What, are you recommending washing with blood? A blood-bath perhaps? Well that would explain GWBs policy in iraq…

I love the fact that as long as someone is talking about the blood of the Christian jesus it’s totally ok, but the moment I start talking about drinking delicious baby blood I’m labeled a “madman” or “baby-killer”.

interesting statement about me RC. Honestly, you can say this about a family being broken up because of the lack of love we once had, the vow before each other, to love and care for each other in sickness and in health and what about his son and the family.

what can wash away our sins RC? nothing but the blood of Jesus,

What would you tell a child, that mom and dad love each other, oh the fervor is a big give-away.

Tell me RC, where is mum and dad now? tell this child there is no hope, this my friend will cause a rip in the time-space continuum.

oh “the crushing disappointment of realizing” that we are sinners. oh, the child and his heart. password tell this child you still love his mummy and respect her like when you first loved her.

RC, When say this “with or without the phoney-baloney god crap they have been shoving at you”.
who exactly are you talking about, password and his gang or my belief in the Jesus Christ.

“Look, bad stuff happened, but you STOPPED it”. RC you are correct about that and I just appreciate the point you make.
But, as for me and my house, Jesus Christ is our Lord & Saviour and He alone has helped me in a time in my life that a direction had to be made. I have something more wonderful than gold or evolution can come close too and that’s a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. My friend there is power in the Gospel. RC you call it phoney-baloney, but the lives are transformed by the WORD of GOD for the better.
RC let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water and let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works.
RC and the password gang, i thank you for the kindness you have shown me.

It’s going to take a few years and he still has to go through the crushing disappointment of realizing the limitations of the half-cure he has temporarily settled for, but that fervor is a big give-away, he is not feeling very secure with the current situation.

RC, honestly if you knew my old ways, you would not like me

RC, honestly if you knew my old ways, you would not like me

RC, honestly if you knew my old ways, you would not like me

Hey, that is saying something bad about me - that I would be bad towards you by not liking you. But I kind of suspect you don’t realize that? You think I would be justified in not liking you I suspect? That if I didn’t like you on account of your old ways, that would make YOU the bad one in your eyes and I would be better for not liking you? Not your ways mind you, but you?

Look, bad stuff happened, but you STOPPED it. You were are and will be quite likeable, with or without the phoney-baloney god crap they have been shoving at you. It’s not the believing that made the difference, it’s you.

I lol’d :)

You know, thinking about it from an evolutionary point of view, the trait of gullibility seems to be very strongly conserved throughout history despite some pretty obvious and horrendous survival disadvantages. Whatever the survival and/or reproductive advantage is of blindly believing everything you are told, it must be pretty big!

(insert joke about gullible co-eds here)

((actually, if you contrast all the un-wed teenage mothers in the bible belt with all the childless professional couples in the north-east, that’s not a joke - it’s a viable explanation!!!))
