So my comment in another thread noting that if you put someone on ignore you can't see their posts quoted by others got deleted as 'thread derailment,' so I'll put it here.

For those who aren't aware, if you have someone on ignore with XenForo, you can't see their posts quoted by others, which makes it a complete ignore. This wasn't the case with the old forum software, and it's a nice feature to have now.

God protects me from the kung flu by keeping me healthy and fit, not by hiding behind an ineffective mask.

God also protects me from evil doers by providing me with the means to do so which includes effective tools like an assault rifle.

A more appropriate analogy would have been an ineffective tool of protection like a squirt gun or a fly swatter.

Try to do better next time😘

CA GOP Suggests 5G Trackers In Vaccines: Hilarity Ensues​

Seriously, this Republican is an elected official. Republican Orange County voters are to blame for this person being in office to ask questions like this: "We heard about an injection of a tracking device. Is that being done anywhere in Orange County?"​
​
Dr. Chau should not have apologized for LAUGHING. But he did.​
​
"I'm sorry, I just have to compose myself," Chau said. "There is not a vaccine with a tracking device embedded in it that I know of, ...in the world, period."​
​
Don Wagner is also a total hypocrite.​
​
He got his shot three weeks ago.​

‘He’s screwed over so many publishers’: Trump confronts a skeptical book industry​

The former president insists he has offers from two of the “most prestigious publishing houses.” None of the major five said they extended one.

Their reluctance is driven by several factors, though the underlying fear is that whatever Trump would write wouldn’t be truthful.

“t would be too hard to get a book that was factually accurate, actually,” said one major figure in the book publishing industry, explaining their reluctance to publish Trump. “That would be the problem. If he can’t even admit that he lost the election, then how do you publish that?”

That is like saying if you believe God will supply all your needs then you should allow democrats to take all your money instead of just a large portion of it. An assault weapon is the best defensive weapon against criminal shooters with guns, and masks do nothing to stop the passage of coronavirus particles, according to most experts who are not afraid to tell the truth.

Okay, I'll just pick up on this bit. Dude, I've been on this forum for twenty years, from back in its heyday, when I could go to work in the morning and by lunchtime there'd be forty plus threads bumped with all sorts of lively discussions going on. During that time, I've had many invigorating discussions and debates with people of all manner of beliefs and political viewpoints including conservative Christian men (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘸𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯). I've had respect for and made friends with a few (vegascowboy springs instantly to mind) because they could properly debate and make their points clearly, without recourse to petty insults, facile assumptions of character based on disagreements and ad homs. So, if you think I'm trying to be some ridiculous figure with a hatred of Christianity and Christians then you're way off the mark.

No, what I will speak out against is extremism, be that political, religious or else as I consider it to be one of the banes of society. So, you might consider it to be railing against Christianity when I argue against having a patriarchal society as some propose or the persecution and execution of homosexuals, enforced marriages for couples having sex outside of wedlock with no possibility of divorce or holding children as young as five as accountable for their actions as an adult and executing them. AFAIC, it would be wrong 𝘯𝘰𝘵 to argue against such extreme positions as they reflect the 𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴 of actual Christianity.

You're not trying to explain to me how the world works, you're trying to explain how you 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘬 the world should work which is an entirely different thing altogether. I already know how it works thanks, I've lived in it for 54 years and learned lessons, both good and bad, through the experience of life itself. My days of youthful ignorance and naivety are long since gone so you're welcome to your opinions about a narrative I haven't actually got or that I'm on the way to hell (yeah, haven't heard that before) or some such.

That's a great post. So well said. Thank you for saying it, and your posts have always clearly reflected that you've never had animosity towards Christians simply for being Christians.

Speaking of other Christians we were friends with who were civil and intelligent debaters: Selaphiel, Son of Jack, kmoney, and exminister come to my mind first, and yet there were so many more than that. Desert Reign, RIP. Psalmist, RIP. Most of the good ones are gone, both figuratively and literally.

Yes, there were several great posters and all of the ones you mention warranted respect and we were both good friends with Selaphiel, Kmo and SoJ. I hope they're doing well.
