Hippie nonsense that Jas just grips my leg and gives me the "don't do it" look when they try to ramble on. They have picked up on my feelings about it and generally don't go too deep into the subject when I am around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westside Steve Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 People who spend an inordinate amount of time complaining about people with spiritual ideas that aren't the same as theirs are weird too. WSS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldBrownsFan Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 American King James VersionFor the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but to us which are saved it is the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:14King James Version (KJV) 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

MLD Woody Posted January 17, 2018 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 I'm not sure what you're interpretation of that passage is, but I imagine it's one that absolves Christianity of something a crazy follower would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted January 17, 2018 Report Share Posted January 17, 2018 There's little I dislike more than a religious zealot regardless of what ancient dogma they subscribe to. Christians irk me the most because I know a lot of fake pious douchebags who do scummy sh:t and believe praying to jebus is gonna make that ok.

A crazy follower who perhaps would lay his life down for others? That would be the flip side. Those passages of scripture only point out that the world believes the message of the cross to be foolishness until ones eyes are opened to the truth. I think human history has born that out up until the present day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's going to be an interpretation of a passage in the Bible (or any other religious text) for everything you need an explanation for. They've been defending it for hundreds of years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly I don't want to put words in your mouth but If I remember right Woody you thought Ben Carson was not fit for public office because he believes in prayer and God speaking to him.

It was something I didn't believe but I thought it was an interesting theory on the pyramids being built to store grain in Joseph's time in Egypt. In the bible Joseph was warned (God spoke to him) of a 7 year famine to come and he stored up grain ahead of the famine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should go out in the back yard, find a decent looking rock to put in the house before they show up and then offer to let them pet your new pet rock when they start talking Sheet. Give it a name like Rocky or Hardass. That'll go over big too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 too bad, woodpecker - you just did it again. It isn't about me or you - it's about the freaking subject. There are two sides to the mmgw story, you only accept one side. I see both sides, and conclude that the mmgw is a crock because of the two sides conflicting. You adhere to the one side, and will only accept one side of it all. And clarification of "legit science" is simply a reference to the many posts we've made, with top scientists in the world, and all the mmw experts whose quotes reference the need to mmgw because it's their only chance for redistribution of wealth, etc etc etc etc. Thta's you, woodpecker. Just another personal insult from you to divert attention that you are wrong. Not one bit of evidence that you are absolutely correct. You're have always been wrong about mmgw. That's why you and all went with the fallback "climate change".Options Yes, climate changes. But you didn't address any of the content of the link. I didn't insult you, I simply disagreed, and explained why. Have a nice day in your little birdhouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
