By not pretending to be an absolute idiot. Only someone with an IQ of 12 would think that dropping into a memorial thread and saying the deceased is in hell wouldn’t know that was inappropriate. Only someone with 100% self absorption would continue to to post a sign off that so many people have complained about.

I have one question… Why do you keep editing nearly every single post of yours after you’ve made it? I can see it as an occasional thing, but this is nuts.

And never bless me again, I don’t even know if you clean those hands… Yuck…

What does cooking food at McDonald’s actually entail? Isn’t everything pre-made and frozen, more or less?

You know, the more Holly talks past us without actually addressing the content of our posts, with a firm sort of smugness you only see in self-entitled jerks… really makes me think that she fits in quite well around here in many ways and is starting to grow on me!!!

What about turning the other cheek?

Oh and my childhood Church was right near a nightclub where someone got shot or stabbed once, plus a lot of drug dealing went on. Once some guy off his face came in and gave a weed to my priest, shouted “hallelujah” or something and walked out.

As you wish.

_The greatest of all sins is to cast your evil upon the face of God.  
To ascribe to him the darkness in your own heart._  
And yet you judge and condemn people with a smile on your face and a song in your heart, doing monstrous evil in his name, passing it off with the ever sociopathic ‘this is what I believe’, as if this excuses your poison.

So I condemn you to be judged for your crimes by your own standards. To reap the karmic whirlwind that you sew every day with these words. To face God in your heart and your mind _and in your dreams_, for the ill that you wish and inflict upon others with your words and your beliefs.

_May he show you the same degree of mercy that you have desired for others._

I have a strong belief that if Hell does exist, then you personally, JOSH, will be shipped there in the express lane. And I believe that you will be beheaded and your head stuck on a pike and displayed prominently as a warning to others. And I believe, _firmly_, that god, if he exists, will, in deciding if he should intervene, spit on your piked head. And then, deciding that is not enough, he will piss on your piked head. And then, deciding that is not enough, he will shit on your piked head. And he will say you got what you deserved.

But hey, that’s just my personal belief, and I can only hope you do not choose to be offended.

My child, focus. People have told you over and over that the mature thing to do is to not act in a way that is viewed as rude to a majority of those around you. Which, so far, is pretty much everyone here. You claim you don’t want to harass people or be obnoxious, yet you continue to do it while blaming others for their very natural responses. If you really do work at McD’s, you need to be 15? You are acting like a three year old (isn’t that the age when kids start being less egocentric?)

Left intact for beauty, especially this last sentence.

Like fuck it doesn’t. You keep going on about how you have a right to say how you feel? Well, it goes two ways, sweetie pie. The right to say what you want doesn’t mean you have a right to say what you want without consequences. Don’t like getting jumped on? Don’t say things that are offensive?

And no, I’m not going to just “ignore you”. Don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk.

Umm… I seem to recall a phrase in the Bible (as well as very similar ones in most religions) about “Do unto others as you would have others do unto you”. If you offend someone then why does that not give them the right to offend you right back?

Then why say anything, and why argue with people for pages and pages? You’re really not taking responsibility for your actions. You’re saying words that are intended to communicate taking responsibility, but it’s clear you aren’t actually doing it. You’re going to have to if you want to stick around here.

If what I say upsets someone, it is never on purpose. I don’t go out of my way to offend others with what I stand for and believe no matter what y’all think, so **if you dislike enough what a person brings to a forum that you choose to come to as well, all that you can do is ignore them because they have the right to give their two cents on whatever is talked about too.**

I say what I say because it is who I am and if who I am upsets another person, that is just the way that things end up. Y’all are going to say whatever you want no matter who it upsets so why can’t I?

God bless you three always!!!
