A religion question for Robroy,but will he give me a straigh

robroy:
So…Silence shhhhhh.

In my last post 2 or 3 posts…did I finally give Sploomy the ‘‘straight answer’’ he asked from me in his o/p?

Have I succeeded in finally getting him to shut up about all this cack?

Has he finally accepted I am a lost cause in all this type of stuff?

Has he finally admitted defeat?

Stay tuned. :laughing:

You know he isn’t going to stop, he can’t, (EDIT: he has continued to do so even while I’m typing this post), his compulsive delusion won’t let him.

You personally Rob have been specifically targetted as a “problem case” with “the elders” (ie Scammers-in-Chief), for Sploom’s failure to convert you (there must be some kind of points system at work), to the point where Sploomy is looking for “Divine Intervention” to convert you, if their God was real he’d be on your case big style.

You can’t make an irrational person rational by the use of rational argument. A 21st Century person who genuinely believes in the reality of biblical mythology is a lost cause.

What I find worst is that, not content to dwell in his own delusionary world, Sploom has the unbridled arrogance to believe that anyone who has an alternative approach to life is automatically wrong and needs to be “saved” by conversion to his particular brand of biblical insanity.

In that respect, the comparison to 1930’s ■■■■ Germany is painfully relevant; I seen no difference between Sploom continually posting his biblical verses (and continuing to do so despite being told none of us are interested), and Joseph Goebbels ■■■■ propaganda, apart from the fact that JG left university with a Doctorate, while Sploom freely admits he has nothing to show paperwise for his time in secondary school.

I only post on this thread.The rest of this forum has become impossibke for me to use because,even if I post something unrelated ,the subject of religion is brought up

I have some sympathy with Sploom as I suffered with the same affliction – albeit at a younger age when my free will was limited.

About once every 3 months an American ‘Evangelist’ would visit my Parent’s Baptist Church, they all followed the same formula which was to fire up the audience into an emotional/ecstatic state and then finish off with a period of repetitive calls for people to come to the front and be saved.

It is a highly effective technique and many were sucked into it, I think for the majority the Euphoria wore off and they went back to their normal lives, but some – probably like Sploom - kept coming back for more and another hit, just like junkies.

When I was about 11 I was taken to a Stadium show with the once world Famous evangelist Billy Graham with Roy Rogers and his TV & film horse ‘Trigger’. That ended in a ‘Mass Conversion’ with hundreds going forward to be saved.

When you look at it in the cold hard light of day it is nothing but Show Business, but cold and calculating looking to capture as many as possible.
It destroys families and breaks relationships with children, and for those children unable to break away they are sadly handicapped for life.

For those that have never been ‘Saved’ the nearest parallel is MDMA or Ecstasy, it’s just not nearly as good but dangerously habit forming.

Probably the most important event in my life was breaking free from it and being able to think freely and live my life according to much more humane and moral standards.

If you spend a lot of time talking about my education failures.Have you asked the other druvers what qualifications they have?
This is why I would never do that mensa iq test,because,if I did,you would be using itagainst me if my score wasnt high enough.It would be used as a stick to beat ne with,so I would have the foresight not to do the test.There are no entrance exams fir Heaven.Just trusting in Jesus is enough.

As long as you keep posting on this thread,I am patient to keep answering in the best way I can.It reminds me of the Northern Ireland peace process,it seemed impossible for both sudes to agree,but so long as there was dialogue,eventually,there was results.
Jesus is the only way to eternal life.Its on His terms,not ours.Its funny,I cant imagine having a minset that this life is the end.I mean,for me,the best years have gone.Ive got more yesterdays than tomorrows and to think,thats it,eternally gone and forgotten eventually.You leave this life,people grieve for a period,but then they will laugh again,and within a couple of generations,we are forgotten completley,the world keeps spinning just as if we were never born,but you look back and you exchanged the glory of God for the things ,the temporary things this world offers.It was a very poor exchange.
AND THEY WILL THROW THEM INTO THE FIERY FURNACE, WHERE THERE WILL BE WEEPING AND GNASHING OF TEETH. - MATTHEW 13:42

Which is total bollox, During the period when the contents of the Bible were written only the Lords & Masters had access to education and it was mainly the Priesthood who could read & write.

