Rude to the religious

The BBQ Pit
1

I wish to apologize for the mean and petty tone of my posts over the past several days. I’ll explain.

There have been a whole passel of threads devoted to evangelizing for Jesus lately. The responses have varied from 100 percent agreement, respectful tolerance, sarcasm,
and then the rudeness of which I am guilty.

I find religion fascinating and I am always interested in disicussion of comparative theology:why do Hindus believe in reincarnation, how do the Orthodox Catholic and Roman Catholic rites differ, what do the LDS believe about the nature of Jesus, and so on. I am respectful of other folks’ differing beliefs.

What gets me riled is evangelists, folks who preach and don’t listen, folks who think that they alone hear the voice of God and therefore, anyone who disagrees must be wrong. Evangelists cannot see that other folks might have opinions that may be different from their own but are valid, nevertheless. They don’t have to be Christians; pagans and Muslims have done this, too. As a gay man, especially, I get enraged when a Christian tells me I have no right to live and love.

There is a huge gulf between a mutually respectful examination of each other’s beliefs and saying there is only one way to God and any who disagree are mistaken or evil. A post which begins, “I’m right and there is no way you can ever have any basis for disagreeing because I have absolute truth on my side” is a real non-starter. Where do you go with a conversation that starts like this?

Not all Christians are like this. I have deep respect for the intelligent, thoughtful Christians on this board. If all Christians behaved as Polycarp does, they could probably get me back in the fold.

I don’t like coming off as shrill and intolerant. However, if a Christian says, “I am Lazarus, come to tell you all, I shall tell you all”, he must expect to be flamed.

I apologize to FoG, Wildest Bill, and on unrelated matters, Matt_Mcl, Scylla, Pldennison, and Oldscratch.

I put this in the Pit because it could be kindling for flames.

I did think you were being rude to Wildest Bill, goboy, but I am glad to see you repenting, so to speak.

Why are you apologizing to me? Have you done something rude to me? God I haven’t noticed. Personally, I’ve liked your attitude the last couple days. Now I admit I don’t read much of the christian threads anymore, maybe you did something bad there. But I find your bitchiness and rudeness refreshing.

Too bad your mother obviously doesn’t swallow you fucking retarded waste of a soul. You are a rude and offensive jerk. You can talk big but you obviously have no balls. I’m usually a laid back guy but I’d really love to meet you and pound your head in. I know that’s a silly thing to say and it will never happen. yadda yadda yadda. But I’m allowed to have my sick little fantasies just like you are (although I’m sure your fantasies are much different and include a 10 year old little boy. fucking pedophile faggot). I’m still waiting for you to come “make a man out of me”. cum-swallowing-take-it-up-the-ass-wish-you-were-straight-sorry-you’re-gay-sad-pathetic-pedophile.

I love you man!

Now react damnit!

My, I don’t know where to begin. I suppose I should make the point that homosexuality and pedophilia have nothing to do with each other, and I should get some cites to back up the well-known notion that heterosexuals proportionately commit far more pedophilic acts, not to mention that the whole notion creeps me out in the extreme, but I won’t.

What I want to know is, are you a sock puppet? Besides in any scenario, I’m the daddy, you’re the bitch.

6

Yeah. If you really want to get goboy’s goat start calling him a bigot, or a closet liberal.

I think it’s pretty obvious, goboy, that if you read between the lines of Ms. Bullpup’s post, it’s pretty obvious what she’s saying. She’s usually the one who’s “laid back,” she says. The “whimper, whimper, beg” is implied, but it’s definitely there in her plea for you to “make a man” out of her. She wants you to “pound your head in”-to her as she lays back; and she’s desperately worried that you’ll find her pleas silly and that it’ll never happen. She beats herself up emotionally for having her “sick little fantasies” about you being the BullDawg and her being the bitch, and her cum-swallowing imagery is so pervasive in her pleas to you, I think it’s clear she cant’t the idea out of her head. She’s obviously desperate to be fucked by a real man so she can get those frightening fantasies about little boys out of her dreams.

I think you should throw her a mercy fuck; it’ll be so cute to see her tears of gratitude.

What, the Gay Guy doesn’t warrant an apology? Hrmph.

I didn’t know I’d offended you, Esprix, but I apologize for it anyway.

10

Ok. Now you sound like Clinton. I apologize to the american people for any actions I may or may not have taken.

11

I too must demand an apology.

No, you haven’t offended me in the least. I just like to collect apologies.

12

I’m being compared to the Father of Lies?
[rage]
[urge to flame rising]
[remember you promised not to be mean anymore, goboy]
{besides, Oldscratch is just trying to get a reaction]

I love you, Oldscratch. Here’s a hug.

13

Woohoo it worked.
Comeon admit it goboy, you’re attracted by his combination of masculinity and doughiness. His duplicity excites you.

goboy and Clinton sitting in a tree,
K-I-S-S-I-N-G…

:smiley:

I don’t know what you’re apologizing to me for, but whatever it is, I accept.

::: walks away confused :::

15

Is that the best you can do?

I was hoping to be abused much more then that.

fucking pedophiles.

goboy:

I am udeserving of an apology, but thanks. Go take that shower. You stink.

Heh. heh. heh. (Let me know if you don’t get the joke)

Bulldog:

Dude, you’re just pathetic. If you wanna be a bad guy that’s fine. At least try to be creative and competant. It’s no fun beating up on a dimwit, you know. Elevate your game or get to the minor leagues.

17

I get it, and thank you. You get my respect, too.

18

I think its time to get past the apologies. Let’s talk reparations. I gladly accept Paypal.

19

goboy, ignore bulldawg. he isnt a sock puppet, he is a reincarnationof a virulent and hateful troll named ‘pitbulldawg’ from back in the '90’s.

I can prove it: watch, he will retort with attacks on my personality, what a whiny bitch I am, and how I would be better off dead. I figure he is out of prison again, and has access to a computer.

Don’t forget, Kels, he’ll also make a snide comment about your weight and not being able to get a “real man.”
