I've tried to be "reasonable" on the NT. It didn't work. The only language many of you understand is anger, frustration, and hostility. I can't be reasonable with a bunch of people who have their heads buried in the sand. I cannot reason with people who refuse to accept the fact that (OMG they just MIGHT be wrong!). You all think you're right, and you all think you have all the answers to everything. You have to throw tizzy fits every time somebody comes along and says something that goes against your beliefs. Many of you are backwards in your thinking. A few of you have gone to anti-SDA propaganda websites, and all of a sudden you're experts on Adventism. You are a joke, plain and simple. Your BS is wafer-thin and anybody can see right through it. Instead of being willing to learn something and be objective and open-minded, you have to consistently put up a barrier... a defensive wall while wearing your knowledge deflector shields. Try to be reasonable you say? LMAO. Not with this crowd.
Spoken like a true follower. There have actually been some fairly reasonable arguments back and forth yet you totally pick and choose the posts you'll respond too. You totally ignore anything you don't understand and have no arguement against. I know you're doing this on purpose and really just want to piss everyone off so I ask you this.
Why? Why post at all? Why spend your time sitting on your computer posting to a group of people you obviously hate? Why is doing this worth more of your time than sitting in your den, living room, kitchen reading your scripture and praying? I'm asking these questions in all seriousness because you've been coming here for the past few months and all of a sudden you turned from a fairly funny guy, a guy most of us could joke around with and have a little fun with into a total prick who really nobody can stand. It's stupid really (on my part) because this is the internet and I know that I'll get some bullshit response from you (or none at all) but I figured I would take the five minutes to ask and see if you can surprise me with a serious response that will be more than a simple adolescent attack on my manhood, penis size or my love for family or my lack of belief in your deity.
I should discredit your entire post based on your offensive opening sentence. See, you're just another asstard like the 20 or so others here, but I'll go ahead and do you the courtesy of answering some of your questions and responding to some of your statements.
you totally pick and choose the posts you'll respond too.
Yes, I do that. I do it because if I responded to each and every one of the posts towards me I would be sitting here all day writing, and I have things to do, so I can't do that. Secondly, some of the comments made about me are so asinine and irrelevant to the topic at hand, and derail the thread so bad, that I do choose to ignore them.
You totally ignore anything you don't understand and have no arguement against.
No. I ignore bullshit, and I ignore things that will make us go round and round and round again and nobody can come to terms on anything. So why continue wasting time in that regard? I understand everything anybody here has ever written, except for a couple occaisions where a zany, obscure, unclear statement has been made by immature retards like Brinstar and Lyion. Arguing with many of you is futile because of the "going around in circles" issue, so I just drop it eventually. It has absolutely nothing to do with ignoring, or not understanding, or having no argument against it, etc.
I know you're doing this on purpose and really just want to piss everyone off
The only thing I do on purpose is push people's buttons occasionally. It's fun to do. I'm not here to make friends and I don't care who hates me here. I have plenty of friends in real life, and we all pretty much agree politically and religiously. What do I care about what a bunch of druggies, liberals, and atheists think about me on a message board? Newsflash: This is pure entertainment for me. I was concerned about a serious possible health issue a few weeks ago that had me scared for a few days and I let all you know about it, but hey that's just human nature.
Why? Why post at all? Why spend your time sitting on your computer posting to a group of people you obviously hate?
Again, it's because of the entertainment value for the most part. And I don't hate all of you. I think some of you *really* are stupid (not just because we differ in our thoughts on social issues and religion, but because of some of the outrageously bizarre comments made) and I can't believe that some of you people can actually exist and function in society. I would say on the whole that there's about 20 people here I really dislike for various reasons, but it's not enough for me to give up the entertainment value I get from the NT.
Why is doing this worth more of your time than sitting in your den, living room, kitchen reading your scripture and praying?
I have time set aside for everything in my life. I allocate time for working, studying for school, studying the Bible (mostly late at night before I go to bed), for my family, for my girlfriend, and for my entertainment. So, sitting here typing on this message board does not interfere with the rest of my responsibilities and duties in life.
I'm asking these questions in all seriousness because you've been coming here for the past few months and all of a sudden you turned from a fairly funny guy, a guy most of us could joke around with and have a little fun with into a total prick who really nobody can stand.
Well, the feeling is mutual. But that's all part of the entertainment value for me. I've mentioned this before but I'll say it again. I had an epiphany about my life around a year and a half ago, and I've changed quite a bit... and changed for the better. Yes, I have become a better person. Maybe I'm not as fun anymore, but I'm definitely wiser and healthier now, and that's more important to me. Don't like it? Skip over my posts and ignore me.
It's stupid really (on my part) because this is the internet and I know that I'll get some bullshit response from you (or none at all) but I figured I would take the five minutes to ask and see if you can surprise me with a serious response that will be more than a simple adolescent attack on my manhood, penis size or my love for family or my lack of belief in your deity.
I do give bullshit responses occiasionally but it's usually in retaliation to a bullshit statement that has been directed toward me. If you're honest with yourself you will know that to be true. I don't generally troll, but many of you troll against
anything I say, so to me your statement that I don't respond back because I have no argument against it, etc. is very ironic, and very "kettle calling the pot black" so to say.
I'm a very conservative Christian, and I know many of you have a big problem with that. I don't care. That's YOUR problem. We will never agree on certain subjects such as politics, religion, gay issues (no offense, Brinstar), the reason(s) for the state of the economy, war, etc. Just expect opposition and you'll be fine. If you get offended by some of the things I say then take a look at yourself first and tone down your offensiveness, and you'll see me tone it down too. Seems like we've had this conversation a couple times before. Many of you cool it for a few days, but then you just jump right back into your jerk saddles again. If that's how you want it... that's fine with me. But I'm not going away because I kinda like it here.
