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?

No, I don't have it backwards at all.
This is a public forum. It is supposed to be a place where things are discussed and debated.
It isn't supposed to be a soap box for one person to rant and drivel on and on in a diatribal monologue on one single subject to the exclusion of further discussion or debate.

And while BM doesn't engage in any other discourse with anyone not behoving to his own personal belief system, but continues to shove his single-mindedness upon everyone else in an open forum I believe is a mis-use and abuse of the forums.

And it's not just this thread either - it is monopolising the scroller so that other subjects being actively discussed are being pushed into minority.
So yes, BM's monopoly on self-posting and rambling is having an erstwise harmful effect on the site as a whole.

Oh my, I watched that film and didn't particularly like it, although entertaining, it scared the crap out of me.

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.

I understand it. Putting someone else above yourself is righteous and great miracles CAN occur.

Sure you are.

Right now you are in a contained thread, BenevolentM nor I have posted outside of it in awhile.

So get your head out of your ***, and see the truth here.

The only one who is imposing and insulting is you at this time.

This is one thread of many many many many many many many many.........................................

Sinking in yet?

Its simple you don't like blessings? Remove yourself.

Didn't your momma teach you it's rude to impose/preach your beliefs onto others that don't want it??

I was taught manners. It appears you weren't.

And besides, pretty much all of the other threads are debate and discussion.
This one isn't.
Big difference.

ETA: this is not a closed thread - it is on a public forum and open to all.

What you are referring to is known as a heuristic, which is better known as a rule of thumb. Due to the aggressiveness of the left, the right has to make some compromises in favor of Godliness. Personally, I feel they in a broad sense they have gone overboard since the devil likes to polarize situations. There are occasions where politeness is a trap. It is a trap that so happens to favor your position at this time.

If you want to blame anyone, I'm the one who broke her Imperial conditioning.

Piter De Vries: I knew Yueh's wife. I was the one who broke his Imperial conditioning. I've thought of many pleasures with you. It is perhaps better that you die in the innards of a worm. Desire clouds my reason. That is not good. That is bad.

God is the Creator; hence, He is not personal property. He operates on the whole of society directly or indirectly.

The film The Wolf of Wall Street (2013) http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0993846/ is an R rated film. There is a scene in it where Jordan Belfort addressed his employees. He had a way out, but he concluded that if he were to comply with what the government wanted, he would have been a hypocrite. It isn't wrong to be a hypocrite if it means doing the right thing.

I was hesitant to say right thing because the government was being gentle with him. It is in hindsight unclear if such gentleness was warranted. The government does, however, try. Though not in an especially uniform way, there are domains where it does try. Capitalism "greed" is thought good for the nation. Adam Smith has something to say about this.

It is known that often times an incentive is needed in order for a person to do the right thing. Though a strong incentive was given, the court ruled that he had indeed done the right thing and was rewarded for it.

The government meddles in human affairs at times in a manner similar to God. This is both a strong point and a weakness. To the extent that the government is like God, the government fulfills a role that is good, but it is also in a sense a pretender, a sky shaped dome.

As chatterbox24 pointed out she has back God taxes to pay, figuratively speaking. April 15th is coming up people. Don't be caught posting to the forum when you need to be at the post office!

You could say I have a God given franchise. I am claiming authority.

Please watch the personal attacks. I will leave this as is, considering there isn't a lot of name calling and inflammation.

Enjoy your debate.

How do you know I owe tithe to the church? How do you know this!!!
I owe 10% and that's minimum. God was extra kind to me this year and guess what I will give it to the Catholic for the incredible knowledge and wisdom.
