Don't turn this into a religious conversation, some stuff should never be discussed online and in my opinion religion is one of them :)


true... i just don't like it when people quote the bible and twist meanings to that of what they want it to mean. it's a big book of many stories that can be very misunderstood and rightly should not be quoted in a forum that allows for many religions.


I was just explaining the definition of the expression and giving a link to it!!!

CF was like this before I joined, compared to many on here I am a "newbie".

If you want a link let me know.

... but interesting!

And that is something very few "newcomers" have brought to this forum, and most, do not appreciate the significance of posts such as the one by CBBB.

When I had inclination to post during my leisure-time, a comment such as that by CBBB would have had me leafing through the Bible to contradict him or extrapolate upon ... real 'Q.I.' stuff :D ... now it's all moans and pseudo-scenarios whenever I check. So, I just turn elsewhere (until you are gone :lol: ... and then I'll be back).

This is one of very you forums where you can actually say what you think or feel (within reason), long may it continue.
As for quoting from the bible for your actions, why is it a sin ? Millions of people have been doing this for thousands of years !

You reminded me of Pulp Fiction. That Samuel L. Jackson supposed bible quote he used in the movie is not really from the bible. Some part of it is, him and Q. Tarantino spiced it up to sound even more interesting, but the usage here and there is the same. That quote proved the point the person wanted to prove :)

by quoting the bible he has stated that the fools are those that he believes to be fools and he has a right to ridicule.

nothing interesting about ridiculing a person. having a point and an intelligent opinion is one thing. if something does not interest you it does not mean that it is "moans and pseudo-scenarios"

I think you're over reacting a bit here :) If you see something that bothers you, report it to the Admin. Try to respect others and treat them like you wanna be treated. Follow what i just told you and the world will seem a better place. Oh and never forget THIS IS THE INTERNET :P Take everything with a grain of salt.
