Rockres,

If you think it through, you will conclude that they do not have the right to believe whatever they want.  Analyze your statement and you will come to the right conclusion on this - - - I will not get any more specific than that.

Reiterating what Craig said, I am simply amazed that other Christians and Christian leaders are not offended by this mans distortion of their own religion.  I suppose that they just feel that it is politically incorrect to question this mans distorted views.  That in and of itself is insulting to those who follow the real Christian faith.  For example, Marla, Craigs wife is a Christian (Roman Catholic).  She is a very moral person and takes her Christianty very seriously.  She is highly offended by this man everytime she reads the newspapers and he says something else which is extremely anthithetical to her Christian values.  Simply stated, she is offended by ire-lands interpretation of things.  You just do not go around bullying people like this man is doing because it is plain and simply not the Christian thing to do.  She can not stand the fact that this man claims to be a Christian because his behaviour belies that notion.  She can not be the only one in town who feels that way about things, of that I am certain.  As for myself, I am nominally Christian, but do not practice it at all.  I was raised that way but do not practice yet I do find this mans behaviour offensive nonetheless.  He gives Christianity a real bad name, indeed.

Daniel

He certainly has the right to believe in anything he wants - and his followers are allowed the same privledge in my book. What is also most certain, is that this egotistical man has subverted my religion (Christinanity) for his own gain (my opinion). It is truly amazing the things he is trying to get over on our town, and shame on his followers for not speaking up against this man.

It is my opinion that this project will never come to fruition at 140 GPR for many varied reasons (so don't sell yet Craig!) what will certainly happen is that this un-pious snake charmer will try and sue the pants off of us...that is if the DEP does not step up and make the correct decision on the complete (???) plans for re-development.

p.s. - I would suggest some serious down time for the Dr rEV. for bible study and deep reflection as to Christian values - it's all in the book rEV....

1.  The word IS analogize .... Look it up.

2.  Anyone can BELIEVE anything they want to.  Verbalizing it and/or acting upon it is a different topic altogether.

Craig,

You have been running your mouth off for way too long.  You can pretend to be Daniel, you can claim your wife agrees with you, you can claim you have inside info on the Agilent property.  When all is said and done you are a big fat NOTHING.  You have not been to a planning board meeting in months, you run your mouth on and on with NOTHING to say.  YOU have problems with the CC application is way too focused on WHO CC is and WHAT they believe.  Why do you feel that YOU have the right questions someones beliefs?  It is RATIONAL to question the application, not what the applicant believes in.

 

 

 

 

Hey RT

Looks like you have been hitting the absolute again.  You need to find more spiritual method to release your tension. 

And one more time, I am not CRAIG.  I am DANIEL.  I am living at 136 Meriden Road here in RT.

Come on over right now and you can sit down and have a nice chit chat with both Craig and Myself.

As for contributions, you have made a grand total of ZIP, Nadda, Null, None!  But I understand.  Your mind is a bit too feeble to put together a reasoned out argument on anything that you attempt to tackle.

If you are comming over, please ring us up first.  We are listed in the phone book.

Looking forward to seeing ya soon, a$$hole.  Don't worry, nobody bites here.  Craig will probably offer you a beer or whatever you like to drink.

Craig,

They have meds for conditions like yours.  How is Sybil doing?

 

Ah, but there's the thing ...  I don't know what's typical or atypical of any (religious) group's code of ethics.   Not only am I not a Christian, I am also not a member of any organized religion or religious group.

 

-B.

 

 

The messages I posted in this thread were in regards to the following statement: << .... you will conclude that they do not have the right to believe whatever they want. >>
I continue to maintain that a person has the right to believe whatever they want, no matter how arcane that might be ... they do NOT, however, necessarily have the right to act upon the given belief.

<<Since you are admitedly not knowledgable about religion.. >>
Whoa!  I'm flummoxed at how you came to that conclusion given that all I said was that I do not know what's typical or atypical about a given group's code of ethics.  That I'm not a member of any organized religion can't have anything to do with it since it doesn't take a rocket scientist to know how to make a rocket, right?  (careful:  I'm analogizing again!) 

