Dave, is this any way to greet a new poster? Looking at his/her member number, this looks like a brand new freeper. I notice you didn't call Irisshlass a 'drive thru' when she first posted.
No. Yours is actually much better. Consider the phrase stolen and appropriated for my own. Gracias.
I don't usually put out the welcome mat for people who start off talking about the history of priests raping nuns and having abortions. I guess it's a blind spot of mine.
For the record, "Thank you, drive thru" is from Beavis and Butt-head where they would work at Burger World and use this phrase to the bewildered customers they bewildered. I use it not to call someone a "drive thru," but rather to invite them to continue moving on. Nothing to see here. Drive on thru.

From that I had no way of knowing if that meant the subject was closed or what, so I waited since yesterday, and that's why I mentioned it.
Last reply until tonight, as I'm working on a deadline. I apologize again that you took offense at my lack of response. The 2nd sentence of my last long post to you reads:
As with your great response on the question of "firstborn," I'm going to devote some time to prayer and study and speaking with some of my Orthodox mentors, and then respond more. But I'll give a few thoughts now.
I don't believe that you should have assumed from this that I was ducking answering your follow up questions. This is why I attempted to joke with you earlier about not having "faith" in my getting back to you. Please tell me honestly if you are interested in my response. If not, I won't bother. If you are genuinely interested, I will.
Or do you "save" it by having it not get eaten in the first place?
Hey, I got both of those last week in a Chinese cookie. :)

Dang! Now who opened their mouth and told you???
Then why not just address the comments, even if just to say that it is ridiculous or baseless?
For the record, "Thank you, drive thru" is from Beavis and Butt-head where they would work at Burger World
So would that make you Beavis, or Butt-head? ;o) (uh huh, uh huh huh huh...)
I swear, I haven't watched it in years. :-)
(The fact that it hasn't been on in years helps.)

Is this were I use the term:
Sanctimonious pecksnif. :)
Beavis definitely was the originator of the phrase. But I'm definitely Butt-head. He was the brains of the operation. Beavis was really stupid.

Considering the historical record. If you are a European, an Asian, an African, an Indian, or a South American, and you are a Christian, it is because the Catholics spread the Gospel of the Lord to the whole world. Christ commanded the Apostles to preach the Good News to all nations. Are you saying the Catholic Church did not do that? Are you saying any white, black or asian american would even be a Christian today if the Catholics had not spread the Faith through Europe? Are you serious?
Without the amazing bounty yielded by the Catholic Church chances are that unless your people are from the eastern mediterranean you would today be an animist like your ancestors were before they were saved by Catholics.
Jesus knew his Gospel would spread across the whole world. There is no other movement, no other institution that has made this possible, only the Catholic Church.
I have known many Catholics who have had Miraculous events and cures happen in their lives as the result of their Faith and their Prayers. They are true Christians, and the true Christ works in their lives.
We are not the enemy.
Sanctimonious pecksnif. :)
Only if you want one of us to respond: "Heh heh. He said 'pecksnif.' Heh heh."
I would recommend you say: "Shut up, dumb@#$"

Agreed. Point, please?
