That is wrong on so many levels, period.

This thread is a perfect example about how society as a whole has gone soft. People bitch about everything they can. People sue over stupid shit that was their fault. People can't take a joke or a comment without banning or firing someone.
Fuck nappy headed hoes.
Fuck religious people who push that shit on you.
Fuck people who can't take a joke.
Fuck people who can't just relax and have a good time.
Fuck the Spurs.
Fuck the Cowboys.
Fuck the Yankees.
Fuck IA.
And fuck you.
I feel better now. See how soft society has become?
OH YEAH!?
WELL
UM
SHIT
Does Jesus tuck you in at night?Quote:

Think about it Kelly, what has God given you that a non-believer doesn't have? Not a got damn thing.
While I agree that society as a whole is very soft and sissified, there are certain things that are funny and others that are not.Quote:

Basically, when you are truly kidding around about something 99.9% of people will know right away that it's truly a joke. If you have a very mixed reaction, then your "joke" was either delivered wrong or just wrong all together.
There are certain things people should NEVER "joke" about in my book; someone's family/children, someone's religion, someone's misfortune. If that's too many boundaries, then so be it. I just think that respect and tact dictate that people NOT pour salt into someone's wounds and then call it a "joke" and laugh about it. That's just you being an ass and hiding behind a smile. ;)
My :2cents:
Actually he's given me a lot. He lets different people experience different things so I'm not pissed at him for letting someone like 50 cent have riches that I don't have.
It's life, and i'm fine with that :dunno:
Yup. Knowing your audience is the most important thing.Quote:

In contrast, when you are so discontent with your own life that you have to resort to purposely irritating people for the mere purpose of getting your rocks off by seemingly cool ways.....you're nothing but a loser. You are purposely inflicting discord for your own pleasure. Those kinds of actions make the perpetrator of such cowardly acts a true loser at life.
Fight if you must, argue if you believe your point is valid, have your own opinion and voice it.....all fine and good. But if you must resort to throwing a cat into a dog pen just because you think it's "funny", you are a loser who has a meaningless life existance.
Jaime. Since this Kelly person has decided to wield her lack of intelligence on my question(which was originally posed to you), would you care to take a stab at my question now? Lolol. I had asked if clean, good natured Christian jokes are still wrong. Example of such:
One day God called Jesus and his helpers into a meeting.
God said that he wanted them to create a data base on heaven’s super computer.
He said He wanted them to list everyone who had ever been born and all the good and bad things that each had done since the beginning of time.
They all said they could do that and so they sat at their keyboards for hours, then days and weeks.
Finally they were almost done when there was a power failure in heaven and the computers all went off. Only seconds later the lights came back on and all the computers started to re-boot. There was much crying and gnashing of teeth and pounding of keyboards as this happened. Down at the end of the table sat Jesus with a big smile on His face.
Why was Jesus smiling amongst all this dismay?
Jesus Saves!
Is this blasphemy or sacrilegious or mean? Later, QD.
How does one get "flammed?" If I wanted to "flam" you, how would I? Later, QD.Quote:

i see no justice, no right, in someone going to heaven who who has willingly committed sin after sin (no longer talking about 50 here, just in general). yet if they somehow truly, willingly, repent before they die, they get whisked away to an eternity of good times. i'm sorry but i can't talk myself into believing that, i can't will myself into believing it, faith or no faith.Quote:

By contrast, a picture whose ONLY purpose IS to irritate people that believe in Jesus is NOT something that I find particularly funny at all. There is a big difference. Your joke is exactly that, a joke. Funny and non-inflammatory. The picture in the first page here is the purposeful and inflammatory kind. It serves no other purpose. Much some racial jokes, it is only funny to those that believe in the subject.
You know me better than most. I am easy going and roll with the punches often, until there's a reason to punch back. Some things people on IA think is funny, I chalk up to immaturity and lack of upbringing. This subject is no different. You can be funny w/o purposely throwing someone else's feelings under the bus.
absolutely, however i have a feeling that 90% of those posting in the WL haven't and couldn't pass a course in sensitivity...Quote:

Who is Thomas?
Who is the one doing the investigating and measuring of Babylon? The bible code answers itself: It is "Thomas." But the context leaves one to assume that it is actually the Spirit of God within Thomas that is doing the measuring.
Thomas is the (doubting) Thomas of the New Testament. He is one of the 12 disciples that is famous for having doubted the resurrection of Christ and insisting on proof before he would believe. Jesus gave him the proof that he asked for by having Thomas put his hands into his own nail-marked hands, etc. Therefore, "Thomas," (doubting Thomas, as he is known today), is a symbolic name that includes all those that need proof of the resurrection of Christ before they can believe, (Jn. 20:26-31). Therefore, "Thomas," here, refers to all who study the bible codes and are looking for evidence as to why they should believe on Jesus. (The book of Revelation likewise makes use of individuals by name; personages who are known types of some distinct character trait, cf., Revelation 2:14, 20).
The difference between Thomas and sinful men appears to be that of the motive of the heart: Thomas wanted to believe yet could not (without proof), but sinful men choose not to believe simply because they do not want to follow Jesus. Thomas is rebuked and forgiven for his sin. But if Thomas is rebuked by Jesus (cf., John 20:27) for not believing, "how then shall the ungodly and the sinner fair on the day of judgment?" (1Pet. 4:18.) The bible code answers this fearful question too.
That's pretty much me to a Tee. I am a believer, but not fully. Later, QD.Quote:

There is only ONE judge. HE will make the determination weather someone's heart is truly where it should be or they are merely hiding behind that smile again.
You should not choose to believe in God or not based on WHO is going to be your neighbor in heaven. That is not choosing God, that's just wanting to BE God and that's wrong. Forget 50, forget Hitler, forget Gandhi. THEY chose their own paths and will either pay or be rewarded for those choices. It has zero bearing on YOU. NONE. So why worry about them instead of you? Why?
Thomas wanted to believe yet could not (without proof)
^ that creeps me out
