Not sure what this is supposed to mean...

But I don't make my user name some slap in the face at M.M. O'hair or Freddy Nietzsche.

I doubt anyone would give a rat's posterior if you did. In any case, I'm sure you also don't give a rat's posterior that my username was not invented to be a "slap in the face" toward anyone, but I won't bother explaining its origin to someone so dreadfully eager to take offense.

Poor taste even for an infidel, no?

No.

Sorry I offended your delicate sensibilities while trying to *gasp* be helpful!

IIDB is not the place to witness. Its not allowed in any forums and certainly not the Lounge

....and ne'er the twain shall meet... What might Jesus say to Ahhhnold? "I'll be back!"

Oh yay.

Moms Mabley was once told if she could not speak any thing good of the dead to not speak at all. She replied "Good, he's dead". Can't say that about Jesus today.

Let's try GRD, shall we?

As I've said before, none of us here care much for what you believe, except as a springboard for discussing why you believe it, whether or not it's true, and why you think we should believe it.

We know what the Bible says. We understand Christian theology (some of us definitely better than you do). We know you think we're going to hell. We're good with that. Threatening us with your fantasies after we're dead is not at all scary or intimidating.

Most of us here think Christian beliefs are not only false but ludicrous. They're the fantasies that spring from nothing but Christians' own insecurities, their own fear, their own inadequacies, their own self-loathing, and, in some sad cases, their own evil and sadism.

Anyone is welcome to discuss here anything they like, under the authority of reason and sensibility. But preaching is nothing more than asserting the truth of what you say by virtue of nothing but that you yourself say it. We categorically reject preaching. Not only do we reject the authority of anyone to make statements true by virtue of saying them, but we denounce such an attitude. We condemn it. We relentlessly mock and revile this sort of personal authority.

I've seen a hundred Christians come here to preach, and each and every one has "shaken the dust off his feet" and left us, most nursing the righteousness that comes only from the perception of oppression. If you're dead-set on being "oppressed" for your "beliefs", well, sigh, I suppose we'll oblige you, as we've done a hundred times before. There's always a few newbies who haven't yet had their licks. But that's all you'll get here. We're persuaded by reason and logic. We're entirely unpersuaded by the commitment you have to your ludicrous fantasies, however sincere and deep that commitment might be.

No matter how fiercly you believe, it's still a lie.

I'll go with your version though, "Fetch the water girl!".

Dicisne linguam bellam, Ave-Mithras?

porto, portare, portavi, portatus

porto, portamus
portas, portatis
portat, portant

stem porta-, thus imperative: porta, portate

well in the face of such a candid approach I will surely have to let you go.

Tell me If I want to share my belief in God where do I go at IIDB?

Let us go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach. Hebrews 13:13

by definition, pull-phit, a discussion is a two way affair, thus preaching is invalid here.
