One Word Got Me In Trouble.

Yeah, Dubya's fundamentalism IS going to ruin our country isn't it.

...........And attributed to 200 years of blessing to the planet's finest nation ever, by every past generation of the majority of it's citizens prior to yours, whose school history books have had the facts either deleted or revised to suit the mindset of that liberal elitist minority who've taken over the educational establishments of the nation's schools.

No it is not a cheap shot. I'm pointing out what it is you are doing. LOOK AT YOURSELF!You've declared your intention to go on spreading anti-Islami propaganda. Your hatred of Catholicism is obvious.And you don't care about facts - you'll quote any source that supports your prejudice without considering the other side or doing any reasonable investigation.I'm being considerably "nicer" to you - and with less reason - than you are being about YOUR targets.Did it ever occur to you that Islam is a major religion and can't be judged by the behaviour of the fanatics ? Doesn't Christianity have it's own crazies like David Koresh ? Hell you've already argued that we can't judge Calvinism by Calvin's own actions !And what about the points I raised agaisnt your "moon god" claim ? Ignored! What you mean by "be nice" is "stick to facts so I can ignroe them and carry on posting lies!".[This message has been edited by PaulK, 09-15-2003]

Buzsaw, Utterly, utterly irrelevant, even if it were true. You claimed, as if it were some sort of falsification, that "Allah" was a less-than-the-one-true-God-because-he-was-a-moon-God. I pointed out this exact same situation existed for your God, namely, the God of Battles.Mark------------------

What facts, PaulK? Open a thread and apprise us all of them. What prejudice? Please document. What investigation have you done to back up these charges? Are facts about various religions, with the exception of my own, to be considered so sacred by some of you picky pernickity people, so as to be considered to be a problematic provocation perpetuated by opposing persuasions? Can you folk of scientific mindset demand exclusive truth to be adhered to in scientific discussion, all the while insisting that a hundred different views should be tolerated, accepted and coddled by religious folk? Hmmm?

yeah, you're right Buz. We definately need to get Christianity out of our society. Maybe then we can apporach a level of civilization like they have in Scandanavia.

Oh please, we ponly need to look at you behaviour in this thread to see the problem. You'll condemn Islam or Catholicism at any excuse but if equally good evidence comes up against your side you'll handwave it away.FACT : Calvinists killed Michael Servetus for heresy - Calvin endorsed this and wrote a book in favour of executing heretics. How is Calvinism less guilty of executing heretics than Catholicism ?FACT : I pointed out problems and other sites dealing with your "Moon God" claims. You ignored them, to instead "answer" one small part - my request as to the location of the original site. And you even ignored the REASONS I gave for wanting to see that.It's all here in this thread.The whole point is that you aren't INTERESTED in the real facts. You just want to promote claims that agree with your prejudices and hand wave away facts that contradict them. And then you complain when YOU get criticised.

Imagine: me missing your presence here! Welcome back to the gauntlet. I believe I now understand why you characterized my quotes from Job as "primary supporting text," in msg. #70 {The Bible, Accuracy and Inerrancy - thread - Any Comment W_Fortenberry?} You may have called that correctly, because there is no text which says, Now there's a very long sentence with at least four subjects and not one verb!1) Islam's Growth Rate: 2) Careless Translation: 3) What's Actually Written (RE: The name of God):4) Jehovah God of America: The same could be said of the pre-Judaic God. Abram's ancestors most certainly worshipped a moon-god, and when YHWH came along, he embodied all the attributes of that god. He rose, he set, he shined his face, or turned it away. He lighted the world, or dwelt in darkness. He ruled the rising sea, or caused its waters to recede from the land. His title was simply inserted into much of the poetry which had originally been written to the moon-god. Today we might call this plagiarism. Yes, it is off topic and I believe your attack on Islam has met, and will continue to meet, the most vehement and appropriately disapproving opposition. Much more appropriate, I think, would be an attempt to reconcile yourself to the horrendous character of Yahweh himself, and decide whether that is the kind of god with which you are comfortable.I wish only to serve the god of: good-pay-day.------------------

Now there's a very long sentence with at least four subjects and not one verb!

Doc, it's been 50+ years since I took English grammer in high school, but if my recollection of the definition of a verb is in tact, I count two verbs, i.e. "coming" and "written."?? Educate me here, or has English grammer also been revised by the school book revisionisists since my days?

Scuse me, Doc. There's also "translate," being the third verb there, I believe.

........And "contender" being the fourth.

.........Well, contender does involve action, but is descriptive, isn't it? An adjective??[This message has been edited by buzsaw, 09-17-2003]

.........."Failing" is also a verb, is it not?

.........Emerging a sixth?

.........Well scratch "contender," being more descriptive than verbal. Anyhow suffice to say, there's verbs aplenty there IMO.