Fear of the Lord was only too real, there were many Lords and they ruled the roost, some may say they still do.
WE have a house set aside for them to rule over us:- ‘The House Of Lords’ there are around 779 of them, including 26 bishops of the Church of England - the only legislative body apart from Iran to have statutory imposed clerics .

You feared the Lord and followed his teachings & his knowledge, not yours - if not a painful death followed.

It wasn’t until 1321 that the beginning of the end of Serfdom began and only ended when Elizabeth I freed the last remaining serfs in 1574.

You could say that it carried on until after the 2nd World War until the National Health Service was formed in 1947, but for Amazon workers and many others it is a long way from over.

The issue in question was that that of propaganda being used to brainwash susceptible subjects (despite your protestations, you are brainwashed); I was merely highlighting the educational differences between the source of the insane ■■■■ propaganda and your insane biblical propaganda.

Most people on here can successfully use the built-in spellchecker, why do you ignore it?

No one needs to do the Mensa IQ test, unless they want to join Mensa, IQ tests measure nothing except the ability to score well on an IQ test, like polygraphs (lie-detectors), they are meaningless.

Why can you not understand one simple fact? That the rest of us are not interested in verses from your Big Book of Fairy Stories. Personally I find there is better spiritual advice in books such as Lord of the Rings, at least Tolkein was honest that his stories were fictional, and don’t require any “fear”. Your quotes merely confirm that you are dangerously unbalanced, and what’s more, sociopathic, in that you have no empathy with others point of view, which is demonstrated by your repeated, unwanted fairy story verses.

I think my previous post is a suitable and appropriate answer to that. :smiley:

Scripture doesnt allow much leeway for getting into Heaven.Jesus describes it as a narrow path.So,Im duty bound to stick with that.Im not going to decieve people into using another route.You cant get to Heaven by doing good works for example.
If we were discussing something else,I am open to listening to others points of view and then changing my mind based on the new evidence.If Im debating something else,I dont dig my heels in to one point of view.

By the way I came across this website.
trulightradioxm.org.za/end-time … -prophecy/
It talks about the book of revelation and how the locusts predicted to flood the earth are probably drones.And if you think about it,you dont need to be an engineer to realise that weare going to have a big problem with drones.I think they are alongside global warming and nucleur annihalation in the top things that could wipe us out.
Have a look at the website,its interesting

Sploom:
I told the pastor himself I was having trouble with preaching to certain people,so he said some prayers at the front of the church to give me more power in my evangelism…

And you swallowed that BS ■■ - I remember that from when I was a child trapped in all that BS - it really is BS.

Wakey Wakey Sploom, don’t let these Snake Oil Salesmen ruin your life, your daughter has sussed them & I reckon your wife has too.

You don’t have to be a danger to society, you could do something good and fight back against these USA Baptist Terrorists trying to get a foothold in the UK.

Christian terrorism - Wikipedia

Evangelism is best left to one of the 144,000 these days.

I stopped going to Church once they’d clearly embraced “liberalism” over “Faith”. Even Solomon in the Bible made THAT mistake, despite all that former wisdom that he was initially famous for…

I failed to find, for example - any clergy who called the bluff on Covid, carrying on their regular sunday services as normal, risking (rightfully!) the wrath of the government in doing so.
FFS if these eco-borderline terrorists can get away with it - why wouldn’t a “Not My Lockdown!” Vicar gain anything bar decent publicity throughout the country, aiding the Christian cause in doing so?

Nope. Organized Religion, alas - is as still as much part of the Ruling Establishment as it ever was…
Note that in America, you don’t get to see much “TV Evangelism” backing key players these days - do you?

The Church “Staying out of politics” should have included them not getting involved with Tree Huggers, and other minority political interests - but no. :frowning:

Winseer.I joined the 144000 group.Are you there with us too?

Winseer and Sploomy, the new TN bromance.
No mention of anything homo ■■■■■■ btw,.as they really dont like it… :bulb: (up em Captain Mainwaring :smiley: )
What is that saying my dearest old Gran used to say…
‘‘Birds of a feather’’ ? :laughing:

Anyhoo…
I’m going to start a new thread titled…
‘‘A religious question for Sploomy but will he give me a straight answer’’ :smiley:
Mainly to stop him quoting cack from The Bible in his replies and getting a reply instead in modern English.

