AV: I quoted that post in my question. What do you mean? Of course I won't repeat stuff word for word a year from now. Why on earth would I want to do that?
I know you won't -- since you made those epithets up out of spite.

What?

AV, I don't commit random stuff I say to memory no matter what. My sentiment regarding that person who drew those pamphlets have been the same for about a decade (when I first encountered his nonsense) so my general statements will most likely hold in a year unless he changes.

Weren't your exact words, 'Let me guess...'?

You're still guessing, after 'about a decade'?

And you even want us to sympathize with you?

Stop playing semantics, because he's absolutely right. And even if he's wrong about Jack Chick's particular stance, the kind of attitudes fg is describing are utterly abominable regardless and are just driving people away from the church.

Quote the rest of my post, and try again.
Given that I've already relegated FG's post to an emotional and unchristian outburst, I think I'll just assume I've made my point with you guys and let it drop.

Fine. And Jack Chick will continue to be the ignorant moron he always was.

And that list will grow, won't it?

But FG predicted that, didn't he?
Ah. Yes. One of the really paranoid evangelicals. Let me guess... Right wing republican xenophobe and more, justifying it all with religious lingo and far fetch interpretations to justify his own preconceptions.

My oh my. I wonder why on earth the religious right in the US aren't deeply ashamed of such behavior/attitudes. I am, both as a Christian and as a human being

Ball's in Jack Chick's court, as it is for the people who think like him.
Oh, don't I know it.

We have to weather you guys' false accusations and emotional statements daily, don't we?

Like I said, it's no wonder someone hasn't called me a female yet, since I have 'male' in my profile.

Wah-wah. Trying being called the servant of the antiChrist and Christ-killers on a daily basis by the people who best fit that description and are in denial about it.

I mean, if there's one thing Jesus absolutely loved and encouraged everyone to do wherever possible, it's tu quoque.

Like I said, it's no wonder someone hasn't called me a female yet, since I have 'male' in my profile.

And yet people don't. That couldn't be because people question what's in your profile because it's inconsistent with what you say, could it? *gasp*

Well, I think you'll find here that most people are pretty fair-minded when it comes to gender. Female fundamentalists, in my experience, are just as competent at holding atrocious points of view as the males. So there's no need to question your gender, at any rate. Worry about your many other inconsistencies instead :thumbsup:

Ohyes. Gender=not important. Met Clirus Cabal? Pop over to fundies say the darndest things and search for her name if you want some really really juicy stuff. Genocide and the like is what we're talking about here. And yes, she's been reported quite thoroughly for that through the years.

Incidentally she's a social darwinist and a creationist at the same time. Claims both are the biblical way. As for me I disagree wholeheartedly on both counts.


Compared to her almost all fundies I've met have been very very nice people.

Funny that, she's not the first social darwinist/creationist I've met. I've actually met quite a few come to think of it.
I'm guessing AV would find her views abhorrent too.
You don't want us tohunt down and kill homosexuals, liberals, socialists, poor people and more I assume?
Thought not.

So.. While I think AV's views are not hale I certainly don't consider him a nutjob. Somewhat confused, and I'm sure he thinks the same about me, but not a nutjob.

And not because of his gender.
