...do we really want to add insult to injury?

Well, uh, YES.

Biblical literalism or only "lukewarm" Biblical literalism: believing only part of the bible but conveniently ignoring the other parts of the Bible that aren't so nice.

Huh? What has literalism to do with ignoring? It has to do with interpretation. The nasty parts are not ignored, they are kept.

As to your link, in your first example you are severely misinterpreting that part of the Bible. You should reread the whole chapter and not pick one section and misinterpret it. If you want me to explain, I will.

eat the children of your enemies Deuteronomy 28 53 Because of the suffering that your enemy will inflict on you during the siege, you will eat the fruit of the womb, the flesh of the sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you. 57 the afterbirth from her womb and the children she bears. For she intends to eat them secretly during the siege and in the distress that your enemy will inflict on you in your cities.

we're not nearly as stuffy and stuck-up as those Protestant types

After all, the Latin requirement for Mass was removed. ;^>

[VadeRetro]

Don't you ever get tired of posting about your operation?

I'm over it. I felt imperfect for a while, a gall-bladder amputee, an organ gimp. But I realize that the GB was keeping me from being absolutely, totally physically perfect, so it had to go.

But I do wonder if people with very healthy gall bladders might not be doing something or other better than I am.

Anyway, the kind of shape-shifting of which I am accused has no relationship with surgery. I am not the Michael Jackson of posters.

My shape-shifting is somebody else's way of not facing that his act may be playing poorly in Peoria.

If there are no dues or meetings, I'll join.

The organization has my blessings, as long as we're all free to carry on, perfectly oblivious to its existence.

[VadeRetro]

I would join too, but since you are a Fig Newton of my imagination it would be an act of self-reverence.

Reality of existence does not seem to be a requirment of membership. You're free to join, and if you do, we will add "No-Kin" to the membership list too. (Two new members, zero gall bladders between the pair of them.)

Does it not also say.."judge not, lest ye be judged"? Oldcats

The Bible does say...Evil people DO NOT have judgement--discretion--know right/Truth from wrong/lies..."but they who seek the Lord--righteousness WILL KNOW ALL THINGS"...

The judgement we are suspended from is condemning because only God ultimately knows who will be saved or not!

But that doesn't mean we are blind---stupid---ignorant of what is happening!

"I Wish I Was In Peoria"

By B Rose, M Dixon, & H Woods;1925

S.O.S! S.O.S!
Captain, we are lost!
Our ship is floundering in the sea,
By wind and rain we're tossed!
Lifeboats here, lifeboats there!
Hear the shrieks and moans!
The captain cried, "All hands on deck!"
And said in trembling tones,
Oh, how I wish I was in Peoria.
Peoria, tonight
Oh, how I miss the girls of Peoria
Peoria, tonight
Why you can pick a morning gloria
Right off the sidewalks of Peoria!
Oh, how I wish I was in Peoria!
Peoria, tonight!

[VadeRetro]

Mind-boggling, but apparently I Wish I Was in Peoria has been recorded many times.

We can do anything "we" want. In fact, there's only one non-AndrewC poster. He types very, very fast.

"Evil people DO NOT have judgement--discretion--know right/Truth from wrong/lies"
Are you calling me evil? Again with the judgements. Did God Himself appoint you to judge others? Ever heard of the phrase "holier-than-thou"? I doubt anyone here would deny that that is your attitude. Your air of superiority is beginning to sound like the boastings of a pridefilled man.
"but they who seek the Lord--righteousness WILL KNOW ALL THINGS"...
Are you caliming to be righteous? If so, you know ALL things? Again, that sounds a bit prideful to me. But that is not for me to judge.

I'm going out to dinner. I'll be back as Ingrid Bergmann in Casablanca.

How about Deborah Kerr in "An Affair to Remember"? It's bigger with the ladies.

"On the other side, we have a few brave souls trying to explain that reality DOES exist, it IS knowable, that evolution DOES have a huge foundation of easily verifyable evidence, that it DOES hang together rationally, and that although it seems to contradict scripture -- the principle objection, I fear -- it won't be the first time this has happened (thus the many references to Galileo and the solar system and the shape of the earth)."

Evolution reminds me of child molestation with dirty movies--pictures(charts-diagrams)...anybody can get indoctrinated--programmed by lies--liars--perverts!

How they do it..."real love"--your mommy--daddy(God) doesn't---they are a fraud---here's the evidence---you are cheated being used by them!

Did Galileo believe in Evolution--was man--religion supposed to be scientifically correct--perfect...does this make you right---granted sainthood--infallibilty--a license to do whatever you want.

This is a scam---"con" artistry---"evolution"!

I'm glad you're getting something you can relate to out of all this.

[f.Christian]

projection...what evolution--liberalism does is portray Conservative--republicans as frauds and themselves as genuine---not complicated the MO!

I never said it wasn't ... GOTCHA!

Actually, I have several recordings of it by Turk Murphy's San Francisco Jazz Band. My wife and I used to dance to it at Turk's nightclub, Earthquake McGoons.
