See Edwin, your in college. You will one day graduate and see how the REAL world REALLY is, and works. Until then you, like Ryan, will continue to be endoctorinated too only by Lib professors that hate this country. Christian, do me a favor dont put me in the same boat with Edwin. That i find offense in . My teachers may teach me things you simply dont believe. Thats fine but there not conspiring to make everyone hate everybody and vomit at the sight of an american flag. My teachers are not promoting anti-semetism, and racism. My teachers teach me things that are neither for or against the popular opinoin as Liberal idiots do. GOD BLESS (and he does) the USA k? thanx preciate it. Ryan Edwin, there is a group here in the south that are very Anti-Jew. You seem like you would fit in pretty good. But, you might not like the pointed hat and the robes they wear. Not much of a fashion statment if you ask me. Me personaly i try to stay away from them.

Several things: Ignore Ryan Kill Osama Hang Saddam by the... Snipe Kim Jong Il Ignore Ryan Butterknife Abu Musab al-Zarqawi Pete..... Ignore Ryan Send some more tankers overseas to get that oil. (BTW, people in this country (US) complaining about getting foreign oil and yet complain about getting oil in this country [Alaska] as well? Damn, make up your minds! We need the oil, but no one wants to have the pit in their yard? Sorta like a public dump...) Oh yeah, ignore Ryan True recipe for peace

;D I didnt do it!! I defenitly agree with your methods of anit-terrorism, but us puppets have to ask the permission first tho right? Besides we might not the ACLU approval to do that being as its "cruel and unusual punishment" America has murdered 40,000,000 unborn children since 1973's ruling on abortion. Thank you ACLU for your communism and thank you liberal idiots who support them!!

AAAAHHHHH the religous tolerance. Ya know i try not to be offensive in my posts. Yes i talk about Jesus alot cuz that all i have to talk about. Thats all i care to talk about, Everynow and then ill talk about armwrestling. But the problem with my non-offensive posts is everytime i try to say something that isnt offensive SOMEONE GETS OFFENDED ANYWAY.... My first post on here was the "where did God come from" it was a generic question and wouldnt offend anyone wasnt directed to anyone and wasnt directed to any group. But man it met alot of resistance anyway. So what am i supposed to do? Be silent for your convienance? Good thing this is America...... If a doctor comes on here and all he knows is health and fitness and thats all he talks about will you (attempt to)shut him up to? GOD BLESS THE USA at this point id like to draw your attention back to the subject heading. I think we've hit on something here Ryan. You say you don't mean to offend but it seems like all your posts do wind up offending someone. Go back, really read what the person that was offended actually wrote to you, and then don't post those same things again. I don't think that's possible for you, but why not give it a try. You say your first post was "where did God come from". Why ask that on a message board that is not a religious board? There are tons of boards on the net where people communicate regarding religion and their questions pertaining to it. Go there to ask those questions. Better yet, ask at school. Isn't that what you're there to learn? You say you come on here to talk about religion because that's "all I have to talk about" and that's "all I care to talk about". Why here? Again, this is not a religious forum. Go find the message boards that are and communicate there regarding religion. You asked "If a doctor comes on here and all he knows is health and fitness and thats all he talks about will you (attempt to)shut him up to?" That's an easy answer - NO. But see, that's where you don't seem to understand what really is offensive to others and where you seem to being always going wrong. If a doctor came on here and talked about health and fitness because that's "all he knows" cannot even be compared to what you are doing. A doctor is highly educated in his field and practices it on a daily basis. YOU, Ryan are NOT highly educated in the field of religion. You are going to school TO LEARN, therefore religion is not all you know nor are you expert enough in your religious faction or any other religious faction to speak out for or against it. This is the sole problem. So stay in school, learn whatever you chose to learn, and then, ONCE you become highly educated in your field, speak to those that chose to listen or ask you questions. Until then, accept the fact that you are no different than anyone else that has ever been in school - you still have a lot to learn!

I couldnt have said it better than Karen did, but I do have a question. Ryan, why is it you ask Christian not to insult you (which i dont really think he did) when you are the most insulting person on this message board. Well easily one of them. At leats the others are insulting about armwrestling and not people's way of life or beliefs. You asked Christian not to place you in the same boat as Edwin, yet you put yourself in that boat long ago. I dont know why Edin is in that boat as I do not even read topics on politics really. I just scroll over most of them. Too many opinions to be had there. I did read Christian's post though and didnt see how he was insulting to anyone, much less you Ryan. Take a look in the mirror before you start calling the kettle black.

I wasnt really offended with Christian it was sarcasm.
Edwin, I apologize for calling you a racist. Tho it does come off pretty strong. Maybe im wrong.
Karen, This is an off topic forum is it not? Does that mean EVERYTHING except religion? Not to sound arrogant but i think im pretty well educated in that. Ive been studying it for 12 years and YES i have alot to learn i wll never stop learning.
If something i posts offends you i dont mean for it to offend but if it does, not much i can do about it. Im not going to take back something i said unless i come to realize it isnt true. If you show me something where i offended someone with absolute lies and can prove that it is not true then i will apologize ad denounce what ive said. Until then........ this is an off topic forum, even then it will still be an off topic forum.

