Pope John Paul II RIP

[bio-chem]

Let me see if im understanding you. You say that everyone knows the Catholic Church's stance on homosexuality, so they should stop reiterating it? Well we all know your view on Catholicism and your belief that the Bible was taken out of contex, so why do you feel the need to reiterate yourself in every post? I know that since im a heterosexual catholic, im probably the devil in your eyes, but it seems to me that you are one big fucking hypocrite. Im assuming you reiterate your views time after time becuase you feel that your beliefs, which are important to you, are being taken lightly, and also in an attempt to hopefully educate others based on your own belief system. Well do you think the Catholic church likes to talk purely for the sake of talking or are they trying to hopefully educate others based on its own belief system, which happens to be important to the catholic faith? Your the king of self-contradiction.

I addressed it to you.. stating I agree with Eggs. What are you missing?

I ain't missing anything here. Since you elected to become a "we", you need to tell the person who represented your viewpoint for you.

 

[kbm8795]

Don't mind Kbm Premier... the guys just pissy cause the Illini lost. I've considered blocking the dude, but Rock said that I should be more open minded, so I'm trying that. And its not that I mind arguing with the guy, its just that he could post a thousand posts and in the end you'd end up with exactly the same thing you came with.

You must be trying real hard for a job with Faux News. I'm not an Illini fan. But it's refreshing to see you stretching your mind a bit.

Take for instance his post to Pepper:


"You persist in assuming that the two are mutually exclusive."

Pepper wasnt saying that at all in the post. He was saying that Mino wouldnt find the person credible because he wasnt gay and was a Christian. Exclusion had nothing to do with it.

I think Pepper could type that for himself.

"That's right - it makes perfect sense to encourage only like-minded individuals to air any thoughts in a forum. And why shouldn't he defend something he believes is an innate part of his being? Do you expect his instincts to be somehow beneath yours because of your religious lifestyle choice?"

Which he would be partly right about. When someone comes into a thread concerning your religious beliefs and attacks it, then you have all rights to get a bit disturbed. People might make the mistake of thinking this thread is about homosexuality being under fire, but its not. Its about specific individuals attacking a famous Christian figure because they dont like him. Sort of the same as going to his funeral and spitting on him, but doing it in hiding so the people at the funeral cant whoop your ass.
Kbm would like you to fully believe that since you dont and shouldnt have the right to feel pissed that Mino came in here and went after the Pope. He'd pretty much like to control you lives through trying to make you feel guilty, so he can enforce him beliefs on you. He's pretty good at it too.

I can't express situations that Minotaur has experienced, but I do know people whose partners were denied access to funerals and one whose body was exhumed and moved from his own chosen grave because some distant cousin had "family" rights that the life partner couldn't access. . .is that close enough to knocking someone's life or spitting on him? If he has witnessed any event like that, and the excuse of someone else's religious beliefs was provided for the reason for that treatment, is he supposed to be bigger than the perpetrators in turning the other cheek? Or remain quiet with the knowledge that this might happen every day in his world, and none of the rest of us bother to notice?

"That is a favorite "conservative" talking point which holds very little water. If he wasn't tolerant, he would be advocating the outlawing of your religious beliefs as nothing more than a sinful "lifestyle choice." And he'd have more evidence to suggest your ability to make a different religious choice than you'd have promoting some miracle cure for his relationship orientation."

See, he is using key words here to try and group you together and dismiss what you are saying at the same time without dealing with it. First stereotyping you, then slickly misguiding you with his wordage. See, Kbm isnt tolerant... he doesnt want you to be able to believe what you do. He wants you to believe what he does, because thats what he thinks is right. He believes his priorities concerning equality and belief should be your priorities, and if you dont have room for it, then in his book you must be some kind of knuckle dragging moron, because he is the most intelligent and knowing man alive.

My...what a tangled web we weave. . .you sure go to an awful lot of effort to project what other people mean in order to not get them to believe what you do.

As to his last line, that could be taken several ways so I'm just going to leave it at that.

So what it comes down to, is that nobody is posting saying "I hate fags man!" Kbm wants you to believe thats what you're saying though, so he can properly condemn you and try to shovel mud on your opinion. What really happened in this thread was people were coming to pay respect to someone that they respected, and certain individuals came in and were not respectful. That would be like me coming in when Kbm posts a thread that his father died and saying "Who cares, that guy was so and so". Its just not called for. Thats the root of these problems, and the angst in this thread.

Wow. . .and you got so sucked into the evil "liberal" political agenda that you just couldn't resist yourself from interpreting the Eggs bible for all mankind here.

If Kbm wants to admit that, we werent the ones that came into the thread and tried to enforce out religious views on anybody, that was done by others.

It's a discussion thread. But I think I need to post a correction for Pepper. I didn't say I agreed that certain criticisms of the Pope were necessarily appropriate right now. I gave the man his props.

Regardless Premier, just do what I'm doing now and ignore the guy. It'll definitely free up some time, and theres absolutely nothing to lose by cutting off conversation with him.

Wow..and you need to make a public announcement for that, too.

 

[kbm8795]

Yeah, I'm the one who is ill-informed. The translation of the Bible to English is actually a topic that I am currently studying. The instructor is a Christian and not a homosexual, so you will dismiss him as an idiot.

Well, I owe you an apology on this one after misreading this statement. I was going to go edit if off the post, but thought you should at least see what I posted there. I called you out on nothin. . .so I guess I owe you one visit to your bible class when I'm in S.C. next time. . .

If you go visit Pepper, remember not to touch their sheep or goats. Clemson guys don't like strangers movin' in on their women. yeeehawww

I forgot he was an Upstater! Ya know I lived in Greenville for awhile...well...Greer, which we called Grrrrr....so I drove all around that Walhalla area over by them western mountains. I kinda liked that area. . .but really had a blast in Columbia. I still miss those days at Carolina.

Now that Pepper ain't a Clemson fan. . .is he? Uh-uh...not north til you smell it and west 'til ya step in it. . .

Those directions are to challenging for even the most upper level grad student from Clemson. Your best bet is to communicate with a series of MOOOOO's and BAAAAA's and you will speak the Clemson language. Of course I speak the clemson language every day after eating 3 bean burritos, but at least I wipe when im done.

 

[Pepper]

kbm, thanks and no problem

GoCocks, Gamecocks fans should not talk that way about their "daddy." Clemson OWNS the Gamecocks.

I do have a client (or a son of a client, at least) who is a walk-on QB down there doing very well.

Right now, if you can throw the ball 20+ yards you will do well. We have no QB's and no offense. The only good thing to speak of is the defense, but we will see come this fall.

God bless our Pope!

[Eggs]

I mean, he got hit by a truck once... not sure where it says he was a truck driver.

Or is that just a Muslim trying to spread disinformation among the Christians

 

[Jenny]

See I don't know how a thread about the Pope can go on to a bash thread..

 

[gococksDJS]

It's like this, if you have a box of detergent flakes (a thread about the Pope) it's completely harmless, but once you add a little gasoline (John H) you have a very combustible compund called napalm, and just like in Nam, the people of Saigon (IM.com) are in a lot of trouble.

 

[cappo5150]

His funeral will be in about 2hrs.

 

[Eggs]

Yep. I hope it goes well and no whackos try to do anything.

 

[Jenny]

I saw parts of the funeral on Good Morning America and it was very moving.. RIP papa, santo subito!
