The Religion Thread

[Boatrocker]

I'll accept that, given the fact that pigs are highly social and intelligent animals, with an intelligence level that is 3 times that of the
above-average Canadian. I guess that makes you a sub-pig...?

You asked a question, and I gave you an honest answer. As I said, no-one expects an intelligent response from you, least of all in the Religion Thread.

[Mr.B]

"There is no doubt that rstrong is more intelligent, not to mention more honest and with greater integrity and less cowardice than Mr.B. By Mr.B's "logic" that makes Mr.B a sub-Canadian and a sub-sub-pig."

Good one!

I will say that rstrong is more educated than myself; but intelligence is not always the result of "book learning". My last IQ score was 124, but now that I have developed CRS, I doubt that still holds true.

That I am dishonest and cowardly are your words; cultivated from years of your belittling and putting down others of differing opinions;
I take those insults with a grain of salt.

I'm not so dumb that I can't recognize yours and rstrong's baiting in order to get a rise out of me. Ho Hum.....

[Mr.B]

"You asked a question, and I gave you an honest answer. As I said, no-one expects an intelligent response from you, least of all in the Religion Thread."

You asked a question knowing full well what the answer is.

"You asked a question, and I gave you an honest answer. As I said, no-one expects an intelligent response from you, least of all in the Religion Thread."

Ah. Then we agree.

I took an IQ test on the Facebook that told me my IQ was 267.

Plebs.

[Vrede too]

... I will say that rstrong is more educated than myself; but intelligence is not always the result of "book learning"....

Once again, you're rejecting clear evidence.

That I am dishonest and cowardly are your words; cultivated from years of your belittling and putting down others of differing opinions;

Of course you do, dishonest coward. I cite specifics each time you prove it.

[Mr.B]

"I took an IQ test on the Facebook that told me my IQ was 267."

Facebook .... breakfast of champions.

[Mr.B]

"I take those insults with a grain of salt...."

"Of course you do, dishonest coward."

Dishonest Coward:
"I have asked banni to close my account and delete all of my posts."

Televangelist says Donald Trump is exactly like all of Jesus' disciples—all of them

... “If you look at the disciples that Jesus chose, they were all Donald Trump,” Joyner later declared. “Every one of them were Donald Trumps.” ...

Imagine a Last Supper painting with "“Every one of them" disciples grabbing a woman by the pussy.

[rstrong]

And with his Miss Kingdom of God bathing suit contests, there's be plenty of them around.

Now's The Time To Recommit To The (17th Century) Vision Of (Pastor) Roger Williams

Poll says most Americans want to keep political endorsements out of church

Interesting, I don't care as long as they aren't sleazebags trying to skirt campaign finance law by demanding to remain tax exempt while doing so.

[Mr.B]

I've never heard a pastor in ANY church I've been in endorse a political candidate. Our pastor has always stressed the importance of researching candidate's and voting by our personal convictions.

The Christian Law Association has adamantly advised the churches for years to refrain from ANY political favoritism in the pulpit because of the threat of losing their tax-free status as a RELIGIOUS Organization.
(tax-free status has been a source of irritation for the God-haters for years.)

Muslim NYPD officer says man threatened her, her son in Bay Ridge

Officer Elsokary says she parked her car nearby, and when she returned there was a man yelling at, and pushing her son. She then stepped in - and the man allegedly called her 'ISIS' and threatened to slit her throat before running off.

Also, self-identified Trump supporters doing the same thing are mentioned at the end of the short video.

The public library is just across the street from where I live and for the past six months or so there's been some kind of hit and run Christian rock band that will set up over there in the little park and play the three songs they know and then launch into some sort of pseudo sermon. This all happens (lately) at about 8:30 at night (the library closes at 8pm) and typically lasts about 45 minutes. I don't particularly mind it except that I'm only about 60 yards away and when the spirit is in them, I can't watch tv, read a book, or anything else that benefits from silence because this band is amplified and quite close. A couple of weeks ago I called the Parks and Recreation Department and conveyed the above and also asked how this event does not violate the separation of church and state clause.....they told me that no gatherings are permitted after 6pm in that park and that those folks do not have permission to be there. Well, on Tuesday Nov 29 at about 8:45pm the holy rollers started in with their thing. I had decided I'd had enough of this and went over there and got the license plate number of the vehicle towing the equipment van and then stood around a couple of minutes shouting "Shut up" until one of the brethren approached me. I told him basically why I was there and that he and his flock should not be there. He lied to me and told me they "had permission" to be there. I told him that I was going to fix that. They've not been back since then. Amen.

[Vrede too]

Lying must be a Christian thing, or did they mean "permission" from their parents?

I know your sound system. If they come back JTA can give you some suggestions as to what to play.

Just be careful not to *also* annoy the neighbors.
