Hi this is rainee
and I'm not an alcoholic (at least I don't think I am because I'm not drinking :noway: )
One request would be if you are drinking - stop it.
And why not set up an AA club here at the forums.
Next a word to the Calvinists please.
I don't know and so can't be sure but if any tone has improved here at TOL towards Calvies it has probably more to do with me than you.
I came here wanting to win people not be arrogant or insulting. I do not believe in whipping the weak - no - quite the contrary, I believe in whipping the strong.
Now I'm sorry I have to talk about me for a minute, I will try not to drone on like a fuzzy tiger who needs apparently some hairball medicine because he is really full of it.
I personally came here because I was hunting for PS82.
That's it.
That is the ONLY reason any of you have read one word of mine.
She is the only person who is like me that I know of.
And we are not much alike in many other ways!
She is not Calvinist, I am.
But she works with Scriptures and I can appreciate that.
Sometimes she is way over my head or compiling way too much too fast - but that is that.
Now I love Barbarian but I do not want you to misunderstand -
It is because of PS 82 that I do not mind if people are here who work with Scriptures in wild and zaney ways.
She likes it here and you have to have people here who work with Scriptures.
Now to the rest of you Christians, not just Calvies, I told Trad I made a connection between the "son of perdition" and "the seed" of the
serpent as spoken of in Genesis.
First I did it because I could do it - but I also did it because I thought it would be good.
That's right, I think I can work with Scriptures, and I think it can be good when I share with you who cannot. And I think most cannot.
But I also did it because Bybee called me pedantic! So I did it because I could, I thought it would be good, and I was made angry
by one of you. I think that will only work that way once.
Now to the unbelievers - what can I say?
I'm just angry and disgusted at many of you.
I do not doubt you are foolish and self destructive and
in some ways incredibly not smart.
You are sucking the life out of the very forum you enjoy so much. You are shameless in this. But you should be ashamed. You lack wisdom.
How could I stay around you?