<< This thread is all about Christianity. >>
I was not aware that this message thread was limited ONLY to the topic of Christianity.  (proof:  check the "Topic" line on all my messages in this thread). My bad for having digressed into a more banal chat about freedom of thought.

 

Sleep well,

 

-B

You know Craig, you're a real ****.

 

Do our entire town a favor. Shut The F^ck Up. You've caused enough problems for our town with your foul, ignorant bigotry.

No one here respects you or wants to hear your opinion

You have no credibility since your are a known (and published) bigot

You spout off yet don't even go to the meetings anymore.

FU Craig. You Sybill freak asswipe

One more thing which is pertinent to this thread, RT.  If you are a Christian, you consider your behaviour on this bbs to be a real shining example of Christian virtue?  Is cursing out a stranger within the purview of well intended Christianity?  Or are you one of those Christians who figures that you have the license to say or do anything that you like because at the end of the day (or lifetime) you will receive redemption unlike non-Christians?  U better go do a little soul searching my friend, and keep off the sauce.

In the interest of living up to my so called reputation, I am responding to you.  I have no plans of shutting up, so get used to it buddy or learn how to type only when you have something useful to say.  BTW - is calling a stranger an ASSWIPE part of the Christian doctrine?  It is interesting that you have called me that name and a bunch of other names under the basic thread called "Is This Christianity?"  I have done a lot of useful things here.  List below exactly what you have done:

 

Oh, I see, you have done so much that you can not even remember what you have done.  Typical.

Lol...AS$WIPE...I love that word. Yes, By your ponderous nonsensical blustings, and your horrible treatment of some people's take on religion; I proudly proclaim you KING OF ALL AS$WIPES. TA DAH!!

 

So, you assume because I think your a bigot, I'm Christrian. You're really not as smart as people think you are, Craig. I am not but nor am I religious. Not in the slightest. I haven't stepped foot in a Church, Synagogue. Mosque, or Shrine in years.

But I can still tell when someone is an AS$WIPE.

Stop AS$uming, stop putting people down because they think a different way than you, go to PB meeting before you critique them. And maybe you will be dethroned as THE KING OF ALL AS$WIPES. TA DAH!!!!

RT,

All you have show with your comments is that, since you are a Christian, you are just as intolerant of other religions as Ireland is.  If you consider yourself Christian, I would have to assume that all other Christians are totally embarassed by your behaviour on this board.

The only thing that I am intolerant of is religious intolerance.  Christ Church is religiously intolerant, just as you are.  It is your way or no way and that is intolerant.  And, if you get into trouble, you just ask for forgiveness and all is well with the world.  Well, it just does work that way my good friend. 

I think that we now know who the asswipe is.  Look in the mirror, buddy.

Daniel

ps - I noticed the complete lack of a listing of contributions made by yourself to this discussion.  If you look back on mine, you will find them too numerous to count.  And also, most of my prognostications thus far have come to pass.  So, maybe it is time you started listening to what I have to say instead of blathering all over your bib cloth.

You have done nothing!  If you had any brains you would realize that my prognistications about things like the following came true:

1. I predicted that Megachurches are the same in the eyes of the law as churches and Gigachurches.

2. I predicted that the Highlands bill would do nothing for us

3. I predicted that Ireland would get an exemption

4. I predict (in the future) that our request for review will be either turned down or the case will be thrown back to the DEP after which they will decide that their original thinking regarding the exemption was correct.

5. I predicted that this man is building for 20,000 and not 5000.

6 I discoverd his community development corporation which other people were not aware of.

7. I discovered that Ireland has purchased another 10 acres of land in town.

And I can go on and on.

As for you - - - I guess that your Santa Claus on a Crucifix was about as sophisticated as you will ever get.  That was pretty disgusting and blatently anti Christian. 

So, you cut the crap bozo.
