Opinions and conclusions about Religion and God.

In case you are under the wrong impression, you are not obliged to read or reply to any message on this forum.

The only impression I get is you and your ilk tend to be quite rude when somebody does not share your belief system, even someone such as jar is not immune to your preaching and he is a believer.The OP from phat was put forth, I assume, for people to share their belief or lack there of and how that came to be, unfortunately they have to listen to your belittling attitude and I think that just puts people off, making it less likely they will comment on what they believe for fear of these attacks.Your not the only one but I’ve read plenty of your messages and you really take offence to others who attack your beliefs, so why the double standards?

Time will tell how you deal with probing into your own belief system. "You and your ilk" indicates the initial rumblings of what the future holds. You never seen Jar preach? Keep your eyes peeled for his signature "it really is as simple as that". Evc is awash with people expressing their belief systems. I detect little by way of fear. Defending ones view rigorously is not the same as taking offence. The degree with which I defend often reflects the intensity of 'attack'.And its something that swings both ways

I think you meant "vigorously" - not "rigorously". The lack of rigor is pretty obvious to everybody.

"You can catch more flies with honey than you can with vinegar"

Perhaps. But you can kill more flies with vinegar than you can with honey.The gospel is about killing people Phat - surely you know that.

"Somethin' draws flies besides sugar, honey."
-Wet Willie, "Baby's Gotta Bad Sweet Tooth"

This has class Omni - that doesn't

Got a question for you

Then, following an exhange between Phat and iano on catching more flies with honey than vinegar.... Well, well, it's the hoity-toity Father Ian, after all!That's another piece (along with the "hard gospel" :rolleyes of that somethin' else (we often call it bull, here) that draws flies.I've already paid my respects to Ringo's classy pun (and telling charge) in POTM, Iano, where I also noted your good humored reply: I guess you used that up in one shot. Too bad.Ta.

Its been one long turd of a weekend in Iano-land and I ain't seeing the funny side of much at the moment I'm afraid.Sorry for the hoity toity responseNight.

A soft reply turneth away wrath, iano, and I tip my hat to yours. I hope tomorrow is better.Sleep well.

I could argue this point, if just for practice.

Because you do not have psychic powers to predict the future.
