Really? I'm the cultist? That's really quite funny, coz from my perspective, you're the occultist. And trust me sweetie, other than your membership of the human race, you're no family to me. I thank you for your concern, but really chuck.......you don't need to worry about me. First time in my entire life I've ever witnessed a member of a 'state' church (of England) referred to as a cultist. Guess there must be a first time for everything.
Yep, there's an almighty gulf between us alright, and the Pacific pales into insignifince by comparison. You might as well be living in a different Universe, nevermind on another planet. Other than being the polar opposite of everything I believe in, you & I have absolutely nothing in common, with the solitary exception of wanting to expose the big pharma scam/con.
And here, it's my turn to disappoint you. No, I don't focus on religion as my main weapon of choice. Out of some 12 pages of closely argued text, I don't think I devote more than one para. arguing the point from a Christian perspective. The rest could have been written by a militant athiest, never mind an occultist. The article is predominantly neutral as far as religion is concerned. I simply use my faith as one argument among many to bash the cartel over the head with.
So maybe your lack of interest is, like your 'guide', misguided? Yeah, praise the Lord. Hallelujah. And Amen. Oh yeah, and let's not forget yeeehaaah eiither, for old times' sake.
Well, really sorry to be so predictable, but thanks for the permission to believe as I choose. Appreciated. For the record, I didn't create my beliefs. They existed long before I was born, and I was inexorably led to them by the evidence, which was good enough for me. It may surprise you to learn, again contrary to assumptions you have voiced elsewhere, that I was not 'born' into my faith. I actually conducted a fairly thoroughgoing 'due diligence' about Christianity before I seriously considered it.
That due diligence included such books as Who Moved The Stone? by Frank Morrison, The New Testament Documents - Are They Reliable? by Prof. F F Bruce, Runaway World by E M B Green, Ring of Truth by J B Phillips, and Difficulties in the Bible by R A Torrey, among many others. So nobody 'programmed' me, as you like to put it. I did not commit intellectual suicide either when I came to faith, which I did from a position of atheism. Despite my advancing years now, I am still in full possession of the same faculties I had before becoming a Christian, and none of my fellow-believers have ever insisted that I relinquish my capacity for independent thought in order to join the massed ranks of 'sheeple'.
Contrary to the caricature you seem to delight in portraying, we are not an amorphous mass of mindless zombies who utter amen to everything we hear. We put our own individual talents, personalities, gifts, intellects, etc to the service of our Lord, mainly in response to and gratitude for what He has done for us, and whether you acknowledge Him or not.
Of course, I don't expect any of this to make the slightest difference to your attitude to me or my faith either, but at the very least it sets the record straight on some of the assumptuions you have voiced about me, quite apart from the equally predictable vitriol you dished out earlier. I'd expect nothing less from an implacable opponent of the truth. Now, please tell me all that was predictable as well, and that you've heard it all 1,000 times before.
But despite all of that, rather than because of it, my expose might still hold a few surprises for you. Who knows?
Well, I hafta hand it to ya. I've heard of conspiracy theorists of course, and I have a sneaking suspicion that some of them advocate theories that contain more than a kernel of truth. I'm even a fan of Jesse Ventura and his show on the subject, tho I believe he sometimes stretches the point beyond what is justified by the evidence. But you manage to take conspiracy theory to a whole new level. Everybody who's ever written a book on Christian apologetics is nothing more than an agent or stooge of the elites.
Including the aforementioned Frank Morrison, for example, who also started out an atheist. He was a lawyer by profession, and therefore uniquely qualified to destroy Christianity by disproving the resurrection, which was his avowed aim. But after sifting thru all the available evidence, subjecting it to the closest scrutiny and analysis of which a legally trained mind is capable, he ended up writing a book that as good as proved the resurrection was an historical event. He also became a Christian as a result. But by your cannons of patently unsupportable revisionist history, which btw doesn't have the benefit of a single shred of historical, archeological, anthropological or astronomical evidence, he also is nothing more than a dupe of the 'elites'. Damn clever those elites. And so powerful too.
Well, as Groucho Marx famously once said, that's easy for you to say. You don't even hafta prove anything - it's all spoonfed to ya by your friend. Yet everybody else is programmed except you. Oh, sweet irony. Yes, time will indeed tell whether your version of reality holds sway. But don't be too disappointed when you see it all come crashing down around your ears. At the very least, I just hope you have someone around who loves you, and will be able to give you the support you need when you get that reality check.
Yeah, I got that. Not subject to any independent verification in the physical realm - the one in which we all live, breath, have our being, perceive thru all our senses, etc etc. Very handy.
And by all means likewise please feel free to continue with your exploration of the cosmic consciousness, which provides us with the only valid truth about the universe. If only Einstein knew that, imagine what he could have done with it. Instead all we got out of him was that E=MC2 crap, then spent another 10 years working out General Relativity. What a loser.
Well, it's been surreal, if not a pleasure. Have a great life, and look out for my humdinger of an expose. I might just give you a heads up when it hits cyberspace.
Toodle pip chuck, and please, don't have nightmares on my account. I'll be just fine, honestly.
Well, I'm very relieved to discover that I can still spell car correctly:
......especially when there are also other demands on one's time - such as said sick car that needs fixing.
Phew! Post dated 16th Dec @ 7:46:27PM, 1st para.
....so presumably your reading of the text was at fault on this occasion. But as we're all fallible, I won't hold that against you.
Hmm.......now that was an 'interesting' little detour. That post has Edit Disallowed in its header, and I cannot for the life of me see any way of getting around it. Whether or not you choose to believe that, frankly my dear, I don't give a fig. If it allowed me, I would have changed it to cat just to keep you happy.
Having said that, my main last post in the Cancer Conspiracies forum is still open for edit, so make of that what you will. My best guess is that the post remains open for editing if the author also initiated the thread. Since I'm only a 'guest' on your thread, that option isn't open to me.
Seems like a reasonable explanation to me. And since by your own admission hardly worth the candle, why did you nevertheless feel it necessary to impugn my integrity on such a trivial point? Ah yes........of course. Celeste, the father of lies (John 8:44). Well, excuse me if I ignore any further accusations emanating from him/her. I should have known.
