I absolutely love that undefeatable sense of humor! No matter how dark the clouds, you guys are a CONSTANT reminder of that wonderful silver lining! Thank :yu:!leasantry:
Well, I'm glad that you can SEE that! :biggrin:
Congrats on the new peepers!
I think we should just add the below sign to the home page. When trolls see it they will know this is a troll free zone and stay out. I mean the no gun signs work great at creating gun free zones..... right?!?!
I only have one question on the subject, If God is the all powerful, all knowing, awsome being some make him out to be, why does he allow all the bad stuff in the world go on like it does????????????????????
Aren't they all - at least in the off-topics?So, this is a religion thread now? :wacko:
This would be the case, assuming the subject actually was online forum trolls or online trolling. But what the OP tries to do as is often the case with the leading titles and "grabber" headlines as Mom likes to opine, is lead you to believe their rant before you even start reading....there will always be trolls, they cannot be located, there in cyberspace, they cannot be killed, they just change names, passwords, IP adress's and whatever...
I was not going to post in on this, but what the hell, just two things there will always be trolls, they cannot be located, there in cyberspace, they cannot be killed, they just change names, passwords, IP adress's and whatever, the second thing is the church and religon deal, everyone is entitled to worship or not, whatever faith they want, personaly I only have one question on the subject, If God is the all powerful, all knowing, awsome being some make him out to be, why does he allow all the bad stuff in the world go on like it does????????????????????
Aiiight then. let's all buckle down and just make the best of this tribulation period, OK?leasantry:
Left Behind is a series of 16 best-selling novels by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins, dealing with Christian dispensationalist End Times: pretribulation, premillennial, Christian eschatological viewpoint of the end of the world

Religious belief has nothing to do with sense. Research is showing that believers and non-believers express differences in the structure of their brains. Some people may be predisposed to need to believe....
It makes no sense whatsoever that an infinite, omnipotent god would need to...

Anyway, most religions seek to show that 'god' (whatever that is in the different belief systems) relates directly to the people of the time and place where the religion originated. Later believers continue to find ways to make their religion relate to themselves and their times.

I wish it could be said that it is nice to be back.
I see the same ole in-fighting continues.
While I was away, I joined another site. It was, to put mildly, fresh air.
Their were no religious postings. No postings regarding birthin babies, or Presidents with middle names of Hussein.
No talk of driving down to the boarder, and shooting hispanics.
No talk of politics, or religion permitted.
No gay bashing.
No cut and pasts for right, or left wing sites allowed.
No Conspiracy wacko's allowed.
No flaming to or from the friends of Jesus, or any of the other God words.
Here are some of the rules from the site:
General Rules:
1. Although we have a number of other forums here, we are primarily focused on concealed carry. Threads and posts should be related to the individual forum's focus.
2. While debating and discussion is fine, we will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts or PMs. Trolling, flaming, and personal attacks are strictly prohibited. You are welcome to disagree with opinions other than your own, but flaming other members will not be allowed. If you can't figure out how to compose a post without it being confrontational or a personal attack on someone, simply bite your lip
and don't post it.
6. We do not discriminate in regards to religion, race, creed, gender, sexual preference, or national origin, nor will we tolerate, on this forum, those that do. Racial, ethnic, or religious slurs appearing in posts will be removed.
9. We have learned from bitter experience that discussions of certain subjects (politics, religion, abortion, sexual orientation, etc) often degenerate quickly. For this reason, we prohibit these subjects in our discussions. We also discourage "caliber wars" and the virtues of "open carry" topic; strongly encouraging you to take these discussions to other forums where these topics are the focus.
10. Discussion of illegal activities except in reporting the actions of others is not allowed. Discussion for the purpose of promoting these activities may subject the poster to being banned. Admission of illegal activity on your part will be removed or the poster will given the opportunity to edit their admission out of the post. Anyone quoting or referencing deleted or edited posts will have their posts edited/removed as well. In short, DO NOT use this forum to admit to breaking the law.
IMO.
Perhaps this could be a better site if some, if not all of these rules were incorporated into this site.
Uh, okay ... perhaps ...And some peoples god is research and science. They believe science because their brain needs to believe science is true. Also perhaps some people have a need NOT to believe in God because a belief would bring them face to face with a life style that is not consistent with a God and his standards. But as we have said before opinions is two things we all have.

It just doesn't work with RSP, no matter the rules. That's why alot of sites prohibit it entirely.Perhaps this could be a better site if some, if not all of these rules were incorporated into this site.
They don't really have an answer. They'll tell you "you just need to have faith" while churches around the world take in billions of dollars. Religions are the biggest scams of all time. It's always been about money and politics. It's been like that long before Christ. It was even a requirement that a fee had to be paid before anyone could enter the Temple of Solomon. And then there were the Crusades in the Middle Ages, which were a big political and money grab for the church to spread its disease to the Middle East. And then the Reformation began because the Church was selling pardons to get into heaven. And today, the Church has enormous edifices, TV shows, DVD's, gift shops (like at the Vatican), and its own YouTube page.
How can anyone not see that it's all a scam? Jesus was a man of modest means (whom I genuinely have the the highest respect for). He owned literally nothing. Did he need all this stuff to spread his word?
