Granite's already answered that one.

And why did he bring up the church vote getting Bush re-elected, then bring in the pope and Catholic politicians, if he isn't trying to make a connection?

I dunno. Maybe he's scramble-headed.

Dear Janus & Granite:

Actually I am the 2 time nominee recipient of "most annoying poster." But I think "doll" and "open minded" are better descriptions. Thanks! :D

Janus, please do not get frustrated by such responses and stop posting, we need more thinking people on this board.
Some of these kind of arguments make you wonder if there is a reason to write, but there are only a few of these posting, the rest actually debate (usually)

'Course you would. That's because he does truly understand C, F and L. That's why :BillyBob: rejects them all. :up:

AHA! Sooooooo, your definition of a just government is whether or not it loves queers. :shocked:

And your tax rate is? :1Way:

Your teeth. True or false? :confused:

I have. Several. You? :eek:

:darwinsm: Zimbabwe? :noway:

Looking good! :thumb:

Your post gives new meaning and life to the word "incredulous." :dunce:

At least you got a relatively cheery welcome, and a few bits of support.

everyone even the athiests thinks i'm totally nuts.

i am glad for thinking arguments, so no matter if we end up on the same or opposing sides of a debate, i will be happy to not have to debate a list of smilies.

Dear Granite,
I'm genuinely concerned for these people. They believe they're serving God yet I wonder who has taught them about God. Someone somewhere is pulling their strings and worst of all they don't realise it. At least wickwoman sounds quite open minded and happy go lucky. Its a breath of fresh air - I'm always being told I'm going to burn in hell!

i agree with you here, it seems to me the religion most suiting to christianities fear of other religions, is actually christianity. The only prophet i have ever come up that fits the bill of the false prophets in the bible, is the bible. False prophet with a huge congregation, movin into the mainstream to gain members. i don't want to go too much further with this here because it might get me banned (i mean no offense, just a suggestion, harmless words, oh administrator of power) but suffice to say i think christians may be one of "God's" ironic jokes.

By the way this took me forever to get, which made it really confusing to read my posts for awhile,

When you want to start a little quote box you put
text texte text

Capitalize all of the letters in quote and remember no slash in the first one slash in the second.

ok i am editing this because aparently it is not cap. sensative it's
[ QUOTE] TEXTTEXTTEXT[ /QUOTE] without the spaces i added.

Exactly- open to annotation

"There are scads of fragments and transcripts out there."

Exactly by authors of unknown origin and fragmnets at best. How can the whole truth ever be know if we only have fragments. The last line of the bible could have been, 'only joking, just go out and have a good time, there is no afterlife!'


"God promises His Words will not pass from us, and I believe He is much more powerful than created beings."

Promises in the bible of dubious origins.

"I could give you some of the reasons I accepted Christ, but it would be akin to showing pics of the moon landing to someone who doesn't want to believe it happened."

I'm not here to mock your religion. It may seem that way sometimes but I'm not. Any offered reasoning may give me an insight.


"I have never claimed one should put their faith in the Bible, rather I desire people put their faith in Christ."

Fine but all we know of Christ is what man and the bible tells us, both of which as sources are flawed.

"I think your mind is about as open as Fort Knox."
Ditto



"You have got to be joking! Islam's goal is to wipe out the "infidels". That would be anyone who doesn't bend a knee to allah. Namely Jews and Christians."
Only according to the extremists, which both Judaism (orthodox Judaism regarding the Israeli road map) and Christianity (think Crusades, the bile belt erradicating Darwinism and BillyBob)



"It's sad... Brittian used to be Protestant."
It still is, the declaration is 'Defender of THE Faith' rather than just faith.


"My advice to you is to pick up a Bible, pray the God of that Book will guide you and read it. Read the NT gospel accounts and decide, is this God the One you want to serve or not."

I have I just didn't stop there! I read a translation of the Qu'ran, the Torah too. Confucius and greek philosophy. I also studied European and Ancient history to trace the evolution of religion.

I'm still worried about Christian doctrine and its effects; political and moral

I brought up Bush and the EU because of religion's misplaced authority in the leadership of any country, democratic or otherwise.

If someone else's religion affects us, whomever's it may be we are supressed just as we are in a dictatorship. People feel loyalty to a faith regardless of its doctrine( see Catholic and protestant faiths) and will adhere to it regardless of their better judgement

Janus a pseudonym, look to roman mythology.

To quote, "Baloney. . . you had your mind made up. . ."
Jesus sees a sinner, " No you're a sinner, don't hit me with that I want you to teach me stuff.......you're damned." NOT LIKELY

Read the bible again you've lost the messgae somewhere. If I say I'm open minded be mature enough to give me the benefit of the doubt.

Quite likely.

Open-minded = Empty-headed

post number one - no religion (hence atheist?),

Just because your not a member of a church does not mean you are an athiest - a lot of people who go to church, eventually leave, and are just fine, and probably better off than the ones that stay in the stigma campaigns and the self righteous indignation that organised chruces (some anyways) tend to breed in people.

as far as I can tell, your doing just fine.

Does someone have a link to Janus-Banus' bannable statement? I'm always curious as to what gets people banned. I searched for it, but was not successful.

Talking about why people got banned is apparently #15.

I forgot where it happened, ask Turbo.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to know why a poster gets banned, it helps the rest of the posters to understand what is and what isn't acceptable.

#15 is something like...
"Thou shalt not discuss the banning of other members in a public forum." or something such as that.

it had to do with you though, funny how you were not even insulted enough to remember. ooo, maybe it wasn't you, there's one other option...
