Regarding Rip Taylor

[Winchester]

My use of Rip Taylor as my current avatar has elicited raeg from a phatmasser. I remember once inspiring teh raeg from someone named Budge for using Johnny Depp's beloved Captain Jack Sparrow. Apparently, flamboyance is a problem for non-Christian bibliolators. I suspect the same thing that drives one to adopt a ridiculous showboat [s]religion[/s] religious movement based on screaming and historical insanity has a connection with the hatred of flamboyance and the immediate conclusion that this means a dedication to practicing homosexuality. I really only know that Rip Taylor is a madcap genius whose life has been a symbolic commentary on the military tactics of Napolean Bonaparte.

I remember the $1.98 Beauty Show and it was hilarious.

I don't even know what a Rip Taylor is

[Vincent Vega]

I thought he was The Whosoever?

[Hubertus]

I'm not familiar with him either.

But I didn't boycott the Lord of the Rings movies because of Ian McKellen... if that lends to the discussion.

It was I who made that comment

Philippians 4
8  Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy - meditate on these things.  9  The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

James 1: 27  Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Keep oneself unspotted from the world!

By the way George Takei aka Sulu is a practicing homosexual as well...is this done purposely? Are you taking a stand in support for homosexuality? Don't take this the wrong way...I don't know you or your struggles or your stance on this subject. I am not trying to ridicule you as you try to do with me...I ask you this wanting to know your reasoning.

I thought man was totally depraved? Are we then to isolate ourselves from every mortal being (including ourselves...?)?

[Winchester]

Yes, you're very holy. You've pointed that out since you got here.

You've decided that people, like God, are simple. Thus you decide to never take seriously the correct things a person may say, if that person has adopted (or seems to adopt) the sins you've decided entirely discredit them. See, I chose Rip Taylor because he is flamboyant. I know flamboyance freaks out bibliolaters, unless it's a flashy preacher screeching on stage like a deranged lunatic. Then it's okay to flounce about. You might not be like that, but you focused on Rip's practicing homosexuality (which I suspected, but never looked into). Mission accomplified.

See, people like you read some stupid books about the Bible. You read absolute croutons translations of the Bible. You probably don't know "alone" is an interpolation. You probably believe all the little black legends about Catholicism. You sure as hell don't understand that words like "worship" and "pray" have meanings beyond the colloquial. I used to try debating with people like you. For years I banged my head against the thick wall of unadulterated stupidity that passes for theology amongst your ilk.

Right now, I'm done with that. As soon as I see one of you start quoting from your bastardized translations, I know I've just found another autodidact Christian. I called you a bibliolator. You're not one. You [i]worship [/i]bibliolators. You're a bibliolatorolator. Get off the internet, pick up a Catechism, and return to the Church.

I'm pretty sure all lunatics are deranged.

1 John 1:4  You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.  5  They are of the world. Therefore they speak as of the world, and the world hears them.  6  We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.

I will put up something acknowledging how terribly wrong my attitude about this whole thing is. Maybe I just did.

It's all good...I'm just jealous that I don't have a profile picture...jk...I at times react in the same manner and then feel wrong about it...that's the flesh...and so the saying goes...if I may..."murder your flesh"

The good thing is we are all children of God. We are brothers...whether we like it or not...we are family...Romans 8:16-17 The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if only we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

Oh by the way I do know and understand what the words worship and pray means...I'm not as dumb as you may think.

I think you didn't see the post before this, which was one of my tirades, which is based not so much upon you, as upon my experiences over the course of years.

Which means my reaction to you is not really a reaction to you. Which means my reaction is unfair. I was thinking about this in my drive to and from Home Depot. So I'm going to take time off from responding to you, because I can't remember anything you've done to deserve a real tirade like that. I'll respond when I have something useful to say that is also courteous.

Yes, this is a sort of apology. I'm being an arrogant prick, and I don't think anything I've said is funny enough to make that tolerable.

[Louie]

I did read it several times and was going to respond to it in the same manner so I understand how you feel...Like I said I do the same thing at times...don't kick yourself in the dirt...there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus...just conviction...which is a good thing...cause when we don't feel conviction...that's when it's bad...Grace and Peace to you!

I'll tell you what...pray for me...and I will pray for you?

And this is a good deal; I accept.

"Stop judging, that you may not be judged.

For as you judge, so will you be judged, and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you.

[b]Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye?[/b]

[b]How can you say to your brother, 'Let me remove that splinter from your eye,' while the wooden beam is in your eye?[/b]

You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.

"Do not give what is holy to dogs, or throw your pearls before swine, lest they trample them underfoot, and turn and tear you to pieces.

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.

Which one of you would hand his son a stone when he asks for a loaf of bread, or a snake when he asks for a fish?

If you then, who are wicked, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give good things to those who ask him.

"Do to others whatever you would have them do to you. This is the law and the prophets.

"Enter through the narrow gate; for the gate is wide and the road broad that leads to destruction, and those who enter through it are many.

How narrow the gate and constricted the road that leads to life. And those who find it are few.

"Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but underneath are ravenous wolves.

[b]By their fruits you will know them[/b]. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Just so, every good tree bears good fruit, and a rotten tree bears bad fruit.

A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a rotten tree bear good fruit.

Every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.

So by their fruits you will know them.

"[b]Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father in heaven[/b].

[b]Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name? Did we not drive out demons in your name? Did we not do mighty deeds in your name?'[/b]

[b]Then I will declare to them solemnly, 'I never knew you. Depart from me, you evildoers.'[/b]

"Everyone who listens to these words of mine [u][b]and[/b][/u] acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock.

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. But it did not collapse; it had been set solidly on rock.

And everyone who listens to these words of mine [b]but does not act on them will be like a fool who built his house on sand[/b].

The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and buffeted the house. And it collapsed and was completely ruined."

When Jesus finished these words, the crowds were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
