What do you lose by refusing to use words the way they should be? Respect from anyone over age 5.

Nobody attacks you for your beliefs, they attack you because you shit all over a memorial thread for no good reason, other than you didn’t particularly like Mindy.

Actually, technically, no - you did not have the right to threadshit like that. And people are not going to ignore that kind of horrible, unfeeling behavior. That fact that you are too damn dumb to understand any of that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.

Bitch

**No shit sherlock!** Look at what you wrote there bonehead, then think about how you keep saying that anyone who doesn’t like what you post should just ignore you. Do you see how that means we are supposed to just like you continue to do the bad?

I guess this is spitting into the wind, but here goes anyway. Where did you pull that malarkey from? It’s certainly not in Scripture.

You must have an interesting (read that as: absolutely no clue what the words actually mean) way of reading the Lord’s Prayer. That’s the inverse of that prayer.

Yes, you are. I find it offensive that you have to blather on about your god in damn near every post, and then demand that I accept his “blessing”. You are not sharing your beliefs, you are throwing them at us.

I just drove thru there - some of the billboards were, uh, amazing…

And now, I must drive. I’d like to make it to Kingman before stopping for the night.

So Holly, where do you get these non-Biblical concepts about forgiveness, Grace and humility? What do you have to say for yourself now that it’s clear that several of your beliefs are directly opposed, and I mean exactly 180 degrees out from New Testament scripture? These aren’t our words that contradict yours, they’re from the Bible. Do you attend Bible study? How often do you chat with your pastor? Is it a lay clergy? Where do you get these fascinating ideas?

There’s nothing in the Bible about snake throwing either. Go figure.

Actually, isn’t there something in Acts about Paul shaking off a serpent that bit him? But who am I to question science?

So to sum up:

JOSH is willing to be nasty and hurtful under the guise of being “honest”.

She thinks everything is about her and what she wants.

She is proud of her ignorance, disregard for others and lack of consideration for the basic rules of polite social intercourse, and considers any attempts to point out why these are bad things as trying to “make her crack”.

She will select the tiniest fragments of messages that she feels support her even when the rest of those messages, and all the messages around her, convey a far different message.

She claims she is proven right because God hasn’t personally told her that she’s doing wrong, and doesn’t seem to think that this (not to put too fine a point on it) is a literally insane view to seriously hold.

And that’s not even getting into the questionable Scriptural interpretations.

At this point I’m kind of hoping she’s a troll, because otherwise she’s a sociopath of the sort who one day will cheerfully poison the punch at the high school dance because she wants to and anyway God didn’t tell her not to.

I don’t know - perhaps because he specifically orders you to do just that in the Bible? But what does God know?

I had a fitful sleep last night, with this nagging question that I just couldn’t drive from my head, and I hope you guys can help me out. You see, I was wondering, do you think **James Otto Sweet Heart** cracks for any one? I mean, sure, maybe for someone who is \*not \*under the lord, that’s granted, but golly … it’s just one of those conundrums, you know?

As far as mental acuity, it appears to me she was “cracked” a long time ago. She is just another vengeful dingbat hiding behind religious dogma. Sadly, the world is full of them.

JOSH is a **cracktivist**. This is a new and special form of activism.

I’m a her, not a them. There’s only one of me, for which I am sure many people are grateful 🆒

Any comment on the rest of that post? I’m honestly trying to help you see why you’ve gotten the sort of reception you have here.

Holly, you have the manners of a goat. We aren’t asking you not to share your views, but there is a time and a place. That you don’t get that is not on all of us.

But just stay stubborn and prideful. We’ll eventually tire of you and then you’ll just be lonely.

I used to figure that James Otto Snakethrower Hellion, that sultry lass with fire in her eyes, was a troll. But apparently the many other websites she devotes her time to really do indicate “crackpot.”
