[REU] US: Gay Wyoming College Student Dies After Beating
I'm not sure we are in disagreement here. Phelps is an evil,
tyrannical man who goes to the Bible and sees an evil, tyrannical
god. My fundy friend is a loving, gentle man who goes to the
Bible and sees a loving, gentle god. I will go one step further
and tell you that my friend sees the other scriptures, but a part
of him pretty much ignores them and sees them as exceptional
behavior for exceptional circumstances.
Here again,
It *all* ties together! Awk!
No, being one of the resident fossils, I was thinking of
a show that aired in the 60's or so.

You took the words out of context, Karl. If you underline
the word prior to those, it isn't an oxymoron. (I'll bet I
know where you learned how to do that.)
Well, doing god's work, for sure. These guys are SCAREY!
Now Ro$ert$on'$ REALLY pissed!!

I was wrong about this. After actually READING, rather than
scanning, the text, I realize it was Phelps himself who was
arbitrary, vindictive, and cruel, and that is what he found
in his god. Wadda ya know! He was vindicated by his god
Himself! No surprise there!
This makes Phelps gawd. No surprise there, either.
This damn freaking echo
Does he know what is meant by the term "OLR"? Does he know
how to download files from his BBS?
Does he believe that people who taunt him have his best
interest at heart sufficient to be truly helping him by
giving him GOOD advice?
See above.

I know that. But if you also underline the word 'more,' you
get it in context. The context clearly implies that it doesn't
have to be sane, just merely less crazy. No?

Lou used to tool down Harold Street in the mornings on his way to
work, with a high-rise 4X4 so close to his back bumper he could
barely see the guy's headlights in his rearview mirror. He got
tired of it one morning, and pulled back his emergency brake (you
don't show your brakelights when you use the emergency brake on
his little Nissan pickup <grin>). The last time he saw the guy,
he was sideways and headed toward somebody's
Friends: A sad war story.
I saw the story as nothing more than a new twist on the old

Perhaps you're right. I just hope that kids have enough chutzpah
to ask adults who are knowledgable on a given subject whether what
they've read is bullshit or not. There's so much of it out there.
What are your reasons? One positive thing is that it is not
nearly impossible for parents to bullshit their kids about
much of anything, because of the amount of material there is
at their disposal that'll make liars of their parents. Perhaps

This damn freaking echo
How seriously would YOU take the advice of somebody who
was taunting and jeering you? Not very, I suspect. I know
I certainly wouldn't leave myself open for a wild-goose chase
for a left-handed screwdriver by pursuring any advice.
This damn freaking echo
Now, THAT'S a fair complaint. I don't think that it is a fair
complaint to call him names and make accusations about laziness,
however. I'm glad you didn't do that.
This damn freaking echo
All I am trying to point out is that those who called him
lazy when he first arrived here may have been jumping to
conclusions without sufficient data. I suspect that he
also does the same thing in thinking that he is qualified
to moderate an echo in FidoLand.

I think you are misunderstanding the legalities of the matter. Churches,
as tax-exempt entities are not allowed to endorse any candidate for any
political office. They are in danger of losing their tax exemption if
they do so. By offering to help the governor with his campaign in
exchange for him authorizing taxpayer funds to be used for church
projects, he has muddied the water vis a vis the Wall of Separation
between Church and State, and the church has

I've seen his explanation before, but it brings something to my
mind: when did the human race begin to see directions in terms
of four primary directions with various shadings of the four in
between? Isn't that more contemporary than the writings in
Isaiah? I don't recall anyplace in the Bible where any of the
four primary directions are mentioned, which makes me think that
'we' hadn't broken down directions in that manner at the time the
Bible was written.

John Calvin didn't act like a Christian, either, but you follow
his take on the Bible. Was he a Christian, despite the way he
acted?
This time the Dems cross the Line of Separation

But it DOES raise the issue of whether his take on the Bible made
him a better person or not. I would be reluctant to accept the
theology of anybody whose religious philosophy didn't do SOMETHING
to inspire him to be a decent human being.
