[QUOTE=ThePCapeman] **Skald the Equal Opportunity Pitter** : First the obnixious athiest **BadChad** and now obnoxious bible-thumper **Bible Man**. Hmm. What’s the common thread here? Keep up the good work, **Skald**. [/QUOTE] I like that, too! Best not to take sides in these kinds of situations. ---

Well, it’s about time [Bibleman](http://www.ericmackonline.com/ica/blogs/emonline.nsf/dx/BibleMan/content/M2?OpenElement) showed up on the SDMB. Lord knows we need him here. ---

I wonder if **Bible man** is possibly just trolling. I mean c’mon, he takes his name from a third rate video series made by Willie “Buddy” Ames. That he just seemed to pop in right around the time **Bad Chad** was spewing his crap seems a wee bit convenient. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] You’d think so, wouldn’t you. Speaking from a little experience of this particular arena, it’s actually quite wretched; you have to continually fabricate rationalisations as to why the real world doesn’t conform to your description of it. Miserable. [/QUOTE] You are Marvin the Paranoid Android, and I claim my 5 galactic credits. ---

[QUOTE=Skald the Rhymer] You insist that the only persons to whom the Holy Spirit ever communicates are yourself and persons whose opinions mesh exactly with yours. [/QUOTE] This is of course precisely compatible with the possibility that Bibleman’s opinions are in fact entirely correct. ---

[QUOTE=EddyTeddyFreddy] So it’ll be one helluva shock when those folks arrive before the Throne for their accountability moment, doncha think? [/QUOTE] I entertain myself with the idea that at the Pearly gates St Peter takes on different guises just to mess with people. Fo the cavalry officer who said “I came here to kill Indians and I believe it is right to use any method under God’s Heaven to kill Indians” St Peter will take on the guise of Sitting Bull or Jay Silverheels For Fred Phelps any those like him St Peter will look like Freddy Mercury or Liberace in their most outrageous garb. For folks like BibleMan I’m thinking St Peter might choose Buddha, Mohammed, or maybe Gandhi. ---
