Incorrect.

I've frequently enjoyed pointing out God condoned genocide, particularly against the Canaanites.

Another one I like is how God forces the pharaoh to not let the Israelites go (it says God hardens his heart) that way God has an excuse to kill innocent children (plague of the firstborn).

All of this is besides the point. I pointed out your being proud of your unapologetic violence is very un-Christian. You tried to dodge by making the discussion about the Bible instead, which was fine, it's a silly tactic, but at least respectable in terms of, I don't know, the way common idiots "debate" things.

But when you pulled the "you misquoted me" thing... oh man, I've only ever seen senile people do that, to be honest.

But ok, you're getting back on track now, so go ahead and tell me how you reconcile your unapologetic violence with your spirituality.

@llama47, @UnclePeet - ayooooooooo as much as i'd love to keep the bible convo going...I'm pretty sure it's a no no on some religion or religious rule they have here?  

Unless either of you are trying to rail this thread...lol I mean go for it.  I know i've had fun on other peoples threads in times past.  haha.  

Nah, they're a lot more lenient these days.

I mean, who knows, a mod might lock it (sometimes they're hard to predict) but more than a few times I've seen them allow religious debate to go on and on this last year.

But in the past, sure, they used to lock it really quick for that.

Whenever one gets their wings I’m not hateful; I’m overjoyed.

"i'm not hateful". right after you're quoted being hateful. and arrogant. and ignorant. and self-absorbed...

so far mexi has given one of only two good reasons about why people might have guns. 

he wrote that he liked to shoot. there is nothing wrong with people like him going to a range. a guy like gomer also appears reasonable enough to handle a lethal weapon. this needs to be said, because, unfortunately, the 2nd amendment is not going away due to political influence (read: money), and we have people like exploringWAH! and unclepeter for the proliferation of any and every firearm. they are not reasonable people.

(before the usual suspects write that a car or a hammer is a lethal weapon, save it. those products have designed uses that are not for intentionally killing)

then we have the typical wrong talking points about guns being trotted out as if they are fact (washington examiner op-eds do NOT count as facts or evidence). 

guns are NOT primarily used for self-defense by non-police or military.

more guns does NOT equate to a safer environment.

more guns equals more killing.

guns are NOT for residents to protect themselves against a tyrannical government (anyone using this excuse is the opposite of a mensa member).

concealed carry is a whole other issue. many states (guess which ones) have passed laws eliminating the permitting. as if that makes the populace more safe. 

here is a link for those inclined to peruse actual information on the subject: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/10/23/most-americans-are-wrong-about-whether-concealed-carry-makes-us-safer/ note the embedded links used as citations.

finally, the second 'good' reason one might have for owning a gun is if they are an avid hunter (though, many of the hunters i have known use a bow and arrow, explaining that takes more skill). i guess i could be convinced that another reason might be collecting, like antiques or baseball cards.

…and reading the Bible…possibly the most violent book ever written. Try actually reading it.

Nahhh… not even close! I’ve never read that art of war, nor would I ever begin to but I’m sure it’s true author is every bit of the confliction in The Holy Scriptures. In fact, such that individual is the only lousy reason for the concept such as confliction, or war, or chaos, or ANY ABSURDITY.

Deuteronomy 7:1-6
'When the LORD your God brings you into the land which you go to possess, and has cast out many nations before you, the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than you, and when the LORD your God delivers them over to you, you shall conquer them and utterly destroy them. You shall make no covenant with them nor show mercy to them.”

Listen you’re totally clueless make another topic about it and I’ll enlighten you but let’s not derail the thread with basic Old Testament knowledge.

There’s not to be any religious debating on cc but your more than welcome to pm me to hear more of the True God of Unconditional Love, and not of wrath, for God IS NOT in the whirlwind. ….any further, anyone may pm me. =)

I mean really, the childishness of his statement is enormous.

I can hardly believe an adult would talk like this.

Because you are the epitome of white privilege and as such see others(and the world) in a distorted way.

I’ve told you…if you had me instead of your weak father growing up there is a chance I could have made a man out if you but it’s just too late now. It would be akin to putting a ship back into a bottle.

Technically possible but too much tediousness to warrant the effort.

Meh. Your words aren't very effective.

Avatar of llama47

Yeah but... the way you argue means you're not interested in words other than as a means to stir up emotions... so that your words are "meh" is a bigger loss for you, heh.

Why? Because you say so?

What do you mean by asking why? I already explained.
