Iamon lyme: I left watching the Christian Channels in the UK for the same reason Iamon. It's all they want your money. They are even starting to use Glenn Beck style educating.. just a few pens and a white board though.

With lovely scenes of Flames/Jerusalem/the cross all to show they are genuine.

Their jewellery is.

mckinley: I'm now starting to understand what (V) means when he says he wants nothing to do with organized religion. I believe what he is refering to is what are called the gnostic gospels.

This takes me back to over 40 years ago, when I lived in a town that went nuts over any new age fad... I'm not kidding, incense and crystals, drugs for "expanding the mind", but in reality served more to "expend the mind". I saw first hand what happened to some of those folks, and it wasn't pretty. I could go on and on about some of the cults there. The moonies were on a roll, signing up people left and right. My wife and I went to one of their meetings, and it didn't take long for us to figure out what was really going on. Shortly after the meeting started the moonies started pressuring people into signing contracts. They had pictures on the wall of Jesus and Buda and other pictures representing other religions... we left when their salesmen started passing out the contracts.

Anyway, I think what (V) is talking about are gospels that either have little or no validity, or are invented imitations based on how the four gospels you already know about appear to be written. There is even a gospel of judas... that was my first clue that something wasn't right. The Gospel of Judas has been called an "authentic fabrication", because it has some of the earmarks of a regular gospel.

mckinley: Google the gospel of Thomas. The text is all there.

The sense that Putin came out the meeting with more than Obama was enhanced by a comment from a Russian diplomat. Asked if the meeting was important for the Russians, the Russian diplomat said: "Yes, but even more for the Americans."

Putin has just come out of an election but Obama is facing one, making the US president the more vulnerable of the two. Syria is not yet an election issue but if television keeps showing footage of widespread killing in the country, it could easily become one.

John McCain, the Republican senator who was a presidential candidate in 2008, was dismissive of the joint statement by Obama and Putin. "I think it was the kind of statement you usually hear when there is no concrete agreement."

McCain called on Monday for US intervention by creating a safe haven for the rebels and to supply them with arms. He said on CNN it was an "unfair fight", noting reports of alleged supplies from Russia and Iran to the Syrian government.

The White House so far has shown an unwillingness for military intervention comparable to Libya last year and it had been hoping Putin might have helped in peacefully easing Assad from power.

Instead, Obama's failure to win over Putin leaves Syria facing the prospect of increasing violence.

>>>>>>>> Putin doesn't think much of Romney, some of the talks to try and save lives in that civil war can't happen now.

... Obama could do a Blair, and work afterwards on the problem... as a known face.

Vikings: Cheers, I might be able to find out what all the fuss is about now.

MissDelish: [ ah so :) thanks, under-con-stumble now. ]

ah, you will come...

Disclaimer: Any of my nice friends on BK, if they are liberals, you are exempt from the previous statements as they don't apply to friends and genuinely nice people.

That's how many of my twitter friends talk. One has argued in front of the Supreme Court and wrote the definitive brief against child molesters (his work is now the standard for all cases against child molesters). He holds no punches.

Why talk this way to liberals? Because they are dishonest idiots and they don't deserve to be taken seriously. I actually mean this.

I'm speaking mostly about the liberal leadership but there are plenty of liberal lemmings where the shoe definitely fits.

Don't get me wrong; I do want to reach across the isle - and head butt a couple of stupid liberals.

Most liberals get ticked because I don't listen to their ideas and take them seriously. Why should I when your ideas are stupid?

Iamon lyme: exactly

"I am a Conservative: No one bores me like an atheist who wants to talk about not believing in God"

"I am a Conservative: The real peace sign is the crosshairs in an American rifle sight."

"I am a Conservative: If you are such a loser that you can't come up with an ID to vote, I don't want you voting at all."

Artful Dodger: []_ [[]] []_

"Nature's Most Irritating Mistake". So, it's nature's fault is it? Well, at least it's not Bush's fault so I guess I can live with that. But seeing as how I don't believe in evolution, then why would a loving and caring God create them? LOL

( forgive me Lord, I couldn't resist the temptation )

"I’m not particularly sensitive to others’ feelings, particularly when those others are whiny wusses."

"Liberalism is, in short, merely a system that uses the amelioration of the negative consequences of its vassal political constituencies’ choices through the transfer of money from productive people as a means to solidify friendly voting blocs."

"Welcome to the Democrat Party, a political party devoted entirely to the idea of stealing from its opponents to pay off the losers who vote for it."

I am a Conservative: I have issues with progressives. Issue No. 1: They're morons. #Caring

Iamon lyme: I'll ask my shrink next time I see her if this could all be a dream. Except for the fact that on Twitter I have a ton of "friends" that sound just like me and I sound just like them. and some are girls! We sound a like cuz we all make sense as opposed to the nonsense made by the liberals.

