Hi Eric,
I don't bother with things like that. My motto is :

We aren't you people, we are a cross section of people that find you and your ideas too much like the Middle Ages hey everybody let's find a pilgrim to burn, that will keep God happy.
Describing you as narrow and sick is a compliment.

No .
If you say things on the forum you should be prepared to back them up , to clarify them or to answer questions about them .
You made this statement: " We are COMMANDED to tell the gospel. Nothing further is required of us."
What I want to know is whether you believe that Jesus requires nothing of his followers other than to tell the Gospel .

And that's it ... you probably sit there with a self-satisfied, fatuous smirk on you face, and that's all you can come up with? Well, there ain't much point in debate is there? So, you might as well just go - forth -and - multiply off then.

I thought it was only me that saw a veiled threat in there...but no Less sees it that way too. Surely we cannot both be wrong?
K99....I don't know where you have been in the time you have been away.......but I really do hope that you gp back there very soon.
You are a pain in the Astrakhan coat! And no mistake.

Margaret, I hope you watch the simpsons, there's a religious fool on there that even the parson can't stand.
How cartoon life must be reflected with this guy, I bet his parson groans whenever he turns up, then feels terrible because he pretended to agree just to get rid of him.

Re: Christian Science
Hi Kevin ... Before you go ... and may it be soon, because the fun is wearing thin ... consider this: If there is a God, there is more of him in the purr of a contented cat than there is in all your mindless bible pounding.

Re: Christian Science
If i were to believe in a god and worship said god. I would be worshiping a monster. To think a loving-creating-god would create all this beauty and then fill it with human waste, and then turn away from all suffering... I would be worshiping a monster. That I cannot do. That I refuse to do. Yeah spout free will crap all you like. That is just an excuse that is fed to people as they question all the suffering in the world and ask why doesn't god intervene.

Not a good idea in my opinion ... as Oscar Wilde said, "When the gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers." (Although he may have got it from the ancient Greeks. ) Come to think of it tho', Oscar Wilde might not be a good authority; 'cause as that great fundamentalist christian, the recently deceased Fred Phelps, said, "God Hates Fags."

Re: Christian Science
I woke up to a miserably dark and wet morning and thought to brighten things up I would get my daily dose of Acc’y Web. Much to my surprise I find that K99WARD has reappeared. His postings don’t do anything to improve the day for me, still the same old, same old, but I have enjoyed reading the replies which have more than made up for this. Too many to give ‘likes’ to but take it as read.
I normally respect other people’s beliefs – but unfortunately as far as K99 is concerned this is not reciprocated, so I don’t feel bad about joining in – which I suppose is what K99 hopes for, the bigger the audience the more he feels he is doing (his) God’s work.
Got a lot of catching up to do – so many postings overnight (our time) but have picked a few so here goes:
Posting 666 – oops, just noticed the number, good one to start on - maybe enough said! You really do have a big opinion of yourself K99. Whatever you may think, this week is NOT all about you.
Accyexplorer – you need to read earlier postings on this thread and then you would know what Maxthecollie meant on posting 671.
Posting 687 – as already mentioned K99 you really are full of yourself – not very humble. Tut! Tut!
Posting 711. That’s not very nice – sounds like the ‘little helpmeet’ (Accyexplorer see posting 452 for explanation) was passed from pillar to post (or man to man). Not much respect shown for women.
Posting 720. K99, irrespective of what you have tried to portray, you apparently don’t know it all yourself but need a back-up. Disappointed in you!
K99 – please don’t take posting 726 seriously, i.e. DON’T go forth and multiply, one of you is enough. (Sorry, Eric, you know he won’t take any notice of what you really mean – too thick-skinned).
…and to finish off for now, Eric (posting 706) I tried being a born-again virgin but it doesn't work……

Re: Christian Science
I read this in a book once..
Given all the evil in the world, how can an all powerfull, all knowing, merciful God exist?
Either God knows about evil, cares about it but cant do anything about it..in which case he is not all powerful, or...
He cares about it, can do something about it, but doesn't know about it, in which case he is not all knowing, or.....
He knows about it, can do something about it but doesn't care about it, in which case he is neither merciful or compassionate....
well?????

But the God you describe would create robots not humans.
And I am not a robot.
Neither are you?
