We shanghai'd his post for partners into Spray and totally sucked him into a world we created with our rules and our social norms, castigated him brutally, mocked him, and asked a multitude of questions for which there are no easy answers. FYI, He did answer your question. You just didn't have his courage and go out to his home site to see what that answer is so you could discuss it on anything but your safe terms here on cc.com. Now that stuff is cool.

Not really. It is just a pnemonic device designed to recall the sense of belonging people feel when they are with other like-minded people. These devices are common in all traditions. For example, at ropeup we refer to well known threads and on line we refer to things that happened at rope up. In both places we have doubts and questions that will always recur. The next step for Christians is to truely step beyond the Bible as Jesus instructed. This will be the ultimate test of faith. We are not ready.

sorry, last post (as I saw before leaving), Yes, that's easy Chocolate. God is perfect, He created perfect beings and perfect land, and then Adam and Eve messed it all up for all of us. Sin entered, and so did corruption into the human race. That's why God came to us, to restore and redeem humanity. Hope that helps. cya. Hey VH, Thanks for stopping by and joining our little world. We really are good people with hearts and ethics. This board is just an easy place to open the floodgates of our deepest impulses. As such, it is a grand experiment in social conditioning. Your participation, however accidental, will be remembered for a long time. May God bless your Denali expedition.

How could a designer with the powers you speak of screw up this bad? Seems like your god is a practical joker, and a sadist to boot? I respectfully await your reply. Perhaps if you were really respectful, you would not have called him a dumbass at the end of your post. Your behavior is semi-acceptable here but to a newcomer who is used to a normal world, your abusiveness might seem inappropriate and a little intimidating. Why should he "respect" your question if you call him a dumbass? Maybe you are just socially challenged? Tvash, (for example) argues and criticizes withoug being brutally abusive. Can you see the difference?

That just doesn't make any sense. If there is a Satan then there is by implication, a God. Maybe to you it would imply God.....not to me. You can have one without the other.....ever heard of George Bush? Satan!

That just doesn't make any sense. If there is a Satan then there is by implication, a God. Why would you chose to burn in hellfire and damnation for all of eeternity? Oh, sorry. Wait a minute. It's Kevbone..... Never mind. Bug....please don't try and convert Kevbone. It would kind of ruin heaven as I understand it, and I want something to look forward to. It's a fine line now. He's a fanatic. Religion is the logical next step.

Tel Mardique. Northern Syria. 250,000 people in one city around 4500 BC. This was the land of Abraham. You would think we would of heard about this place that was controlled by women. Something fishy there. Something really fishy.

No she is a chick by intelligent design. She was not an accident of cosmic dust being whipped into a suculant frothy chocolate moosse.......... Whoaaaa! Bug-- that made absolutely no sense. you're quickly catching up to kevbone This little society of ours called cc.com hurts peoples feelings. At this point, what would you be willing to do to me? But my word smithing is really not even approaching the levels of trash we often see here. Don't take it personal. I'm through. You must feel soooo dirty.
-
Oh jeez minx baby. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. In fact, your part was incidental. It could have been any moderator on any trashy board. It was an example of how the internet and computers and new forms of communication are changing our society. I even said it was OK here. I love you now go to bed.

Oh no. Do you really want the lecture on parables? OK. Glad you asked. Once again, the Bible is a great work of literature. The parables of Jesus were brilliant. Then came the fundamentalists. How does that parable go? If a man asks you for your cloak, give him your tunic as well. OK, literally, you would be naked now. If a man asks you to walk a block go a mile with him (really bad memory) but people didn't hang out and go for walks in those days. They had to work or starve. Besides, if you walkked a mile you were in enemy territory. Once again, Jesus was reall asking a lot. Then, if a man strikes you on the cheek, turn the other cheek. Well, now i'm naked in enemy territory getting my ass wupped. Who would follow this guy? Nope. It means "don't be predictable". Or "get them thinking about new ways of doing things"...... Thanks for asking.

Pink. Stop with the Utube. The first one was funny. The second one is full of partly hydroginated vegetable oils.

