Bringing Christianity into disrepute!

[Shaker]

Don't pretend ignorance... but then...

So tell us what advent cards are, then. If you know.

Give it up, Shaker!

You are never, ever, going to get him to admit that he meant Advent CALENDARS! Calendars - it does contain the letters of cards!

The Advent card/calendar is a method of counting up the days to Christmas, day by day, as even children know.  And as you will have googled, in order to attempt a cheap shot.  You are so predictable, and sad.

Just what is it that you have against Google?

Oh I forgot, you are a Professor of Divinity and get all your information on every subject under the Sun from your God and would like to deny all others any other source of information that might contradict what he tells you.

And also, of course, because you are also, probably, computer illiterate and thus cannot use Google.

Regardless - I hope that you and yours enjoy your Christmas as much as I will enjoy my Yule, with my family and copious amount of the Golden Nectar - Mead!

I don't need one of those  - I look at today's date and subtract it from 25, with my dad helping me if I get stuck.

I bet you have to look up the date on Google!  Not for any other reason than that you cannot do anything without reference to it!

Thank you for acknowledging my superiority, in all things.  I wish I could do the same for you!

Msg 90 BA. "Just a helpful hint" Think for yourself and while you are at it get your own opinions. Keep on defending those hand me down stories, those second hand hand me down stories, those endless interpretations you have to mind juggle with makes you come across as the classic shadow boxer.

Crikey!  i'm berated right left and centre for airing my opinions!  I don't think you follow closely enough  -  just a suggestion!

You arrogant arse! Get this through your skull - I WAS TAKING THE PISS! The only thing you are superior to anyone in is believing ijn the contents of that pathetic book of manufactured history that you consider to be truth!

If I enjoy nothing else while I am away I will enjoy being away from your unending posting of bollocks, crap and fucked up history - oh, and your distaste at the use of bad language, I bet you blush like a girl seeing David Beckham's Y-front ad for the first time when you read it!

I have given myself an early Yule gift! I found it on Google actually - it is a little book calle "The Website Moderators guide to acceptable insults" and I look forward to 2016 when I can try some of them out on here and you!

You old charmer you!   

Such an exemplary advert for paganism!   

You always put me in mind of Darwin:  the survival of the fittest.  If you are one of the 'fit" survivors, goodness only knows what the unfit must have been like!

You are far from charming and a even worse advert for Christianity.

You drag my religion into a argument about your honesty - which, on this forum, is sadly lacking.

My coach leaves in an hour so I will see you on the other side of New Years which should give you time to learn that if you can't take it you shouldn't try dishing it out.

As to what the "unfit" were like - look in a mirror - they were just like you!

[Sassy]

Temper! Temper!

There is not one iota of evidence Jesus actually did any of the less than credible things his followers claimed he did!

There is a history that men who witnessed went all over the world telling others.
People did the same as Christ and the witnesses.
You mean you do not accept the witness statements.  Then again, you could seek to believe with a good heart and see for yourself. Truth is your heart is too hard and you don't want it to be true. That is more like it... isn't it.

[Sassy]

Msg 83 Sassy You are part of the deluded problem. The solution is for people to try and drop all their strange unproven beliefs. I agree it may be hard to free yourselves but the prize would help mankind in so many ways.

Without Christ the world would NOT be what it is today...
That is the truth. But why should you really be interested in the truth?
You like being deluded...

Sez Sass the most deluded of the lot!

"Deluded?"  Well, that's pretty rare coming from someone as closed-minded and unpleasant such as yourself!

You are closed minded as I established some time ago.

I on the other hand am open minded.

Well, I think I'd veer more to the mindless, rather than open-minded!

Your arguments are indeed mindless and poorly reasoned.

But, I did establish that you ARE closed minded.

That is a fact.

You haven't established anything, ever.  Just shows how self-deluded some can be.

Perhaps you could be more specific and give some examples of the above?  Such generalisations rarely convey anything of substance;  which is why your posts usually lack any real substance.

It's very simple. You failed the open minded test and ran away.

I am an atheist but I accept that I could be completely wrong, and the god you believe in could actually exist, and have all the attributes you think he has.

Now, for you to be open minded, YOU have to accept that YOU could be wrong, and it could be that your god DOES NOT exist.

Do you accept this?

You have to answer YES to be open minded. It is a Yes or No question.

You are not tempting me into your childish little "game," which you have rattled on with for months.  Do get a hobby. and when you feel that you can say something of worth, come back.  It is not a yes or no question; it is more a play-ground knock-about.

Hope you are well.

It IS a yes or no answer. You are simply being asked whether you could be wrong. If you cannot accept that, then you are closed minded. That's what being closed minded is!

So you cannot answer YES.

This demonstrates that you are closed minded.

Floo, "the point I was making... over, and over, and over again, ad infinitum! "  applies to all your posts. Aren't you aware of that?
