How does God kill whiners?

A. What? God wouldn’t kill people just for complaining.
B. Fire.
C. Earthquakes.
D. Terminal illness.
If I recall correctly only A is incorrect. I seem to recall B,C, and D occuring in the Bible at one point or another.

You forgot:

E. Eaten by the earth (om nom nom nom)
and
F. Flood

Who is pissing you off? I am lost? And what happened to the snark attacks, I ducked and covered twice and nothing. We have had two false snark warnings. You keep getting me all worked up, It seems you should reserve your attacks for when a snark is really going to attack.

Snarks can be very dangerous. Very, very, dangerous. Very, very, very, very, dangerous indeed....

....Very Dangerous!

That Q was the last one that OneEyeDick posed before running away. I resurrected it from 4 pages back in an effort to get back on topic.

Any other takers for the Q?

Donna Matrix wrote:Dana, I agree that many people have been thumped one too many times. But may I counter that those that thump are not "real" believers. They are facists, ur... I mean wolves in sheeps clothining actually trying to turn people off. The Bible warns of these.

All I'm saying is this: when I really looked at this issue many moons ago two things become apparent.

1. Jesus didn't hurt anybody and what he says won't hurt anybody either - so anybody who does get hurt is hurt by people not Jesus. Jesus should not be judged by what other people do, even if it is in "his name." These others just might be lying.

2. If the worse sin is hypocrisy (which I stated above) then isn't it kinda hypocritical to take advantage of "Christian" or Western culture and all the things it provides without doing your part in maintaining it?

Just my thoughts... These are the two conclusions I came to and why I now try to do my best to follow Jesus and maintain Western Culture - so maybe my grandkids (if I have any) can have the blessing I've had.

Disclaimer: I am not thumping anyone in this statement. It is only my own thoughts and conclusions.
Here's the post that started it all erri....

I was trying to be funny, but, if I think all things are God, then God does kill people. I have a brain cramp.

I agree with you 100 percent. Be free to dream of a better world for our great-great-great- (etc.) -grandchildren.

Now here are my issues:
Donna Matrix wrote:1. Jesus didn't hurt anybody and what he says won't hurt anybody either
I have no idea what you mean by this.
Donna Matrix wrote: so anybody who does get hurt is hurt by people not Jesus.
The "man", and I repeat the MAN, that you call Jesus is dead but not his message, you Donna, are living proof of that.
(that is my best guess because I have no idea what he said, except be nice to each other and you have not told me anything else.)
Donna Matrix wrote: Jesus should not be judged by what other people do, even if it is in "his name."
Again if they are following what Zombie Jesus said to do, it is the guy that gave the walking orders that is to blame.

Same problem I have with the current administration. G.W. never takes credit for Cheney's fuck ups.

Hold on just one cotton-pickin' minute !!

E. eaten by the earth ????
...isn't that just Bible terminoloy for Earthquakes which was answer # C ??
I am so confused....

My guess is.... the answer is....

*sending PM to Donna Matrix to find out the right answer *
*waiting.....waiting.....waiting..... ahh , there's a message from Donna for me !!! *

After careful revue, and consulting with my new Religion Guru, I have determined that the answer is.... A= Cole slaw !!!

(hold on a second..something doesn't seem right here)

Ok Donna, ya got me...I am such a dooface ... I fell for it !!! (cole slaw ?.......talk about making me look stoopid :? )


Sorry I was gone for so long everyone, two 16 hour days make my old bones feel tired.

The correct answer was supposed to be....

B (Fire.)
“And when the people complained, it displeased the Lord: and the Lord heard it; and his anger was kindled;
and the fire of the Lord burnt among them, and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the campâ€

Ha! I am immune from the hand of Virgin Mary! It would go right over my head, much as the idea that the Roman Catholic church is monotheistic does!

I would like to state for the record that I did not participate in said gang-banging and only came in after things had calmed down to try to bring peace and clarification to the subject at hand and to the original purpose of this thread.

But I never said you did, Mereth.
Putting words into other peoples mouths is something that just doesn't happen here in this forum,
And therefore, I rebuke you In the name of JESUS !!!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is to test our knowledge of Jesus's words, since that is the only part of the Bible that really matters.....

What did Jesus say about peace?

A-"Peace on earth, good will toward men."
B-"Don't think that I came for peace on earth. I came to start wars."
C-"Each person makes their own peace, according to their faith and how they treat others."
D-"There is no peace apart from God."

You said "pretty much everyone" - that's nonspecific. I'm just making sure that it's clear that I'm Switzerland on this thread.

B is CLOSE, but not quite. The exact quote is:
"I come not to bring peace, but to bring a sword."
The "sword" could be figurative for "the truth". See this wiki for analysis on that line.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/But_to_bring_a_sword

OneEye, if you have B as the right answer, I call BS on a technicality.

I say B, and I don't care about the wording. there are multiple translations of the book in question AND he could be paraphrasing to keep us from just googling for hte answers.

Sorry...I'm suspicious.
Anyone can grab an image off the web and post it as one of their own.
I've become marginally good at tracking down image sources and that one didn't come up even going 20 pages deep with the major search engines and using some proprietary tools ....again nothing came close.
But I wrote that I was skeptical and that hasn't changed...and I doubt I'm alone with my thoughts.To change that a suggestion that's been made in the past on the board would be to take a picture that shows you putting your left hand on your right ear while not covering your face and then it's believable.

I will say thanks for helping me to recalibrate my "anti-bullshit meter". It's registering about 8.2 and climbing.

Kinetic, your BS meter is working just fine on this one (got the photo off photobucket) - BUT I stated "(well, not really, but the resemblance is pretty good, eh Donna?)" which indicates that the photo is indeed not of me and Donna but the blond resembles Donna (vaguely, considering I've only seen the two avatars on EPlaya and never met her in person) and the person on the right does resemble me (again vaguely). Though I have a very slightly larger bust and darker hair. I'd look like that after spending a couple days at the gym to lose my 1/2" love handles.
Don't get all testy on me. I put a disclaimer in...
