It was starting to look like it!<br /><br /><i>"someone I respect, Dr, D, has been gratuitously offended"</i><br /><br />Just in case you didn't notice, I was gratuitously offended by HIM, which is what provoked me.<br /><br />He calls me "foolish and arrogant", and what I said "nonsense", even as he bases his faith on silly and dubious fairytales. <br /><br />Whenever someone talks about "getting to know Jesus personally" and "having a personal relationship" with a questionable personage who has been dead for 2,000 years, it always reminds me of chatting to the guy next to me at the bus stop -- and then suddenly realizing that man is a complete LOON, who says he talks to the stars and gets his orders from the Great Golden Turtle. Wacko time!<br /><br />And the same way that the word "racist" gets bandied about in an effort to shut up people who see inequities, the word "blasphemy" is thrown at people who dare to use their brains for what it's for -- logical thought and reason.

There are many many sites which will not allow me to express my opinion, and I do not wish to stoop to their level.<br /><br />There are consequences however, and, in this instance, someone I respect, Dr, D, has been gratuitously offended. That is not fair, or just, and I apologise for that.<br /><br />However, the alternative is to be as bad as those we oppose, as I say, it is a difficult balance.Sarah Maid of Albionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685494924450312124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-28478518049477279622009-12-14T14:43:33.615-08:002009-12-14T14:43:33.615-08:00Anonymous, your insults and blasphemy simply refle...Anonymous, your insults and blasphemy simply reflect who you are and what your outlook on life is. Those who truly know Christ know Him not because of reading about Him in the Bible, although that is one source, but mostly they know Him through personal experience with Him. That sort of experience never, ever comes to anyone who approaches with your mindset, so with this attitude, you will not ever be able to come to know any more about Christ than what you can read in the Bible. Whatever you have read, you simply heap scorn upon, so your prospects for further knowledge of Christ are not good without a complete change of heart. But that is entirely up to you.<br /><br />You describe me as pompous and sneering, and that really is not the case at all. If you would meet me on the street, you would not say that at all. As to the use of the name "Dr.D", that was given to me by my co-workers at my job. It reflects the fact that I do have an earned doctoral degree (have you studied that much?). I do not think I am right next to God, nor did I expect you to be impressed. It is just a name that I was given, it is appropriate, and I use it.<br /><br />I do think that our hostess, Sarah, carries quite a burden with all the nonsense that she allows to take place in these comments. Do you have any idea how rude you have been? How completely uncivil you have been? Your behaviour is no way for people to act in an advanced, civilized society, and it reflects the label you hide behind, Anonymous. If you were to show any hint of your identity, you would be ashamed to act as you do. It is only in the anonymous sphere of the Internet that people let go of all of their inhibitions and become savages again. For shame! It is disgraceful.<br /><br />-- Dr.DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-76341045505755198712009-12-14T13:10:44.100-08:002009-12-14T13:10:44.100-08:00Actually, what happened was that I didn't e-ma...Actually, what happened was that I didn't e-mail notifications about your posts so they have been sitting in the moderation queue until I got your latest tirade.Sarah Maid of Albionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685494924450312124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-51373393128757538222009-12-14T13:00:24.089-08:002009-12-14T13:00:24.089-08:00Sarah, you told me, "I would be grateful if y...Sarah, you told me, <i>"I would be grateful if you would not make personal attacks on other commentators."</i><br /><br />Yet this pompous ass "Dr. D." is allowed to sneer at and ridicule ME without a word of criticism from you, because he sucks up to you and tells you what you want to hear. Pathetic. Your shrill and hysterical blog badly needs some balance, which you're not getting when you censor dissent. <br /><br /><i>"You are free to express your view"</i><br /><br />Apparently not, since he's allowed to post all his deluded bilge that he ”learned" from the Bible – even as he labels what I say "nonsense" -- and I'm not allowed to respond to it.<br /><br />(And I don't expect to see this posted either.

They're SO slow to learn. (I'm not a fan of Obama, but look at the alternative.)<br /><br />People keep praising "faith" like the mere fact that someone blindly BELIEVES some silly nonsense is supposed to be a good thing. Not in a sane and rational world, based on logic and reason. <br /><br />Why is it a bad thing if someone believes in the Great Golden Turtle who lives in the sky, but a GOOD one when someone actually believes there is a kind old man who lives there instead, who supposedly listens to our prayers but lets the innocent and blameless suffer horribly while doing nothing whatever to help, while the wicked go unpunished?<br /><br />And speaking of those who have been brainwashed...<i>"You really should have listened more closely in Sunday School. Jesus Christ IS the Messiah, not a wannabe. There really is quite a difference."</i><br /><br />Oh sure.... And how do you know that? Because clever men wrote it in a book two thousand years ago, in a cunning attempt to coerce the naive and gullible to do as they said? DO you call that PROOF?<br /><br />This occult "spirit in the sky" came down and impregnated another man's wife (isn't that adultery?) and his "son" who lived 2,000 years ago is supposed to have washed MY sins away? That's a good one! Loonytune time....<br /><br />You seem to have lost all your critical abilities when they forcefed you all that preposterous swill in Sunday school.

"Who comes across like an i...@ Anonymous 1:07<br /><br />"Who comes across like an ignorant and narrow-minded religious wackjob. "Faith" is only positive if it's in something sensible."<br /><br />Presumably a sane, rational person would be someone who agrees with you, right? To attack a person with a term such as "wackjob" is simply the resort of someone who really has nothing of substance to say against the other person. What do you consider to be faith in something sensible? Perhaps a frog? or maybe Barack Obama, Mr. Hopenchange himself? or maybe the current PM? But I repeat myself, because they are all covered in the initial category of frog.<br /><br />"But to hear her tell it, she does take her marching orders from messiah-like wannabes like Jesus H. Christ...."<br /><br />You really should have listened more closely in Sunday School. Jesus Christ IS the Messiah, not a wannabe. There really is quite a difference. Yes, Sarah Palin listens to what he says, so do I, and so do millions of others around the world. You might want to rethink your arrogant foolishness here.<br /><br />""Symbolically RAPING her??" I'm no stranger to hyperbole myself, but let's get serious here. Criticizing her and calling her an ignorant nutcase is hardly "raping" her. And throwing a claim like that around makes the writer sound like a hysterical twit."<br /><br />It is sad to say, but there have been numerous public calls for Sarah Palin to be raped, most of them coming from prominent women on the Left, which is utterly disgraceful. It is time to get serious here and stop talking like primitive savages. You should not suggest that for any woman, and the fact that she disagrees with you politically certainly does not justify it. It is a call for physical violence to dominate Sarah Palin and those making such calls should be thoroughly condemned.<br /><br />Ignorant people like yourself calling her a "nutcase" do not rise to this level. You simply show your own foolishness. Even if you disagree with her, if you were smarter, you would recognize that she is a very canny politician and an able leader. Rather than cast your pointless personal attacks, why don't you sit back and watch what happens. You are in for an education.Dr.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18360786634583725263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-90879284687900794242009-12-12T01:07:51.010-08:002009-12-12T01:07:51.010-08:00"Palin is a woman of deep and abiding faith.&...<b>"Palin is a woman of deep and abiding faith."</b><br /><br />Who comes across like an ignorant and narrow-minded religious wackjob.

I don't think that will help things get better in the least.<br /><br />Sarah Palin hasn't helped herself at all by saying some of the ignorant and stupid things she has.

Somehow, I missed that on AT which I usually read.<br /><br />What it says about the Left is even more important than what it says about Sarah Palin. Sarah Palin is standing up to it all, provoking it, but the fact that the Left is willing to stoop so low, has no conscience to guide it, is very disturbing. We are no longer talking about politics, but rather about civil war. The Left truly hates the conservative people of the US, and would happily see us all dead. Then they could have their communist Utopia, at least for a microsecond before it comes apart at the seams. The Left is guided by pure, unbridled hatred, leading to an "end justifies any means" approach to their efforts.
