@moonbus saidLOL@ moonbus....OK if you say so, it must be so! π π
I could very well lecture about Homer's Illiad and the Greek pantheon without believing in Zeus or Hera. I could give a lecture on Scientology. That doesn't mean I believe an alien named Xemu pushed doomed souls into volcanoes millions of years ago. So why shouldn't GoaD be able to lecture about the Bible or Christianity? He has, after all, made a study of comparative ...[text shortened]... Anglican priest who said he was an agnostic, so, yes, it is even possible to preach without belief.
I think you missed the whole point of what was being talked about here! Nothing to do with the bible or lecturing....only hint you get! π

-Removed-I frankly don't care that you don't believe my testimony, because winding you up about it was never my intention. What I do care about is you portraying me as either lying about it or as mentally unstable. And the only reason I think you care about it at all is because I have been outspoken about how I feel that you have an agenda of representing yourself in these forums as something you're not, i.e. fair-minded and reasonable, and you wish to convince people that I'm unstable and that my opinion cannot be trusted.
No, I see you, but I also see no integrity there. That's why you constantly try to shut me up. It's been going on for years now.
@very-rusty saidI could have a blue smurf as my icon, does that mean I think I'm a blue smurf?
You do have a super girl outfit on as your icon! π π

Why are your arguments always crap?
@very-rusty saidC'mon, Rusty. Do you really think your idiot opinions are not getting enough exposure here?
I had to bump this one as the page flipped, very few go back to read what was said on previous page.
You do have a super girl outfit on as your icon! π π So my answer would have to be a 'YES' you live in a fantasy world. Kind like cleaning out a bar with bikers in it...LOL...That was really funny!

As for the rest of your post, I see you are learning from your mentor. If your exaggeration is subtle enough, maybe you won't be called out on it and then you can exaggerate more next time until you're just getting away with lying. Well-done? I guess?
@very-rusty saidThe thread topic is veering off topic. Every thread eventually veers off topic. Sometimes interestingly so, and some posters might actually learn something from a post which veered off topic. I learned a new word in this thread, for example; I might even use it in a scrabble game some day (take warning, Goad!). Some threads veer amusingly off topic. Witty posts and repartee are part and parcel of forum activity, and some of the best threads are those in which there are multiple streams of conversation going on among overlapping groups of posters which weave in and out of the ostensible thread topic. Such threads make for good reading. For these reasons, I oppose any change to forum rules or implementation of any technology which would give the initial author of a thread control over deleting posts.

Every coin has two sides. I just described 'heads'. The 'tail' side of this is, as Earl noted, that some people chatter, offering nothing of interest to anyone but themselves. As there is no head-end without a corresponding butt-end, we just have to accept chatter as the price we pay to have an open forum at all.
I leave it to the reader to determine who among us says what is so because it is so (not because he says it), and who is the butt-end here.
