"On the contrare, and I'd like to know why you feel that I do not have that right?  I see no passage that says I am supposed to think equally of a nonbeliever that I do of a believer.  That is one of those prejudices that is Biblically justified."

How do you know that your interpretation of the bible is correct? there are many christian beliefs who heavily rely on the interpretation of the same bible. Where does your hubris and vanity come from? How do you know you're right, and on top of that have the right to condemn other people to be "evil". Doesn't sound really christian of you Joe...
Another piece of text of you strikes me:

"I can cooperate with unbelievers on a social scale, but deep down inside I do not respect them in the least, and despise the way they live, even if I won't say it to their face."

For me, this sort of means that you need a psychiatrist, Joe. You really seem to have issues. Other people probably said this before to you on these forums, but I'm dead serious.. Joe, it sounds like you have a disturbed social behaviour lad..

"The actions of a Christian church are sacred, and it seems as though they are nothing but mocked in this thread by most of the people posting here (not all, and those who arent know who I am talking about)."

Now, A christian church doesn't equal yours, how is that combinable with your idea that only your interpretation (the one of your christian group, to be more exact) is correct?

Anyhow, if you don't accept my advice, please Joe, don't move too far, all you'll see is sadness, misery and lost souls..

ah poo!

"I think I'm voting Arnor.. I don't see where the doc saved him in that story."

That's hardly my fault.. All I know is that that mob wanted me dead

I have to hurry, so I'm voting Jets for the time being (bandwagon!). I'll log on after class and see what the situation is like then...

mijn god, ik ga weet niet kunnen slapen..

"how come it is blasphemy to use a metaphor to try and explain the omnipotence of GOD"

It was a joke hon
I always found it sad that the majority of the people can't laugh with their religion once in a while..

Next round perhaps..

"eyes- stars in heaven"

Blasphemy. Doesn't the Old testament crearly say that the stars are merely lights in Genesis?

as in "not new", or "around for some time"

He was the co-creator of D&D apparently. May he rest in peace, he brought joy and happiness to thousands of nerds

Scientology is one of the best succeeding money scams in the world. Nothing more nothing less..

"and now you know why Mugabe stays in power. The world wont try, and the US cant do it all supposedly."

What about the UN?

And indeed, the US can't do it. It'd be "imperial overstretching" of a new kind. The US army will have to be around for decennia in Iraq to stabilise the democracy there (like the NATO was around in Germany for 50 years)..

Besides, the US isn't interested in Zimbabwe. There's no economy-driving resources to be found there. Pretty much like North Korea, there won't be an invasion, as the benefits aren't large enough... Political pressure ar most..