Ill give you a straight answer but you still refrain from telling me what you would do if the proof was put before you.Once you give me a yay or nay,then we can see what the equation looks like without the “proof” issue in it.Its up to you,you dont have to answer my questions,its a free country after all…

Sploom:
Jesus describes it as a narrow path.So,Im duty bound to stick with that.

Without correcting your spelling & grammar, it was always thus.

Those of us of a certain age remember the ‘Narrow Paths’ in the Middle East.

I’m not sure whether your Jesus H’ C’ passed through Bab Al Hawa, but many of his followers & writers of books in the new testament did.

bab_al_hawa.jpg

Many years after them we took our trucks through the same narrow path built by the Romans, from what I have seen they built to standard 4m Height.

I doubt you would have the balls to do it, and even less find someone to trust you that far from your Handlers/Elders.

Sploom:
Jesus is the only way to eternal life.Its on His terms,not ours.

So far as we know, Jesus did not write anything, nor did anyone who had personal knowledge of him. There is no archaeological evidence of his existence.

There are no contemporaneous accounts of his life or death: no eyewitness accounts, nor any other kind of first-hand record.

All the accounts of Jesus come from decades or centuries later; the gospels themselves all come from later times, though they may contain earlier sources or oral traditions.

The earliest writings that survive are the letters of Paul of Tarsus, written 20-30 years after the dates given for Jesus’s death.

Paul was not a companion of Jesus, nor does he ever claim to have seen Jesus before his death.”

Heaven, not real, Hell, not real

Sploom:

Jesus, not real, your God, not real, Holy Ghost, Adam, Eve, Noah, Moses, Satan, Lucifer et al, also not real

Sploom:

Your whole existence is deceiving yourself with fairy stories

Sploom:
I am open to listening to others points of view and then changing my mind based on the new evidence.

And that’s the point where your trousers have reached their auto-ignition temperature and burst into flames, and, you’re deceiving yourself again.

No wonder you’re mad as a box of frogs reading websites like that. :unamused:
Why would a flying robot wipe us out? Unless you believe Skynet is real? (see The Terminator, 1984)

Yes, everyone likes the Book of Revelations, that’s why The Omen is a popular movie, that’s why Iron Maiden’s song still kicks ■■■■ after 40 years,

BOR has been the basis of many, many other “horror stories”, it has marvelously dark poetic imagery and everyone enjoys a bit of apocalyptic dread - see “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” 1997 to 2003, which featured multiple potential apocalypses. But, I know you won’t, your head would explode due to the hot lesbian witches (Willow) and ■■■■ demons in human form (eg Anya).

However like every aspect of your belief system, the Book of Revelations, Terminator, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, etc etc are all J-U-S-T, A-N-O-T-H-E-R, S-T-O-R-Y… .

I’ve already told you once. :unamused:

The only proof of all this stuff being actually real instead of science fiction, is if your Messiah with super powers,who claimed to be the son of God,.re.appeared in a ‘second coming’.

You asked me if I would then become a born again Christian,.to which my answer was ‘No’,
The reason for that answer being, that unlike yourself I do not suffer from lack of confidence, or insecurity issues, prompting ne to look for some kind of spiritual guidance in the form of a religion.
How is that for a straight answer?
How straighter could it possibly be?

I’m sorry if it was not the answer you were trying to lead me into, and also sorry I did not indulge you in the pointless excercise of discussing further hypothetical scenarios that you came up with, to go into the process of conversion further.

I keep telling you mate,.I am always one step in front of you…you are wasting your time trying to convert me, I ain’t gullible nor susceptible to procedures of brainwashing… as you have evdently proven beyond all doubt to be.

Judea was under Roman occupation, the Romans compulsively wrote important events down, yet no Roman documentation of JC was ever made at the time. Tacitus wrote about it, but not until over 100 years after the event.

You gave me a straight answer but can we just develop this a bit further.Are you telling me you would reject Christ even after seeing Him face to face?
