I'm not sure if you're challenging my point here or propping it up. Seems to me that what you're saying only adds to the religious dissonance/sectarianism...thus, supplying more fuel to the anti-religious pyre. :idunno:

artie to JR, about me:
wow
you really care about who "thanks" a particular post or poster?
what a pathetic immature loser
yep, inzl and i never had much to do with each other
i can't imagine why that would matter to you :idunno:
or what it says about your obsessiveness that you remember that I said it, years ago :dizzy:
it's a good bet you'd be wrong :chuckle:
still haven't figured out how ignore is supposed to work, eh? :darwinsm:
i believe JR is free to do whatever he wants, regardless of how it might offend your tender sensibilities
doser suggests a reason why artie has me on ignore:

there are churches who no longer follow scriptural precepts regarding hot button social issues, like homosexuality, adultery, divorce, and abortion, to a lesser degree
they identify as "Christian", but I don't recognize them as such

it's pride, a rejection of God in favor of what they think should be truth

Yeah, why even bother to identify as "Christian" I wonder? :idunno: I see this a lot with younger people. Often, though, it's simply that they do not read or study the Scriptures.
Taking God's name as their own to make it seem like they have authority on matters they know little to nothing about.
I'd say it's a majority of Christians (and "Christians" too), young, middle aged, and old who don't study.

one thing (maybe the only thing) that I miss from interacting with Squeaky was the odd Bible searches I'd often go on to refute his silly nonsense - often they'd lead to something totally unexpected, something I hadn't encountered or considered before
in a way, his rejection of God strengthened my relationship with God
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it. - Isaiah 55:11 http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah55:11&version=NKJV

Not only that, but he came right out and admitted that he, The Barbarian, is a political non-Christian:
Nobody is gonna buy it if he tries to lie, saying that he's not political. Everybody knows he's political. So, by his admission that he's not a political Christian (as he leaves no room for doubt that he despises political Christians), he is admitting that he is a political non-Christian.
He's had me on "ignore" for months.

And who can blame him?
"LOL".

I can't blame him. Were I forced to stonewall against all 7djengo7's questions, like Arthur Brain is forced to do, I'd probably have the good sense to put 7djengo7 on "ignore", too, rather than to hang around begging for attention from 7djengo7, like Arthur Brain does. The Barbarian, despite his failure to deal with the questions I asked him, at least has that particular good sense.
HOW DARE YOU STEAL MY LOL SHTICK!!!
Oh, wait...you didn't. You just can't bear to write LOL without quotes around it, like I can. Mine is the LOL shtick, not the "LOL" shtick. Sorry: Your effort, once again, is entirely wasted, Arthur B:rain:. Not a drop on me.

Poor Arthur Brain: a static, pedestrian "wit" that just can't seem to evLOLve enough to meet the repartee challenges of the modern internet forum. At least he's consistent in his hatred of intelligent design by refusing to apply it to any of his TOL posts.
I've gotten to where I don't put much stock in any polls.
They keep coming up with figures of who is and who isn't, but they have never asked me what I was and I don't know anyone that they did ask.
But if they are going by church building attendance I can see it declining.

Oh, I say! What a sterling example of...ignorance. See, I don't have any issues with there being a creator of life, far from it in fact. The only issue I have is with people who insist - through their own dogmatic belief system - that it has to have come about via their own terms and in a particular time scale that fits in with that system. Big difference.
Now, as you've noted in a previous response, I'll be absolutely besides myself if you don't respond to this post so, please, please answer with some devastating wit that would make Wilde & Twain cower in a corner somewhere!
Or don't, whichever...
