Hmmm, what happened

While his language may hurt his "witness" somewhat, he's got a lot more of a "witness" to hurt than you have. You've got the worst of both worlds: Very little witness AND bad language. In my book this puts him miles ahead of you, who doesn't seem to be motivated to vigorously defend a Christian worldview even if you hold one. All you seem to be capable of doing is acting as an armchair quarterback who lacks the good judgment to figure out who he should really be criticizing. The bottom line is that your priorities are out of order.

Oh and one last thing. You've made a hypocrite out of yourself. If you were properly concerned about ILA's language not matching up to his Christian values then you would have taken this issue offline and PM'd him. But you didn't do that did you? No you attacked him on the thread.
First, you do not know me or anything about my Christian spirit. I am indeed flawed as are all Christians ( even said 'damn' while teaching an adult Sunday class and got a swift kick under the table from my wife for doing so). My problem is the way you two criticize the values of others on the board but do not hold yourselves to the same standards. If we had a religious discussion, you would find me more aligned with much of what you profess here than against. I simple disagree with the pious attitudes and lack of Christian behavior you use in your criticism of others and how at least one of you wracked me for my foul language then days later use similar words. Be Christian and be consistent or knock off the pious attitudes. Besides, you are now witnessing here, just criticizing the behavior and language of others.
 






Oh, goodie: a cursing pseudo Chistian nazi spell checker.

I see you can't get enough. You even went to the "nazi" routine. Kudos to you. It only took a couple of weeks.

Just something for you to ponder. If I were all those things you claim that I am, I would constantly hit you where I know it hurts.

but.............

I don't

Anonymous people on websites who do not even know me cannot hurt me. Give it a try big shot. If you prefer, you can be the spelling GURU. Used to be a character here who was the self described Spelling Nazi. I use small case to indicate a generic use of the term nazi as a tryant as opposed to the dudes who messed up Germany.

When I did PM, he just used it as an opportunity to be a little school girl and try to make fun of me for doing so. He does not want PMs, he wants to fight on line. My CPU can whip YOUR CPU. Nyah, nyah. BETTER? Definitely more your style.

Buddy, this isn't about what he wanted. It is about what you had said was the best way to handle these situations. You are the PM king.

As for my style? It is one of making a cogent argument which is something apparently beyond you.
 






First, you do not know me or anything about my Christian spirit. I know your reticence to vigorously defend a Christian worldview on here. That says something.I am indeed flawed as are all Christians ( even said 'damn' while teaching an adult Sunday class and got a swift kick under the table from my wife for doing so). Then why are you trying to bust ILA's chops, you hypocrite?My problem is the way you two criticize the values of others on the board but do not hold yourselves to the same standards. Ah, I do hold myself to the standards I put forth. If you can't see that, then you are truly blind. You apparently want us all to sit in a circle and sing Kumbaya. Not all values are of equal worth. That's the point. I am going to vigorously assert that Christian values are superior. Others are free to advocate otherwise if they so choose. Are you so insecure that you can't engage in discussion?If we had a religious discussion, you would find me more aligned with much of what you profess here than against. I simple disagree with the pious attitudes and lack of Christian behavior you use in your criticism of others and how at least one of you wracked me for my foul language then days later use similar words. Be Christian and be consistent or knock off the pious attitudes. Dude, I am being Christian. The problem is that some on here are either so anti-Christian or so milk toast about their faith, that they go into spasms when someone vigorously, but appropriately puts forth a Christian worldview.Besides, you are now witnessing here, just criticizing the behavior and language of others.

I'm bearing witness to what a Christian worldview and it's implications for individual behavior and societies at large are. I don't know what your problem is. I'm not perfect and never claimed to be, but you are aligning yourself with a group of people, many of whom can't get the most basic, commonsense things correct. Like whether a thread has been hijacked and if it has who did it!

Let me leave you with this: If you aren't "tolerant" of those you consider "intolerant" then you are in fact as intolerant as you accuse them of being. Let that sink in. Some people, apparently you included, can stand anything but the truth. I may not be a perfect messenger, but you're going to get the truth as I see it from me. If others want to put forth their "truth" then fine. I don't whine about that the way some of you do!

I sent your buddy one PM and this make me the KING??? Doesn't take much to be your king, does it?

There is a huge difference between aligning with a given group and tolerating that group and enjoying the repartee. It is when the repartee from some interferes with the overall fun of the site that I have a problem. I only share my beliefs on a public, anonymous site if someone is in trouble or seeks answers. I am Christian, just not a website preacher or evangelist. That may be wrong in the eyes of some, but that is just the way it is.

It is when the repartee from some interferes with the overall fun of the site that I have a problem. And you are correct it is YOUR problem, not mine. We clearly see things differently. This is an excellent opportunity for you to practice the virtue of tolerance. I only share my beliefs on a public, anonymous site is some one is in trouble or seeks answers. Your call, let me enjoy the freedom to make my call without constant harping from you. I am Christian, just not a website preacher or evangelist. That may be wrong in the eyes of some, but that is just the way it is.

Yep, that's just the way it is. Just like I am the way I am and that's just the way it is. Tolerance is something you should cultivate. You are entitled to your approach. I am entitled to mine. See how that works?
 






I thought this was the PLAYground, not the CHURCHground.

One's religious or worldview affects just about everything. It screams loud and clear from Vag's post and other's posts, they just aren't conscious of it. I'm more obvious about it and the likes of you, Vag, WE, etc. have a hissy fit over it.

Things change. The Playground has changed. Get over it already.

TOLERANCE, my friends. TOLERANCE!

So no politics and no religion? I guess we should say no sports since there is a sports board right?
