Adam: The gated community reference was a joke. I assumed that you would realize that. Obviously, I should have given more thought to whom I was directing it toward.

Inre the GWT: Okay, fair enough. I just get a little antsy when I see or hear folk making any reference using the terms, “Great” & “White” at the same time.

Then there is this:

Or, to put it another way, Only by those who feel as you do. As a matter of fact, I believe I already referred to it just like that.

Well, yeah, because we have a hard time imagining anyone being happy about losing their ability to think or reason. Particularly about the welfare of our loved ones.

> [@](#):
>
> Is that response better for you guys? You won’t be sad that you’re Mom’s in hell, because, you will be INCAPABLE of feeling sadness, and pain. What other way can I explain it?

Actually, I think it might be best if you didn’t try to explain it anymore. It sounds horrible.

GLWasteful: “I just get a little antsy when I see or hear folk making any reference using the terms, “Great” & “White” at the same time.”  
Until just now I thought you must be from Australia and you were referring to sharks. Boy, am I a moron! 🙂

how about:

“Obviously I should have given more thought to whom I was directing it.”

Better still:

“Obviously I should have given more thought to whom I was speaking”

Dougie, Dougie, Dougie…where to begin?

Oh, well, I’ll just leave it at this: What my last posting above was addressing was obviously Adam’s narrowminded view of his way being the right way. Why you feel the need to switch the conversation from that to a textual analysis of the BoM is beyond me. It’s veracity or lack thereof has absolutely nothing to do with my addressing Adam’s “speaking of God what [he] know[s] not.” And FYI, that last bit within quotes just now is from the Koran, a tome which I personally believe is pure fiction; however, there is a lot of good advice in it. You and Adam should get together sometime and find out exactly what that advice is.

silly, silly beings of this small planet.  
you cant think beond your narrow minded field of vision, let alone create the god within you. tell me really, what happened first: god made men in his liking, or the men invented god in their liking(you know what im talking about). if god made us in his liking all aliens must be godless, except of course they look exacly like us.  
how come there are so many religions on this tiny planet alone? because they are as many as the people is different from each other.  
when you die you will be living in the heaven of your own making. considering that, why wait? because we cant make heaven on earth? because we cant both make heaven and hell on earth? because we cant make hell on earth?  
the word hell symbols a place where you dont want to be! no matter what!  
the word heaven symbols the place where you want to be! no matter what! \< because heaven will be as you want it to be, thats your heaven, nobody can make it for you. not even god, why? because you made god, you belived in the entity god, therefore he exists.

* * *

god is a figment of you imagination, therefore you made god, therefore you are god.

just call me bj0rn

Fine with me, Monty. I accept the Bible as the word of God, but not the Koran or the Book of Mormon: the three are, so far as I can perceive, mutually exclusive. Granted others whopost messages here won’t necessarily agree, but I stand by it. 😉
