Anti-Semitism In France!

[BJean 16]

TOM: The thing is, until I choose to tell you what I mean, you can't PROVE what I mean, one way or the other, now can you?

You can't even prove that it was BJean that was writing it. It might be BJean's DH telling you that BJean loves you. BJean's DH might have chosen to develop a ministry on BJean's behalf, to gather more adoration for BJean since he thinks that is what BJean wants and he loves BJean so much. He knows that making BJean happy is very important because if BJean isn't happy, she can make DH's life a living h----.

Like all women can!!

TOM: Well yes. Think we should start a new thread on that topic?

Scene #1:

Ron, TOM, gadgetlady Lisah25, Bjean, Green, GeezerSue, leatha_G, TommyO, ousooner, TruBlueSue, and all the other's who have posted to this thread all meet up in Heaven one day.

They greet each other with hugs and kisses (where appropriate) and talk about this thread and how it made them learn more about human nature, and the nature of God and religion, which may be the same thing (come to think of it). They all realize that though they argued tooth and nail, there were genuine relationships forged.

God and Jesus (at his right hand) walk by and are pleased at their endeavor. “See, Father, Adam and Eve might have broken your heart, but these LBT members have filled it with joy, but you already knew that would happen.”

Scene #2:

Ron, TOM, gadgetlady Lisah25, Bjean, Green, GeezerSue, leatha_G, TommyO, ousooner, TruBlueSue, and all the other's who have posted to this thread all meet up in Heaven one day.

They immediately rekindle this thread and a “knock down, drag out” verbal battle ensues, becoming so loud that God and Jesus (at his right hand) have to walk by to referee the battle. When they fail, Jesus issues a degree, “He (or she) who continues this battle shall be sent to join Satan. I gave you guys a break after that LBT melee, but enough is enough.”

As God and Jesus (at his right hand) walk away, a snicker and “I told you so” is heard.

Jesus spins on his heel and says, “No. I told you so” and the LBT crowd is not so crowded anymore.

Epilogue:

Which of these two scenes would you put your money on?:faint:

OK, now I'm totally with BJean on her opinion of you. Sorry about the skillet you'll get for that... :biggrin1:

[lisah25 3]

Can I take this to mean it's okay to take this thread from Anti Semitism in France, to a debate over Atheism vs Christianity, but not to the literalness of the Bible?

How in the world did you get that?

I took it to mean that starting a seperate thread might get more responses.

We need Carlene on this thread.

[BJean 16]

lisa25: Thank you dahling. I'm quite fond of you as well as Tom.

Carlene would have fun here.

Did everyone read Green's little "essay" on how this type of discussion benefits those who participate, whether they come to an agreement or not?

I think we've come a long way from the beginning premise of this thread and I for one, have learned a few things while I've participated. I hope everyone else has a good feeling about their involvement here.

Entering into a dialogue with the intention of sharing ideas, beliefs, hypotheses - one thing. Entering into it with the intention of walking out "right" or having changed someone's mind on something - entirely different outcome. When the conversation is, "Here's what I think" - I'm golden. When the conversation is "You're wrong because here's what I think" - you say OK and walk away.

Green is a superstar.

Wheetsin: Sorry I left you off the list in my two scenerios.

[Wheetsin 714]

I'll take an honorable mention over the spotlight any old day of the week.

[BJean 16]

Wheetsin: I don't appreciate anyone saying that something is absolutely true when everyone knows they have an agenda when saying it.

I must also add that I think you've done a very commendable job of moderating here.

Where is everybody? Did someone start a new thread where they can go to feel all warm and fuzzy together?

hahahaah people gotta eat, even bandsters!!!

[BJean 16]

Well if it takes this long, they're eating too much. :hungry: :help:

[ousooner 1]

Hi BJean, I am here, just not really posting much on this subject. Debate can be good, but this thread has gone beyond that to be hurtful and harmfull to my veiws. So I sit and lurk and try not to add fuel to the fire.

[Wheetsin 714]

I had a conference call that actually required 100% of my attention. When does that happen?!? I still have one, fortunately this one only requires about 40%.
