    I don't know what catagory this puts me in, but Oski's post about how everyone sucks cracked me up. So if it makes you feel any better Oski000, I got the joke and then it got me.

    Thanks, I thought the "well known posters/celebs/blahs" line was a red flag that it was a joke.

    Doh, my sources are exposed!



    Abraham, father of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, foul murderer!

    Of course, Luke 14:26

    If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters- yes, even his own life-he cannot be my disciple.


    So sayeth Jesus...

    1. Abraham didn't kill his son. God stopped him. Abraham didn't intend to kill Isaac on his own, according to the story. This woman killed her sons. Thou shall not murder was the subsequent commandment. Abraham wasn't alive to see the Ten Commandments.

    2. Don't post scripture and just leave it saying, "so sayeth Jesus." It's misleading at best. The translation for the word hate does not mean hate in the way you and I consider it. Not even close. What it means is that your love for God is to be so strong that everything else pales in comparison.

    How far does respect of the title go.
    If I were to say I'm Rev Rocket River of the church of Rocket River
    how much respect would that garner me?

    That is the thing with religion . . . .
    definition is loose in some points
    One Man's religion is another man's Cult

    RR I wouldn't follow you I'm sure, but I wouldn't mock those who would... that's the difference.

    Agree.

    That's what lawyers do for a living.


    Disagree. The smilie signals that whatever is said is not said in mean spirit.

    Agree.

    I think this has been addressed by others in this thread.

    1) What I would like to see eliminated is people taking themselves too seriously :).

    2) It's funny how people with a great sense of humor can sometimes fail to see it when others use theirs.
