to: KFC You're not following the God of your Pastor are you? So exactly how did he help you? Love you to hell? Hell is what you make it. And if anyone's 'loved her to hell' it's me, not dear old Pastor Bob, who is a good man and a Christian I'm willing to tolerate. So farewell hope, and with hope farewell fear, Farewell remorse; all good to me is lost. Evil, be thou my good. John Milton, Paradise Lost. To which
To: Serrian I no longer believe in any of the teachings of Christianity. But neither do I believe that all Christians are odious in the practice of their faith as KFC. Note to the less than observant - because I believe that the manner in which KFC practices her faith is odious, repugnant, and contemptible, does not mean that I apply those epithets to the person of KFC - except on occasion, when I allow my irritation at the no
Sometime in the late 1980s, after marrying for the first time, I returned to my local vocational college to once again mount an attempt to turn my life around. There had already been radical changes in my life. I had become a Christian. As a consequence of my first conversion I had met the woman who would subsequently become my first wife, married her, and we had set
To: KFC I'm not sure what you are looking for from me? False humility? You're already in possession of enough false humility to supply a dozen megachurches twice over. And as to the quote from luke being overused, I agree. It's frequently used by erzsatz 'Christians' such as yourself to divert
Teenagers never listen to their parents. Precisely because they are their parents, the always-taken-for-granted-because-they-know-you'll-always-be-there parents. I don't have children and never will. But for reasons I don't comprehend children like me and teenagers confide in me. As I say, I have no idea why. It's my observation that, except in very rare cases, no teenager will willingly confide in his or her parents - because it's not until they become adults themselves that the
They're called 'wisdom teeth' because they appear late in life but rot soonest. I have only one left, the other three being removed at different times. As all Americans know, Europeans have dreadful teeth. A blindingly white smile is not the prerequisite for living a cleanly life there that it is here. And I'm no exception. I have (sin of sins) a tooth missing at the front of my mouth which I have no intention of replacing cosmetically because a) the g
To: Moderateman whew!!!!!!!! Remind me to never annoy yer simon, k? Oh hush. My bite is infinitely worse than my bark - and all I can do here is bark.
To: shadesofgrey Frankie is apparently in no danger, and we haven't caught him peeing on the foor since early this morning. Waaaaay too much salted ham, and way too much drinking during the night to compensate. The Little Red Dog from Hell is doing OK. And I'm a melancholic misanthrope - being cheerful isn't my forte at the best of times. But I do occasionally forget that others don't see things in quite the same way...
To: KFC In regard to Ecclesiastes, you missed the main point: Ecc 2:15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also [is] vanity. Ecc 2:16 For [there is] no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now [is] in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And how dieth the wise [man]? as the fool. Continue to think y
To: KFC Shame on those Christians you know that are not being the light they should be. One thing I believe is that we are supposed to be representing the King. We are his subjects, so to speak, and many don't think about it much. As we go out into the world we need to remember our actions reflect back on our King. Not only actions, but words written and spoken. You might want to think about these words of yours next time you're tempted to tell
To: KFC Yet even with his flaws David was a man after God's own heart. On your own argument, that would make the heart of God capable of adultery and murder. Was that quite what you intended to say? As to your narrative of the woes that befell both David and Solomon, I will admit that you have made a better fist than you normally do of the 'research' you condescend to undertake. But then, I didn't have a problem with the Biblical narrat
To: adnauseam Ice Cream Man, I commonly stay out of controversy but I feel your comments to KFC were out of order. Dear me. Shall I die of a broken heart now, or wait till later? Later, I think.
lmao...the above comment, (and this one) is, of course, from LW.
Simon thinks Rachael Ray is FAT! (walks away, cow-like, mooing at the moon.)
KFC, you spiritual dullard: pull your thumb out of your ass and tell me why I'm wrong. Go one better, and tell me on what grounds I'm wrong. I'll bet you ten billion billion dollars that you can't.
That detestable hypocrite; that self-serving egomaniac; that paragon of ignorant prejudice and prideful ignorance, KFC, JU's permanent godbotherer, has taken it upon herself to delete my comment on one of her threads, just as I knew she would. This is a link to her latest effusion, the vomit of one of the dogs referred to in the Apocalypse of St. John the Divine, also
And one more thing: answer the damned questions instead of hiding behind fake outrage and false pride. If Jesus wept, he wept for the likes of you, and for your utter failure to demonstrate any quality that could remotely be called 'Christlike'. You make me sick, you wretched excuse for a Christian.
To: KFC In regard to you, there is nothing to respect. You are a teacher more ignorant than your pupils. Every word you write reeks of your sanctimonious self-satisfaction. Your pride in your ignorance appals and revolts me. The depths of stupidity to which you can descend astounds me. Your reeking hypocrisy nauseates me. You are a poster child for everything which is wrong in contemporary 'Christianity'. You are, in yourself, a l
There's something to be said for being driven. But there's a great deal more to be said for saying "Fuck you." Why? Because you'll die anyway. And then everything you've striven for won't mean shit .
You're bitching about a player taking the money offered? What kind of American are you? Money is the only standard of success left. If you're going to cry foul over someone avccepting a better monetary offer then you ought to run away and bury your head in the sand. Of course he took the money. Wouldn't you?
To: little-whip Too. Fucking. FUNNYYYYYYYYY. V^^^^^V bites you.
damnable log-in issues!
Christ is the truth they say - and the truth will set you free. Yet more often than not, in my days as a Christian, conversation would turn to a 'rule-based' topic such as this. I knew Christians who thought it wrong to lift a finger or turn a thought to anything that might be remotely described as 'work' on a Sunday; and others for whom it was one more day, except that on this day one 'went to Church' in order to clap and stamp and cry and wail in tongues. And having done that, they seemed to f
You and I should rule the world.
Link You'd think, considering the state of American-Iranian relations since the Ayatollahs came to power, that America would be right up there at the top of the Mullah's 'countries we love to hate list'. Nope. America is the Great Satan, but whenever some crisis threatens Iran it's always B
