@shinyblurry
1.you do not know me
2.i did not go through your pq and downvote all your videos.i downvoted two if i recall correctly and it was not via your que.
3.i am not prejudice against christianity.i am prejudice against religious fundamentalism..of any kind.this is not to imply that i am inherently against you..as a human being or person but i am against your rigid fundamentalist stance.i am totally ok with you being you..in fact i insist you be exactly who you are.i respect that.
4.my accusation of you was valid based solely on your judgement of another christian and solely based on YOUR comment to that other christian.
5.my comment was not directed towards you in particular but rather to the many who are following this thread and are not people of faith.to give them a modicum of understanding on why a religious person defends the bible as historically accurate and many other points that they may deem holy writ.it had nothing to do with you nor your conversations with others.i was attempting to give context and understanding.
6.i call you a fundamentalist because that is what you are,because by definition thats exactly how you behave.this was done not as a perjorative but more as a statement.you have stated more than once how you view biblical writings as the word of god.i am just basing my assertation on YOUR words.it is YOU who are projecting emotive feelings into my words but that was not my intent.you are a fundamentalist.if you wish to attach negative connotations to that word that is your choice and has nothing to do with me.
7.your opinion of me is irrelevant as well as your limited presumptions concerning me (but please dont stop assuming you know who i am...that shit is entertaining as all hell).
8.calling me names and behaving in such a passive aggressive manner only proves my points concerning you.
9.i have stated over and over i do not engage with fundamentalists.is this concept hard for you to understand? if you wish to talk about movies,sports or music i would happily engage with you but i refuse to engage with a fundamentalist anything concerning religion or faith.
10.and finally and most importantly:you do not know me.

@enoch

evil is subjective based on ones perception.
moral relativism.

If what is bad can change, then what is truly bad? Todays outrage could be tomorrows acceptence. If evil is only what people agree is evil, then if everyone agreed the holocaust is good it would be. Again, this is an excellent benchmark. If your system of morality could ever define the holocaust as being good you can safely throw it away. The truth is that some things are absolutely wrong, and everyone knows it. We all have a God given conscience which convicts us for those things we know are inherently wrong.


a fundamentalist struggles with three basics:
1.original sin
2.creation as put forth in genesis
3.the resurrection

the fundamentalist does not struggle in the beliefs of these three things but rather they struggle to defend them,because all three are easily vivisected.

A, I categorically reject and dismiss your label of "fundementalist". It's a loaded term denoting a radicalism or extremism to someones viewpoint. It's not radical or extreme in the context of Christianity to believe in the bible. That is one of its primary tenants that scripture is the word of God. That people are liberal with it is called apostacy.

B. Those basics are easily doubted, or scoffed at..but vivisected? Hardly. Unbelievers and pagans have struggled for centuries to dismantle them, but have not made one iota of progress. I find most peoples objections to these are easily refuted and are based on systemic misunderstanding and personal prejudice.

what most free-thinking people have a hard time comprehending (understandably so) is why a fundamentalist will continue to defend these three in particular when the evidence is overwhelmingly the opposite.

Gee, that's an objective statement. I love how you just deign to jump into the middle of a conversation and start throwing around this tripe, as if you're the arbitor of this discussion. Your intellectual prowess is not only unproven, it is very questionable..for example, the last statement you pronounced to everyone in one of my videos was an immature little diatribe about how little you thought of Christianity and me in particular..a shameless and unbalanced emotive rant showing your undeniable prejudice..and when I didn't take your bait, you got mad and searched through my personal que and downvoted my videos. lol.

blah blah blah blah blah

How about you join the discussion instead of venting your ignorance..you can start by addressing the first paragraph of my reply.

From the yt info:

Mercedes Sosa canta Gracias a la Vida - Letra de Violeta Parra

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me dio dos luceros que cuando los abro
perfecto distingo lo negro del blanco
y en el alto cielo su fondo estrellado
y en las multitudes el hombre que yo amo.

