I'll second that, Z-Man. People like KK make life give us born-again types a pretty bad reputation. Given evangelism like this, I can't blame anyone for being a bit disgruntled with those who call themselves "born-again." (sigh)

This is too funny. (And no, it was not me).

I liked the golf joke, maybe this thread is worth something.

No, she cant hurt the reputaion of born again types. She only lacks the thin veneer of sanity that most can affect.

Anyway, that was just Victor. He's gone over.

I do not know about the born again’s you have met Stuart. The ones I know (and yes - there's many of them) have a veneer of sanity so thin you can see right through it as soon as you deviate from talking about money or topics directly related to the amassing of wealth and worldly goods. So far the only ones who don’t agree with this on some level are the ones at the (or close to) the bottom of the hierarchy. It’s how these systems work.

Have a look at how a large bikie gang operates. Or Himmler’s SS.

Oops I did it again.

Hmmm, I would have thought that the hierachy of "born again Christians" are on a much higher level and only important to them ?. When I was young (er) I had a friend somewhat older than me, his name was (is) Mark, a major gear head, jack the lad, smoked (not just cigarettes), drank, cursed, took care of his mom and younger half siblings and was a really funny, nice guy....one day he met a "born again" woman and found God!....It didn't change him and he never preached, just kept it to himself unless you asked him about it, those are the real converts, happy within themselves and happy to share with those that ask and comfortable with those that don't.

audi2.7t (if that is your real name) - Your mate Jack The Lad is just confused. Not born again.

Dont be fooled.

M.D. Holloway · 01-23-2005, 07:44 PM

Victor,
Why would you say he is confused? Sounds like he is worshiping his God and not trying to get into anyone else's business. We all choose to worship (or not) for different reasons. Sharing ideas can be interesting as long as the sharing doesn't turn into being an uncomfortable encounter which can occur with all types of Christians, Jews, Buddists, et al.

Sounds more like he was going with the flow in order to get laid.

Uhhh nope, she was no beauty queen but she was very sweet which kind of adds to the sincerity of it all, he was a decent looking guy with plenty of fairly hot girlfriends....
I really don't care what people believe, think or do as long as it doesn't affect me and isn't pushed on me.

This is actually going back some years, for all I know he fell off the wagon by now, I really don't care enough about it to argue his case, I was just arguing a comment made by yourself. I really don't care what people do with themselves, I'm not the kind of person who seeks guidance or looks for answers, I don't even check the weather forecast because it really doesn't make a difference what they say, the weather will do what it does anyway, I have the same outlook on politics... don't know, don't care.
Name's Sam by the way.

Indeed.

But it is, my friend. Y'see, we are engaged in a worldwide crusade agin' Evil Doers. And you are funding it to the tune of $1 billion per day.

M.D. Holloway · 01-23-2005, 08:22 PM

Sam,
Sounds to me like your outlook is a far better way to live than to worry about the daily converson tally. Religion can be the greatest source of relief or the biggest scam, seems like there can be plenty out there looking to get money or power and are very well schooled in how to deal with objections and take advantage of folks at there lowest.

Well ,I can't do anything about it so I don't care, and I mean that in the sense that I don't let it bother me. I let the little things occupy my time like people who wait in the fire lane outside the supermarket or morons that can't understand that the recyclers will not take cardboard that hasn't been cut into 12"x12" pieces or slobs that don't pick up their dog crap, I'll leave the "biggies" for others to worry about.

More power to you. I could get real controversial and suggest that recycling is bad for the environment, but thats a whle other thread.

In the meantime. 1000 of your countryman have forfeited their lives in the vain glorious crusade, as have tens of thousands of Iraqis. Some one you care about might be next.

Dude, did you ever meet anyone who ever signed up for the army without expecting to actually fight one day and possibly get killed ?, that's like training to be a proctologist and not expecting ***** to happen !!, you're a soldier, you go fight wars, sometimes you win , sometimes you lose, this doesn't mean I agree with the circumstances, I just can't do anything about it, another thing that bothers me is mail deliverers who throw the rubber bands on the floor !.