You are all stupid. Let me help you out. First, I am smart because I have a degree in Religious Studies from the U of M which means it was the academic study of religion not the theological thumping you get in a seminary. Kind of like Anthropology only more squishy-like because people are not machines and cannot be decifered by applying scientific theory. It helps but it is not fool proof. Get it "Fool" "Proof". OK tvash. Read on anyway. Sheesh. evolution vs creationism. How quaint. You're both wrong. Just like kintergarten, the truth is in the middle. To take a literal translation of the bible and adhere to it like a code of life is not practical. Humans are not practical (we climb) I know but this is even less so. See, oral societies came up with these stories in their original form and then as needs changed, the stories/mythologies changed. It is called "oral fluidity'. That is, the ability of a society to adapt its mythology to a changing environment (social, geographical, climitological, etc). Viola! Literacy! Freeze that story, when everything is already changing radically (the iron age), and in a state that was arrived at after thousands (5-8K plus or minus) of years. For instance, there were so many generations that they started dropping them off after ten. So you have your dad, his dad, maybe his dad isn't so hot so you skip him, but include the next guy cause he invented non-missionary sex, until you get to the earliest person anyone can remeber who was worth a whoot. Adam? So you hear things in the Bible like so he will be cursed even unto the tenth generation.... That means forever because no one counts past the tenth generation. Does that mean they don't beleive there were people before ten generations ago? No. Pay attention. It is called oral fluidity. So you have the begining of the world in a story. It happened at a time ....... YES! Ten generations ago. At least that was the ten generations listed before the guy who originated the story. But then you get all these other guys who want to be included in the mix plus a few kings who want to edit the story to make themselves look better, a few sacred councils, badda-boom, badda-bing. NIV. Sheesh what a mess. Is it "God's Word"? Weeeelllll, that's a stretch. Especially since Jesus said that He was the Word (Logos). But that is what we get from the book we are saying is not the "Word". Shit. You must be really confused. Exactly my point. The argument between evolution vs creationism is a mute point. It is like calling Jehovah, Jehovah. Yahweh was his name but according to those crazy oral peoples, if you say his name He will appear so you better have a good reason because he has special powers and a short fuse. So when the Masorites added vowels a few centuries later, they added the vowels for Adoni which meant kind of a generically "god". Combine the consonants of Yahweh with the vowels of Adoni and you get JEHOVAH. I know, I know. Hold the applause. I'm just getting warmed up. So after all that, will you please just get along? Evolution was God trying to figure things out. Furst he made Capt Caveman, then Tvash so he had a flood and came up with Porter. After that he turned His attention to camels for awhile but that is a little known side bar....... Anyway, Now we have the NT and even the Quran. Cool stuff. After a couple Thousand years, here we are still pretending we know it all cause we have literacy when it was literacy that really screwed things up socially in the first place. Many more wars in the iron age than before. But we can be saved if you will listen. The computer age is almost upon us. I say almost because we are just doing what our grandfathers did only faster. Our grandkids will use our computer tools to build their tools and then the computer age will start and social institutions like Money, religion, government, etc will be rebuilt along the new guidelines. We are in the process of defining those guidelines on this board. Especially in spray. I mean look at this guy. He innocently post in Partners for partners. OK he is a Christian. and he wants other Christians. Isn't spray banned from Partners?????!!!! Where were the moderators? This thread should have never been anything more than;"want to climb with Christians?" "No thanks." End of thread. Instead, it was allowed to go on and on BECAUSE he was a christian and we sacrifice those in this society. Well that's not new. But back to our mythology.... So then waht happened? This guys innocent post for climbing partners (Christians) was moved to spray where anything goes. Did this guy volunteer for this "anything goes" forum? No. That was unethical by standards outside this board. But inside our little CC.COM society, its OK. We bent the rules so we could have a good Christian toasting. That is called oral fluidity. We are bending back to our ancestors' ways. It may be the Synthesis. I hope so. The antethesis was not all that great.

Tvash, you come up with some really good points at times and I really like seeing you post on a regular basis but you seem to be on a roll here. Downhill that is. You need to be telling all this stuff to an Ex-Catholic support group or something. Even scientists would be embarrassed by your posts. Evilution is not fact. It is not proven. But I still beleive it happened. Don't blow it for me. Stop posting until you sober up a bit.

correction, Christians don't sell. They point the way. All we can do is point, it's other people's choices if they want to listen, not ours. Jesus is not a product. He is God in flesh, and took Pink's place on the cross, as all of us. We all deserve what we should get, and I deserve it more than any of you, thank God he is graceful. how would you feel if i pointed your children in the direction of satan himself? jesus died for what he believed was a good cause, but so have many people through out the history of time. what makes jesus so different when the outcome (death) was the same. i have a hard time believing he needs us to placate his actions. All your posts do that. I don't let my kids read them.

Mythology is a culture's wisdom in narative form. We currently struggle to incorporate multiple mythologies into our constitutional framework that was in truth based on Christian religion. We also try to stretch that (and should) to incorporate the secular cultures. So stop trying to use mythology like it is a dirty word. It does not mean "an absence of truth". It is an anthropological term that became slang like "cool" or "radical". Unless you are neither.