Gracias a la vida, que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado el oido que en todo su ancho
graba noche y dia grillos y canarios
martillos, turbinas, ladridos, chubascos
y la voz tan tierna de mi bien amado.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado el sonido y el abedecedario
con él las palabras que pienso y declaro
madre amigo hermano y luz alumbrando,
la ruta del alma del que estoy amando.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado la marcha de mis pies cansados
con ellos anduve ciudades y charcos,
playas y desiertos montañas y llanos
y la casa tuya, tu calle y tu patio.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me dio el corazón que agita su marco
cuando miro el fruto del cerebro humano,
cuando miro el bueno tan lejos del malo,
cuando miro el fondo de tus ojos claros.

Gracias a la Vida que me ha dado tanto
me ha dado la risa y me ha dado el llanto,
asi yo distingo dicha de quebranto
los dos materiales que forman mi canto
y el canto de ustedes que es el mismo canto
y el canto de todos que es mi propio canto.

Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida
Gracias a la Vida

Translate to English:

Mercedes Sosa - Thanks to life or Thanks Giving(Violeta Parra)

Thanks to life (Thanks Giving), which has given me so much.
It gave me two beams of light, that when opened,
Can perfectly distinguish black from white
And in the sky above, her starry backdrop,
And from within the multitude
The one that I love.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me an ear that, in all of its width
Records— night and day—crickets and canaries,
Hammers and turbines and bricks and storms,
And the tender voice of my beloved.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me sound and the alphabet.
With them the words that I think and declare:
"Mother," "Friend," "Brother" and the light shining.
The route of the soul from which comes love.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me the ability to walk with my tired feet.
With them I have traversed cities and puddles
Valleys and deserts, mountains and plains.
And your house, your street and your patio.

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me a heart, that causes my frame to shudder,
When I see the fruit of the human brain,
When I see good so far from bad,
When I see within the clarity of your eyes...

Thanks to life, which has given me so much.
It gave me laughter and it gave me longing.
With them I distinguish happiness and pain—
The two materials from which my songs are formed,
And your song, as well, which is the same song.
And everyone's song, which is my very song.

Thanks to life (Thanks Giving)
Thanks to life
Thanks to life
Thanks to life

Oh, and length 5:29. Now I have to watch again to catch what she said after the song!

@ant, actually I do have some room in my que, so done, Dave Mirra takes Lana Drifting in a Subaru...

...eat what?!

Never watched Coneheads for one?

Alright, I'm from Texas. That should provide stereotype cannon fodder enough.

As for Francais, I know a little Cajun French. However, before I demonstrate my acumen or lack thereof, I think I need the above query satisfied.

As to Rennes,...read a bit about Rennes Le Chateau and seen a bit of footage. It looks to be a magnificent region.

Zut alors, un Francais - sacre bleu! J'espere que tu as mange ton croissant deja aujourd-hui!

Phew! While I lived in Rennes for six months over ten years ago, writing French was never my strong point. I am well versed in French stereotypes, however. So be warned...

OFFICIAL QM RELEASE ON THE RELEASE OF THE TELEPROMPTESIDENT'S LONG FORM BIRTH CERTIFICATE.

Jokes aside, I've always maintained the possibility that His Earness was hiding something with the birth certificate. There's still plenty he's hiding that reflects upon his true character and abilities, FAR too much for the presidency.

That Obama allowed opposing voices to escalate for this long is another sign of ineptitude.

Does this latest release change how those who oppose the course of Obama's disastrous presidency feel about the man personally? Imagine for a moment, my liberal friends, that it was proven--to your satisfaction--Iraq had WMD in 2003 (you won't entertain even the possibility, as this sift never made it out of the que).

Would you have still opposed the war and hated Bush? There's your answer.

Do those who oppose Obama hate him because he's (half) Black? Some do, but the left now likes to proclaim that being upset with corruption and incompetence from anyone but Whites is "racism". This is ridiculous in the extreme.

This latest stunt doesn't help high unemployment, high gas prices or the sinking dollar.
Two more years and Ears can take his long form to the unemployment office.

dammit.was gonna pop this outta que for ya but its *dead
