Hey 1inC,

Nice to see ya.

Could you do me a favour? Could you let me know when you are going to start these amazing threads of yours?

It never fails that you start them when I've gone out for the evening (and really, I don't go out all that much) and I come home to sooooooooooooo many pages to read. I need to sleep soon and I've only just started page 1.

An interesting possibility is that we are cosmically linked. You know when I am out and start these threads then to lure me home. Yes, that's it. We are cosmically linked soulmates. Sorry, MdeC.

You see there's already the first problem. The need to be lead along

Anyways, I wonder what will happen to him after Friday should the voices in his head turn out to have uttered a false prophecy. The mere thought of what might go on in his head ... Scary.

I know he needs to be led, otherwise his Garage!Preacher wouldn't have such a hold on him. However, I'm taking the spaghetti approach. Throw everything against the wall and see what sticks.

I doubt Friday will change him at all. He always seems to have a handy excuse should the voices in his head turn out to be wrong. It will never be god's fault.

Despite normally professing himself to be omniscient, he realized what he was witnessing would always inevitably fall back on the postulate assuming the verity of his experiences and to think contrarily would mean falling into the intellectual abyss of the "enlightenment fallacy" whose conception is attributed to Immanuel Kant, and shortly thereafter as a result grew disconcerted at entertaining the possibility that the women were faking it.

His usual excuse is Satan ... I wonder if he'll apply it to the voices too.

So basically, you guys are saying god is an @ss man? I'm really in trouble then, because I really don't have any butt to speak of. Are you sure god isn't a leg man? I'd be doing great then.

Come on 1inC, if Hell is the only basis for morality then there really are no morals according to you. Grow up for a change, develop a conscience instead. Put that Bible down for a second and read your Greek philosophy.

Yoga, Lisa. It'll give you a nice hard, yoga-bum. God'll appreciate the effort.

I've been doing Pilates as part of my post-surgery rehab, and my butt muscles have gotten firmer. But alas, the shape of my butt is still flat as a pancake. It's just a very firm pancake.

I'm thinking of starting pilates. I bought a couple of tapes, just have to do them.

1inC, does Jesus have any exercise preferences?

I think this is a home grown jokester. Or, someone who left a while ago. He doesn't really know the Bible very well, so just makes use of online versions with word searches.

In other words you think he's a troll.

Nah, a troll would be less obvious. I think he really believes this crap, he's been keeping it up too long.

The first (or one of the first) thing I'd do if I were impersonating a Christian would be to bring up some form of Pascal's Wager. I have not seen him doing that ... yet. A (weak) argument agaist him being a troll.

Good, let us answer him then.

If trying to bribe my way out of it by kissing the Holy Rear is beneath me (and it is), then I imagine it is beneath God, and I will not so patronize him.

Overlooked Hell questions

1inChrist
It's good to see you back all fired up about Hell...(Ha! get it?) You promised you would address RebeccaBradley's and my questions about WHEN Hell occurs, in that previous Hell thread you started. We had a bunch of bible verses that don't seem to agree.

As a reminder, here. It's towards the bottom. RebeccaBradley's verses are on the next page toward the bottom.

Anybody know how to make the link go to a particular post on a page?

A bunch of references from the Buy-bull? What fun is that? Here are some nice scientificy proofs of the existence of H- E- double hockey sticks:

http://amightywind.com/hell/aboutsounds.htm

Quote:
A geological group who drilled a hole about 14.4 kilometers deep in the crust of the earth are saying that they heard human screams. Screams have been heard from the condemned souls from earth's deepest hole. Terrified scientists are afraid they have let loose the evil powers of hell up to the earth's surface.
I like this one even better:

Why do you need to post this on an internet forum? Does God lurk here? If he is omniscient, surely he can just read your thoughts (plus tell you what they're going to be).

So God showed Moses His butt, which was still enough to give Moses a radioactive glow. When Moses came down from the volcano, the people made him wear a veil because it was so freaky.
Oh. Okay. Must have missed that bit...

[flips the pages quizzically...]

Or was that in the sequel? I haven't seen the sequel...don't tell me how it works out, OK?

It might have been in the director's cut version

Very good, but please try to get the grammar right.


Did I just see 1inChrist use the word "prevernt"?

As in "I think you're some kind of deviated prevernt, and I think the general found out about your prevernsion, and you were organizing some sort of rebellion of prevernts!" ?

There is no Hell, only the Laughing-Pain. You will now divert yourselves toward more constructive discussion.

Oops! Sorry. I thought he was talking about me. I got confused...all those Upper-case letters and things. I mis-read it.


1inC seems a bit off his medication today. It's not his usual style. Maybe someone else.

Exodus 33
18
Then Moses said, "Do let me see your glory!"
19
He answered, "I will make all my beauty pass before you, and in your presence I will pronounce my name, 'LORD'; I who show favors to whom I will, I who grant mercy to whom I will.
20
But my face you cannot see, for no man sees me and still lives.
21
Here," continued the LORD, "is a place near me where you shall station yourself on the rock.
22
When my glory passes I will set you in the hollow of the rock and will cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23
3 Then I will remove my hand, so that you may see my back; but my face is not to be seen."

Exodus 34
29
As Moses came down from Mount Sinai with the two tablets of the commandments in his hands, he did not know that the skin of his face had become radiant while he conversed with the LORD.
30
When Aaron, then, and the other Israelites saw Moses and noticed how radiant the skin of his face had become, they were afraid to come near him.
35
Then the Israelites would see that the skin of Moses' face was radiant; so he would again put the veil over his face until he went in to converse with the LORD.

By the way, the rest of Exodus 34 is a must read. It has the real, actual 10 Commandments.