Until then........ this is an off topic forum, even then it will still be an off topic forum. You are how old now? 23? So you started "studying" religion at the age of 11? Not offending you but just how much "studying" do teenagers do? Especially "extra" studying? I raised two teenagers and believe me they don't like to study at that age much less extra studying. You had to do the studying that was required Monday thru Friday just for school and then find time for religion too. But, now you are in school solely for religious study. That's great - just remember though - the truths you will find are of your own choosing, found by the teachings you are influenced by. This is fact Ryan not attack or ridicule or arguing. It's no different than learning anything else that is taught. If you were truely well educated in religion you would have learned many traits that you absolutely have not exhibited on this board. Traits such as understanding, respect for others beliefs, openmindedness, and above all, the ability to listen and not be judgemental. You have not offended me in anything you have posted regarding the Bible. I was raised on the Bible and in church. I know what I was taught and I know what I believe. It was truely interesting in my house growing up with a mother who was extremely religious and a father that is a geologist. Science versus religion made for some interesting dinner table discussions. You offend me along with others in your posting of your opinions and beliefs. Your posts don't have to be lies in order to offend. It's your insults that do that. I do NOT believe everything that you do nor will I ever. The difference being - I can accept that you feel differently toward certain things than I do. Do I consider you wrong? Do I consider you blasphemous? Absolutely not. I consider you have a different belief than I and I respect that. You need to learn to do the same. I don't have the right or the authority to tell you that what you believe is wrong because that is what you have been taught and choose to believe. Learn this Ryan above and beyond anything else. You do not have that right or authority either. You believe that what you believe is truth and fact. Fabulous, I'm happy for you. I believe that what I believe is what I believe. None of us will truthfully know if it is truth and/or fact until we die will we? Until then, all we have is belief! Stop trying to take that away from others simply because it differs from yours. You do NOT have all the answers. You do NOT have all the facts. You do NOT have all the truth. Can I suggest this please. IF there is a topic that is religious, someone else or yourself starts it, then by all means exercise your right to freedom of speech. However, bear in mind, your right to freedom of speech does not allow you to do so at the expense of others. Otherwise, try to keep your religious comments out of all the other topics. Now remember when you're posting on a religious thread, be respectful. Accept the fact that others may not believe the same and learn to engage them in a healthy, learning discussion. Open your mind to the fact that you do not have all the answers, facts, and truths. You might be surprised what you could learn. You also might be surprised how much others might listen. Ryan I do admire you in that you seem to have found your "path in life" and are determined to go forward on it. The majority of our youth could care less so you are to be commended. The only fault I find is that you choose to tromp down that path with cleats on squashing everyone's toes that gets in the way. Put on some dancing shoes my friend and enjoy the waltz. You can have millions of partners and it's surely a much happier way to travel.

im sorry Edwin but i dont agree with you about things that you have written.im not going to involve with this very deeply because a tough competetion is waiting for me. And here you said you weren't going to involve with this very deeply. I can't imagine what you would do if you didn't have a tough competition coming up and you did get involved deeply. Just kidding you my friend.

You are how old now? 23? So you started "studying" religion at the age of 11? Not offending you but just how much "studying" do teenagers do? Especially "extra" studying? I raised two teenagers and believe me they don't like to study at that age much less extra studying. You had to do the studying that was required Monday thru Friday just for school and then find time for religion too. But, now you are in school solely for religious study. . I failed and dropped out of high school. I dropped out in 9th grade. When i was 12 there were several things that pointed to my dieng at the age of 18, the doctors even told me so. So i figured if im going to die before i graduate i might as well study somthing worth studying. Though the fear of was not of God, he used it for his good. If you were truely well educated in religion you would have learned many traits that you absolutely have not exhibited on this board. Traits such as understanding, respect for others beliefs, openmindedness, and above all, the ability to listen and not be judgemental. I understand why people believe what they believe, I dont hate on people for that. I respect people for opposing beliefs, it helps me question my own faith and learn more about why i believe what i believe. Im very open minded to peoples opinoin and thoughts but i am closeminded as to what truth is. It either lines up with the word of God or it isnt truth, thats my belief, believe it or not is your choice. If truth is open to an individuals interpretation then its not truth its perspective and opinoin, though it still may or may not be truth. I do listen. But the bible that ive been studying, on the contrary to popular belief and opinion, teaches me that I DO HAVE THE RIGHT AND AUTHORITY TO MAKE A RIGHTEOUS JUDGMENT. This does not mean i judge you to hell or heaven. This does not mean I judge in any other way than what the bible teaches we can make judgments in. I do not judge your heart or anyone else Thats is Gods Job. But i do have the right to speak up on what the bible says on a particular issue. And it may be that the bible denounces certain philosophy. If you dont like that take it up with God not me. You may not agree or believe what i just said but thats ok im ok with you disagreeing. (see i do respect others for their beliefs)
