ok my bad , I jumped that totally…lets cut then out that Gargantua wasn´t that smart ,just a better reader then me :-D…
what´s the story ´bout mormons?..are they people you don´t wanna hang out with?..i lived in SoCal and Colorado and couldn´t complain about the people there exept the few nazis…
Mormonism is a cult - it is not Christianity because they don’t believe that Jesus is God. They use the Bible, but add the Book of Mormon. They follow the teachings of 19th century Joseph Smith who claimed to have seen a vision of God.
You could look it up in Wikipedia.
Mitt Romney will be the first Mormon to be a Presidential nominee of the Republican (or Democrat) party.
@ all of gars post
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA-
Falls over dead of laughing
It’s not that Gargantua figured anyone out, so much as that Gargantua is just Gargantua.
Imagine that someone knocks on your door. They want to convert you to (fill in religion). So naturally they are used to suspicious reactions, and are prepared to deal with suspicious reactions. They are prepared for many contingencies, and most normal moderately polite things that you would say “I’m not really interested” “I’m very busy right now” “Really, God is a nine tentacled beast from Saturn, how interesting” do not dissuade them.
Gargantua, on the other hand, is the sort to answer the door with a big (slightly suspicious) welcoming smile. Five minutes later, the guest will be answering personal questions about his/her family while standing on a three legged stool, trying to avoid eleven small vicious terriers that all answer to the name of “Land Piranha”.
Gargantua does such things purely for entertainment value, but there is a significant side benefit in that such practice weeds out those weak of heart or mind.

As far as the rationalist aspect goes - for those that read the OP, there are certain suspicious characteristics. True, others also often write suspicious posts, but those that really want to be a part of a community tend to continue to post in spite of dissuasion, so poking them usually doesn’t do too much real harm. Of course, there are some spammers that continue to post in spite of dissuasion; those sorts of spammers just get IP banned :D

Re: Romney -
I object to Romney on a personal basis. I expect a degree of hypocrisy and corruption in a politician, even more so from career politicians. But Romney is just too much; he suffers from what I call Emperor’s new clothes syndrome. Too many people are kissing his ass and telling him that this is OK and that is OK, and he’s at the point that he’s walking around wearing nothing but a smile.
Nothing wrong with nudity. Delusional thinking, though, is not something I want in a President.
so its kinda trying to sublimal message somebody and a few will be affected and some are not…I see, Like the rumor has it were it is been claimed that Walt Disney or his Company puts those sublimal messages almost in every Disney movie were one group sees only the sexual sublime, the second group the Hitleryouth S emblem and the third party nothing…
About the Mormons, I will make a big step arround Utah´s Mormons and Mormons in general…
I thank you for educating me on this Topic…
to Gargantua, eh where is he?..does any one noticed the lack of response?!.. :-D just fooling arround…I hope you see how much everybody in here is valueing you, so keep your good post coming…
3:16 the numbers of hope…
I like Gargantua, I find many of his posts entertaining, although some….
I’m at the FMG Convention with a bunch of the boys from AA.org
Also… lol
they don’t believe that Jesus is God
I don’t even think Christians believe that? :P Wasn’t he the son of god? And isn’t that also who you think you are? whilst talking about your unbeatable skills @ anniversary? :P
Just saying man…
Wrong X 2, Garg
Bible-believing Christians believe Jesus is the Son of God, AND God. God exists in 3 persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Apparently you think YOU’re God at Axis and Allies, because all I ever said was that I’ve never seen anyone try for Egypt and Karelia at the same time, and the next thing I know you’re all huffy because you’d just tried it against TDJ. I challenge you to a game and now you’re making up things about me. I never called myself unbeatable.
You’re good at getting reactions out of people, and that doesn’t take much skill, man. You just like to poke
And no, I still haven’t taken the trouble to try Triple A. I like my battlemap
they don’t believe that Jesus is God
I don’t even think Christians believe that? :PÂ Wasn’t he the son of god?Â

You just revealed how ignorant you are of the basic tenets of the dominant religion of the Western Hemisphere.
Ever heard of the Trinity?
John 10:30 - “I and the Father are one”
John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” -
Whoever believes in Jesus shall have eternal life. This is because JESUS IS GOD. KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS.
Have you never heard, or did you just get your facts mixed up?

How did we end up to this subject……
It’s Sunday today, thats how?
I think… :?
@Deaths:

For some people it is.
It’s BIBLE THUMPING TIME!
First of all
John 10:30 - “I and the Father are one”
is being taken out of context And you need to read the whole passage.
22 Then came the Festival of Dedication **at Jerusalem. It was winter, 23 and Jesus was in the temple courts walking in Solomon’s Colonnade. 24 The Jews who were there gathered around him, saying, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Messiah, tell us plainly.â€
25 Jesus answered, “I did tell you, but you do not believe. The works I do in my Father’s name testify about me, 26 but you do not believe because you are not my sheep. 27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[c]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.â€31 Again his Jewish opponents picked up stones to stone him, 32 but Jesus said to them, “I have shown you many good works from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?â€
33 “We are not stoning you for any good work,†they replied, “but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.â€
34 Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your Law, ‘I have said you are “godsâ€â€™[d]? 35 If he called them ‘gods,’ to whom the word of God came—and Scripture cannot be set aside— 36 what about the one whom the Father set apart as his very own and sent into the world? Why then do you accuse me of blasphemy because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? 37 Do not believe me unless I do the works of my Father. 38 But if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me, and I in the Father.†39 Again they tried to seize him, but he escaped their grasp.
What Jesus is refering too, is how with the spirit of god in himself, that he can do miracles. But he’s plainly explain, that he is not god, but simply, that god is working through him.
Of course, the neanderthals around him want to STONE HIM, because they think he is saying he is god, BUT JESUS IS DISAGREEING with that.
Next…
John 3:16 - “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” -
Dude…
Did you EVEN READ YOUR OWN QUOTE?
By your quote, GOD, and JESUS are clearly 2 entirely seperate entities, the bible it is VERY clear on that point. Â Shall we call the local bible college, and have a biblical professor CLEARLY explain this to you?
I don’t have a degree, in bible-ology, but my brother does, and trust me, this point is expressly covered.
The next thing you’ll post, is that you think christians think they’ll only get to heaven through good works lol.
P.S. Â You just revealed how ignorant you are, of your OWN POSTS, in my line of work, we call than, an ID-10-T error.**
C’mon this is a stupid argument :roll:
