Don't get too hot over these...

I'm fairly new around here and I need some enlightenment.

I don't care about the fight from another thread spilling over here, but doesn't the mere mention of the Illuminati invoke one of the biggest conspiracy theories of all time? I see your point about this being a parody of conspiracy people, but by that parody they are talking about the theory (I don't buy it BTW).

They're making fun of a real conspiracy theory. Should The Daily Show be included in the "news" channel? I say yes--but conspiracy is your channel, so it's your call.

Thanks

If you have something to say about @<a rel="nofollow" href="http://videosift.com/member/marbles" title="member since May 7th, 2011" class="profilelink">marbles, at least have the courtesy to do so in his presence. Calling him out in a thread where he has not yet uttered a word is unsporting.


He/she/it is just being a douche to the nth degree because he/she/it thinks there are no such things as conspiracies and that anyone who thinks there are is an idiot. Yes ponc we all know our government would NEVER lie to us, the American people, EVER, right? I'm so glad they found those WMD's in Iraq. Or else that would mean they lied to get us into an unnecessary war.

Sorry but this doesn't qualify for my channel, it's comedy not a conspiracy *nochannel *spacy *lies *comedy

Thanks for the promote

It's amusing that you're trying to dismiss me like I was bothering you, when in fact you are the one who started this conversation. So you're an ex-christian, huh? Surely you know this verse:

2 Peter 2:22

If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning

It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.

Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

You're much worse than any backslider. You're saying you left Christianity because you observed hypocrisy amongst Christians? What a joke that is. You left Christianity because you love the things of the world more than you love God.

You should fear God, and only a fool wouldn't, but I don't think you're a fool. You know He is real, but you suppress the truth because you don't want to stop living the way you do. You have been brainwashed, by the enemy, to think little of God and much of yourself. Jesus Christ ransomed you with His blood, paid the price for your sins with His life..but sold yourself back into slavery for empty pleasures. Now you mock God, when you're the one at fault, when you're the real hypocrite.

Galatians 6:7

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

In reply to this comment by Duckman33:
Save your breath pal. I don't need or want to hear any sermons from you. Been there done that, chose to stop when I wised up and figured out that brain washing, mind control, and fanatical cults are not for me. Believe me, I don't fear you nor do I fear your imaginary god. If I did, then I'd be just like you wouldn't I?

Oh, and by the way I don't need any clues. Your brethren have clued me in on what kind of hypocrites they are time and time again. Every "Christian" I know, or have ever known is a back sliding hypocrite. They judge others while secretly behind closed doors they do the same things they just got through condemning others for in the public eye. Now please go pester someone else. This conversation is over.

You are being judged by the word of God, not by me. It isn't my judgement you have to fear. I don't personally want to know what you're up to. Yet, you do nothing in secret, because what you do is seen plainly by God, and your guilty conscience is the proof that you have offended Him. It isn't a question of if, but when you will stand before God. You need to be prepared for that day. This life is but a moment compared to eternity and the temporal enjoyment you derive from fleshly pleasure is not worth eternal consequences.

Let me give you a clue here. Just because someone says they are a Christian doesn't mean they are. And even if they are, it's in name only if they aren't following the Lord. Christ said such people will be punished. I doubt very many in the republican party are actually Christian. For the most part they are worldly people who use religion as a device to get votes. There aren't any perfect Christians, but you can certainly find many Christians who do follow the Lord. There are many I am sure in your local community. You aren't going to find them on TV.


In reply to this comment by Duckman33:
Sorry, you'll get no such apology from me. You, nor any Cristian is qualified to judge anyone. Ever. Period. What we do with our lives is non of your fucking business. The sooner you guys figure that out, the better off this world will be. When we die and if there's a god, then I guess we'll have to answer for our sins at that time. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but Christians are not the epitome of all the is good and pure. Your "Christian family values" republican politicians have proven that time, and time, and time again. So why should we listen to you hypocrites on how you think we should live our lives? We shouldn't. Because again, it's none of your business.

Have you ever actually read the whole passage? If you had it would make the meaning more evident. This is a common misinterpretation by secular people who don't understand the bible and aren't qualified to interpret it.

1 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Mk. 4.24
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

It is a warning against hypocritical or self-righteous judgement, not an admonition never to judge anything. Christians are called to judge all things as to whether they measure up to the truth, or not. Only God is the judge of a person, but we are allowed to judge a persons behavior. I didn't judge the person of UP, I judged her behavior as being reprobate.

John 7:24

Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.

Clear enough?

If we were not called to judge, we would be unable to follow instructions such as:

Matthew 7:15-16

Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?

Without judgement, it would be impossible to discern such a person. So, I am sorry to say but you are incorrect and I hope to see your apology on my profile post haste.

That's a load of shit and you know it. Nice try though. The ONLY being qualified to judge anyone or anything is God himself, if he really exists that is. Not you, not Sarah Palin, not Michelle Bachman, not Rick perry, but God.
