The difference is you arent having a discussion. You are intentionally Inflaming and doing it directly at those who often choose to engage with you. Thats Natty Light level low brow.
It’s not all about you. Evangelical Christianity in America has been bad for the country for as long as I’ve been alive and it’s only getting more corrosive and vile. If people want to be part of it willingly fine but I don’t have to stand by and applaud. I will deride it and do everything I can to blunt the impact. Unfortunately that’s mostly by voting. Edit to add if someone says the Gators suck you don’t see me getting incredibly offended.
You are right. I am not having a discussion. You wrong. I am not "intentionally inflaming." I am giving my opinion. I have the right to do that without having to participate in some dumbass debate/discussion. I take offense to your insult. You hear an opinion - 58 years in the making - that you don't like & you make the false claim that it is intentionally "inflaming". that's bullshit. I have a right to have an opinion on the god of the bible. &, I don't have to pay the awful price of having to engage in some tortured debate to do so. As a christian who allegedly knows that bible, it seems inconceivable that you are so surprised that someone could read it & think god a dick.
My faith is literally a part of me.But if middle school pot shots are your thing, then you be you bae. ...And evangelical Christians do much of the feeding and clothing in this country. Sure there are outspoken idiots in the fold, but that happens in any group.
maybe you can show me the rule where engaging in a grown up discussion is a requirement for stating an opinion. Your lame, bullying post (AS A MOD)is my first ever in well over a decade of posting here, that I have reported. sorry you gots sky daddy issues.
Bullying? You said you didnt want a discussion so I gave you an option to avoid it. Leave the conversation.I didnt say it was a rule. Not even close.
of course not. I bet if I said, Xtain god is loving, just & forgiving, Tilly would not have called me out for having an opinion w/o engaging in debate. I like Tilly, btw. But, I guess we alls gots our issues.
Show me the rule I broke and I will edit myself. Pretty sure most will tell you I'm a very fair mod. And yes, I have edited myself before.
Doc, we always get along well. This isnt personal. But having an opinion is not the the same as using vulgar terms for something many of your fellow posters hold dear. I've never done that to you brother.
Lol. My point is, you said you didnt want a discussion... On a discussion board... I was giving you another option for the night. The hoops thread is rocking fwiw. As are the Gators tonight.
looked over your posts on this thread....not exactly grown up discussion...mostly just pot shots. Dick is concise & IMO euphemistic.
Maybe they just need a thicker skin. In the list of vulgarities calling God (something many here don’t believe in) a dick doesn’t really rank. I amreminded of that dick from the Catholic League who went ballistic anytime someone the Catholic Church.
I didnt say it ranked, but its unlike Doc in our conversations to choose that route. It didnt get deleted, so it didnt even break board rules.
I’ve met many (mostly reformed addicts or criminals) who were pretty terrible people before they found religion.
