God does not exist

[WileOut]

Rage Wizard, you do know that 75% of America are Christians right? You also know that America was founded by an even higher percentage of Christians? So why has it not gone bad yet according to your theory? Why were things great in 1900 when there was an even higher percentage of Christians in America?

[MrX]

Swede, a typo is mixing up one letter for another that are close together on the keyboard. A typo is not spelling a word with the word "great" instead of "grate". You didn't mix up the 'a' and 't' or the 't' and 'e' ... you spelled the word like a 2nd grader would because you truly do not know how to spell. You are not alone, Swede. Doesn't make it any less funny, however ...

Oh for God's sake (keeping it on-topic), you're being downright silly about this "greatful" thing. Mistakenly writing a word's homophone is most certainly a typo, and a pretty common one at that.

By SBR grammar standards, it's above par.

[WileOut]

Being a Christian is not at all about not being unaccountable. You have it completely wrong. Barking up the wrong tree. In fact its about being even more accountable than a non-Christian.

[moneyline]

I suppose typing "happyness" is a typo as well? And maybe even using "your" when saying "You're wrong"? A typo is when your fingers hit the wrong keys, not when they hit the keys you wanted them to (and you just don't have any idea how to spell).

I do, however, agree it is par for the course -- for the same reason newspapers write at a 7th grade level so people like Swede are able to read them.

[RageWizard]

Our "species", as you call it, will always be fatally flawed and found wanting. The pursuit of perfection always results in failure and for every problem humans believe they have solved, three take its place.

If this is all there is, Rage, you've been woefully shortchanged.

I disagree dude, it is our nature to find stuff out, handing the entire thing over to a entity that may or may not be there or even care is risky if you ask me. It would be much more prudent to take care of business ourselves while we know we are alive and then when we go down for the dirt nap if there is something else then that is the bonus round. I'm not saying that I don't believe that there isn't a creator or whatever, I'm just saying that whatever it is, it supplied a couple of ingredients namely Hydrogen, and gravity. Then it let it go and walked away to let it be what it is going to be.

[pavyracer]

Gotcha, thanks for the clarification. Truth be told, God didn't help his original Son escape His demise at the cross either. Does this prove indifference or non-existence? Rhetorical question.

HedgeHog,

These are all my responses to this thread I started last night. Name me one instance I talked about religion in this thread and not comedy. We have too many religious zealots reading this thread.

If he was man enough God would have let Hamilton win the HR derby. I am still waiting for someone to prove me wrong.

This thread started as a response to God's indifference (like stealing bases on fielder's indifference in baseball) of not helping his prodigal son win the HR derby. It has veered off and went stray like a Patriot missile trying to hit a scud missile.

Yes, but I do know how to spell grateful...I just messed up. AGAIN, even if I couldn't spell to save my life, that's what spell check is for. It cannot save you from not knowing your grammar. You STILL have not explained to me how a grown man can not know what oxymoron means...but I'm sure you won't, because that's your style.

As far as proving things, you are one of three main female posters on this site (perhaps there are 4 or 5), there are MANY more men here and you post pic after pic and post after post begging for their attention ... not hard to prove. It is all right there for anyone to see ...

I fail to see how I beg for attention. More men here beg for attention than women. Just because I happen to be one of the few females here and I get attention based on that, that doesn't mean I'm begging for it. I can change my pics as much as I want. You change yours all the time. Who cares? At least I'm comfortable enough with myself to show my face.

Your tats -- you're the one who wrote you had one on your ass. But I'm wrong about all of the locations? R-ight ...

Yeah, I started a thread asking posters about their tattoos. I like hearing about them. They each have a little story. Yup, one of them is on my ass. Did I post a picture of it? Nope. Just said where it was...like the rest of the posters in the thread did. I did not, however, say I had one on my inner thigh...because I don't. Hone your stalker skills, son...they're getting rusty.

And now for the funniest part of all. You write you love the way you look and anybody who says you are full of yourself does not matter. You, however, think that anyone who says you are good looking does matter. And anybody who supports your viewpoints on this site, you say you respect and like.

That's not entirely true. I don't respect everyone on here that has said they think I'm hot. Everyone is entitled to their opinion on my looks. I could care less. It's just plain good manners to appreciate and accept compliments. I do not, however, have any respect for people who make false assumptions about who I am as a person and state them as fact. Since the people who do this usually don't know me, their opinions about me as a person mean nothing. As for people I don't know that think I am a good person, what can I say? They're right. Sure, I get along better with the people I share similar views with. Doesn't everyone? There are few people in the world that I respect as much as Sportsgirl. Just this past week we were on opposite side of the same debate. We don't respect each other any less for it, because we were respectful of each other while arguing our cases.

(in summary, you like everyone who compliments you ... anyone who criticizes you knows nothing ... sound about right, Swedey?)

Nope. Couldn't be more wrong.

As fun as it has been getting you all riled up and reveling in your obsession with me and my life, I'm off to the second job now. Enjoy your hateful, lonely little existence.

Thank you, but I don't think he knows what that word means.

I may be wrong on this one. I was always under the impression that a typo was defined as Merriam-Webster has it:

"an error (as of spelling) in typed or typeset material"

However, looking around I see a lot of definitions that specify that it must be due to a "mechanical failure" which would support your argument.

Either way, I think it's a more forgivable misspelling than all of the "there their they're" business.

[moneyline]

Swede now likes you 'x' because you defended her.

(hope neither of your jobs involve writing or typing, Swede ... due to your lack of a college education, however, I doubt they do -- unless you count taking orders from a menu, writing ...)

And 'x', I understand your point. The most annoying is the "definately" crowd. Makes me cringe every time I see it ...

