Rodney

Yes, unlike yours.

And here I am thinking it stood for bamboozled. What a dope I am. Yeah...right. Bamboozled doesn't even start with R. Oh, right you are! Actually the "R" stands for Racist. Also, anybody else notice the coincidental release of Schindler's List on DVD this week?

Wellll, either I'm purdy darn quick on the uptake or the learning curve around here is about as steep as the Salt Flats. Do believe I've got diddly on bat, except that I hear he's been kicked out for using the unthinkable, unspeakable, highly dreaded "m" word.

Define sodomites.

VICTIM!!?? No way, since there are no such things as victims. Just ask The Opinion of The Snow, our resident free agency expert. One ALWAYS has a choice. No one to blame but oneself. Look inward, not outward. We ALL have the power--the power to choose the white hats over the black hats; the light and the delightsome over the dark and the kinky.

Is this somehow inferring that we can become victims of pornography? Victims? You mean we have no choice in the matter? That it's actually somebody else's fault when we click on to a porn site? How then is it that it's our fault if we drink alcohol/coffee/tea or smoke tobacco or don't attend church regularly or don't pay a full tithe, but it's not our fault if we get hooked on pornography? Oh yes, the Church of Pick-n-Choose can easily explain it all away.

And it came to pass, I doth smitest thee, thou lover of sodomites!

Scary, isn't it? How fast things seem to be changing--social change is always the scariest. Especially, when you've gotten so comfortable in your own little niche--when you figure YOU are living the way life was meant to be lived and anybody else who thinks otherwise is just plain wrong--sinfully wrong!! Ten years from now, many will be wondering what all the uproar was about--though I must admit, I DO faintly remember that old KSL radio sports announcer (James, was it?) screaming that a Molotov cocktail had been thrown onto the University of Wyoming basketball court...

Good try Trav. You almost had me there. I was about to call the missionaries and tell them to start filling the font. Thank goodness curvette and Snow came along in time to set me straight. Sounds like this BoM proof business is still a little sketchy. I'm dead sure we'd love for you to erase all doubt and let us tell faith to take a hike. Better luck next time.

These could just as easily be called the BEST things (advantages) of being homosexual. I can see a lot of advantages to being homosexual. For instance, if you’re homosexual: 1) You’ll truly get to know your same sex 2) You’ll never have children (some heterosexual couples even opt for this, believe it or not) 3) You’ll never have all of the other problems that are prevalent among heterosexual couples

You were there, were you? An opinion is one thing. If you liked the movie, think it was a "masterpiece," that's fine. But please don't mix your opinions with pure assertions. It's disconcerting, to say the least.

Your relatively tiny little church has been around for about 180 years. I think I'll reserve my judgement on how well it's progressing according to God's plan until after, oh, say, another 800 years?

That is so TRUE! Though it does seem a little odd that there always seems to be so many more than just one answer per question. Makes me tilt my head just a tiny little bit to one side and quietly utter, "Hmmmm."

Wow, that must be a record number of smilies in reply to a single post ever made on this chat site. Do I get a medal, a free pass, a free BoM, a gold star on my forehead? What? :) B) Oh, dag-nab-it. I just beat my own record. What prize do you want, Peace?

Yeah, that thought often discourages me too. I just can't understand why the world doesn't jump every time my superior brain offers up another perfect solution. You are starting to sound like Snow. LOL Not surprising. He is my hero, afterall.

Yes, I've done that before. So quick to make my much more important thoughts known that I didn't have time to actually read or hear or think about the comment to which I thought I was responding.

Not even a guess? This is no trap. I promise not to ridicule your conjecture. I won't even comment on it. You did say that many still believe the earth is flat. I'm just trying to understand what your term "many" meant in this particular context. Go on, be a sport. Give me a clue.

Good. Paul O Do your sentiments extend to your old flying buddy, bat? No. I wish Bat was here. Fortunately I get to talk to him on other message boards. Bat just has a hard time being good sometimes. I miss him. Paul O How about Antishock? Or was he a little too serious with his views?

I wouldn't even attempt to speculate that JS purposely arranged such a deception. I think maybe I'm talking about an innocent sort of deception--like when people thought the earth was flat. To them, it simply seemed flat. No one was deceiving them--that's just how they perceived it at the time. And it is how many perceive it today as well. How many would you say? I really couldn't say. Ten? One hundred? One thousand? One million? Take a WAG. I'm just interested in knowing your approximation.

Would that be like the best proof of Marshall Applewhite and Heaven's Gate?

Hmmmmm, probably the most interesting thing posted all day, and it gets preempted by the local thought police.

Okay. Nevermind. I'll pass.
