#404. To: A K A Stone (#403)
You mean the host that quotes Exodus about how people of a religion he detests should not be suffered to live. you mean that one? Perhaps he could use a wee bit more politesse and respect for human life in his presentation, yes? Perhaps too, it would behoove said forum functionary to not call people liars to bait them because he feels the view he calls false does not match the stereotype he feels is how all people to the left of him is. I never gave you back in forum anything you did not richly deserve. You should think about that.
This isn't Canada. People can quote scripture. Why do you hate the Bible? What the Bible says about witches is true. I say it as a someone concerned for you.
Do you square or trim your beard, eat shellfish or do any of those spoken against as bad by various people who wrote that religious tome? There are plenty of old testament passages that are wacko. It was as big a crime as the Shoah against Jews in WW II to kill people by the thousands over religious disagreement in the 15th century in England and other parts of Europe. Often it was done just to do in a political enemy or 'uppity' woman; or one who was old and merely talked to herself, or her animals. And you say it you do it to bait and belittle. I am not ever fooled by your attempts to be coy. No one is.
Stalking is creating a thread about posters with whom you have occasional disagreements and inviting the whole forum to pile on while you openly try to create animosity for those same posters on other forums. Too bad it backfired so badly on you. Boo Hoo

If Christianity were merely a philosophy or a political idea, no one would be bound to believe it. There are rival schools of philosophy; there are rival teachings and theories, and one person believes this and another that. But what we are facing here is not what you and I believe, but facts, and the facts are about this person called Jesus—what He did and what He said and the meaning of His person. So there is nothing more tragic than when men and women say, “Shut your Bibles; the facts don’t matter at all. What does it matter whether Jesus was a man, or God as well as man?” They have got it all wrong. It is the person who matters most of all.
Sorry dude, he more than likely did not exist, and that religion was formulated and groomed for the purpose to exercise social control over people. I have zero use for Christianity, and no belief in it in the slightest bit. I never have, and that sort of thing will never happen. You have leave to feel what you want about it, but I have no toleration for intolerance of others over religion; whether the Jihadist is Islamic, or Christian. Try to force me to comply with belief, and get reciprocal force back atcha.
Sorry dude, he more than likely did not exist, and that religion was formulated and groomed for the purpose to exercise social control over people. I am not here to force anything on you, rather I am here to witness to the FACTS of the Gospel, which are solid historical EVIDENCES. Myth? There is enough evidence to send ten men to the gas chamber. That said, I will not force what I know for certainity on you. Your blood is on your head.
Like the word says willingly ignorant. We all choose where we go in the afterlife. You have willingly chose the hot place. I pity you fool.
Likewise, you arrogant dumb shit.
That is so sales pitch oriented only. It has nothing to do logically with the inherent nature of living things to move to a higher plateau of consciousness. As a Wicca practitioner, I have been very forgiving of Stone's childishness in his ineffective bull in a china shop routine trumpeting your religion. I am left very satisfied I am comporting myself religiously far better than some of you Christians. No complains against you specifically, but some of you all are ate the fuck up when it comes to allegedly witnessing your faith to those of us who will never want to hear any more about the sales pitch we reject. I'm glad your faith gives you comfort, but it does nothing for me, and never will. I never believed it when I was coerced to go to church as a child, and I will never return to a faith I never had in the slightest bit.
What do you get from your Wicca faith?
Mike probably doesn't see Wicca as a faith, but it clearly is his faith.
Everyone has some sort of faith. It is hotwired into humans to have faith in something even if it is only yourself.
Stone has been a poison pill dampening that aspect of religious discussion. He has harassed me about my strong religious beliefs since before he had a forum. Any place like this one where he is the moderator is going to be a place of hatred and loathing of anyone not Christian or Jewish. I would love to answer you; but not in this climate. he has to grow up and learn to respect others before that sort of discussion is remotely possible at flamerland.
You're ashamed of your "faith". Good.
Translation: I like Wiccan because there's no 10 commandments or hell, so anything goes! God bless Stone for keeping FM from revealing the truth. /s Your cop out excuse is weak, very weak.

Too bad more Christians don't practice their 'faith'.