Actually, my job involves quite a bit of writting and I make more money than most people I know with a degree.

And I actually already liked Mr. X. But yeah, I like people who make sense. Sue me.

[RageWizard]

Correct english and spelling are over rated anyways. As long as it isn't too bad and people can get your point, then it is O.K.

[moneyline]

I hope nobody important actually reads your "writting" ... your attention to detail is alarming (or is it your ignorance) -- no matter. They both read the same way.

I'm not going to sue someone who didn't even go to college and who needs to work two jobs just to keep her head above water. Not worth my trouble, even as an attorney.

Now go to work.

(oh, just for giggles, did you even graduate high school, Swede?)

[Dazzez]

I do, however, agree it is par for the course -- for the same reason newspapers write at a 7th grade level so people like Swede are able to read them.

What the hell is wrong you? Why would you act like this towards another human being?

You're obviously an intelligent, well-educated person but for some reason clearly feel an overwhelming desire to attempt to bring others down.

Defending your beliefs is one thing, but acting as you have on this forum is nothing short of idiotically immature, horrifically evil, and exceedingly ugly. I don't know how you behave in real life, but on this forum you've come off like an enormous fucking asshole.

My advice: grow up, take a long hard look at yourself, and figure out why putting others down seems to lift you up so much.

[BuddyBear]

If i drive home tonight and make it safely, then Thank God he got me home.

If I drive home tonight and get an accident but am okay, then Thank God he was with me.

If I drive home tonight and get an accident and die, then it was God's will and the other nonsense about how "God picks his favorites first...." and "this is all part of God's design" and "God works in mysterious ways..."

God is for ignorant, uneducated, and religious people...in other words, the majority of the United States.

[MrX]

And 'x', I understand your point. The most annoying is the "definately" crowd. Makes me cringe every time I see it ...

My biggest cringe-inducer. The total misuse of "literally" (usually by sports commentators). e.g. "That's number 28. Josh Hamilton is literally on fire!"

Kills me. I hear it multiple time a day.

[moneyline]

Dazzez, I cannot stand narcissists. Swede is one. Her pursuit of acceptance and compliments on this site, designed primarily for sports, bothers me. So I keep her in her place whenever I deem it necessary.

Keep defending her. She really likes that.

[donjuan]

Fixed.

[RageWizard]

If they mixed it up a little and used "actually" every once in a while would that help?

[moneyline]

That's a good one, 'x'. I also like people who "do 360's" and, in baseball, telling me the batter just hit a "grand slam home run."

[MrX]

Personally, I've always been a little more troubled by people who don't crave acceptance, especially those who seem to want the opposite.

[MrX]

No.

But what would help is to just once hear a commentator proclaim "Josh Hamilton is figuratively on fire!"

[moneyline]

If someone keeps saying they don't seek it, that is also annoying. Swede covers both bases, unfortunately. She so obviously seeks acceptance and attention and then goes out of her way to say she is not seeking either.

A double whammy, really ...

[Panic]

Thinking shrimp alfredo for dinner.

I don't think she'd go out of her way to say that if she didn't have people jumping down her throat about it. I'd get defensive, too.

I'm pretty sure the vast majority of us crave acceptance and friendly attention. It's kinda sociopathic not to. We all go about it in different ways.

I think a lot of the resentment towards Swede has to do with how successful she is at getting attention here. Let's face it, in the SBR forum the deck is very much stacked in favor of a cute girl.

[MrX]

Sorry about the thread hijack.

Back on topic, can someone explain to me how it was some great sacrifice for God's son to die on the cross? I mean, he ends up back in heaven, right?

[tressel4]

Doesn't it occur to you that each ethnic group has their own GOD? How do you pick whose right, your personal skin color?

[moneyline]

'X', the sacrifice is great for many reasons. Jesus, while on earth, felt things as a man feels them. He was tortured and suffered a death that would be unimaginable to most. What makes it even more amazing, however, is that He had the ability to stop the suffering at the hands of His creation at any time, but knew if He did He would, in effect, be dooming us to our own sins.

Imagine someone weaker than you slowly physically torturing you and, while you have the ability to stop it at any point, you endure it all because it will benefit those you love the most. That is a sacrifice, regardless of the fact you know you will be going to a better place once it is all over.

God, as Jesus' father, watched His son suffer terribly. If a father here on earth would suffer watching his son being flayed alive, do you not think God felt the same pain watching His son being flayed?

It was an amazing sacrifice. And one that many do not seem to appreciate, at their own peril, both on this earth and for what awaits upon death.

[moneyline]

'X', the resentment of Swede goes to the fact she is an attention whore. Robyn is a pretty girl on this site, but she does not have the self-esteem issues Swede does and, therefore, does not bombard this site with information about her ass and pictures of herself in every conceivable position.

There is a difference between the two. One is an insecure little girl. The other is a
confident woman.

[Dark Horse]

Never trust religious people who can't laugh at themselves.

It was a baseball thread.

[EaglesPhan36]

You decide:

My girl's father got into a motorcycle accident last Friday. An 18-wheeler ran a red light and plowed into him on his bike. He wasn't wearing a helmet and his most significant injuries wound up being a shattered wrist and leg. Miracle? Me thinks so.

[Willie Bee]

You have to understand how interpretations work.

Oh, trust me, I understand fully how interpretations work. My question to you is which interpretation is correct? Or is any interpretation correct? Or are they all wrong, except for yours naturally?

What about the Corinthians verse, is that also just dealing with a husband protecting his wife?

How about this one, another that should just be taken to mean the husband protects the wife?

Timothy 2:11 - - - A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent.

Each have their own personality, it'd be boring if they were exactly the same. And I do believe Robyn made mention of having a "hotdog cart" at one point..
