[QUOTE=Kalhoun] What’s the point of telling people what a selfish bad-ass you used to be? Is that something the church wants you to do? I would think you’d want to keep that on the Q.T. [/QUOTE] He gets extra Paradise Points™ if he uses every opportunity to: A) Tell us what a BadAss he used to be; B) Use the word “Him” twice in a post; C) Urge someone to “Stand Tall”; D) Make a completely non-sensical religious reference; E) Assert that askeptic hates him. ---

[QUOTE=begbert2] Dude, he’s telling you Jesus saved him, from being a ‘badass’. How can you know the magnitude of Jesus’s saving power until you have been informed of how un-saved he was prior to the saving thing? Plus he might be bragging, since he is emphasizing it rather hard - badass is cool, right? Additionally he seems to be using it as an indirect method of ad-homineming **RedFury**. But either way, there’s a straightforward prostelytizing reason to assert your prior badassosity. [/QUOTE] I think you hit the nail on the head. All this talk of baddassciousness has a decidedly threatening tone to it. Which not only wades back into the badass pool, but hovers around that pride sin just a bit as well, doesn’t it? ---

Don’t let your weak bullshit define you. I promise you, some day a man will make you eat your weak ass bullshit if you have the balls to speak them in RL. I wish I knew that you speak your words of hate in RL. But please, We both know they are your intranet fantasy. Don’t let it eat you alive. You can stand tall like a man. The next time somebody fucks you, tell them. Don’t let your weakness define you. If you get your ass beat, so be it! I have been beat down like a bitch many times. Do you think beating someone will make you a man? Get balls and see for yourself. It’s just another event you have to live with. ---

Og, I wish I could write posts as thoroughly badass as that. Though I must admit, using the word “damn” did send a little shiver of badassy goodness through me.

You know **Ass** I’m really done replying to your weak ass. Every time I do it’s like you get another point. So Peace Be With You. You are lost in your own childish bullshit. Please don’t stop with your hate, though, If it gives you what you need to feel like a man, then so be it. I wish that men? like you could be men and stand for what is right, because that would make the world a better place to be, but it is in my mind. Just a wisp of integrity that could change what is to what should be. ---

The tough don’t tell people they are…the insecure do. Much like Junior High students talking about sex are the ones not getting it. Maybe it’s the message board format, maybe it’s this blocky font, or even writing it in general, but typing ‘I am a badass’ is hilarious. What? Are we supposed to be intimidated now? ---