BTW, I just bought this guy's second book and the first one was a doozie. I'll post a few excerpts from the first book.

first book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0089C6FGE/ref=kinw_myk_ro_title

Artful Dodger: [ And also they are under the mistaken notion that I'm one of a kind! ]

Oh pshaw! In todays relativistic world who's to say that two guys cannot be one of a kind?

hmmmm... that sounded like something you would say. Sounds like something I would say too.


hmmmmmm....

Iamon lyme: I know guys like that!

Artful Dodger: [ I used the word "ignorant" freely. But only as a descriptor. ]

Oh, well, that's different. Using ignorant as a descriptor is always an appropriate utilization of that word... or could be, if I knew what a descriptor was.

Have you heard of Amos and Ig? Of course not, because I just now made them up... they are inventions of my mind, and only (V) can tell you that it sounds almost exactly like something he's heard before.

Anywho, Amos was always telling Ig that he didn't know what he was talking about, and then Ig would shoot back that Amos was a spiteful no-nothing [epletive] polecat. Fact is, neither Ig nor Amos knew what he was talking about.

Iamon lyme: Well I guess for some it's difficult to think that two conservatives could hold to many of the same views. And also they are under the mistaken notion that I'm one of a kind!

Artful Dodger: [ You shouldn't answer my questions ]

oops, I forgot to switch over to your identity. Sorry about that... ??



Hey, wait a sec, hold the phone... why am I appologizing to myself?

rod03801: This guy is an atheist and doesn't have much time for religion. He says it straight. I liked him long before I knew his view on religion and I still like him. I wish others had his straight forward talk regarding Islam!

Artful Dodger: GREAT link. Someone who says what so many are thinking. Yes, yes, we all know they are the extreme end of the religion. Let's get that out of the way. But the world for some reason is feeling the need to CATER and BOW to these extremist freaks. I don't get it. It's like in America the FREAKS who riot after sporting events. And vandalize INNOCENT peoples' belongings. I don't see much of a difference. THUGS.

Yeah!

Iamon lyme: You shouldn't answer my questions cuz now Emma thinks she has proof you're me or I'm you. As if a student of the Bible wouldn't know what I meant.

MissDelish: I made the word up ;) See pharisaic

(V): It was president Putin.

Why does God.tv need four million? True believers would do the lottery and give.

Especially the nice rolex the presenter is wearing from Jerusalem.

Iamon lyme: So you can't be bothered to see, ok. I know it won't support your case so that's fine.

Iamon lyme: Yes... it's goofy!!

Iamon lyme: ah so :) thanks, under-con-stumble now.

MissDelish: [ What is Pharicidic? ]

Pharisee. He was a religious zealot.

Artful Dodger: [ They speak fluent insult. ]

They also speak fluent double speak. When they say ignorant they want us to believe it's meant as a point in fact. But when we say it they believe it's meant as an insult.

By the way, I wasn't the first to cast stones. I never call anyone ignorant unless that word is first directed toward me. So the complaint is less than worthless... it is hypocritical for anyone to complain that someone is tossing the very same word they use back to them.

I have looked everywhere. What is Pharicidic?

Artful Dodger: Not Paul. He was a Pharicidic Jew ....thats it.

dealing with the far left.....

Bwild: Without insults, it's not politics. Especially true when dealing with the far left. They speak fluent insult.

Bwild: Not Paul. He was a Pharicidic Jew turned Christian.

Artful Dodger: The humor is seasoning......lol right.....

Artful Dodger: your talkin Paul? Paul was Saul and pagan I think.
But I understand belief.I have my own beliefs..you have yours..LL has his..so on. Its what makes our lives so interesting.

Bwild: I never disquise my insults with humor. The humor is seasoning.

Bwild: It's not blind faith. It's much more but what we view as evidence others reject. An atheist (former) who rejected the argumets for the Christian faith came to be a believer and began using the same arguments he once rejected. It's a matter of belief and perspective and proper interpretation.

(V): [ I do when you CAN'T REMEMBER THE DETAILS. ]

You need a detailed (all encompassing) description (explanation) of what a lame (limping) duck (quack) presidency means (entails) ? (question mark)

When someone has been re-elected (for a second term [four years] as president [executive leader] ), it means they can't (are not allowed to) run (campaign) for president (executive leader) again (repeating previous action) after the next (following) 4 (1, 2, 3, 4) more (in addition to the previous) years has expired (croaked) . (period, end of sentence)

Übergeek 바둑이: well there you have it. A little soft shoe and ropeadope,mixed generously with insults disguised as humour. But the fact remains...there is no actual proof.
It's all blind faith.

6 trillion is $54,000.00 per househouse based on the number of heads of househouse in 2010

(V): Oh he spent much more than 6 trillion. He spent so much that he had to borrow that much and it won't be paid back for generations. What matters it that it put the country in financial jeopardy. And as I said much was a waste.

(V): [Iamon lyme: So that's where the 'knickers in twist' troll got to!! Sorry.. someone tried to eradicate the Hogs Father... caused chaos ]
