"Some DO know how that got twisted into such an idea in our time, and how it involves atheist and homosexual activist groups convincing companies (from outside) or their getting onto the boards of these companies to convince them (inside) that Christmas offended many of their customers."
Gibbons old pal, you continue to entertain me to no end. Thank you. I believe you have taken your lesbian/feminist/homosexual/atheist/ conspiracy too far off the deep end now. The Gap and every other corporation is only concerned, as they must be, with the almighty dollar. If they can make tons of dough selling "Jesus is my co-pilot" T-shirts, they'll do that. If "I'm a part of the lesbian/feminist/homosexual/atheist/ conspiracy" shirts are what's selling, they'll do that.

Flagged as inappropriate. show Pastor Idleman went on to say, "Some people pretend to put money in the collection basket but they really don't. Some of you Christians only put in five bucks. Jesus wants you to do better people. My new swimming pool isn't gonna pay for itself. Can I get an Amen?" hide

Alocksee,
You obviously are not very bright as proven by your horrendous writing abilities, but I now believe you are completely off your rocker. Why do you want to make fundamentalist people not believe in God? If poor people stop believing in God and believe they have no purpose they will go on a rampage. The rich will get it first but the LGB or whatever you call them, will be second. The reason they don't like them has nothing to do with God or the Bible despite what they claim. It is a cultural aversion. Jesus and the Bible are the only two things keeping them from capturing you and eating your liver.

"In Response: Whats the matter now, did little John Stewart expose your hero Beck for making up a story again. Stewart proved that Beck used footage from a completely different day and event and lied about it to help the measly few thousand that showed for Bachman and the rest of fascists in Congress."
It was actually that Hannity person that did this. His program used footage from some Glen Beck event in the summer where there were a lot of people and made it look like it was happening now in the fall at some lame tea bagger party. You need to be more accurate Alocksee. Glen Beck is certainly evil despite your inaccuracy.

"I do not nor did I ever give permission for my posts on any location to be put up on any site that I wasn't first asked and gave permission for prior to the posting."
Alocksee,
I am putting together a book for elementary school students on writing and I would like permission to include some of your run-on sentences for the "Don't do this" section. What do you say?
"I encourage everyone to study what God says about capital punishment ..."
"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.' But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you.
"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies[i] and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Gibbons family,
Did you know that 90% of the wealth in this country is controlled by 1% of the population. That means that the other 99% of us regular folks fight and scrap over the 10% that's left. I am certainly not a communist or anywhere close to being one, but this is the real immorality in this land. That obscenely wealthy top 1% love that we all squabble over what gay people are doing instead of paying attention to what really affects us.
"DP will just have to learn the hard way, just like the KKK did with the court ruling and they will continue to rant but who cares they never change their rants, making it very easy to post in response."
DP will just have to learn the hard way just like the KKK did with the court ruling. They will continue to rant, but who cares? They never change their rants. It makes it very easy to post in response.
Having the word "just" twice in one sentence is awkward. You should change that.
"Once their back in their place it will become very clear they should stop with the everything is a sin, who cares what their little bit of wood pulp says, it isn't the law of the land nor can it ever be."
This should read:
"Once THEY"RE back in their place it will become very clear they should stop with the "everything is a sin." Who care what their little bit of wood pulp says? It isn't the law of the land, nor can it ever be.
Alocksee,
I agree that gay people should be allowed to marry but you are a poor advocate for it since you don't know how to write. I'm getting tired of you not paying attention to my advice.
I'll try a different approach and compare what you wrote with a well written version. You write:
"What your side wants is to prevent ANY recognition or allowances to the LGBT community regardless of what they do, marriage or not you want to eradicate anyone not in line with your ridiculous nonsense you follow and still haven't produced any evidence to show your deity even existed."
Try this:
What your side wants is to prevent ANY recognition or allowances to the LGBT community regardless of what they do. Marriage or not, you want to eradicate anyone not in line with the ridiculous nonsense you follow. By the way, you still haven't produced any evidence to show your deity even existed.
Just simple changes like these will give the impression you are competent.

