I'd believe anything that God tells me to believe (through the Bible). Even if there was no promised eternal life. I kinda appreciate the fact that I was created.

Bravo. Thats gotta be the best line of hound dog crap you've typed yet.
lol!! Linda, do you think thats a pure democratic point of view? I know how to stop the 'pain' but I wont do it and just address it when its absolutely necessary? hahahaha!!!
You added another insult but didn't answer my previous question. So, I'll repeat it.
It's generally considered unkind to make fun of someone's religious beliefs. Frankly, I have difficulty understanding you, neroter. At times you make good sense and then there are times that your remarks are irrational. In addition, you have a personal vendetta against me that I don't understand since I have only known you as neroter for a short period of time. For example you make remarks about me when I'm not even involved in the thread or the conversation. So, to sum up, you are to me a pain in the ass that I would rather not deal with. But since I don't use ignore, I'll respond when I think it's necessary. When I asked you not to address me, it was just an attempt to improve the civility here without having to go off topic repeatedly to answer an asinine remark from you.
Question....
Have I offended you personally that you can tell me about? I need to understand your anger in order to help you out.

Nero, it's pretty corny when instead of answering a question, you have to call Helen names for no reason. What's up with you?
Helen, you offend people that are too lazy to come up with their own answers to things - makes them look stupid.

I'm taking Kiara's place temporarily, I guess. Hell, I don't even know neroter and she thinks I'm her worst enemy.

Oh that explains why cheryl was covering your a$$ earlier today. ..... Kiara's missing ......and the 'defenders' are out of order because of that.
You started up on me...I respond.....then cheryl blames me for responding to you....rather than your normal tag-a-long
--------------
Helen - I believe neroter would pay you respect IF you tried doing the same to her. For some reason you don't see how you bring these responses on yourself...by what YOU say and how YOU say it to others. Are you like clinton in his new book - wanting to play the role of victim rather than taking responsibility for your own actions?
Take a couple more aspirins.....you'll be just fine.

Spinning! Spinning!!
NTS, you are recording all this are you not? Otherwise, I'm voting somebody else in as monitor....lol...
haha.. sorry kids, have to depart. Linda, aintcha' so glad I got to babysit with the muppets today while you got to address some serious issues?
Helen, you really should get over it, and over yourself - and move on to more interesting conversation. You're so $#%$$# boring...all about me, me, me: "Answer my question adult where do babies come from?"
"I am offended." "Adresss me, dont address me." Make up your mind. You act like a little kid gets so old fast.

Thanks Linda, posting at the same time were we. But that is very true about respect. It's a two-way street. You know, I think the very 1st post I ever made here she jumped all me over looking for a fight, and she didnt even know me then!
Oh well. Maybe some other things will come up besides personal attacks. I will be back in the am to read up on all you good peoples posts! (Some of its interesting anyway )
ed to spelling.

Nero's not really the type Helen would want to get to know, so I doubt that'll happen. Unless of course, she gives her an apology for her ultra-bizarre behaviour.
posted on July 1, 2004 09:03:43 AM newbecause nobody knows what life would be like if religion wasn't a factor.
I can easily guess just what it would be like....just from looking at the moral decline/decay in America as interest/belief in religions has decreased.
The people bring up their children so badly that it is all too obvious to the teachers that they are dealing with wild animals. All disclipine appears gone, the students are unmanageble, insolent and extreme. Citizens hesitate to go out at night for fear of crime. The parents are hypocrites, adulterers (Clinton ?), drunkards. Vice of all sorts is committed without shame, the coarsest most indecent sins have become virtues. Who regards even common whoredom as a sin anymore ? Profanity is universal regardless of creed. This has all been caused by a loss of traditional values and godlessness.
All observations from the late 1500s Europe. A more religious society you'll never see -- every one and all christian to a man.
