getting really tired of the same old threads with the same old fights over and over. Really. I don't mind a good argument, but it's the same damned ones over and over.Thor...seriously...it's like every time you start a thread it's the same damned things. What's your point? We get it. You don't like Muslims. You believe in creation and think people who believe in evolution are wrong. You don't like Obama and the Democrats. Okay. Duly noted. Problem is, even when I agree with your basic view on something, I'm ashamed to say I agree with you and find myself wanting to argue against you. Where's the sense in that? Really, be honest with yourself. You're just trying to stir the pot and start arguments. And then you refuse to participate in your own arguments with any kind of rationality...or kindness. How Christian is that?Everybody else...whey do you continue to engage in the same arguments over and over? It's obvious what these threads are about. He's yanking your strings and your dancing for him. Dance, little monkeys! Dance!I was hoping for more activity on here, but not this kind.What's the point...?(Rant over)

Anybody else...

Actually I think some Dems aren't bad...it's the liberal ones I have issue with. But if I didn't like these folks and that was it, there really wouldn't be anything to talk about...sort of like my arguing with somebody that strawberry ice-cream is better than vanilla; just a matter of taste and no point in arguing about it. But with Obama and his clowns, there's much more to it than just disliking them. I think they're dangerous to this country and are set to ruin it. It should be clear that this is something that effects all Americans...not just those that either like or dislike liberals. It's a serious issue, and not just a matter of ice-cream preference.

Just have to agree to disagree with you on that.

Granted I can occasionally have a bad day, but not everything can be done "kindly" in life...not even a Christian one. Are you able and/or willing to understand and accept why this is true?

I guess the most relavant point to make is that not all folks come to message boards for the same reasons...and to expect that everyone will, or expect them to change their reasons just because you say they should, isn't very realistic.

This one's for you, damien.

Bob, I don't think you could do anything to make me think you're stupid. It's obvious you're not. But I can't help feeling that looking for a "proper debate" in those threads is just a futile exercise. Do you not agree?I do have to tell you though...I was looking at a couple of your responses to Thor the other day and thought "Dang! That kid has developed some serious patience!" Kudos to you!

OK. Dems...liberals...whatever. But my question/concern stands. You're views on the matter(s) couldn't be more clear. Everyone knows where you stand and you know where everyone else stands. Yet you still bring up the same arguments over and over. What's the point? What are you trying to accomplish by doing that? And you have to admit that some of the things you have been called out for are legit. The repetitive nature of your posts and your resorting to some of the things your resort to make it hard to believe that your motives are anything other than muckraking. But I'm open to being wrong on this. In fact, I'd like to be wrong.Quote:

Well...depends on what you mean by "kindly" I guess. But on here, in this context, I can't see any reason to not be kind. Can you point out to me one time in scripture when Jesus was unkind to someone in the way you're "unkind"?Shoot, there are times when I've been anything but kind. I think my initial post in this thread was from a place of frustration and anger (not toward you) than kindness. But I'm not going to rationalize it and say it's a good thing.

Nice try, but not even close to what I'm doing. And by your reasoning, we should accept any reason for a person to come here. Should I keep my mouth shut if some pervert comes here to perv on teenagers because "not all folks come to the message boards for the same reasons" and I shouldn't "expect them to change their reasons just because I say they should"? The reasons for coming are not the point of my criticisms or this discussions. They way we act while we're here is.
