The Power of Prayer

“BM, as usual, you only read part of the statement, or, selected what you wanted to respond to.

First, I made no mention whatsoever of MarkO & Christianity.,.. what I said was "People of belief"! Here's my actual quote:

Just curious, is there some reason you feel the need to be so condescending toward people of belief?


But the larger question is... why should it be OK to "bash" anyone's personal belief? I thought you guys (bleeding hearts - libs / socialists) were so much into "accepting"? Why the F&^K don't you "accept" some idea you don't agree with instead of trashing that individual?

What's amazing is you don't see how rediculous you're being.”

I was responding to your question, then your little interaction with SS, with a broader question. Sorry, again, it wasn't to your specific liking.

And I did it, once again, without using little typical labels, insults, and obscenities.

Often you come out sounding damn condescending, IMHO.

“At times, BM, it's justified.

No further comment! :)”

“in your case, wandy, its never justified for you to BE condescending. however, there are many times when its justified to be condescending TO you.

like now, for instance

~smug grin~”

“Hey... CB??? Why don't you call me whenever you grow up, gain a little more knowledge, & have a greater perspective on life.

Let's see... if I have this correct... you are:

(1) Young. (a kid, ie., under 25, therefore limited in your experience)

(2) Culturally Challenged. (ie., you've never lived anywhere except the cornfields of IN. Your "perspective" is therefore very limited”

“Dang Wanderer!!
I rarely(never say "never") say anything to you except in response.
Its as though I'm a burr on your ass.
I could say most anything to anyone and you seem to have an obsession with answering it in the most prickly manner even though it was not directed at YOU.

I was pickin' on my buddy XL in what I thought was a kinda clever way.
Remember the picture of the "prayer hat"?
Huh!!
I asked if it came in an XL......
If you can't get a laugh out of that leave it to someone like Crash Bang who gets it.

XL is a good man and a good sport and has let it be known that he is a christian and he is not an angry man LIKE YOU.

Wanderer, will you ever forgive me for whatever the #&%!$ it was that I said to or about you that has made me your personal hemorrhoid?

I may be wrong but I think I got a couple of zingers in on ya last year and you were the crumb who looked me up and discovered that I am a mere lowly state employee without the credentials to argue with the intellectual likes of you.”

“Yeah, pick on someone your own size!”

“markO was mocking to humiliate. christians are just stating what they believe to be true. muslims believe christians will go to hell, that is just their belief. just because they say that, does not mean they are mocking christians. if they state "i worship a man that could not prevent a humiliating death, nyuk, nyuk!!", then that is mockery

stating beliefs = good; mocking = bad”

What Would Jesus say to MarkO? Of all religions, I would think Christians would be the most immune to "mocking", and certainly American Christians. Except for maybe Catholics which truly seem to be the last acceptable religious punching bag. I would think a religious person might find it unfortunate for the lost soul, maybe feel sorry for the person?

At times, BM, it's justified.

I'm not sure if you're being serious or not but it certainly is never justified.”

“you are 1,000% right bearmagnet - but because a person is immune to mockery does not justify the act”

“And I did it, once again, without using little typical labels, insults, and obscenities.

Often you come out sounding damn condescending, IMHO.

lol! that is funny bearmagnet! thanks for the humor this morning to start the day”

“jeeze, wandy, is my sarcasm that thick that you dont see past it?

i know perfectly well that there are different denominations of christianity. i shouldve said "in general, christianity blah blah blah" it is impossible in life to never generalize. if we didnt generalize somewhat, every conversation would be 20 hours long, like the ones with s-rge. i cant wait for you to over-generalize about the evil stupid libbies like you always do, so i can remind you of your words here.

ooooh "the cornfields of indiana" wow. thats a clever putdown. so original. (that was sarcasm, in case you didnt recognize it)”

“and since you brought up the need to grow up, lets compare put-downs and name-calling, shall we?

put-downs and name-calling by wanderer:

