So I have a tough decision to make. It must be God week around here.

[Ronaldo McDonald]

It's .02, gotdammit! Or do you want to just give it your 20 cents?


Now why don't you just make like a tree, and get outta here!!

hey, bag, it's called inflation.

[peewee's lovechild]

shocker....never would have guessed what side of the fence you are on....

if at first you dont agree, just call them re ed right off the bat.

I never called Chalupa a re .

You however, I called out as a re for your re ed analogy.

I never said Chalupa but that's a fine job of making an assumption when nobody asked you to make one. You need to listen to the short bus driver a little more when he tells you to sit down and shut up.

If anyone needs to listen its you. You went off without even bothering to read the entire thread. Then peppered your posts with idiotic analogies.

[Blake]

You completely fail to pay attention. Typical thumper at ude. Glad you've read me enough to make such a well thought opinion. You are so far off on what you think you know about me its not ever funny.

I aint a thumper and so far, I dont care to know you. I only know what you posted so far.

Fact is, in an effort to not offend any Catholics here, I will use the word 'dislike' when I say I dislike the Catholic religion.

Yet when my step daughter came along and asked if she could go on something called an acts retreat with a catholic friend a while back, I didn't like it, but we let her go without even blinking. If you do your job as a parent in teaching core values, then you should have no problem trusting your kid when he/she walks out that front door. Trust me, dude.....the tighter the grip you try to put on that kid, the more she tries to fight that grip. If she aint breaking the law, sometimes you just gotta let go and let her make her own way.

[JoeChalupa]

I've been called much worse things than "re ed" and I'm Catholic and I'm well aware of the dislike by many of the Catholic Church and that doesn't bother me either. I never introduce myself as "Hi, I'm Jose and I'm Catholic." But I won't deny it if asked, ever.
I have enough confidence in my kids not to worry about something as trivial as a retreat. But I do understand why some would have a concern.

I concur.

beh. fine. I read the entire thread and it was 8 pages of the same thing mixed in with some Bible burning humor. I fail to see where your opinion changed from page 1 to page 8.
Sure, you're letting her go but you still would rather handcuff her to the dining room table than let her attend the horrors of a church camp.

All I know is that when my children were born I got down and thanked God for the beauty of life. Carry on.

When my child was born, I was glad that we evolved the way we have.

It's a testament to our species' strenght and adaptability.

That was how the conversation went.

Quit making an ass out of yourself.

[peewee's lovechild]

So believing in theories doesn't make someone crazy, does it?

Did I say that?

God damn, you're dumber than Blake.

Someone posted a quote that said that babies are born with no idea who god is, and Chopper posted his own quote that said something to the effect that "show me where this guy had conversations with infants."

I then posted that infants are born with Tabula Rasa, and then you posted that it was a theory and then I posted that god is a theory . . . . . where was anything posted about believing in theories makes someone crazy.

Look, I know what you're doing.

You're trying to defend whatever you believe in and trying to make me look like a about it.

But, it's not working.

No one called you "re ed" JC.

ehhh.....

dude, if you read c a r e f u l l y, instead of posting the mixed up quotes....it's pretty clear that I knew you were referring to me when you said re ......especially when you called my posts re ed not once but twice.

Now let it go before you get hurt. It's not too late.

[Blake]

No one called you "re ed" JC.

bingo.

sheez.

.....and trying to make me look like a about it.

Id say youre doing a good enough job on your own without his help

Re , go back and see that you quoted my retort to JC's post when you made your "shocker" statement.

Try again...I simply asked a question. Does believing in theories make someone crazy? I didn't acuse you of thinking anyone is crazy, and I never said you stated that. I just asked.


The point I'm making is that everyone, whether they want to admit it or not, believes in something that does not have physical evidence to exist. Why is it then, when someone believes in a God that does not have physical evidence of existence, it's a lack of common sense or knowledge that guides them to that belief?

[peewee's lovechild]

bingo.

sheez.

My original post in the previous page:

I never called Chalupa a re .

You however, I called out as a re for your re ed analogy.

ing aye, all I said was that babies are born with Tabula Rasa.

If you want to get into a theological discussion, then by all means, do it.

But, don't bring it in when all I'm saying is that babies are born with no previous knowledge whatsoever.

Do you know what Tabula Rasa is??
Do you understand that concept?

However, you want a theological discussion . . . let's do it.

Start a new thread or join in the thread in the Politics Forum where Angel_Luv said that Obama might indeed be the Anti-Christ.

Tabula Rasa...clean slate, or blank slate. Babies are born with no knowledge.

But this is a theory that has no evidence to support it, and no means by which to prove it's legitimacy. BUT....people believe it, and are not ridiculed for doing so.
