    I am, of course once I thought I was wrong, but I was mistaken

    I never argue as long as you agree with me.

    Ok this was just an observation. I have been places where I shouldn't have come out alive. So really nothing here bothers me. I just think that sometimes it gets personal between posters and is disrespectful to Baptist's Churches in turn making Christianity look bad. For instance this thread has turned into a joke.

    Sometimes a joke is the best thing a thread can be!

    This place reminds me of a particular Bob Dylan Song...

    They'll stone you when you're trying to be so good
    They'll stone you just like they said they would
    They'll stone you when you're trying to go home
    They'll stone you when you're there all alone
    But I would not feel so all alone
    Everybody must get stoned

    They'll stone you when you're walking on the street
    They'll stone you when you're trying to keep your seat
    They'll stone you when your walking on the floor
    They'll stone you when your walking to the door
    But I would not feel so all alone
    Everybody must get stoned

    Too bad you feel that way. I was being dead serious when I said what I said.
    I don't think it was a joke. And now you have your chance to put whomever you wish on your IGNORE LIST and keep participating.

    In any case, neither on this board nor an any other medium is it OK for Christians to resort to personal attacks. It is one thing for someone to say that I am wrong---another thing entirely to say that I am stupid, or a heretic or I'm on my way to hell.

    Amen to that...

    ....this board is like that song. And a lot of those who post here remind me of an old Steve Taylor song, "Guilty by Association!"

    Give a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UplOF-GtoS8

    Here's the words: Guilty By Association - Steve Taylor

    So you need a new car? Let your fingers talk a walk...
    Through the business guide for the "born again" flock...
    You'll be keeping all your money in the kingdom now
    And you'll only drink milk from a Christian cow.
    Don't you go casting your bread
    To keep the heathen well fed
    Line Christian pockets instead
    Avoid temptation

    Guilty by association.

    Turn the radio on to a down home drawl
    Hear a bryl-creem prophet with a message for y'all
    "Well I have found a new utensil in the devil's toolbox
    "And the heads are gonna roll if Jesus rocks.
    "It's of a worldly design, God's music should be divine!
    "Try buying records like mine, avoid temptation"

    Guilty by association.

    So you say it's of the devil and we've got no choice...'Cause you heard a revelation from the "still small voice" (Hey You!).....If the Bible doesn't back it then it seems quite clear, Perhaps it was the devil who whispered in your ear.

    Well, it's a Telethon Tuesday for The Gospel Club
    "Send your money in now or they're gonna pull the plug!"
    You just remember this fact when they plead a beg:
    When The Chicken Squawks Loudest Gonna Lay A Big Egg
    You could be smelling a crook, you should be checking The Book.
    But you'd rather listen that look, the implication:

    Guilty by association.


    Then there's his song "Whatever Happened to Sin?" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9NVO12MBN4g

    And here's the words!

    The Christian counselor wrote, quote "Who is the only humane choice ahead
    If you can't support it
    Why don't you abort it instead?"
    You say you pray to the sky
    Why?
    When you're afraid to take a stand down here
    'Cause while the holy talk reads like a bad ad lib
    Silence screams you were robbing the crib
    Say it ain't none of my business, huh?
    A woman's got a right to choose
    Now a grave digger, next you pull the trigger what then?

    Whatever happened to sin?

    I heard the reverend say"
    Gay is probably normal in the Good Lord's sight
    What's to be debated?
    Jesus never stated what's right"
    I'm no Theology nut
    But the Reverend may be a little confused
    For if the Lord don't care and he chooses to ignore, ah
    Tell it to the people of Sodom and Gomorrah

    Call it just an alternate lifestyle, huh?
    Morality lies within
    Consciences are restin',
    please repeat the question again

    Whatever happened to sin?

    When the closets are empty and the clinics are full
    When your eyes have been blinded by society's wool
    When the streets erupt in your own backyard
    You'll be on your knees praying for the National Guard

    If you don't care now how the problems get solved
    You can shake your head later, that you never got involved
    'Cause the call came a ringing from the throne of gold
    But you never got the message, never got the message
    'Cause your mind's on hold

    A politician next door
    Swore he'd set the Washington Arena on fire
    Thinks he'll gladiate them
    But they're gonna make him a liar
    Well, he's a good ole boy who was born and raised
    In the buckle o' the Bible Belt
    But remember when you step into your voting booth
    He'll never lie, he'll just embellish the truth
    Promises were made to be broken, right?
    You've gotta play the game to win
    When you need support, tell them that you born again

    Whatever happened to sin?

    Here is another great song from the 60s by Joe South. It fits the majority of the nonsense on the Baptist Board that has nothing to do with telling the Gospel. This is for you KJVO, no dancers, no lottery tickets, Landmarkers, and other such associated nonsense.

    Oh the games people play now
    Every night and every day now
    Never meaning what they say now
    Never saying what they mean


    And they wile away the hours
    In their ivory towers
    Till they're covered up with flowers
    In the back of a black limousine


    [Chorus:]
    La-da da da da da da da
    La-da da da da da de
    Talking 'bout you and me
    And the games people play


    Oh we make one another cry
    Break a heart then we say goodbye
    Cross our hearts and we hope to die
    That the other was to blame


    Neither one will give in
    So we gaze at our eight by ten
    Thinking 'bout the things that might have been
    It's a dirty rotten shame


    [Chorus]


    People walking up to you
    Singing glory hallelulia
    And they're tryin to sock it to you
    In the name of the Lord


    They're gonna teach you how to meditate
    Read your horoscope, cheat your faith
    And further more to hell with hate
    Come on and get on board


    [Chorus]


    Look around tell me what you see
    What's happening to you and me
    God grant me the serenity
    To remember who I am


    Cause you've given up your sanity
    For your pride and your vanity
    Turns you sad on humanity
    And you don't give a da da da da da

    I have had to place so many on my ignore list that some threads have no longer have any content.

    I've been on this board for 7 yrs and have gotten into some heated debates, been insulted, called names (including heretic, stupid woman, ect.), but I never, not once put anyone on ignore. If someone gets to me, I just back off. If you can't take the heat, get out of the forum! :laugh:

    I have been reading for a long time (2008), I just don't post. The ignore list is an effective filter.

    But you ARE a heretic, Amy. You deny that fried chicken was used by the Early Church.
