Multiple religions, who is right?

“Nigal's got me confused with his best buddy.”

“i was watching a special the other day, and they were comparing the patron saints of catholicism to the multiple gods of paganism. interesting analogy. they werent saying there was a direct correlation, just that having a patron saint of this that and the other fulfilled a similiar need of early pagans to have a god of this that or the other.”

“Bible Belt missionaries set out on a 'war for souls' in Iraq

American Christian missionaries have declared a "war for souls" in Iraq, telling supporters that the formal end of the US-led occupation next June will close an historic "window of opportunity".

Organising in secrecy, and emphasising their humanitarian aid work, Christian groups are pouring into the country, which is 97 per cent Muslim, bearing Arabic Bibles, videos and religious tracts designed to "save" Muslims from their "false" religion.

The International Mission Board, the missionary arm of the Southern Baptists, is one of those leading the charge.

John Brady, the IMB's head for the Middle East and North Africa, this month appealed to the 16 million members of his church, the largest Protestant denomination in America.

"Southern Baptists have prayed for years that Iraq would somehow be opened to the gospel," his appeal began. That "open door" for Christians may soon close.

"Southern Baptists must understand that there is a war for souls under way in Iraq," his bulletin added, listing Islamic leaders and "pseudo-Christian" groups also flooding Iraq as his chief rivals.

The missionaries are mainly evangelicals who reject talk of Muslims and Christians worshipping the same God.

Jerry Vines, former head of the Southern Baptist Convention, has described the Prophet Mohammed as a "demon-obsessed paedophile". Franklin Graham, son of Billy Graham and the head of Samaritan's Purse, a big donor to Iraq, has described Islam as a "very evil and wicked religion".”

“Troll..........!!!

What else will knucklehead bring our way? lol”

“That sounds like pouring gasoline on a fire. Do you like your missionaries well done or medium rare?”

““We likes ‘em raw and rrrrrigglin’! Ya can keep your filthy chips!”

-Smegal”

“What else will knucklehead bring our way.... It was an email joke that most folks with a math background enjoy. It had a religous slant and the thread of mine that turned into an abortion rant made me think of it. How does posting an obvious joke equal being a troll?”

“knucklehead - As President of the Troll Anti-defamation League, I find your defensive attitude quite offensive.

Embrace your inner troll. Revel in your trollness. It is nothing to be ashamed of, rather it is a badge of honor.

Behold thou art made whole, go and troll much more.”

“ahhh hes one of your children, is he, lynn?”

“I've tried the clueless newbie looking for gear advice routine myself but the "embibers and drunkards" comment was pure genius.”

“His Trolliness has spoken.”

“I feel somehow vindicated and as John Wesley said, "Strangely warmed".

Since I took the religous tack, I had to put a religous figure in there.

No more defensiveness here, the truth has set me free!”

“Uhh, wait a minute, did Violin get me to admit to something? I feel like I've just been on Dr. Phil and said something to someone in confidence will thousands watch.”

“You'll have to sign up for our competition knucklehead. There are prizes every month and the troll of the year gets $100.”

“I've been around enough to know not to click one of your links. What do I look like, a knucklehead?”

“I didn't think you were really a newbie and I knew you were trolling.

Have a nice day!”

“How quickly did you know? You're welcome to privately email if you know who I am.”

“I suspected on your first post but knew by your third. I'd only be guessing who you truly are.”

“Fair enough.”

“Looking back I did go into the hiking with strangers thing a bit quick.”

“Actually they have a pretty good football team. I know you've heard of "The Fighting Elgina"....


Here's The Rest Of The Story for Marvin's exothermic/endothermic problem:

"So which is it? If we accept the postulate given by Ms. Therese Banyan during my freshman year, "That it will be a cold night in hell before I go out with you," and take into account the fact that I still have not succeeded in having a relationship with her, the second case cannot be true. Therefore, hell is exothermic."



So who is right, religion-wise? I think the truth lies somewhere between the theories of these two guys...

“Maybe its bitpusher.....

Knuck-le-head
bit-push-er”

“Gee, I dont know about all of this...



but Davy Crockett addressed the subject of Hell.....



When he left Tennessee, he said, "You can all go to hell, I am going to Texas"....



Of course the Alamo wasnt what he thought it would be. All in all, I think knucklehead probably was a lot like ole Davy.”

“there is no spoon....”

“People are perfectly entitled to their culture. But respect for a person's right to his own beliefs is often confused with thinking that the actual beliefs need to be respected, and this is a big mistake. Knucklehead can believe in hell all he (she?) likes - he/she can even believe in god for all I care - and although I will always defend his/her right to believe such nonsense, this does not mean I have to agree.”

“That Is hell exothermic or endothermic? answer is over 10 years old because I remember reding it in the early '90s.”

“"This" just might be hell.”

“I was thinking...... If you're going to paste in a joke from 1989, ya might as well include the punchline!

<G>



(and MY imaginary friend can kick the crap outta YOUR imaginary friend!)”

“Actually, it was when you were so quick to replace your wife's Cristmas gifts with upgrades before even using them that was the clincher for me. I don't know very men that would make that mistake who are over 18 or able to speak/write in complete sentences.”

“Or that the wife got him, what, close to $1000 worth of hiking stuff for one holiday? I guess there are plenty of people with that kind of loose change floating around, but not too many of them live in South Pittsburg, TN...”

“What? I haven't replaced anything. I did mention trying an esbit instead of a dutch oven. What's wrong with that. Also, the gear didn't cost near $1000.”

“Well, I did find that a little hard to believe. But I was willing to extend the benefit of the doubt until it reached the afore-mentioned point. That was just too much.”

“What was just too much, The amount of gear for Christmas or the fact that I wouldn't share my spleen?”

“This one was it: "Actually, it was when you were so quick to replace your wife's Cristmas gifts with upgrades before even using them that was the clincher for me."




It's just a shame that a puzzle loses it's entertainment value the instant it's solved.”

“But I didn't do that. I tried to play along, I really did. I asked enough gear/methods type of questions to lead to the controversial stuff.”

“Yes grasshopper, you did well. But for some things once the mystery is gone, so is the fun.”

“It was fun while it lasted.”

“BTW, if I got it right you've got mail. If I didn't, my sincerest and humblest apologies to the person I mistakenly fingered.”

“I'll leave that last comment alone.”

“Heeheehee. It's Nigal's fault!”

“Hey, you're not supposed to be goosing anyone but G00SE...”

“what a total shocker!

now tell me who it is!!”

“I don't know. I'm actually guessing and I think I got it wrong.”

“I did get an email from Violin. I think the secret is safe with him.”

“Crap. Back to the drawing board...”

“I have emailed directly with you skullcap. It was about a year or so ago.”

“Commandment 6! Commandment 6!”

“Dude, I'm being careful not to out said person if I get it right. Assuming I get it right, of course.”

“Exactly Clueless. That is why Violin, the King of the Trolls, won't tell who I am.

skully, the topic was sandals.”
