Also, fun muffin may have the gayest username on the board, which I think is great.

Yeah, it's ironic like pigfuuker.

That was a great username fwiw.

There is a palpable desperation to PW's professed belief in the bible's legitimacy.  That kind of hyperbole speaks volumes.   

Are you implying that no one on this site treats their views on atheism similarly?

No, just an observation.  If that's what gets him by then good for him.  He's honest about it.  I respect the honesty.  I don't consider what I may or may not believe to be in competition with PW's beliefs, as long as he's not attempting to force others to live by his beliefs of course.  I've never been even remotely interested in trying to talk someone out of being religious.  As long as it is limited to how you live your life, I don't care what you believe if it gets you through the day.  What a terrible thing to try to rob someone of.  Unfortunately that is not always the case, what with your jihads, Crusades, WBCs, Salem witch trials, etc.  I don't view that as a religion problem though, not at its core.  That's a humanity problem.

And FSD enters the conversation with the be tolerant of others right to be intolerant talking point. Classic.

Why don't people have to be tolerant of my intolerance of their intolerant point of view?  Seem like this is a 2 way street and I'm just hooking a U-turn

yeah, it really gets confusing. you go down that road far enough and you end up being intollerant of yourself.

because your modern mindset doesn't offer you a framework you can use to judge others' beliefs.  pw covered that.

Fun muffin has stood strong and taken some abuse in this thread. I commend him on that

Yeah, I really don't. He's burying his head into the sand that is carm.org to justify demeaning others. How can you respect that?

PW has been a pretty good sport/bigot in this thread as well!

It sure was uplifting to see god answer the prayers of those three women and child that were being held captive in Ohio yesterday.  just imagine how horrible that experience would have been without god and jesus watching over them. 

Luke 11 9:10
And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.

Pretty sure those girls were/are fornicators.  They are going to hell.

Some of the messages being put forth by these churches seem pretty gay.

My heart goes out to these women and the child.  They've had to endure the unthinkable and my heart breaks for them.

I will never claim to understand why God allows things like this to happen.  What I do know is that God is good and that He has a sovereign plan to work all things together for good.

Perhaps God allows these types of things to happen so that we can see just how truly awful sin is.  We live in a sinful, broken world.  But I believe that one day Jesus will come back and make all things new, ending all pain and suffering once and for all. 

And who knows, maybe that child will grow up and make a positive difference in the world.

Collins Memoir turned down by publisher.  I find it interesting that Collins is contacting publishers, instead of the other way around.  Guy's at the end of his career, becoming a free agent, likely won't be picked up...  Good timing for his announcement, I suppose.

Morality was given as an example of why it is ok for animals to be homosexual but not humans.

Looks like animals are def going to hell.