"Do you see how illogical your argumetn is. Given that God created man and that he denoted that homsoexuality is an abomination why would he create man to be homsoexual it is in itself illogical."
There are a lot of things in Leviticus that we have discarded today. You pulling out the "homosexuality is an abomination" thing is selective. You pick that and ignore all the others because of your own bias. It has nothing to do with God or the Bible. In Leviticus, women are told to take birds to a priest for sacrifice to "atone" for their periods. In your logic, why did God make women the way he did and then consider their menstrual cycle something they needed to be forgiven for? The answer is that leviticus is not a clear picture of how God really operates and Jesus tried to tell you this but you cling to what is old.
Alocksee,
What is so hard about avoiding these run-on sentences? Let me help. You write:
"With you voting away the rights of LGBT people it doesn't change it from being a CIVIL RIGHTS ISSUE, it is and always will be, you aren't allowing yourself enough distance from your religion to see it with the bias."
This should be 3 sentences, not one. You need a period after "ISSUE." "It is and always will be" should stand on its own and then the last part starting with "you aren't" is a sentence on its own as well.
"I want you to focus on what is reality here and not your interpretation of what a marriage is under the law and it is not religious by law,"
This sentence is a mess and should be reworded entirely but you should start by separating it from the rest.
This should be a separate sentence: "it can't be and be legally recognized under the State and Federal law."
In any case, you would be more interesting if you looked over your work and then rewrote it so that it is has proper sentences and more clarity.
"hohnson, if you had time to figure that out, you really have way too much time on your hands!! LOL!!"
No, believer, I'm just a genius. Check the times of my two posts. Only 8 minutes elapsed. I went to the bathroom in that time, too.
Also, I believe the Tampax corporation is also going to be destroyed by God due to the fact that they aide and abet women in hiding the uncleanliness of their menstruation from others. God, of course, demands that I avoid touching such women or anything they've touched because it makes me unclean. How am I supposed to know when they are unclean if they hide it? I also like to encourage women to have some doves or pigeons sacrificed when they have their unclean period because God likes that, or at least he used to. But I don't know who to encourage and who not to encourage when every woman seems to have made an unholy deal with the tampon industry.
If you rearrange the letters in "Darden Restaurants" you get:
"Satans rude nerd rats"
Think about it.
"but he will not condone what he has labeled an Abomination."
He also labeled eating shellfish an abomination. Watch out when driving by your local Red Lobster as chunks of concrete may crush your car when God demolishes those houses of sin. Did you know the same company that owns Red Lobster, Darden Restaurants, also owns the Olive Garden? I believe God will leave Olive Garden restaurants alone, however. The people eating there have been punished enough.

Alocksee,
I have no intention of taking on any kind of challenge. I will readily admit I cannot produce any proof of anything. My sole purpose was pointing out that you are an incompetent writer and and a tedious bore. I believe I have done so as you have no comeback other than to repeat what you've already written fifty times about tangible proof.
I could not care less whether or not you believe in God. God doesn't care either. He told me on the phone today. I recorded it so I could send it to you, but of course God's voice can't be recorded. You'll just have to trust me on this.

Mathetes,
My apologies for not responding more promptly. We have had civil discussions on this issue before although I have not been satisfied by the answers I receive. You write:
"The Law shows us where we’ve done wrong,"
I probably have said this before but I don't like the picking and choosing in the leviticus law. In my mind, it's all baloney or none of it is. There is no asterisk next to "A man shouldn't lie next to a man" that indicates this law is more important than "don't wear clothing of more than one kind of fabric." The greater importance given to the "man lying with man" law is bestowed upon it by man, based on his own desire or fear, not God's. In other words, many Christians don't see the point of avoiding pork chops, but since gays make them uncomfortable, that leviticus law resonates with them.
You mention Matthew 5, which is one of my favorites. Jesus says that many of the things in leviticus are incorrect. You have heard that you should punish people in the same way they hurt you but Jesus says this is wrong. Did God change his mind? No, leviticus was never right.

Alocksee,
One does not need a degree in English to know how to recognize a run-on sentence. I think "the kids" begin to learn this in the 2nd or 3rd grade. Let's take a look shall we? You write:
"It's difficult enough trying to translate a normal vocabulary into the necessary limited babble so DP can have any chance at understanding my comments, I don't need another critique the next candidate for the popping fresh pilsbury pulpit puppet award to inject more interruptions into an already dysfunctional discussion."
The word "comments" should mark the end of a sentence. You need a period here.
"I don't need another critique the next candidate"
Again, a child would understand this phrase is incomprehensible. I'm only asking you to do some proofreading before you hit "submit."
Secondly, you write: "I will try to remember in the future to spell things out to you. I got the sarcasm, I understood what you had posted."
Clearly you didn't. Why would you write an entire paragraph about the picture not being "verifiable proof" if you understood the joke? You are a simpleton masquerading as a sophisticate.
On our own we are little more than bits of stone and glass. Together we are the Body of Christ. Holy Bible: Mosaic is an invitation to experience Christ in His Word and in the responses of his people. Each week, as you reflect on guided Scripture readings aligned with the church seasons, you will receive a wealth of insight from historical and contemporary writings.
