Jodi, this joke wins the thread. Kudos.

Damn, this thing comes in handy quite a bit. Here’s hoping for Omegaman’s sake that the ladle was blessed by a priest.
I was scared to have the crucifix I wear blessed by him. It’s 4 inches long. A ladle, no way. That ladle thing aint never going away, is it ?
Your absolutly correct. I’m trying . Please don’t judge me too harshly. I really am trying.
I’m not judging you really, I’m just pointing out a lesson that people often forget about how their actions affect the things the perception of the things they associate with.

Thanks! 
Sometimes I think I’m only amusing myself.

The boogie man got me a warning . If you think the same of God , then why not the same thing? He has touched me in real life . If he has not touched you, well maybe not yet, maybe not ever , but please don’t believe I haven’t held life in my hands. It is horror but it is joy of the greatest thing you can ever know. These are only words to you . Most who know them to be true fear your judgement and fear thier condemnations for thier confessions. I don’t know this fear . Jesus took it from me.But he gave me truth and the power to speak it. Only my weakness makes me talk the garbage I do to those who attempt to sabotage my truth.
It’s not just you. I was thinking the guy from Average White Band myself.
Yeah and your insanity makes you post shit like that.
I’m sorry I used the word judged . It is for the people who attack Christians mostly . From you I really don’t consider it as much more as direction from a peer who means to correct me . I do appreciate it . I know you know I mean that . I am glad you are helping me . Brother, I need it. I try so hard every day to walk the walk , but it is hard . I know have been there. I can only say I am blessed that He forgives me for what I do here and in the end will know what I have done. I am glad you watch over me her but don’t fret . In the real world , My actions are those of a man , just like Him. Be sure and be proud.
Sweet ! your back ! The gems you have to share . Someone once told me not to respond to every post but yours are hate filled gems certainly worth a response. Does it meet with your approval ? Are you happy ? Your life must be an e-ticket ride of the greatest wonder . Oh , please , was that best you had , or can you share some more of your minds greatest joys ? Your hate entralls me . Come now . Don’t be shy , take a few minutes and give it all the best you can gather. I’m dying to hear what you have to say. Sould I goad you ? Is that what it will take for you to give at least a minimal effort ? I’m a little lacking right now having been a man and all and owned up to what I’ve said but you just make your best effort okay ? I’ll leave the light on for you . One hit wonder . That should get me several paragraphs. don’t you think ? Everyones watching , don’t let them down. I’m weak , and garbage or whatever . Go askeptic , get busy get your groove on !!
Why do Christians always say this? In the past several weeks, I’ve heard at least two Christians say that Christians aren’t perfect. . . as though anyone thought they were. And when someone says, well, I’m a Christian, but I’m not perfect, what’s the correct response? Almost any response I can think of to that question would be insulting.
If I saw someone on the Dope calling himself a Pagan and acting like Omegaman, I’d say I’m happy that I’m not a Pagan also. People who want to represent their faith in a good light should behave accordingly.
I don’t hate you I just think you’re a loony. You are the one talking about knives and boogiemen and holding lives in your hands, not me. I don’t think you’re weak or garbage either. You kind of seem like a lost soul. Like you are drownig in a world you don’t understand and are desperately grasping for a life line. I hope you find it.
I count 5 platitudes…am I off by any? :rolleyes:
Cheers,

Omegaman, I don’t see anything unreasonable in askeptic’s last post. When anger takes over a person, he or she doesn’t seem to make as much sense. (You’ve seen guys pumped up with road rage. It’s like a temporary insanity or something.)
I used to have terrible problems with anger and I just took it out on everybody. Several things came together to help me – one was someone on a forum, another was counselling. The list is too long to describe here.
Not being pissed all the time has been such a RELIEF! Here’s a link that may give you a little insight into anger, but personal counselling has done me a world of good. Featherlou knows the name of the kind of therapy that I’m talking about. It focuses on the present.
Just remember that you walk the walk wherever you happen to be walking. No time off for kicking. I know, I know. Don’t look at me! I’m not the example!
You don’t look nearly as old as you have to be!
Glad I wasn’t the only one.

Omegaman, as previously stated, I really believe your trying here, but efforts alone don’t matter much to those on the other end of an internet message board. They only have your words to go by and nothing else.
That said, I think it would help your cause tremendously to stop implying that the folks around here are “children.” If you’ve got a personal beef with one (or however many) poster(s), then take it up specifically. Impugning the maturity level of a whole group equates to broad-brushing at best, being deliberately disingenuous at worst.
Also, as has been mentioned, if almost after every misstep, you opine that “you’re not perfect, just forgiven,” then that becomes little more than an excuse that’s easily ignored. If you want to shine your light out from under a bushel, then just take your lumps and then next time, Correct Your Behavior. Because it does indeed take more than a pithy saying and a quasi-apology for the world to see that conversations with you aren’t wasted.
Again, talk person-to-person, rather than adult-to-child (if that’s what you’re aiming for occasionally) or man-to-whatever. It’s only has to be about you as a person, sexuality or years lived is unimportant in a text-based medium, as long as you can express yourself as truly human. Ask for help even, that can never hurt and there’s always shit to be learned. Right?
I thought the story about the “white eyebrows” was hilarious. Perhaps you can continue your hand at some comedy? 
I have a theory that Omegaman is actually Mel Gibson. :eek:
