now. Will you take up the Cross of Jesus and have your sins forgiven now?

I doubt that I would ever do such a thing.  The whole scenario strikes me as batshit barmy to the max.

In my case when I ask a question to God it is because I do not know. Then I am given a thought or an idea of how it works.. I write it down and then I google it to see if what I have written out is right. In short I vett my information with valid source material. If the answer was internal I would not need to ask the question.

Well, then ask your god exactly what would convince me that he exists and is worthy of worship. Report back with god's answer.

A personal one on one Doubting Thomas experience protracted over time. Meaning not only do you get your version of putting you hands on the wounds of Christ but you have this access to God the rest of your life on your terms..

The problem? in essence You want God to be your servant. you want to conjure and have God do things for you. You do not want a God you want a genie. Otherwise your question would be "what do I have to do to serve God" Not what does God have to do for me to proove he is worthy of you.

Now in essence this is What God is offering in Luke 11, if you can humble yourself and meet Him on His terms. Which then turns the tables back where you like me would have complete access to God, except now you will be working for Him. instead He serving you.

Here's the thing sport. God does not love everyone. God loves his Children/all of them, but again not all are his children. If you can come to a place where you do not demand God seek you out and serve you, then He rightfully so wants nothing to do with you as you already belong to another.

Do you understand what an atheist is?

I can do exactly the same thing by mentally consulting Oðinn, Raistlin Majere, or my guardian dragon Glori.  Sounds like all you're doing is mentally stepping into a different perspective and letting your unconscious mind take the com.

[The Grand Nudger]

Wait...wait......we imagine shit and then consult the internet, and this is our divine provenance?  Do we worship Google or something? That seems to be who's answering our questions. What happens when you type it in and google says "Nein!"?

Is there a process of penance for heresy in that case, to the Almighty Search Bar ?
