August 23, 2009 — An alternative cosmology that doesn’t require dark energy may have the effect of putting the Milky Way near the center of the universe. That’s not the only interpretation, but it is being considered....

“So a hit man for the mafia, who was baptized as an infant, who observed all the appropriate Catholic milestones and was a member in good standing, is a Christian?”
Why did you choose that example? I find your comment to be a bigoted, hateful stereotype of Italians.
How do you feel about such paragons of your brand of the faith as Robert Tilton, Benny Hinn, Jimmy Swaggart, Jim Bakker, etc.?
What a bald faced lie. Read you comment in post 193 to Godgunsguts on this thread alone. I'll copy and paste it here for you and others to read. You are not a Christian, but a cultist.
...as you (pl) have denied the Christianity of Catholics, Episcopalians, Lutherans, etc.
Sure you have. Your posting history shows it without going past the most recent page.
You've labeled GGG, tpanther, myself, and others as cultists.
You are doing the very thing you condemn in others.
Well first nothing was said about Italians, you assumed that metmom was speaking of Italians, so the bigotry belongs to you.
Who but you says Tilton, Hinn, Swaggart, Bakker are paragons?
No one here says that but people who are trying to deflect.
tisk tisk bw.
Kind of the general, overall, evo-obsession with that kind of thing. It's certainly not the first time it's been addressed by evos and I'm sure it won't be the last time.
Cultmom, Cultmom, Cultmom...
In the same post from which you have selectively excerpted, I also wrote the following: “No, I have only labeled a cult that small group of noisy, obnoxious, holier-than-thou freepers who claim that all things Christian must pass through them.”
I believe the exclusion of that sentence absolves me of your “bald-faced liar” accusation and solidifies your standing as a fraudulent cultist in the manner of GGG.
As opposed to YOUR checklist to assess another's Christianity?
On what basis and authority do you deny others their Christianity?
On what basis and by whose authority do you get to label those who disagree with you as *cultists*?
Tell me, why do you feel that it's OK to do the very thing you condemn in others. How do you justify it?
“Well first nothing was said about Italians, you assumed that metmom was speaking of Italians, so the bigotry belongs to you.”
Shame upon you! She mentions mafia in a post about Catholics and you claim that she was not referring to Italians? LIAR! LIAR! LIAR!
Wow! Cult drama does feel good!
I have no such checklist. If someone says they’re a Christian, I believe it without demanding paperwork in triplicate.
Except you cultists, of course.
Wow. Liar. Who’s a liar? You.
Why do you assume that all Italians are Catholic, got news for you buddy they are not.
I really think your statement “cult drama” is true......because you play it well.
tsk tsk tsk
My brand of faith? What is that? Have you got me all labeled already? What are you assuming about what I believe?
Apparently, irony and sarcasm are lost on you. Please prepare a list of literary and dramatic devises that elude you and I’ll try to address your limitations in my posts to you.
Is Robert Tilton a Christian?
Poor bw does allot of assuming - huh?
And bw really doesn’t like to answer questions.......oh well.
Now that is just silly, if something is eluding me, how can I list them?
Does not a hit man kill people for hire? Is a hitman a Christian if he is baptized as an infant and faithfully observes all the appropriate Catholic milestones and is a member in good standing of the Catholic Church?
After all, if the criteria for being a Christian is faithfulness to denominational teachings and observances, then it is apparently irrelevant to you whether they actually follow Jesus example or not.
Believe what you want. Your posting history demonstrates otherwise and is available for all to see.
The facts are there and your denial of them is an exercise in futility.
That’s a near-touche! However, knowledge is sometimes categorized as:
- The things you know
- The things you know you that don’t know
- The things you don’t know that you don’t know.
You can list those that fall into the second category.
This, too, is sarcasm.
It was a bigoted statement associating mafia hitmen to Catholicism. What other link is there other than the Italian stereotype?
You call youself a Christian? You’re a hater. A hater!
Ok, how would I know that I don’t know something?
Thank you. Have a nice day!
