palmtree,
thanks, I'll have to look into that.
my wife is traveling from new england to the deep south by car (i told her to fly, but nooooo).
she called me earlier today saying that she was in a bad snow storm.
i called the best hotel i could find at the next exit from where she was when she called me.
palmtree,
thanks, I'll have to look into that.
i know what the witness response is to this but what do you say now?.
Oh, and I really find ending these insulting posts with the word peace quite hypocritcal and nauseating. If you want to insult me then insult me but don't hide behind this so-called christain goodness.
Peace

lil,
however yours still seems to be lacking because you cannot seem to understand the basic answers to that simple Q
I understand your answers perfectly. I just find them preposterous.
Who are you to tell people their responses are nonsense?
Yes, after you made statements which were not accurate in order to defend your god, and it was pointed out that the statements were inaccurate, you then went and read up on river blindness. But, you were perfectly willing to use inaccurate statements to defend your god, that was my point.
And no, my example did not "change the subject", as the person who started the thread stated, the example provided a way to be very clear on the moral issue involved without getting off into generalities. River blindness is a great example to show that god does not care, so it is absolutely no topic as minimus said it was.
I only said things which could be proven to be false were nonsensical. I did not say that about opinion. People made untrue statements about the river blindness disease, I said those statements were nonsense.
So god creates a worm that makes people blind and when called on it says "oh that's man's problem now, let him take care of it"? Some god you have there.
I gave you an opportunity to educate me on what god is doing for man. One of the things you said was that he gave us the Bible. That is just great. But, I have lived in the Congo and the people there are mostly illiterate, the ones that can read have never seen a Bible, what few Bibles are around are not in the languages the pepole speak, the people are not Christains and wouldn't seek out a Bible anyway. Oh, but they are blind, so unless you have a brail Bible in their language a lot of good the Bible is going to do them.
I understood the answers you gave perfectly. They are just excuses, not answers.
I will summarize them:
God is not responsible for anything because it is all man's fault.
The victims are to blame because they are wicked or evil somehow and don't follow god's principles andd all they have to do is follow god's principles.
God sent the Bible to show everyone how to live.
God's spirit motivates the church to solve all the problems that god created. But the only evidence of that is the fact that the church people say that.
God supposedly sent his son to be murdered on the earth and the son was invisbily taken into the heavens and he is doing something invisibly, not sure what exactly.
Does this pretty much sum up what god is doing?
It is not that I don't believe that god is doing something. The only proof that he is doing anything is the church people telling me so. And what they say he is doing is totally inadequate. I see no evidence that god is doing anything. The church people say they are acting on god's behalf. That is very nice but they cannot hope to even begin to ease the suffering of the vast majority.

sixofnine,
Not sure what you are talking about. My wife was stuck in Staunton Va for 3 days. She just arrived home yesterday.
Nice to see how people on here show their true colors.
i know what the witness response is to this but what do you say now?.
lil,
According to the rules of this forum, name calling, abusive speech and bad laguage is not acceptable. Does this only apply to Christians, or is this everyone?
So you are upset because Christains get censored when they curse, call people names, and use abusive speech and bad language but others are not censored?
I thought Christains did not behave like that.
And how would the moderators know who is a Christain and who is not a Christain?
i know what the witness response is to this but what do you say now?.
lil,
When people purposely misrepresented facts or told outright lies I called them on it.
When people demonstrated that they were misinformed I showed them using facts that they were misinformed. Since when is showing someone that they are misinformed an insult?
When people kept saying something that was wrong when the facts were clearly presented multiple times it made me question their reading comprehension since they demonstrated a lack of reading comprehension.
When you made statements about river blindness that were nonsenical I told you to educate yourself on the topic. YOU chose to take it that I was calling you uneducated. Those are two very different statements.
So far I don't see any examples of name calling. Maybe there are some in the "among other things".
I find it amusing that a Christain's sensibillties are so easily offended by "curse" words, but they are not offended by all the suffering that their god causes and permits.
i know what the witness response is to this but what do you say now?.
lil,
Who did I call names? What names did I call them? You make a lot of accusations. Start backing them up.
i know what the witness response is to this but what do you say now?.
Lil,
I guess when people call me lazy, uncaring, illiterate, retarded, an idiot et al I should just get out the vaseline and bend over?
i know what the witness response is to this but what do you say now?.
I'm going to make MD 20/20 shut up about the validity of the example I gave because I am not a "theologian".
Okay crackhead. I don't know how to read. I have never read any books. I did not go to school. My IQ is very low.
I know about the river blindness disease because I lived in an area where it is common.
Now, address minimus' thread topic using the fucking example I gave and stop hiding behind attacks on me personally because I'm not as smart as you.
i know it's difficult to narrow it down to just one song.
between the powerful, kick-ass beat of hangin tough and the hauntingly beautiful melody of i'll be loving you forever, there is such a vast array of musical gold to choose from..
Are you on crack? These asswipes couldn't play a decent song on a CD player.
