Well thanks. The red username gives away the holiday that the mods sent me on.
Well that must make it easier for you then. Because whether you want to show it love or not, it does demand it, apparently.
No, indeed. And think how much easier it would have been if you hadn't beaten yourself up over christian dogma.
Dear Stuu,
Why do they give you holidays all of the time??
God does not demand your love. Oh, I haven't been beaten up so badly that I don't still love Him very much. I don't mind much at all that it is difficult to travel down the road that leads to where I'm going. Hey Stuu, I'm really glad to hear from you again and really MISSED YOU!! I wish you would not get banned so much. Did you notice that I became a Lifetime Member??
Maybe it's not really there. Perhaps it is just another god invented by fearful or ambitious humans. I'm sure you would agree that at least some of the invented 10,000 gods you don't believe in come into one of those categories. I just go one god further than you.
Perhaps it is, Stuart. But most likely, it's not. I've had too many experiences in my life that make it impossible to think anything else possible. Didn't you know that I have been visited by an angel and he said, "Fear God and give glory to Him, for the 'hour' of His judgment has come upon all of the earth, and worship Him Who made the earth and heaven, and the sea, and the fountains of waters." This is only one little part that has happened to me in my life. How could I believe any other way?
Mark 3:29 says that blasphemy is enough to ensure my permanent destruction in burning sulfur. I have blasphemed intentionally, just to avoid an eternity with your monstrous god. But then, it doesn't exist, so it was really just for fun that I took its name in vain.
Well, Stuart, I even have swore at God once and He loved me through it anyway. I know this is all fact. I was robbed in Miami a couple years after God first visited me and I was livid. And I used the four-letter word to God and I really regret it. It was only $16, but back then, that was a whole week's worth of groceries and bus fare. They really had me hoodwinked, the two guys who robbed me.
I always find my car drives more smoothly, even when I have only washed the windows or done something irrelevant to smooth riding! I guess I must be driving more carefully after spending time cleaning it!
39,000. And counting.
Yes, Stuu, my car is clean. I am going to get it detailed though, so it's just right. I need something done with the headlights, etc., and a couple other things.
So there are 39,000 different denominations of Christians?? Surely no! Everyone has their own take on things I guess. It's a real shame.
I see. Are you full Southern Baptist, with all the homophobia, "instructing women to exhibit loving submission to their husbands", and the moronic promotion of teaching creationism in schools, thus proposing to abuse children intellectually by lying to them about natural history?
I couldn't respect that as a choice for anyone to make.
I shouldn't think that is likely. Not unless it is waiting for an opportunity to smite me.
Stuart
No, I am not Southern Baptist, thank God. No homophobia! My Pastor knows that I was gay before. It's not at all that way. They are very 'lenient' there. You can even wear blue jeans to the church service. That's all some have down here. You know, I'm in SouthWest Baptist land.
Oh Stuart, God is not waiting in the wings to smite you. You've got all the wrong ideas about Him! Southern Baptists are in Georgia, etc. On the east side of the U.S.
Well, I just love hearing from you dude!! I do hope you will try not to get banned for a while. You're a good friend and I do hope that someday, you will know that He loves you and has your own best interests in Mind. Just relax a bit, Stuu!!
Much Love Coming Your Way,
Michael
