To some people, its also a measure of + how Godly and All American you are, or - how heretical, evil, and Socialistic/Stalinist/Democratic you are. And if you have voted for Obama and/or enjoy the Daily Show, ... wellll-doggie, you have automatically earned *5* red marks, and are on the slippery slope to Hell, brother! Gawd, I just love this board!

Those red/green buttons that vote your post up or down? Wow! Like they determine who and what you really are? The people who know you better won't give a ratz pizzazz about some insignificant pair of clickable buttons, and the people who don't know you won't care either. So welcome to the Greasespot, where the women are tuff, the men have hairy armp**s, and the moderator is cool n' groovy.

Just that, Ex. ... Barf!

iPad = iPhone for near-sighted people. <_<

_Now_ I know what he's missing! He needs to bang his head---err, fists on the table! You know, Mussolini style. It might not have more people sign his green card, but it'll keep more people from falling asleep. ((snicker))

Wow! "detestable copulations in Atheistical libertines" Well, like just about every other human being, we detestable atheists do like to copulate. (((GASP))) :blink: (Looking up the definition of 'Libertines' on Wikipedia) "A libertine is one devoid of most moral restraints, which are seen as unnecessary or undesirable, especially one who ignores or even spurns accepted morals" Ahh yes, that old canard of us e-bil atheists being totally without morals, ethics, and other seemly virtues. ... Never mind that the faithful who say this, often say this _totally_ without question. Even if they _actually_ know of atheists who were/are moral. ... Gotta remain unswervingly loyal to what they read in the Scripture, doncha know. <_< And as to Atheism being a form of Magic, ... Hey! Who knows. We talk about the Flying Spaghetti Monster So if you put together just the right combination of pasta, cheese, and spaghetti sauce, ... and voila!

Book 'em, Yanno! ((ducks))

((shakes head))

How's this? "Have you LOST your MIND??!! Because if you have, I'll help you find it!!" :B)

The FB site is nothing more than a VPW quote session. "Daasss riigghhtt, kkeeeeeds!"

Actually, I do believe in something. ... I believe I'll have another :B)

What?! You didn't sign The Green Card?? J-u-s-t kidding. Welcome aboard. ... Now start stringing some chairs.

So it's an exclusively either/or situation? If you say you're Christian, and you have even the slightest bit of doubt or uncertainty, ... then there is no truth in you? Or if someone says that he's an atheist, and yet realizes/admits the fact that there is no real way that one can prove a negative, ... same thing? No truth in him? ... Nahhh. I think I'll pass on that one. Because having doubts in our lives is but part and parcel of what it means to be human.

You say the sweetest things. (sarcasm mode on) Look. Apparently none of us here could ever match up to your superior standards (such as they are), and I get the idea from you that we should not even try. ... So why are you here? ... What possible benefit could we even glean from your superiority? (sarcasm mode OFF) ..... Why should we even accept your 'superiority' as real, ... based on nothing more than _your_ say so? Because that is all you have to show us. ... Period. <_< Well, that, plus your own version of 'illegitimate insults and slander'. :P Which, as Waysider points out, are ... boring. And I offer no apology whatsoever. Keep it up clown. You'll be chastised/suspended/kicked out in short order, the way you're going. I now bid you adieu.

Decomposer, Watch out folks. Next thing he'll do here is whip out his Green Card for his classes. ... Sign up now, and the cost--errr, 'donation' will be a scant $500. Hope your believing is up to getting your money together. Run a car wash maybe to raise the funds? (Me wonders if he's like this in Real Life. <_< ) Roy, Well, since Decomposer believes in intelligent design, he ain't no atheist. ... No problem, as I don't think we atheists would want him in the first place. As I imagine none of the religious here want him either.

Emerson, Lake, and Palmer!! ... Now that takes me back to the Really Great Shows, ones that VP and Co. could never even begin to touch!

In that point, you speak the unblemished fact about atheists/unbelievers dying for their respective countries, a fact that many religious (mainly of the fundy variety) wish to downplay or dismiss. That said however, you show yourself to be a kind of fraud in the overreaching blanket statement you make by portraying all religious people as frauds. Note that I didn't say the religions as frauds, which is another dollar for another day. No, you portray all religious people as frauds, and that is where your epic fail lies. And please, stop with the "I have more respect for atheists/unbelievers" song-and-dance. It is clear to me that you use us as merely a tool, ... an imaginary ally in your rant, as it were. If it weren't for the 'religious frauds' you say you complain about, you'd direct your self-righteous wrath at us, ... for whatever imaginary slight. Dude! Go outside into the fresh air and sunshine. ... Go do something more productive than you're doing now. ... Get a job. ... Do something! ... Anything than the total waste of time that you're doing now! Because many here, even many of the ones whom I often disagree with, are anything _but_ a bunch of frauds. Besides, what are you doing that provides a more viable alternative, ... hhmmmmm? ;)

Composer, I notice that you got a negative 5 tally there. ... Hhmmmm, ya think that maybe, when you posted that just might have had something to do with it? ;) N-a-h-h-h! ... Must've been the enlarged font that somehow got under their skin. ... And a 'real' Christian? ... According to who, might I ask? Who amongst us here has a direct connection with God (The Real One, doncha know ;) ) who can answer _that_ question? ((snickers)) And some people wonder why people like me walked away from the god concept as a valid answer.

Zixar, Good to see ya again buddy. Sorry to hear of all the crap divebombing on ya. Here's hoping that things begin to pick up for you again. Hey! I know what's good for a few laughs. Let's go pick on James French again!

"Faith, a concept of man" Pointedly, and aptly, put. :B)

Uummmm, one question more, if I may, ... Did ya put a stamp on the email first? Woot! Woot!

And here I was thinking that those pics would bring back those happy memories of The Rock, W.O.W. burgers, :) activities under the Big Top, walking the Bless Patrol beat at 3 a.m. in the morning, :unsure: ... the Honey Dew wagon, ..... Nahh. Never mind! :B)

Folks, here is a Google Maps pic of International Headquarters of TWI, and one of the things that just jumps out at me in seeing this, is look at the vast tracts of land that is doing ... nothing. ... Nada. ... Ziltch! ... Zippo! <iframe width="425" height="350" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" src="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&ll=40.4732,-84.328716&spn=0.011459,0.022187&t=h&z=16&output=embed"></iframe><br /><small><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&client=firefox-a&ie=UTF8&ll=40.4732,-84.328716&spn=0.011459,0.022187&t=h&z=16&source=embed" style="color:#0000FF;text-align:left">View Larger Map</a></small> (Click on View Larger Map to get a more complete picture. It goes from one end of Wierwille road to the other, and just about covers the entire main property.) Weren't we all taught about how God expects His People to not waste the land? How our lands were going to be fruitful? Grace (what's-her-face)'s teaching about Godly growth and proper usage of the land? (Or it might have been someone else.) Heck, I remember being taught a lot of teachings about God's Word in Farming and stuff like that. ... Remember all that from the "good ol' days of the Way?" Now look at their property. Look at all the barren land. Unused land. Wasted land. A lot that was used for Rock of Ages and other ministry functions, ... but are now used for ... nothing. (Get a load of how full the parking lot for the Weirwille Auditorium is ... NOT. ) Too bad they don't get email (morons!), else I just might have sent them this post. ... As a form of instruction and edification, of course.

STFONLINE.org The bolded part is _such_ an invitation to, ummm, an internet abbreviation-related jokes, ... if you catch my drift. ;)

Only if you do it with a vegetable. :blink:
