Religion I


The Philosopher's Corner, (and its varied forums) is for those wishing to debate ideas in an
environment relatively free of personal attacks. This does NOT mean that ideas are not to be
challenged and/or heavily debated. Bringing arguments from another forum to this forum or any
other PC forum totally distorts the original message made, gives a biased slant and is
inappropriate. Standing firm and making one's case on its own merits is the intelligent choice.
Attacking and/or challenging an opinion is fair game.. Attacking someone personally is not.

Benefits: length of posts are basically unlimited, and if webforums break down we'll have a
backup forum. :)








MESSAGES IN THIS FORUM ARE PRESENTED AS NEWEST TO OLDEST.

I find it interesting that Josiah and those who post at his Christian forum are such a BIG
part of our lives. It seems many of us really can't live without them. Ya got that
backwards...they can't live without us. 90% of their posts at their "christian" forum are bashing
posters at this one.

Wonder if Ron will allow them to post at his anti-venom forum or will it be "exclusively" for
those who agree with him as theirs is.

This place has gone to the dogs, eh? Thanks for the affirmation. Anyway, you spend as much
time here as anyone. So that either makes you one or a person who likes to hang out with
them.

Ron, I book marked both of your new sites. Should be interesting reading, especially when
Josiah and his bunch find them.

Maybe this forum should be opened back up to them as long as there is no name calling or
badgering ?

RE: "Unlike thousands of Card Carrying Christian pastors and priests who have stood in front
of people just like you for 20 years or more pulling the wool over your eyes."

It just proves that they are still sinners even though they have been forgiven. It happens. None
of my Pastors has ever been found to be guilty of molesting a child even though one had an
affair with his secretary. He is out of the ministry since that sad day when he was found out.
Being an independent church with no hierarchy we can't and don't just transfer the transgressor
somewhere else. That is the big difference. Has it happened in other non-Roman Catholic
Churches? Sure it does. Does it get covered up? I'm sure that it does. We do live in a fallen
world after all.

Good morning. I have spent no time at all here talking of my own righteousness. I have none.
I readily admit that I am a fallen, hell bound creature as is every other human being since the
time of Adam. Unlike you, I admit that I need a redeemer to pay the penalty for my sin and
make me fit to enter into heaven after my death. God sent me a redeemer in the person of
Jesus Christ. I have allowed Him to enter into my heart and to be my savior and, praise God, I
have been forgiven. I am still a sinner but now I am a forgiven sinner who has had my slate
wiped clean forever and ever.

I've also started a more serious forum called The True Church Forum. My wife, a much more
gentle soul, is also involved with this one, so it should be much more respectable. May God be
with all of good will.

Aristotle said, "We see the world not as it is, but as we are."

When I see you post here, that's what I'm thinking. Your view of Christians is based on how
you are, not necessarily on how they are. Not all Christians are as small minded as you make
them out to be, but in pointing your finger at them, you show yourself to be so. Not all fail to
bear glad tidings, although you generally do. Not all habitually fail in graciousness and kindness.
You do. Night after night, you crusade, not so much against something, but against your
perception of it. And, in so doing, you unveil yourself. More than you probably realize or
would like to think you do.

Having a little fun with the SnakePit crew at one of my new forums, AntiVenom.

Let me know what you think -- and if you want to join in. --RonB

The Mod's Response: Ron, LOL, you stinker!! That was a pretty good idea. The best
anti-venom against haters is truly the word of God.. --Kim
