The Exorcist (1973) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0070047/quotes

Father Merrin: I cast you out! Unclean spirit!
Demon: Shove it up your ass, you faggot!
Father Merrin: In the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ! It is he who commands you! It is he who flung you from the gates of Heaven to the depths of Hell!
Demon: Fuck him!
Father Merrin: Be gone...
Demon: Fuck him, Karras! Fuck him!
Father Merrin: ...from this creature of God! Be gone! In the Name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit!

Today it wouldn't be you faggot.

The story of the Exorcist has been reenacted here. It is an old story.

Awww, bless your heart, that really is a novel idea. That way you can post a personal attack without getting called on it by the mods. But if you really don't give a rats ass, why didn't you simply call him 'shit for brains'

Oh my, I watched that film and didn't particularly like it, although entertaining, it scared the crap out of me.
My son found it awesome with all the effects though. He is an intellectual.

I will be waking up to watch the eclipse Tuesday, but I wont be seeing it as the matrix, but as a beautiful natural phenomenon.

Yikes stop it. It did inspire me to post this link. In Church long ago, I heard of this, before computers became so vital in our society. It was 10 years before Atari became popular, and there were no access to computers in schools. Typewriters were popular.

I recall an exorcism I performed. That night I was visited by a demon. It had black skin short and muscle bound. It tried to lift me from my feet so as to hang me on the wall like Saint Peter, upside down. I was in bed at the time. It was only able to lift my legs I figure about 18 inches before it found that I was too heavy for it to lift.

I don't want you silenced, people like you are great for atheism. By all means rant incoherently as much as possible and if you could find some time to scream nonsense on street corners I'd consider it a personal favor.

It seems that you GotSteel have since recovered...

I didn't want you to be silenced earlier either, that was you (as usual) making connections that don't actually exist. It was another religious person who told you to shut up. Where I came in is that chatter said being christian doesn't mean being an extremist and I agreed with her. But I also pointed out that you are an extremist.

The film the Exorcist to me brings back fond memories. How many people do you think can say that? I was in a state of Grace at the time.

Third Prayer of St. Bridget of Sweden

Untouched but typed by Me.

O Jesus! Creator of Heaven and earth Whom nothing can encompass or limit, Thou Who dost enfold and hold all under Thee Loving power, remember the very bitter pain Thou didst suffer when the Jews nailed Thy Sacred Hands and Feet to the Cross by the blow with a big blunt nails, and not finding Thee in a pitiable enough state to satisfy their rage, they enlarged Thy Wounds, and added pain to pain, and with indescribable cruelty stretched Thy Body on the Cross, pulled Thee from all sides, thus dislocating Thy Limbs, I beg of Thee, O Jesus, by the memory of this most Loving suffering of the Cross, to grant me the grace to fear Thee and to Love Thee Amen.

It's always struck me as more an exercise in theodicy than a proper horror film: without the right catholic background, it's more camp than scary. Which I'd imagine is why you found it more frightening than your son did.

I agree. I am just unwilling to provide you with the proof.

So my initial criticism of your blathering was true, and all of the mealy mouthed snark you came out with in response to it was nonsense, then.
Thought so.

Not that he is unwilling, rather that he is unable to provide such proof because there just isn't any proof to provide.

Over 950 posts, mostly of himself blathering on to himself and for the most part, incoherently.
I think he should be banned for blasphemy and dominating the scroller and wasting server space.
It is certainly a self-service in promoting his own post count and insulting others indiscriminantly.

It is going to be important for the information to be presented to the world in such a way as to encourage everyone to find the Truth for themselves so that they can in some measure say to God, I did it! It is something I am worried about.

I follow the right hand path. You are on the other hand complaining that I have not chosen the left.

It's worse than that, his position is demonstrably false.

Hi GS. I hope your day was good.
I appreciate the information. I do.
Now tell me what I need to reason?

Well the deconversion story that you made up for me was nonsense what actually happened sounds similar to decisions that you've been faced with, I just made the opposite choice.

In all fairness I was raised in a congregational christian church which thought of the Bible as a living breathing document that primed me to change my religious beliefs when I ran into contradictory knowledge instead of denying knowledge in order to preserve demonstrably incorrect beliefs.

Now for me that caused to over the course of many years change my religious beliefs out of christianity and eventually discard them completely, but that's not what often happens. Typically we just end up with christians who don't have to go around denying knowledge of reality in order to maintain their beliefs.

You have the gall to claim that you're following the right hand path while demanding blind faith from others as only God is entitled to?
If anybody in this thread is showing devilish sophistry and deceit, it's you.

Sorry I had to deal with some pressing reality.

The movie was odd, but it wasn't the movie as much as the fact at 5am, the computer came on, taken from my sons room unplugged and battery dead at 9 pm. To keep him from getting on it at bedtime.
The show was watched on Tv but at 5 am the dead computer woke up and I heard talking from it. When I picked it up it would not turn on until I put it on the charger.
When it came on it was a video my son had been watching, which was talking about an Easter egg in a game. It said Saints Row.

Its settled. You made your choice. NO reason to post then about it?

I tire of playing NICE NICE. I believe you have it backward. What you think doesn't matter at all.
You are disrespecting God, and you have been freely allowed to do so.
you are chasing this thread IT isn't chasing you.
My personally opinion is it is you that should be gone.

If moderation asked me to leave I would leave peacefully without a word. POOF. GONE. Would you?
