I don't emphasize the messenger. There are a thousand messengers.

Wrong.

You really won't though, will you? You're too enamored of your little pile of money to risk it on anything - not even on doing what your "savior" tells you to do.

Re: Getting Plugged Back In
Phat writes: So? There are a thousand Basketball players but only one Michael Jordan.
Exactly my point. Basketball would be the same with or without Michael Jordan.
Phat writes: There are a thousand Hockey Players but only one Bobby Orr. Or Wayne Gretsky. Or Gordie Howe.
See above.
Phat writes: To put it in human terms, Jesus was the Wayne Gretsky of Messengers.
Or maybe the Fred Sasakamoose of hockey - i.e. a player you've never heard of.
Phat writes: And he delivered his message as near perfect as a human could do on the ice.
So why do you reject His message?

Re: Untangling a bored fisherman
Phat writes: ringo writes: Nope. I work without a net.
Not sure I follow. Are you referring to the fishermen analogy where the nets were breaking and the apologetic point that He makes us fishers of men?
Nope. The trapeze artist analogy with no safety net.
Phat writes: Are you implying that you seek to catch and hold no fish but merely give them spare change and let them swim on their way?
You're over-thinking it, trying to come up with a convoluted apologetic explanation for a simple phrase. (By the way, you could have googled it.)

Re: Working Without A Net
Phat writes: Let's speculate a minute.
You're still over-thinking. I just used a common expression.
Phat writes: You may not like Waylon Jennings....
I do like Waylon Jennings. And songs - like jokes - work best when you don't analyze them to death.
Phat writes: Otherwise, which google would you have used?
I would have looked up the meaning of working without a net.

Re: Working Without A Net
Phat writes: ... whats wrong with thinking? Better too much than not enough
Not necessarily. Take reading the Bible, for example. You're not content to read it and understand what it says. You try to think it into saying what you want it to say.

Phat writes: Are you seriously suggesting that the authors made up the characters from scratch?
*shrug* J.R.R. Tolkien did it. So do a lot of scifi and fantasy writers.

No more than YOU need an argument against leprechauns in general. The way reality works is: You need an argument FOR something you claim is true.

Re: Production Backs The Dollar
Phat writes: I would wager that no one in this forum understands the markets and the global money system any better than I do.
Don't bet more than you can afford to lose.
Phat writes: None of you are finance majors as far as I know. (Percy you are the exception. You have some solid sources.)
And yet you feel free to berate the people who agree with Percy.
Phat writes: As for Ringo, he will argue anything that I post....
I only point out where you're wrong. If you don't want it pointed out, stop being wrong.
Phat writes: All he knows is that Jesus told us to give it all away.
Your obsession with that point suggests to me that you feel guilty about it.
