The last five posts on here are all fresh ones by you paul k. You do know don't you, that you can add to your own post, if something occurs after you have published it?
Or are you just trying to keep it bumped to the top? Because it's really fucking annoying. It's like one loud man in a bar shouting when everyone else has buggered off with earache (or terminal boredom).
Paul K - re my lions comment - I wasn't being flippant. I was being deadly serious. Religion causes such a significant proportion of the world's problems that to align oneself with any one particular doctrine is delusional at best, downright dangerous and stupid at worst.
Are you delusional, Paul?
Sure I am, andrew, if you define it the way you seem to. But under your definition I wonder how delusional you are.
Religion you say? Well not all of them, andrew. Do you see Christianity causing a lot of the worlds problems? You know, andrew, if all the people of the world would be Christian, we would all get along much better. But then again, if all of the world was Moslem it would get together just as good, maybe even better. Maybe you would prefer that.
But if the whole world were secular, I personally think it would be far worse because we would not have anything to anchor on to (that sounded dumb - but I think you get the point).
But since none of the above is ever going to happen, I suppose all we can do is speculate.
But can you tell me why you would call down the lions on "Christians" and no other religion. It was Christians that you referred to - not religion as a whole. But it was religion as a whole that you reffered to as the "problem" in your later post. Is it just Christianity that you hate? And if so, why do you hate it so? You don’t call down the lions on the radical Moslems or any of the terrorists religions – only Christians. Why is that?
Yes, your right on that point. But England didn't use lions - they tried to do something like that, but it seems the Christians won their fight, doesn't it.
Yes, your right on that point. But England didn't use lions - they tried to do something like that, but it seems the Christians won their fight, doesn't it? But I don't understand your point really. Are you saying that you think those Christians were wrong in there struggle? Please clearify. You really fell short of answering my questions in my previous post. Of course, I'm not saying you have to comment; don't get me wrong. I'm really sincere about those questions.

Ah that'll be cos English Lions are rubbish.
Paul (he said, feeling wearysomne yet compelled to answer this deluded fool)....No, it's not just Christians...the lions thing was merely a reference based in history that may (or may not) have touched a wry, humourous nerve...clearly not, in your case, perhaps having no sense of "wry" and, cultarally, pretty little sense of history.
But a secular vision without anchor compels one to find such a touchpoint amongst one's fellows....a religious system under several touchponts leaves all clinging to individual posts...separately. There is no God. There might just be Santa and the Tooth Fairy, but God...? Naw.
As for your comment on my taking your lion comment seriously - I would refer back to your own reply post when I did, in fact, take it as a joke. You said that you were serious, so I merely commented on that, obviously understanding the history behind it. I understood from the beginning that you were joking.
Yes, yes, everyone understands clearly that you believe God to be a fairy tale. Is it okay with you if I disagree?

As for your comment... 'Paul (he said, feeling wearysomne yet compelled to answer this deluded fool)...' I think that it is hilarious that, more than likely, no one will call you down for this rude comment, yet when I did that, I was blasted for it, and rightly so. I know people here don't see eye to eye with me - but it is really funny that the rules don't apply equally across the board. It's okay though really, I'm okay with it, I just wanted to point it out, that's all.

Yes, yes, everyone understands clearly that you believe God to be a fairy tale. Is it okay with you if I disagree? And, do you really think that a secular world would ever come up with a consensus policy of anything but that there is no God?

Oi Paul, you know what you said about how people should answer questions and all that? Well, I asked you a question but you didn't answer. Here it is again:
Whose side do you believe God was on during the American Civil War?
I am sorry, Enzo, I don’t see that posted question anywhere in this forum. I have been having a lot of partial and duplicated posts lately and I think that there may be some tech problems. I will be happy to answer your question now.
It is always dangerous, I think, to flatly state God’s opinion on anything that he has not directly commented on, so I can only state my opinion. I can’t say “which side” but I think that I can say that I believe God is not a great fan of slavery. If that is a help to you, I will just leave it at that, for now. If not, then ask me again, I guess. LOL
By the way folks, I just came to understand why there is so many partial and duplicated posts from me. I was wrong to think it was a tech problem. I did it myself. I understand what I was doing wrong and I apologize and promise that I won't do it again.
Ha! Mark, I guess you could tell that I was hoping that you would just let that answer stand. But, I really didn’t think you would. But since I have, sort of, committed myself to answer all questions posed to me, I will say this:
Yes, I am referring to the final battle on earth that is prophesied in the book of “The Revelation” in the Bible, the one that will culminate in what we refer to as the Battle of Armageddon. But, I really want to let it stand at that. Any further discussion may lead us off in a whole new direction and, I must confess, the details are far to sketchy for me to fully understand (since it is prophesy of things that have not yet occurred) and I am not really qualified to intelligently argue the details.
By the way, maddan, you might be surprised to hear that if we went to war in Iran now, you and I would most likely be on the same side of that discussion. Maybe for different reasons, though.
