Honestly, Galaxiom, either he's trolling all of us or we're watching a descent into madness. He was quite a bit less extreme a year ago.

A) If he's not a troll, it's quite frightening to think that people like that still exist.
B) He does give some absolutely perfect examples of why religious "logic" has been such a barrier to progress over the years.

His beliefs are pretty much identical to one of the Republican Presidential candidates, actually.

Extreme as our friendly neighborhood sociopath is, I have encountered many, many religious nutjobs who make him look sane. I've been trying to tell people for 11 years now that people like Bladerunner and his fellow religious extremists are the greatest danger facing the US, but most don't want to listen because they truly believe that Christians could never be a danger to anyone.

 

[Bladerunner]

Aaaaand there we have it. Bladerunner has stepped up and said straight-up that the murder of children is a good thing.

And the sick fuck has the hubris to call Liberals monsters.

oh you are a far left liberal aren't you? I did not in any form say that and you know it......... You are the sick .........?

God made us and God will,,,will take us away..... When he does, it will be at his discretion not yours or not mine.. It is called salvation not murder and it is done specifically by God and only God's hands despite the people (crazies) out there that kill in his name.

 

[Bladerunner]

hey buddy,,,I just state what the Bible tells us.... If you and others choose to disagree and choose to not recognize Jesus Christ, the I suspect that you and others you speak about will wind up like the Egyptian army. I do not think Satan will be able to help you!

Blade

 

[Frothingslosh]

That statement is what sane people call a lie.

Proof, you ask? Why, tis quoted in the very post to which you're responding, but I'll provide it again:

One other point I forgot to make. The children that were killed in Egypt went to a place for the OT called paradise to await their entry into heaven automatically...At the beginning of the 'Age of the Grace' (Jesus Christ Death and Resurrection), they were transferred to heaven (Eph 4:7-9) Depriving the children of this life is a good way to get them away from nay sayers and sinners and all the bad examples. Besides , they are all in a better place than either you or I.

Blade

Please note the part I conveniently bolded for you, where you specifically state that the murder of children is a good thing.

You are the sick .........?

Yes, yes, we've all seen you mock people for caring about others, trying to do the right thing, and honestly actually trying to do what Jesus says to do. The fact that you think that doing good is actually evil simply shows what an evil, vile piece of scum you really are.

God made us and God will,,,will take us away..... When he does, it will be at his discretion not yours or not mine.. It is called salvation not murder and it is done specifically by God and only God's hands despite the people (crazies) out there that kill in his name.

Murder: the unlawful premeditated killing of one human being by another.

Nope, nothing about God in that one.

There is a certain irony there in the fact that you think you're sane while the calling the people who believe the exact same thing as you but who act on those beliefs crazy.

Hate to break it to you, but despite what you keep telling people at your White Power meetings, murder is murder, regardless of what the imaginary voice in your head says.

 

[Frothingslosh]

And by the by, try learning for once. For someone who claims to be a microbiologist (and based on your stated beliefs and attitudes, I'm calling bullshit on that one), you are the dumbest freaking scientist I've ever seen.

If you knew even the SLIGHTEST thing about politics, you would know I'm anything but far left. Liberal, sure, but on that whole left spectrum, I'm pretty solidly middle of the pack. If you want far left, I'll introduce you to some actual anarchists sometime. Or maybe a true socialist. Or maybe an eco-activist, or a PETA activist, or maybe a couple vegans, perhaps an eco-terrorist if I can find one, or one of the many who actually favor full gun bans, or one of the few who advocate the total elimination of prisons altogether.

Just because you're off the fucking charts to the Right, that doesn't make everyone who's sane a 'far left extremist'; it just means you're god-damned insane.

Ah, but Frothy - as we all know, everything is relative. To Blade, we are so far to the left of his position that WE must be the far-left extremists. Then again, given the kind of logic that he displays, anybody who isn't inside his own private version of religious extremist Hell has to be someone he will shun.

I rather hope that the religious extremists WILL all vanish in a cloud of Heavenly smoke. If it actually DOES amount to 1 Billion persons, that would be a 16% reduction (give or take) in planetary population, which ought to help reduce the production of greenhouse gases significantly. {watch out for the dripping irony of my far-left position on that subject ...}.

Of course, if that really happens, it must have been because Blade's God really DID want Islam to take over the Earth. If you stop to consider the countries where you would find a total of a Billion people to take away in the rapture, that would leave the Middle East mostly untouched. Which means that ISIS would suddenly find themselves unopposed by anyone with extreme Christian leanings. Seems to me that could only happen if God wanted Islam in power. How's THAT for a fun self-contradictory dilemma?

