Oh, MAN! Now I have to call first? Sheesh.
I called first only to find the doors and windows barred, armored, and bunkered, the front yard full of mines.
Granola mines, what hideously evil person does that?!
That you got that far indicates the high regard to which you are held.
Bad guys don't get past the Baptist Church at the end of the road.
True story.
And ... Starwise ... let me point out something here. Would I have a problem going to a restaurant, sitting down and having a nice conversation with you, over some coffee and/or a meal. No ... not at all.
Would I have any problem having you join along with a Tea Party group and demonstration somewhere and not want you around. No ... not at all.
Would I really hate talking to you and just not want you around, because I thought you were a terrible person and I couldn’t stand to be close by someone like you? No ... not at all.
That’s not how I think. And I can be totally against the Catholic doctrines and teachings and theology and still have a nice time with you or others from your church at some Tea Party gathering. It’s no problem at all.
I don’t get wrapped up on a personal level and in real life - with people and reject them. It’s just not the way I operate.
One time I ran into a Jewish rabbi who said he was on a list to come back to Israel to do the Temple duties and sacrifices - once they get it going again - when the Third Temple is built again in Jerusalem (which they are getting ready to do - in Israel).
And we talked over a period of time and it would end up being about Judaism and Christianity. The thing is - he wrote some books about how Christianity was false and an abomination and Jesus was a bastard child and he could prove it (and supposedly did so in the book). He was really emphatic on that - to me - but I didn’t react so to cut him off and quit talking to him any more in the future. I kept up a dialogue. He didn’t convince me and I didn’t convince him - but the last time I saw him - we were still friends and treated each other nicely.
We differed DRAMATICALLY on the theology - and he knew I was involved in a false and apostate religion. And I knew what the Bible said about refusing Jesus as the Son of God and Lord and Savior.
SO ... I could say that offerings and sacrifices in a Third Temple are practices from the Pit of Hell, and he can say that Christianity and Jesus are false and a false prophet and a bastard child.
We’re still friends ... :-)
He just wants your coffee, Darks.
What’s the TSO list? I guess I missed that. Did they leave me off? Darn!
I do believe you’re making up things out of your imagination right now. I would suggest that you go back and search any words of condemnation against a person. You’ll find no such words.
You might take a note of the comment I made about Geert Wilders (in another post not too long ago) and the VERY SAME PROCESS that liberals and multi-culturalist use over and over again - when people criticize the evil, murderous and violent IDEOLOGY of Islam and Sharia Law - while they do not hate Muslims or want to do them harm (either).
It’s a very similar position - as to what is being said here - and I run across liberals and multi-culturalist all the time who take your position. They usually “make up things” too ... in order to try and bolster their position and also to “put words into other people’s mouths”.
Now perhaps you “think” I said something to a person ... but if you’re wondering about that ... just go back and read it and you’ll see it’s totally and completely about doctrine, teachings and an institution and organization.
HG seems to have missed the part where my list is strictly one-sided. There is no "sad side." Quoth Wyatt to Johnny Ringo: "There's no money in it."
But.. but.. the granola!
[very traumatic!!]
With that coffee he could, dare I say it, Rue the World?
T - truly
S - smart
O - operatives
or
?
I like being on such lists. The fact that I get under the skins of those who so willing toss aside principles and or serve other agendas is a badge of honor.
Why won’t you answer what church denomination that you attend?
Yeah.. been there, done that.. still limping.
Hey! Finny posted this to me! You just denied me my right as a FReeper to respond directly to my accuser. Your name is being struck from both sides of my new list now.
Yeah!! Now you’ve done it, gunner, you dope! ;^)
I have no clue what you said, I have no interest in
what you said, and I sincerely hope to avoid any
discussions with you in the future, for what’s quite
amazing to me, oh all knowing, learned and wise one,
... is that in all your droning on and words, words,
words am I aware ... that you uttered these humble
words:
in .... my .... opinion
Your speculations and opinions matter no more than
anyone else’s on the subject.
