19.) Christians who think they know it all because, let's face it, you don't know anything... And I don't understand how anyone could remain a Christian once they begin to realize the truth behind a lot of the traditions.
1) People who are inconsistant.
Starting a sentence with 'and' is, coincidentally, grammatically incorrect.

•When people talk down to me
•When people insult me for having playing World of Warcraft
(formatting added for emphasis)
2) People who say they are able to take insults, but who become angry when someone takes them up on their offer.

•When people tell me their opinion as if it is law without acknowledging mine.
3) Biblical rules cf. Dt 13:6-10.

But HOW CAN YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT knowing that you have a few millions dollars to spare that would SAVE thousands upon thousands of lives!!
4) Hypocrites (see point 3).
Pat Robertson, the wealthiest fundamentalist Christian in the world, has donated nothing his entire career, and utilizes slave labor in a diamond mine in Africa.

N.B. I'm not referring to you, schpoogie, as a hypocrite. Your post just helps illustrate a point. Also, the reason why rich people have foundations is that they (hopefully) can encourage more people to give to charity and have more connections set up for the distribution of those contributions. If poorer people had foundations, fewer people would be moved to donating. Of course, this is not a defense of the fact that some of those people don't give much themselves; it merely shows the rationale of such foundations.

From a distance you can see the image of a man sprinting through fog and water with a hand raised aloft; as he approaches he screams "HIGH FIVE" but the thing is; he is actually riding a unicorn and not running. It turns out he is actually a kid on the other side of the internet high five-ing his computer screen.

Bad boy, you made me high my screen o_O

3) Biblical rules cf. Dt 13:6-10.

I can totally see why that would bother you; but those scriptures actually impressed me.

"Agree to disagree" - by some dude who died for disagreeing

I'm sorry, I entirely fail to see your point there.

And yet you don't follow them? Also, what happened to 'though shalt not kill'?

Yay for paradoxes.

^^^ That.

Also, cRIO, an ellipses doesn't necessarily define the beginning of a sentence. It is merely a bridging of thoughts, so it's not "technically" grammatically incorrect of me to use the word 'and' after an ellipses. Either way, it's just a forum, and at least I hope my grammar is generally correct the majority of the time.