1. stupid
2. shallow (granted, you didnt say i was stupid and shallow, but the insinuation was so clear you may as well have)
3. narrow-minded
4. shallow person (here you actually said it without insinuating it. very courageous. good for you)
5. intolerant
6. inconsistent
7. MFer
8. doesn't know what the F#$k he's talking about
9. uninformed (i'll let you slide on the "ignorant" bit)
10. limited in your experience
11. Culturally Challenged

put-downs and name-calling by crash bang:















~sounds of crickets chirping~









like marko said, i dont know why you gotta answer everything in the most prickly manner possible, as if its addressed to you. i hope youre not as angry when you read this today. you seemed to be in a bad mood yesterday and just looking for a fight. cheers, mate”

“Hey Crash Bang!!

How's thangs in Cornfield County?
Are you culturally challenged.............today?

Isn't Wandie the guy who said that Pennsylvania is a cesspool?

Let me tell ya, Pennsylvania gots nuttin' on Baltimore!
I could show you places in Baltimore that would turn you WHITE..............from fright, of course!

I have kin in Pennsylvania, along the southern tier on into Appalachia and south into Maryland and West Virginia.

Washington, D.C. is my home town......talk about cesspool!

"markO was mocking to humiliate."
moonglo

You wish!
Get a clue, moonie!
You want me to share your conscience.......its your personality defect, not mine.
If you can't take a joke that WAS NOT EVEN DIRECTED AT YOU.......hmmmm, get help.....talk to your family.......

Those here who actually know me know that I'm a fun-loving, jive-time turkey and that I refuse to grow up.”

“Don't leave out "uninformed", MarkO.”

“Ey, back to back defensive posts by Crash. Wanderer is getting him...one point to wanderer...and one extra just because Crash tried the innocent routine claiming to have not been insulting.

I haven’t seen justification like this sense Crash tried to explain how calling people “nigga” wasn’t bad. LOL! But please don't let me get in the way here. Continue by all means.”

“marko, if i said anywhere that i cannot take your joke, please repost it for me. your response to me contains even more mocking, which is all i said you were doing in the first place, i did not say you were not joking. one can mock and joke simultaneously”

“show me where i was insulting, nigal. show me one cheap shot i made. if you wanted to say i was condescending and sarcastic YES then youd be right, i was being extremely sarcastic and condescending, but no, i was never insulting. unless being condescending and sarcastic is insulting, which maybe it is. so, in the interest of accuracy, wanderer was cheapshot insulting, while i was condescending insulting. there. everybody happy? anybody take issue with that?

and, no, wandy didnt get to me. i was just avoiding chores. and i thought that since being sarcastic was getting wandy too riled up, id speak more plainly. of course, youll probably call me a poosy for backing out of my trolling, but id rather be a real person than a troll (well, most of the time, anyway)

and you still dont get the point about the whole wetback/nigga thing. and thats my fault. i didnt fully pound my point into your brain. i didnt have a problem with XL saying wetback. i had a problem with stovestomper not having a problem with it, seeing as how he read treebeard the riot act over it. i have a problem with the fact that stovestomper could watch s-rge rape a baby seal and if anybody said anything, stove would accuse the rest of us of making it all about s-rge, but if someone who voted democrat 20 years go farted wrong, he'd call them a silly, uninformed libbie.

of course, now i run the risk of you saying that YOU got to me because i wrote a long response, but if i make a brief response, then i run the risk of my thoughts being misunderstood. you cant fcking win around here. excuse me if im not a pro at this, nigal. i should be more like jolly old self-deprecating you, i guess. but i dont spend near enough time here.

“Silly C!B!.”

“yes, i do realize im a fcking schizo sometimes. ill troll the fck out of ppl sometimes, but i dont want to alienate anyone, so ill often break character and back off. and you hate that, i know. it makes me a poosy. and im not good at recognizing when im being trolled. like now. except that a lot of truth is said in jest, so even tho alot of what you say to me may be funnin', im going to respond to it like you meant it, because you (or anyone else) probably did.

“let us leave the baby seals out of it please”

“C!B! likes to wear women's bikinis.
See the AAK! thread for details......”

