Hey, there's nothing like a good selection of nuts at Christmas is there?
It's traditional , it's festive, pass me the nut crackers someone...
Here we have the utter nut, JCanon (Jesus Christ ANON, oh, the modesty, oh nurse, pass the needle and thread lest my sides burst with laughter at the rapier like wit).
He basically says he's Jesus, but hasn't been able to demonstrate it in any way comprehensible to humans on this board. His take on thing normally involves assertion enmasse; he'll quote stuff and say "See, I'm Jesus". I'm quite sure under the right stimulus he'd cite the Microsoft Word 97 manual as proof of his Jesus-ship. Another nice twist to his delusion is him taking the fact he is a wind-bag with no proof of what he says - and a nice line in alienating people through his condemnatory tirades - and using it to come up with the logic 'I am a stumbling block therefore I am Christ'. What a fruitcake!
Sadly, we shouldn't laugh too hard at him, he conforms far to closely to the DSM-V description of Schizophrenia (Delusional Disorder) to feel anything other than sympathy for him, even if he is an unpleasent little toad, and I hope he gets treatment soon. They're coming to take you away, haha, they're coming to take you away, to the funny farm where life is good and everything is beautiful...
AGuest is a nice nut... probably has a very similar disorder, but I have it on very good assurance she is an extremely nice person who can function in society and feel this comes over in her posts, even if she's barmy. Hell, my Aunt is barmy, I like her too. She also, for god's spokeswoman, is quite charming and free of the "your going to die" schpeel most of her ilk spout.
AwakenAndFree unfortunately doesn't seem to have mental illness as an excuse.
She claims to be a Christian, yet basically acts like a re-warmed Witness.
She holds the Bible to be the literal inspired word of god, but has failed to prove this. History shows the Bible as we know it is a collection of books stuck together to back-up the faiths of those who stuck it together. If it's contents had had been set two hundred years before or after they actually were, even fifty years before or after, then the selection of books would have been different as the beliefs of the then Christian church were still at a formative stage and changing regulary.
She also appear unaware of the ludicrous nature of quoting "All are scriptures inspired... ".to 'prove' the Bible is god's word. On her reasoning then, Mien Kampf and The Little Red Book would also be indisputable as they contain passages which claim they are irrefutably right. Those are the books written by Hitler and Chairman Mao AAF; great company there!
PS, I KNOW it's ludicrous that she quotes that scripture as a proof, as I am still embaressed I ever did...
Going beyond her credulous acceptance of literal divine inspiration in the absence of evidence for and against a lot of evidence against, we have her basically failling to distinguish between commenting on whether certain actions measure up to the standards the Bible say a Christian should have (which is fine) and judging people worthy of destruction (which the Bible condemns). I've always found the smell of self-rightousness to be nauseating, and it comes of her in waves.
Finally (well, there's a lot more, but it gets boring) she rounds this off by acting exactly like the description of a Pharasee that Jesus is said to have given, and then has the almost blasphemous cheek to claim people disagreeing with her is a sign that she is right.
No AAF, people disagreeing with you is a sign you are wrong.
They show you where and why you are wrong;you just mouth empty scriptures you can't even apply properly from a book whose provinance you are hysterically ignorant of.
Either you have need of counciling to help you escape the cultic prison you have built for yourself, or you are of a stunningly low level of reading comprehension and general education.
I'm not saying you're stupid AAF, but you seem to be ignorant of so much and incapable of analysing things in a critical manner to such an extent that what intelligence you have is severly hampered. Don't worry, it's not your fault you're that way; many of us were similarly educationally disadvantaged or incapable of close reading when we were dubs.
You have a simple choice; you can either stop pretending everything makes sense (in the twisted way you do), and make a genuine enquiry as to the nature of the world around you, or you can you look into Calvinism, which will enable you to claim you are right because you say you are right, which is exactly what you are doing.
I think this Christmas, this New Year, is a good time, not to play 'whose god is right', but to appreciate the sacred nature of human life and of how obscene it is that anyone kills in the name of god. I think if there is a god, the only time were EVER going to hear from him is when we stop killing - or condeming each other in 'his' name
One thing is for certain, and that's either ONE of JCanaon, AGuest and AwakendAndFree are right, or all are wrong.
As none of them can prove they're right, and as it would be morally repugnant of an entity to blot people out because they didn't believe something that wasn't provable (and that other people with the same amount of evidence disputed), I think we can sleep safe in our beds tonoght knowing that, thankfully, whatever god is, these three people don't know $hit about it.
