crowTrobot 2 Posted December 6, 2007 Author Share Posted December 6, 2007 posts are gone in my post history so it was apparently deleted. did somebody get out of line? Link to post Share on other sites
ShakeZuma 585 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 had to have been deleted by accident, I was only on the 3rd page and didn't see anything bad there, but even if something bad had been posted, they would have just deleted that. can't imagine that the whole thread would be deleted just for the discussion.or maybe the mods killed jesus and this is their coverup.

Ouch-8s 4 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 it didn't seem to be out of line; i had read up to (i think) the last post before it disappeared, so unless it went all Brick Tamland style on the forum, it must have been an accident. Link to post Share on other sites

Balloon guy 158 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 posts are gone in my post history so it was apparently deleted. did somebody get out of line?So the thread is gone and our post history is gone.I guess we'll just to have to believe through faith that there really was a thread, since there is no proof except for the subjective beliefs of a few.

crowTrobot 2 Posted December 7, 2007 Author Share Posted December 7, 2007 actually, minus the "decades after" part, I think that last part is exactly what it wasagain i don't see the parallel. nobody has contradicted anyone else about major details of what was in the thread, there is no reason to think anyone who claims the thread existed has ulterior motives for doing so, and (as far as i know) everyone who claims it existed is available for cross-examination : ) Link to post Share on other sites
Loismustdie 0 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 I love how, as a society we are smart enough to give murder different levels, and punish accordingly, we are smart enough to basically give things levels of leeway. Abortion, speeding tickets, extra- marital affairs, etc. We can go, "Say, that's not that bad. You deserve X." But, as soon as you read a biblical passage, accounted for in different biblical spots, by 2 different authors, and one of those authors doesn't remember or incorrectly accounts for, say, where a person was ****ing standing, you guys are screaming "Liars!!" Honestly, God is somewhere laughing his butt off daily at the stupidity of your supposed brilliance. Nobody more than God knows that you just can't buy that type of entertainment. If you think about it, and you put yourself in a creators shoes, how much fun is this? The constant denials must crack him up to no end. Now, think about the end, judgement day. There you are, "But, God, 2 of the authors had some details incorrect." God thinks for a second- not because he needs time, it's for effect. Watching us for so long he knows the importance of a good sized hesitation. He pulls at his beard, then speaks: "My son, if 2 or 3 observe another making spaghetti, and 100 years later one remembers a black pot and one remembers a blue pot, and the 3rd is a blind man, but he sure knows what spaghetti tastes like, wouldn't it be reasonable to assume that when they told the story of the great spaghetti day, that it was a true story?" You: "Well, sure, but.." God just shakes his head- this actually makes him sad. You are the 620,000th person he has spoken to today that is clearly quite smart, well read, much knowledge, but still, dumb as a box of rocks. He would like to blame himself, he really would, but it's not like he didn't leave you with all of the necessary tools. He did all he could, short of come into your bedroom shouting, "I am Oz, the great and terrible!" Trapdoor opens, and eternity of fire commences. Speaking of Oz, that Tin Man show on Sci- fi is pretty cool so far. I DVRed it and watched the first 2 hours so far. 2 thumbs up. Link to post Share on other sites

Last I checked, if you don't accept Jesus Christ as your savior, he sends you to hell. No degrees of guilt; no varying levels. Its the biggest reason I hate the christian concept of god. He's an asshole. Link to post Share on other sites
