I limit mine to those which involve no gods, like zen. I refuse to park my brain at the door just to make some nonexistent god happy.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

That's a common statement said about ancients. It was very ordinary to attribute your commentary to a famous person, to increase it's circulation. The practice continues to the modern era. George Washington's Vision was published 1880. Had it been an advocacy piece it would have vanished by today, but by attributing it George Washington meant that it has lived on for almost 140 years.

By refusing efforts to help repopulate pirates, it would seem the CFSM is contributing to killing people |

Hi Tom. Welcome to the forum. We could use some new blood, so please stick around a while. To your point, the FSM (what does your C stand for?) gives the world free will to choose the pirate way of life. We believe it is others rewriting history, making pirates out to be villains, that is behind this decline in pirates. In fact, pirates are peaceful travelers. Big picture here -- the FSM has given us a good world to live in, with plenty of pasta, and it is not his fault we're ruining it. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

DJTeddyBear Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 5 Posts: 265 | I’m not sure how I missed this thread, but as a Reverend in a church that doesn’t believe in god (info), I’ll just repeat what I said when Mike tweeted this news: Mazel Tov! Empasis mine. I burst out laughing at that part. It surprises me that nobody mentioned it. Ignorance is bliss and knowledge is power. But having only some facts can get you into trouble! |

I believe that the Catholics call the "sin of presumption" (presuming, that is, that God would give you the grace of repentance). You see it in mafia movies where they bump off someone then go to confession.
The most faithful people I know are not judgemental. |

I think they are right about that. One verse you seldom hear quoted in conservative Protestant churches is this one:
That implies to me that salvation is a process and something that can be lost. Not a popular position among most Protestants I have met.
Me too. However, I know so few like that. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

FrGamble Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 67 Posts: 7596 | While I readily admit that Evenbob brings out the worst in me I do hope and pray to not be judgmental. After all Jesus said often that if we judge others we will be judged as well and that the measure with which you judge others will be measured out to you. While I desire to proclaim truth in a loving way I will always leave the judging up to God. “It is with the smallest brushes that the artist paints the most exquisitely beautiful pictures.” ( |
