You can't say nice things about a women now?
Sure you can. Just don't be condescending when you do so.

F,
I reached my limit on the Repug thread.
I beat the crap out of them for 20,000 posts.
They are THE dumbest fukers in America.
They are NOT capable of learning, of starting first with credible facts and
only then forming an opinion.
Like unschooled children, they start out and stay forever, ignorant.
You will not make "progress" with them, you post only to amuse your own self.
I commend you for starting and continuing the thread, F.
But I just ran out of gas, I cannot deal with truly stupid people very long.

The fundamentalists are gone from this thread.
Trip and Gobee do not post here any more.
They either had enough or have other interests.
No one to disagree with.
Time to let it die now.

Dr. F., "my belief system has a solid foundation"
1 Corinthians 3:11, For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

The Bible was written by God, via a bunch of people, and it is not %100 correct.
Your posts are written by God, via you, and they are not 100% correct.
Ultimately everything manifests out of God, who cares nothing for correctness. This whole creation is God's play, dark and light, thick and thin, sport and trad.
Peace

Maybe it's all a dream.
We are ALL just figments in it.
We just think we're real.

Maybe it's all a cosmorrhea like science says.
And we're all evolved beings, evolved to process information,
evolved to perceive, in order to survive and propagate.
Maybe it's all as simple as that.
And maybe it is up to us to make sense of it,
to give our own lives meaning and purpose, to set sail-
in the directions we want.

What a tangled web we weave!
So many points of view...
Bottom line: AND IT'S ALL TRUE!
Have fun processing that fact!
Everyone seems to be able to see how they are themselves right; that's not such a great intellectual challenge.
Now process for yourself how it is that each of the other guys is also right!
(And thereby save your insults for the bathroom mirror.)

I'm excited. Hypercrates, controller of the universe, saw fit to give us great weather today. So I'm off to climb!

First of all Pate you are a extreme example of a pure nut case.
I'm not a Christian and have nothing to do with your stupid mental projections that you put onto people on this forum.
You need a life loser since you are a dead walking corpse with no soul.

It all seems rather puerile when considered in these "Talking Dood" terms, wouldn't you say?
It isn't a "Talking Dood" it's a "Talking Mirror"...

Pate, Hypercrates is female, a female personification. She's female. Like Mother Nature. But, hey, it's cool, the confusion's understandable. She's just not well known yet, certainly not as popular as Jehovah. But give it time.
When a thousand stories have been written about her, she'll be extremely inspiring for those yet to be born.

It tells us you are a "modern renascent" believer, not a traditional believer. Congratulations.
Hey Weschrist, that's interesting. The Sun is a hypercratic power. By definition. So the Sun could be seen as a manifestation of Hypercrates. So yeah, she's hot!
Dr. F., she's just (1) a bridge concept, (2) a metaphor or symbol. Like Mother Nature or the Grim Reaper or Father Time. Not to be taken too seriously or even not at all if you don't like metaphors or personifications.
But it does make things more fun once in awhile. Remember the song lyric: "God gave us rock n roll" When I hear that at a party, instead of Jehovah I imagine Mother Nature or Hypercrates. That's all. Then I have substance, too, instead of "nothing" when you're put on the spot by some politician, say, or evangelist on tv.
Yeah. Hypercrates is certainly mean at times. Mean! She brings disease. One of her "manifestations" is natural selection. That's pretty harsh. She brought Katrina to the Gulf. Don't get caught underfoot when she's in a bad mood (bad weather, etc.).

Dr. F, the thing of beauty about Hypercrates or Mother Nature is that they won't get mad at you if you don't believe in them. There's none of this jealousy crap.

Your welcome. I thought you were one of those.."there is no god" folks"? How can I be a reasonable person if I believe in something that you think doesn't exist?

Well Dr F. I hope that some day you have the experience that opens your mind and heart to God. I understand that up to this point, you haven't had that experience and I fully understand that until you do, there is no argument or explanation that could cause you to believe in God. The lighting of your heart flame is a personal experience that few can give. I pray that some day you will have this experience.

Dr. F.-
I think you're the one who has been duped. You take the fundamentalists way too seriously. Their movement has only existed for the past 150 years of 2000 years of Christianity and by their own estimate they were never more than 25% of the American public at their height and are currently by their own admission losing large numbers of their young people.
One of the things they have done that irritates me the most is label themselves Christian and insist that if you don't think just like they do then you don't warrant the title Christian. Thus they claim that Catholics, Mormons and even mainstream Protestants aren't Christian. When you keep insisting that all Christians take the Bible literally, you are only reinforcing them in this misguided labeling.
For an accurate view, see The Battle for God: Fundamentalism in Judaism, Christianity and Islam by Karen Armstrong.In fact, anything she writes is good, including A History of God: The 4,000-Year Quest of Judaism, Christianity and Islam.
