Still pointing your Finger when having a Rafter in your eye?

by DocHouse in

yes- everyone has faults and makes mistakes; an organization even more so.. yet, you ignore all the fingers pointing at you.. many here have no faith.

many here go to churches who lie about everything biblical; look at x-mas!.

but at least we know god and christ and try to live up to their name!.

DJS

DocHouse,

I have read and re-read your response to me and I have no idea what you are trying to say. You set yourself up above and apart from the Borg's Dark Lords, from all other X-tians and without a doubt from all non-Xtians and non-believers. Others are being nice to you; I'm calling a spade a spade.

You are a delusional narcissist who came to this site for no other purpose than to show your amazingness and awesomeness. You and you alone, according to you and you alone, have special knowledge and the correct scriptural interpretation where all others before you have failed. All hail DocHouse and his amazingness and awesomeness.

We get a steady stream of people like you. In the words of the 21st Century philosopher, Justin Timberlake, go ahead be gone with it (you). Or better still, stick around and learn something.

I am breaking several of my prime directives, responding to trolls and having a theist conversation being two of them. But DocHouse, you have finally shown your true delusional, narcissistic colors. As if we didn't know already. The Dark Lords (aka FDS) are wrong. All other Christians are wrong. Certainly you have also ascribed to everlasting destruction the Buddhists, Hindus, Moslems, Jews, etc. of the world. And we poor atheists, well we don't have a chance.

That leaves, let me see. . . . ONE person with a direct conduit to the big girl in the sky and the correct interpretation of all things scripture.

You

Go away delusional narcissist.

Look out Boeing and Airbus - you're domination of Aviation may soon be over

by fulltimestudent in

apologies, clumsy fingers again.

but be patient, at some a point a real post may appear..

Thanks FTS,

Competition can only make things better in this arena. Given the recent issues in the aviation industry, that should be a good thing.

The Way, a way of reason that generates a way of Life

by Traveler in

i'm looking for those who have found the path/way of reason.

i include a few notes to those i have approached so far.

these past attempts seem too slow.

DJS

Traveler,

You have insulted everyone on this site; if you return do so with some humility. You've set yourself up in your mumbo jumbo gobbligook of metaphors and bible sounding lingo to be a Jesus figure. You're looking for someone who is searching for the way, which you've found. You are the way, and the truth and the life. And you have the gall to mention ego?

Return with some humility or stay away.

Like clockwork yet another delusional narcissist, with a direct link to the big girl in the sky, some intense bible learnin' (to go along with that high school diploma - go ahead cal me mean) and 'special knowledge' unavailable to the rest of us, has arrived. Yawn.

Tragedy and God's Will

by cultBgone in

it's utterly amazing to me how religious belief in an omnipotent deity shapes some people's thinking.. one woman whose family missed the air asia flight which crashed stated that it was god's will to give her father hepatitis so that she canceled her family's vacation trip on that flight.

she says she believes god saved her family and protected them.

however, she later mourns the fact that she lost friends on the flight...so does she believe god deliberately planned for them to die?

DJS

Shortfuse,

You are preaching to the used-to-be-choir. We got it; we used to use those arguments. They are circular, specious, shallow, irrational, un-supported by the evidence and require a suspension of common sense and the use of one's brain cells, not to mention a large dose of credulity and burying one's head in the sand.

But we used to be you. We understand. Keep believing.

Theists really have no rational, reasonable response to these types of incidents and the reactions of the believers. Other than simply feeling and believing. It is irrational to the highest degree, and there is no rational argument that can support it. Belief in a deity falls so far down the evolutionary scale that it shames me to think our species is so pathetic and weak and that I was one of them for so long.

And so it goes.

Any luck kicking the bottle?

by Ignoranceisbliss in

as i continue my sllllooooooowwwwwww fade one of the things that i want to do is better myself as a person.

one of my biggest pitfalls has always been drinking.

i don't think i am an alcoholic but at the same time i've never been a very good drinker.

DJS

Ignoranceisbliss,

I'm not an expert in this area, but I have had a lot of experience dealing with friends, family and loved ones with this problem.

You've shown the first step by humbly asking for guidance. You have a drinking problem; whether you attach the scarlet letter to it is irrelevant. Your ability to manage your life, at least during the week, is silently misleading you into thinking you got this covered. You don't. You may not be collecting DUIs or work related penalties, but it is almost a certainly that your liver and the rest of your body has already paid a heavy price.

Can you manage drinking at all? You say you have struggled for 20 years to control weekend binges but with no success. I believe it was Einstein who stated that continuing to do the same thing expecting different results is a definition of insanity, or something to that effect.

LisaRose is spot on (as usual). If you can limit your drinking to 1 - 2 drinks per day, try it. Even if you can your liver would probably ask you to stop completely. I doubt that you can to be honest. You need to stop drinking completely, IMHO. I doubt that a professional would tell you anything different.

I would suggest seeking professional help. Does your workplace have an employee assistance program? If so go immediately and find support. Good luck.

(Knock Knock) Who's there?

by Coded Logic in

if jws knocked on your door what would you say?.

i know jws don't really do "ministry" anymore (just leave special campaign tracts at the door and run away as fast as they can so they don't have to talk to anyone) but if they ever actually tried to have a conversation with me i wonder what i would say.

most likely i'd ask about matthew 4:8 where it says the devil took jesus to the top of an unusually high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world.

As I've stated before, I would be extremely polite, thank them for their visit and tell them I wasn't interested. Not in a million years would I attempt to start a biblical discussion with a dub or to think that I could (or even wanted to) get them 'thinking'. This is what I have done the handful of times they have come to my house in FS.

Once I was in my garage waxing my car and two dubs approached me. They were pleasant as was I. They pursued a bit when I kindly told them I wasn't interested. I briefly mentioned that I had been a dub, appreciated and understood what they were doing but I had moved on beyond that. They thanked me and left; a good time was had by all.

Different strokes, but I can't imagine any universe where I would attempt to have a religious discussion with anyone, especially dubs. And I don't give a flying eft what they believe any longer. It is almost impossible to get ex-dubs on this site to truly open their minds; thinking that I could get a current dub to do so approaches the impossible.

And I would rather wax my car.
