Proclaiming FReepers guilty by association with a FR thread? Proof of that?

Not anti Christian. I have had folks (not on this thread) start shooting bible quotes at me, as if they think they are going to convert someone on the internet. Or perhaps they are trying to exorcise whatever possesses me.

I could not care less what relgion someone practices, or doesn’t practice. Just like what you do in your house and family is generally no business of mine. (Unless someone is getting hurt, obviously.)

I would not more try to convince you to change your beliefs in God than I would try to make you change your eye color. Religion is not like a favorite sports team. You are not going to change mine, nor I yours. If you want to spend time with me after the tribulation—well, that’s your choice. You are going to have to guess where I am going to be.

I respect folks with a strong belief system. How come they find it so easy to disrespect others?


Well, otay then. How can one resist such a fine explanation.

if you tell me you are male and against porn it will be like music to my ears.

If your life is lacking music, it's probably a sign that you're hanging around the wrong caliber of men.

So, you think it is OK to attack someone with biblical quotes when you disagree with them? You think it is fine to try to change someone’s religion? (And I am not talking about crazy Islam stuff.)

If so, then I will pray for you. A lot. Because you are missing the whole point of America.

“We won’t go to hell because of using the Federal Reserve!!!! OMG!!!”

Yes, we will. Theft is a sin. The Federal Reserve is all about theft, including theft from those not even born yet.

Besides, we won’t go to Hell for Hefner’s sins.

Actually, yes I do.

You think it is fine to try to change someone’s religion?

Absolutely I do. And I believe that you do, too.

If so, then I will pray for you. A lot. Because you are missing the whole point of America.

What could it be that you are praying for? That I change my religion?

“Hefner and his crew did not use ‘government money’ to corrupt the culture. That was done entirely in the private sector. And that makes them worse than the public sector corrupters.”

Hefner didn’t have the force and guns of government to force his magazine, lifestyle, or anything related to his enterprise on others. The government has guns, thugs, courts to force their will on you.

“1913 Was a Very Bad Year .”

Yep. IMHO, the worse year of any including 1860. Not even the War of Northern Aggression was as bad as the 16th Amendment and the Federal Reserve.

MTV no doubt ranks right up there with Hefner. They were/are a primary outlet for brainwashing teenagers and young adults with leftist ideology, including pornography.

Thanks.

Your damning indictment of Hefner, and his crasser imitators, and their customers, supports my point. Hefner et al. found a way to corrupt the culture without depending on the force of laws, and guns, and polizei. Far more destructive.

IMO.

I understand how you feel. I too once ran far and fast from street-corner preachers. Couldn't stand to hear Scripture.

Things have changed significantly now. But I've never been able on my own to convince anyone to change their religion...that I'm aware of.

BTW, on which FR post(s) did I attack you with Scripture?

Tell that to the Northern and Southern dead.

Hefner did not force his ways on people, they gladly accepted them. He wasn’t devious or indirect, he was very direct. Which says Hefner didn’t corrupt anybody, they corrupted themselves.

Put it another way, if a mere magazine with images of nude women could corrupt an entire population of people then just how moral was that population in the first place?

Be glad to. That was a limited engagement of 4 years. The 16th and the reserve affects everyone and has for decades and will for decades more.

If the South had won I doubt we would have had the 16th or the thieves at the federal reserve.

Millions have been prosecuted, imprisoned, and some even killed over this taxation of the 16th and the federal reserve. Everyone lives in fear of it.

I think those that died in the war would have preferred to have died stopping the carnage of the 16th and the federal reserve.

Ya know, I think I've never heard this expressed this way before. Sure cannot disprove it.
