**His4Ever** , you’re in this forum, and you actually used a smiley. That’s all I was asking. Welcome to the party! :hands His4Ever a glass of sparkling white grapejuice: CJ ---

I was very pleasently surprised when I opened this thread and saw what it was all about. My stomach always does a little lurch when I see a thread in the bbq pit flaming someone. I can only imagine how much that hurts. That beng said though, I also think that sometimes people don’t realise that there is a nicer way to express his or her own opinions. Have a good one, His4Ever. ---

I think with me part of it is the childlike innocence, but another part here is that I’m close to being a fundamentalist (in the fundie sense of the term, not so much the religious views sense) and worry that God will not like it if I do not find those who are devoted to God attractive. I wish I could just say it was the childlike innocence and devotion (which I do love), but part of it is my fundie side. Alas, for innocence and devotion I do still melt. _sends **H4e** a 🆒 smiley face_ ---

On an entirely peripheral note, this thread reminded me of a computer game I used to play: _Alpha Centauri_. This game was written by the same guys who made the _Civilization_ line. The basic premise was to build up your society while competing with others, etc etc. I preferred to play the technological faction because of certain advantages. One of the the other factions was the fundamentalist “Lord’s Believers”. If you clobbered a faction sufficiently, i.e. reduced them to only two or three outposts, their leader would often give you a standard “I surrender totally” speech. I quickly got into the habit of targetting the Believers just so I could see their leader, Miriam Godwinson, give that speech. She isn’t the most attractive of the female leaders, but there was something irresistable about spending a few minutes thinking about locking her up in my techno-dungeon and subjecting her to all kinds of things God never intended. Well, ahem, enough about me. Carry on. ---

Just last weekend we went to visit a relative of my husband’s and she wanted to go eat at this bar that was supposed to have good catfish. And a lot of restaurants have bars also.

> [@](#): > > Uh, now now CJ, don’t do too much dancing. I haven’t really changed any. Just trying to change the way in which I present what I believe. The beliefs themselves haven’t changed. And there are probably certain conversations that I should just stay out of as many has said. I’m still a fundamentalist Christian but hopefully I can learn in time to share in a better manner. Bear with me. I know there are many beliefs represented here besides mine. I’ll try not to be overbearing but if asked my opinion on a particular subject, I will be truthful, but try to present it with God’s help in a better way. I have to go, they expect me to work here. You see, the thing is, we don’t **want** you to change your beliefs, particularly, just to examine them in the light of (a) facts and (b) how they impact other people. (Relevant Scripture quotes: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” “Do not judge the sins of others, lest the Lord judge you according to your own sins.”) On the key points of Christianity, you’ll find that several participants in this thread **agree** with you. It’s in how you present your views on, e.g., what God has to say about sin X, that you fall short of doing His will – because simply echoing a given passage as though it were an exclusive statement of His word for a given situation will, I think, nearly always be in error, in terms of what we are supposed to do in His name. I won’t bug you any further with this in your very own flirt thread, but I thought that much was important to say to avoid your misunderstanding what’s been said by you and to you elsewhere. ---

I’ll feel like expressing to His4Ever: you have grown on me a bit. My early impression led me to believe that you were another WV\_Woman. Some examples: In [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=133932) you expressed agreement with WV\_Woman that “only conservatives get Pitted.” Other members posted evidence in that thread to prove otherwise. His4Ever in [this thread](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=131706) : > [@](#): > > There has to be truth that is true for everyone whether they believe it or not. Just as their are absolutes in the physical world. Such as if you jump out a window, it’s absolutely true that you’re going to fall (unless you have a parachute to use). A person will fall after jumping out a window even if he/she has a parachute to use. A parachute used properly can affect a number of factors including average velocity and acceleration among others, but a parachutist will still fall. Please don’t feel insulted…but your statement gave me little incentive to take any of your thoughts about the spiritual world seriously. But I’m over and done with first impressions. WV\_Woman had many incoherent thoughts, assumptions, and arguments. She hardly if ever defended herself in reasonable fashion. **His4Ever** , you’re far above that. Excuse my first impressions of you. ---

::drops in, finally, to thread with peculiarly provocative title:: Hmm… **His4Ever** , I don’t believe I’ve ever said “welcome” either. I must agree, it is good to have you here.

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Enderw24 \* > \*\ ***Flamsterette\_X** is correct on who Gwar is. But, in this particular instance, “gwar?” just happened to be the first sound to tumble out of my mouth after reading that OP. \*\* I see. After reading the OP, my initial reaction was, “What the heck?!?” (someone else pointed me to this thread earlier, so I had to see what it was about) **His4Ever** , welcome to the boards. This is indeed an eclectic bunch of people, and you’ll perhaps find new friends here. I know I have… and I’m not even half as extremely fundamentalist as you are/ 😃 _ducks and runs_ Seriously though, I hope you do find new friends here to talk to and exchange views on differing subjects. It’s fun, if you’ll let it take you to places you never imagined… Okay, I’m rambling. I’ll stop now. By the way, this grape juice isn’t _spiked_, now is it? It just wouldn’t do… not for this thread, at any rate. F\_X ---

**cuauhtemoc’s** crush on **His** is touching, sexy, and sweet. But it is unnerving me because it is making me reevaluate my feelings about **Wildest Bill**. Was I really just intrigued by his views? Views so confusing, so asinine at times, so different from mine in every way that they were fascinating? Or was there something darker at work in my psyche? Why do I miss his posts? ---

“Why do I miss his posts?” Two big reasons I can think of: He usually was good for a laugh. Same reason you’d miss a train wreck. It’s just so fasinating. I miss aspects of who WB was, but I don’t miss _him_ at all. ---

I miss **Bill** too, although I sure as hell didn’t have a _crush_ on him. Sometimes **december** ’s more off-the-wall posts can fill the void, but he lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. He’s too coherent. And he doesn’t have an oversized handlebar moustache like **Bill** did.\* Wouldn’t it be hilarious if I turned out to be a woman? 😃 I’m not though. \*in my mind [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/strangely-attracted-to-his4ever/129494.md?page=2)
