Unprovable myths and loony theories

Yep, but unless I’m mistaken, you’re also a person. According to your philosophy, you’re an idiot.

A misanthropic idiot.

…just saying, is all.

Pardon me for the nitpick, but doesn’t “Christian” translate as “follower of Christ”? If that’s true, can one follow oneself?

By practicing what you preach.

Main Entry: 1Chris·tian
Pronunciation: 'kris-ch&n, 'krish-
Function: noun
Etymology: Latin christianus, adjective & n., from Greek christianos, from Christos
Date: 1526
1 a : one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ b (1) : DISCIPLE 2 (2) : a member of one of the Churches of Christ separating from the Disciples of Christ in 1906 (3) : a member of the Christian denomination having part in the union of the United Church of Christ concluded in 1961
2 : the hero in Bunyan’s Pilgrim’s Progress

Growing up, I believe I was taught that “Christian” mean to be “Christ-like” as well.

Lord Ashtar, I didn’t want to nitpick that either (because I tried to stay on topic) but I couldn’t resist after your post.

“Nazis” should be capitalized.

wondering whether neo-Smartass is capitalized

In your case Left Hand, I think you deserve that honor.

Could we get a ruling on whether bringing “grammar nazis” ino a thread on neo-Aryan supremacists violates Godwin’s Law? :confused:

As my exchanges with badchad amply demonstrate, anyone can claim the appelation “Christian” by isolating from the text of Scripture the particular aspects of it that underlie and support his or her basic concepts and prejudices, throwing away the rest. For me, what constitutes a “true Chrisitan” is someone behaving in the manner that Christ taught. Like Scotticher, for example.

Perhaps, Polycarp, we could consider it a violation of Gaudwin’s Law.

I think we should all be extra nice to OneYogini. This is a person who just started here yet knows not to include his/her signature more than once per thread. I’m genuinely touched and feel there are others on this board who could learn that lesson.

Plus, I have a soft spot in my heart for people who use too many quote marks, smilies in the Pit, and an archaic number of commas. (blissed out :wink: )

Aww, thanks dropzone! :slight_smile: Although I confess that I don’t always remember not to include my signature more than once per thread. (If it happens somewhere else, please don’t pit me! :wink: Thanks for the info!)

“I have a soft spot in my heart for people who use too many quote marks, smilies in the Pit, and an archaic number of commas”

Where were you when I was in high school English (and believe it or not it was an Honors English class!)!! My teacher always marked up my papers with “overuse of commas”!! What can I say, I love commas (and quotes and smilies too!!)!!

:slight_smile: Yogini

Although she is way over the four line maximum for sigs.

<glares sternly at OneYogini>

Well…again, you learn something new every day. Is there really a limit? Who knew? In the alternatiev, could you please show me Miller how to make the lines smaller in font? I can’t figure out how to do that! :slight_smile: Thanks a bunch!

Ah, yes, David Icke, the ‘everyone I don’t like or is richer than me is controlled by the invisible lizard people’ man. I never get tired of that line of logic. Never works on the cops that pull B]me** over, though.

:smack:

Seriously, though, I think religion just gave nutjobs like the ‘separatists’ noted here a ‘good’ reason to defend their stupidity. “Not my idea”, they say, “Blame it on God for creating an inferior/superior race. I just want things to be the way He intended them to be. Clearly my nasty and narrow-minded views cannot be held accountable.”

Yeah, there should have been a “most” in front of “people”. You got “misanthropic” right, anyway.

What really scares me is that the screening program that governs what sites I can access from my terminal at work allows me to access the site in the original post… but by and large prevents me from following links to sites that may contain nudity (partial or full frontal… take your pick)…:rolleyes:

Illinois Nazis?

I hate Illinois Nazis.

Who are these Illinois Nazis that are so much worse than regular Nazis?
