Questions for Thinkers, Part Deux (page 4)

Yeah, well, friends call me Pushy McBossypants for a reason.

Look, you're free to not answer the question. But being evasive just makes it appear that you...

don't know what you believe.

OR

lied when you said you don't reject certain scriptures.

I choose "(your) free to not answer". I think that's what I was doing. I should not have asked for a good reason. I assumed you ask believers what they believe so that you might have fodder to ridicule. My bad! If you can prove the question is a legitimate one, I would be happy to answer. I do not think it is legit. I think you do not have a good reason for asking. That is what I was asking you to prove. I'm sorry.

I've just read your post, Sweet Baby. I'm still chuckling.

Seriously, it's very, very good. I especially like f (above). I've always wondered why Jehovah's Witnesses take the injunctions concerning blood so seriously, but munch away happily on food like shellfish. Now you've added in the homosexual element...very good!

And the bit about cutting the hair and deserving death. Tell us, please, are you toying with the idea of doling out one of these punishments?...I'm bearing in mind that death can really only be doled out once individually, but you could choose on which grounds you choose to administer it, all in the spirit of experiment.

I love the whole concept. If we need to take the Bible literally in one instance, why not all?

Splendidly logical! Keep us posted on the results!

PS. I'm not being sarcastic. This is genuine first class logic.

Me: Look, you're free to not answer the question.

You: I choose "(your) free to not answer".

Well, maybe you can answer why you deliberately changed the correct use of the contraction, you're, to the possessive pronoun, your?

Free does not belong to me.

I assumed you ask believers what they believe so that you might have fodder to ridicule.

Do you consider your beliefs to be fodder?

N.drew

Yes!

fodder:

something fed to domestic animals; especially : coarse food for cattle, horses, or sheep.

Chariklo, I would love to take credit for that fine piece of writing... so I will. (Nod to Zoiks. Again.)

Kidding. None of the OP is my own, aside from very minor changes to address it to Perry. I copied the content from a well-circulated email, which I also thought was brilliantly written.