““outside of militant islam, christianity is probably the one major religion that is the most intolerant of other religions.”

Were I a christian I would find this pretty insulting.


And then there’s this gem which I. Myself, commended you on…

“Does it come in XL?”

My whole post was nothing more than showing how, once again, the sarcastic and insulting Crash Bang is the one blowing a gasket and being all defensive asking, “What? What’d I do?”. How people react to you is sometimes a reflection of your own attitude. OK, call me Sarge now.”

“moonglo, ive also been disappointed in you for breaking character at times. youre a great troll. dont ruin it

;-)”

“"so even tho alot of what you say to me may be funnin', im going to respond to it like you meant it, because you (or anyone else) probably did."

But see, when people do get bent out of shape about things you say you simply say, "Hey, it's sarcasm. Live with it.". Yet you are going to take everything said to you as being literal? Am I going crazy or is there soemthing wierd about being sarcastic and then blow up when sarcasnm is given back?”

“OK, who left these two alone in here?”

“Were I a christian I would find this pretty insulting

i was only referring to the conversation between wandy and myself. sorry for the confusion

nigal, you can over-simplify my motives if it helps to fit it into your brain better. i like my explanation better.”

“Yet you are going to take everything said to you as being literal?

ive addressed the fact that im not good at recognizing it when it comes back to me. anything else?”

“its so much fun being your special little project, nigey-poo. now, if theres nothing else you wanna call me on, could you please butt the hell out? wandy should be waking up soon and i need to prep for his barrage of schoolyard insults”

“"markO was mocking to humiliate."
moonglo

There ya go moonglo, whoever the hell you are.
You didn't take it as a joke but as mocking and humiliating.

You are obviously a woman.
XL is a guy who works with dirty sweaty men, just the sort of work(I was never a fireman, but when it comes to dirty and sweaty.....hell yes!) I used to do.
Some, if not most, such men ride one another's hind parts in a manner unknown to most women.
Some would call it "blowin' off steam".......making work as much a jolly good time as possible.
To some, women in particular, this can seem mean and humiliating.
Stick to what you know.

I was not mocking religion but merely pokin' and jokin' at XL who can take a joke(boy, I hope so!!)
You are being a busy body and trying to project feelings onto me which are not mine but your's.

Mutt.......is that all you got?”

“You better be careful when you shift gears from instigator to victim that fast. You're gonna drop your tranny. Special project my ass...”

“You said it, Crash Bang!!

I'm hikin' up my drawers right now!

Ooooooh, its gonna hurt!

I'm really gonna catch it for saying that I refuse to grow up!

“marko, what part of "one can mock and joke simultaneously" do you not understand?”

“hi s-rge!”

“Moonglo, I understand just fine.............I was not pickin' on you.

Who the hell invited to you anyway?

What part of nosey busy body do you not understand?

I poke a joke at XL and in steps Moonglo with a buncha chin music inferring that I'm knocking Xianity and "mocking to humiliate".

Its all about FUN and you really know how to kill a room!!”

“marko, why can't you try to be more tolerant?”

“Sacco, why can't you butt the hell out?”

“Oh no, another woman buttin' in!

>8^O”

“i hope you're joking lyra. suggesting tolerance in a nonmocking way should never be considered butting in.”

“Whatever, don't bother me...I'm busy praying that all of you go straight to hell.”

“mockery does not become you lyra. i pray that one day you'll open your heart.”

“marko, i was talking to bearmagnet. who invited you into our conversation?”

“The bad thing about a pissing contest is that everyone has to show their pecker.”

“lmao dayhiker, that is cute”

“i have a woodpecker that's destroying one my trees.

he's a beautiful bird, very animated and we like watching the little fellow, but i'm growing nervous that he's gonna kill the tree.”

“i would like to see your beautiful woodpecker, sacco

when are we going to hike a hike?”

“I love watching people throw swords staight up and stand under them.”

“the next time i get to cali!”

“Good Morning, #&%!$tards.”

“that was quite rude bearmagnet. and just when this thread was becoming more civilized.”