Fuck off. I am disgusted by your childish and intolerant nature.
Nice picture of you, hope your split tongue heals well.
Cop out? your spin is stupid. I am supposed to discuss something that causes the childish and immature forum moderator to whine because everyone is not as toxic in their religion as him and that's a cop out? I don't think so. Talk about weak bait. Very amusing Hondo, very amusing.
Stone is very self centered and malicious, and he uses his faith to bait others with. Perhaps the boy will grow up someday, but I doubt it.
You presume I am here to continue posting as usual on your site. The religious topic is hardly the only thing I have written off as a useless exercise in discussion with you. You are no one I feel comfortable talking to on many things, not just my faith. I am concerned you are increasingly removed from reality and irrationally insulting and aggressive. You are not a good choice of a person to discuss much of anything with. Hope this reality check helps.
Mike, you ignorant slut... When are you going to make good on your promise to stop posting on this site?
Mike. I am intolerant of evil. I want to squash it like a bug. Mike you are a cockroach. You aren't a cultural American. Your religion is the path to Satan. Your religion is that of murderers. I spit on the wiccan "religion". Now watch your mouth or I will give you the boot.
If you don't like it here leave and never come back. You will hardly be missed. This is a pro American website. Not a satanist website. I will mock your religion as long as you are here. I don't care for it. I certainly have no respect for it or its adherents. It isn't even a religion you have. It is just a bunch of stupid beliefs by drug abusers and losers.
Not to bait little dweeb. To bash your sick Obama voting ass with. You voted for the destruction of America. You aren't a real American. You should consider leaving this land, it isn't for you and your satanists. It is for christians and people with values. You have none. None at all.
I'm red hot. God doesn't want luke warm. But you don't know about God you only know about you pretend "goddess" who is actually the devil.
They would never leave because they know anywhere else they go they probably wouldn't be around very long..... besides that the handouts are too enticing!!
A taxpayer that votes for Obama is like a chicken that votes for Col Sanders!!!!
Your childish and quite pedestrian baiting does not bother me, and impresses very few in here.
I pity you fool. Jeremiah 17 says it all: 5 Thus says the Lord: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man And makes flesh his strength, Whose heart departs from the Lord. 6 For he shall be like a shrub in the desert, And shall not see when good comes, But shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, In a salt land which is not inhabited. 7 “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, And whose hope is the Lord. 8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear[b] when heat comes; But its leaf will be green, And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. 9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can know it? 10 I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, Even to give every man according to his ways, According to the fruit of his doings. 11 “As a partridge that broods but does not hatch, So is he who gets riches, but not by right; It will leave him in the midst of his days, And at his end he will be a fool.”
What does your faith say about abortion? Is it murder or a choice?
I am against abortion. Generally my faith is like the Christian one; some support a woman's choice to do so, some don't. This is another reason I don't care for the jerk owning this forum. I give my opinion on this topic, and he capriciously and maliciously claims I believe the opposite.
Just the facts. You voted for Obama. Pro abortion. You voted for Gore. Pro abortion. You voted for Kerry. Pro abortion. You voted for Clinton. Pro abortion. You voted for Dukakis. Pro abortion. You voted for Mondale. Pro abortion. You voted for Carter. Pro abortion. Was McGovern Pro abortion too? Your record is the record of a pro abortionist. Actions speak louder then words. I expect you to vote for pro abortion Obama this election. You are a known liar.
I am anti-abortion. And any interlocutor with so much hubris and insanity they would argue against a person having a view they have had for seventeen years is too stupid to take serious except as a wacko. Face it Stonie, you can't stand having people support an end to abortion who once believed in it. But that is exactly what we need to have happen to end the procedure. Good political advocacy involves spending time and energy working to change opinions; not crucifying those who once supported abortion. If you succeed in pissing people off enough to change ther minds again to be pro-choice, what have you accomplished? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory? What a waste of time and energy that could be spent in advocacy to end abortion. You are insane and a clown who cares more about baiting fellow anti-abortion advocates than in ending the practice. Go away boy; you bother me. You probably upset any farm animals you get close to too.
If you succeed in pissing people off enough to change ther minds again to be pro-choice, what have you accomplished? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" If you are sincere in what you say in the first place, NOTHING stone says, or anyone else for that matter, will change your mind, if you change your mind because someone pissed you off, you wern't honest to begin with. jmho!

Actually Moron with a U and extra r, people can be made to look agasp at some of the characters they are aligned with in the pro-life movement and decide that though they do not like abortion, they would rather the problem as it exists than to empower insatiable fanatics that are out for their blood for having once been pro-choice. If you want to make the difference in the life of a child and keep her or him alive, a wee bit of diplomacy and pragmatism works wonders to make people feel comfortable with a new way of looking at the issue. We are not going to get the numbers needed to stop the foul practice of abortion with routine fifteen minutes of hate sessions complete with torches and pitchforks to chide and belittle people for once believing in a pro-choice philosophy. One way of building consensus saves the lives of children, the other starts a cultural war and gives the pro-abortion ammunition. Of course though, your angle is a typical reflexive reactionary attitude toward anything I say. And you will not grasp the concept I explain that has always been a component in well organized and run activism. Now run along back to your still now mammy, you hear? You are a big a bother as boy Stonie.
I cannot speak for your faith, but those who profess to be Christian and are pro abortion are fooling themselves. They are obviously following a different Gospel preached by Jesus Christ. For the Christian the premise for pro Life is the Bible. What is your premise for being pro Life?
What you mean, you bloviating narcissist pig, is that I, like a few others, have your act down pat, we don't fall for your sugar coated politically correct bull shit, you never say anything without an ulterior motive. You're not here for anything as nobel as 'pro-life', you're here, in your own words, to "encourage anyone here to shun (stone's) your forum".... You've made your boast that if you ever get into a forum with stone again, you will 'kick his ass', well, I'm waiting, when does it begin, because so far, it's your ass that's getting kicked. You're a small minded person who has high ideas about himself, yet you've never created anything of importance yourself, you're no good at it, but you have proven yourself good at going from forum to forum, under anonymous psuedos, attempting to round up other's who will join you in the fun, attempting to destroy what another person has built up. You use people, you lie to them, and about them, you'll say anything to get them to let their guard down, you're a snake in the grass.... Loathing you, and everything about you Mike, is my only 'angle'. I may be a 'mammy' to you and the lil idiots who think you're cute, but I have your number, and you know it, and you hate me for it! jmho!