Of course, Blade will probably find fault with my position on this issue. But then again, where does he NOT find fault on this forum?

He does seem to be a fan of both Steve R and Dick7Access.

Didn't seem to care much for Aziz, though, even though their beliefs are virtually identical.

You clearly need to study your Bible more closely.

God instructed the Hebrews to massacre more than thirty tribes who were already living in the "Promised Land" when they were given it as "The Chosen Race". (Oh, the irony of the similarity to Hitler's Master Race.)

So were the Hebrews "crazies that kill in His name" or just helping God when He was a bit busy to do it Himself? (Be careful not to contradict the Bible now, you don't want to miss your ticket in the Rapture.)

BTW The Hebrews fell foul of His wrath (yet again) when two tribes tricked them into signing a peace deal instead of being slaughtered as He had commanded. As punishment for their treachery these people of the tribes were enslaved by the Hebrews.

 

[Alc]

No, he doesn't. He's memorized the useful bits and ignores the rest. All he has to do then is say that the passages that match his illiterate, xenophobic ramblings are "evidence" that what he says is right, while everything that appears to contradict what he says has a hidden meaning. This is the only way he can even attempt to justify the whole "jesus says 'Needy? F*ck the needy'" drivel he comes out with.

Doc, now you are playing to the audience...You know what is actually going to happen. We see it forming day-by-day in the Middle east..

 

[AccessBlaster]

...You know what is actually going to happen. We see it forming day-by-day in the Middle east..

literally every generation has proclaimed this in one form or another. Basically "the sky is falling"

 

[The_Doc_Man]

Doc, now you are playing to the audience...You know what is actually going to happen. We see it forming day-by-day in the Middle east..

And your grandstanding on the Rapture and the torment faced by non-believers ISN'T playing to an audience? How's that again?

As to my comments about what would happen if the Rapture took away all of the really pious leaders... Don't you see that if God does that, He plays right into Allah's hands by removing the opposition to ISIL? What I see is that you cannot allow yourself the time and freedom of thought needed to really analyze what you way.

You've shown us so many knee-jerk reactions that I hope you won't need surgery on that knee of yours too soon. I had to have a torn meniscus repaired last year and let me tell you, that recovery was NO FUN, even for me who holds down a desk job. Walking to the restroom or lunch room and the round trip to the parking lot were all really nasty until it all healed.

 

[AccessBlaster]

A little more of this maybe?

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.

Dalai Lama

 

[Alc]

Yes, but we all know the Dalai Lama just wants to feeeeeeel goooood.

 

[Frothingslosh]

Doc, his type truly believes that the horror show he's describing and the beliefs he holds are self-evident to every man, woman, and child on the planet, and that the ONLY reason to not believe the way he does is because you have specifically and willingly chosen to serve Satan instead. Nothing will change his mind on that.

He quite literally cannot comprehend why someone could even possibly believe differently than he does without them being pure evil. I've seen his type many times before, unfortunately. Hell, 19 of them either flew or attempted to fly planes into buildings a bit over 14 years ago. Another was famous for leading the organization in Spain a few centuries back that eventually became the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith.

His kind are turned out by religions with depressing regularity, and I'm afraid you'll have better luck convincing the sun not to rise than convincing him accept any idea from any source other than the Bible and whichever preachers and beliefs he has already decided speak for/come from God (such as the Rapture, which is mentioned NOWHERE in the Bible, yet he still maintains is coming).

That is, of course, assuming he's not just a long-running troll.

 

[Alc]

I'm still holding onto this idea. I've responded to his barely literate ramblings as much as anyone, so if he is a troll, he's a good one. On the other hand, if he's a just a human being, he's very, very lacking.

 

[Frothingslosh]

Yes, but we all know the Dalai Lama just wants to feeeeeeel goooood.

Quotes by other people who apparently simply wanted to feeeeeeel gooooooood:

Life's most persistent and urgent question is 'What are you doing for others?'

Injustice anywhere is a threat to people everywhere.

The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.

Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them.

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.

No one has ever become poor by giving.

No one is useless in this world who lightens the burdens of another.

Love is not patronizing and charity isn't about pity, it is about love. Charity and love are the same -- with charity you give love, so don't just give money but reach out your hand instead.

Non nobis solum nati sumus. (Not for ourselves alone are we born.)

Who would have thought that all the folks I quoted were only concerned with feeeeeeeling goooooooood?

Or both of the above.