OK, OK. History geeks abound. Putin was head of the KGB. George Bush Sr. was head of the CIA at the same time. Now look at the state of intelligence and how it is being used. Do the math.

"It was a shock for both of us, so unexpected," she said. "I was in complete and total shock and so was he." Were they so stoned they didn't know they were doin it?

Nothing on this site has offended me. God has a sense of humor. So do I. I hereby absolve you of all sin. Well, actually, I can't do that. That is why Jesus was sacrificed. To absolve us of all sin because we can't stop sinning. None of us, not even Christians. The Jews HAD to kill him because they were Yahwey's "Chosen People". "If they couldn't get it right, no one could" was the point of that.. You do not have to beleive any of that for me to think you are cool. It is all great fodder for conversation and free discourse. If ANY of it were limited, I would fight for it to be allowed. Ask Matt about that. I have often lobbied him (as a rep of the management) to allow more raucus behavior on this site. So this one's for you.
-
why is this any different than the attempt to infuse non-christian values by interest groups - is the agenda of these groups less "narrow" Matt, the sooner we outlaw atheists, the sooner we will conquer sin. Then onward to Democrats. If you read my early posts in this thread, (no, you are not required to do so), you will see that I did bash Christian activities in past societies. I even got b-slapped by KaKstacK. The use of religion in polotics is way out of balance. In another thread, I lectured you all on the writings of Deitrich Bonhoffer and his theory of the 5 mandates Family, Friendship, Church, State, Marriage. They naturally overlap in places to varying degrees but one should never overpower one or more of the others. If that were to happen then the "Ultima Ratio" becomes neccessary. That is when a normally criminal act is needed to re-instate the balance. Deitrich was the last man executed by the Third Reich and was one of the master minds behind the near assasination of Hitler in the bunker. Deitrich was a Catholic Preist. I would venture that we are close to needing a "Ultima Ratio". Again, see some of my other posts all over spray. I am terrified by Naomi Wolfe because I beleive she is correct. Religion is just one of the tools in the arsenal used by the current tyrannical would-be's and Hitler. See her Ten Steps to Tyranny. But we started here with a group of Christians going to Denali. Many assumptions were made. It has been fun.

O boy. Now we have to count how many times Dick and George say, "It was destroyed in the fire." WASHINGTON - Thick black smoke billowed from a fire Wednesday in Vice President Dick Cheney's suite of offices in the historic Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. Cheney's office was damaged by smoke and water from fire hoses, White House spokesman Scott Stanzel said. The vice president was not in the building at the time; he was in the West Wing of the White House with President Bush. More than 1,000 people who work in the building were evacuated. The fire broke out on the second floor of the building around about 9:15 a.m. and was under control within a half hour, District of Columbia fire department spokesman Alan Etter said. Afterward, Bush and Cheney appeared on West Executive Avenue, between the White House and the damaged building, to thank District of Columbia firefighters. A fire tanker nearby still had its ladder extended to a window on the blackened second floor. The blaze was located in Cheney's suite of ceremonial offices. His working office is in the West Wing. Secret Service spokesman Darrin Blackford said the building was evacuated as a precaution. District of Columbia firefighters poured water on the blaze, broke windows and moved furniture onto a balcony. There were no reports of serious injuries, Etter said. A U.S. Marine stationed at the building smashed a fifth-floor window to escape from the smoke and had to be rescued from the ledge, he said. The man suffered a minor cut to his hand. The building remained evacuated while firefighters ventilated the smoke, Etter said. The displaced employees were sent to other offices or went home. The extent of water, fire and smoke damage was unclear. Investigators were working to determine the cause of the blaze, Etter said. The smoke appeared to come from an electrical closet on the building's second floor. The Executive Office Building, a commanding structure with a granite, slate and cast iron exterior at the corner of Pennsylvania Avenue and 17th Street, houses the Office of Management and Budget and staff of the National Security Council and other agencies. Originally built for the State, War and Navy Departments between 1871 and 1888, the building was renamed in honor of President Dwight Eisenhower during the Clinton administration.

Bwaaaaa-haa-haa! No one is trying to force you back into the closet KKK, least of all the ACLU. We fully support your agenda. you're public display of religion is just as offensive to me as the pic of the flying spaghetti monster/sistine chapel is to you. think about it. There goes Easter and Christmas. Why do you CHOSE to be offended? Any and all of you? No one can force you to feel good or feel bad. That is your choice. I heard all kinds of stuff at camp14K and none of it was Christian. Why are you not complaining about that noise? It is because of what you CHOSE to be offended by. Don't get me wrong. I love this thread. I just wasted an hour reading the whole thing. Wow! You guys are really into religion.
