JGR:
eadon has arrived.
eadon-com:
Indeedy doody! Hi JGR! hi dudes! I smell blood
in the water, is there a religious debate afoot?
Madpole:
eadon - I got married to BattleSiren today!
eadon-com:
Really madpole? Congratulations
Madpole:
yep - we are going to have loads of kids and
working out how to do it electronically....
PrayingMattress:
madpole if
you got married today, why are you here?
WickedMerlin:
He got married HERE
WickedMerlin:
And BishopHavoc was the minister :)
PrayingMattress:
that is a
first for ICC and this channel
Madpole:
what is ?
BattleSiren:
yeah, what is? :)
PrayingMattress:
e-marriage
WickedMerlin:
well, I'm using here loosely - [the "marriage"
took place in the shout chat channel]
eadon-com:
Ah congratulations BattleSiren :)
Madpole:
Yes - and I want to have loads of [channel]
103 children... and I am SERIOUS
BattleSiren:
let's stress the point they will be shout kiddies,
not 103 kids
Madpole:
BattleSiren!
PrayingMattress:
well remember
the help atmosphere rules, if you attempt e-sex
eadon-com:
wow, how romantic BattleSiren
BattleSiren:
hiya eadon-com, great blurbings on your site
;)
eadon-com:
Wow! It has been all worthwhile just to hear
you say that! :)
BattleSiren:
has it?
eadon-com:
if anything makes you say nice things to me
is not worthwhile then nothing is.
BattleSiren:
I'm a very slippery girl ( no pun intended)
eadon-com:
I am sure this is because you are smooth as
the finest silk BattleSiren
BattleSiren:
you are right of course
eadon-com:
I know, I usually am when in the company of
beauty and intelligence ;)
BattleSiren:
:) you must be flying tonight then ;)
eadon-com:
I am not normally this sycophantic :)
Madpole:
BattleSiren - eadon has got wife and kids BTW
- so be pleased by his smooth operator talk
but do not get attracted.
eadon-com:
Madpole, shhhhh, she might read that
BattleSiren:
I won't, plus what was it again? He is young
at heart...
Madpole:
he is but I am even younger!
BattleSiren:
wow, really? Now I'm flabbergasted
Madpole:
at heart that is - for I am generally older
than him .. but time is relative...
BattleSiren:
I thought time was non-existent?
eadon-com:
it used to be
Madpole:
or even non-existent - brilliant! Yes please!
eadon-com:
but time isn't what it was
BattleSiren:
time has changed into an entity then? God damn
it, no one told me!
Madpole:
So BattleSiren (can I call You "BattleSiren"?)
how about those kids then? When and where ?
eadon-com:
BattleSiren has kids too???
BattleSiren:
not yet, but Madpole is mad about making some
Madpole:
I would be too embarrassed to ask "how" too
eadon-com:
I imagine that those kids would be quite amazing
BishopHavoc:
you see mad you are already producing them (kids)
right here in this channel
BattleSiren:
BishopHavoc!
Madpole:
I have to be one better than eadon - he has
2 [baby twins] so we have to make 3 - now like..
or next week the latest...
BattleSiren:
we can do three or four in once if you like,
sure why not?
eadon-com:
I recommend having 2 at a time
BattleSiren:
I don't dare think of those sort of things eadon...
;)
WickedMerlin:
saves work, eadon?
WickedMerlin:
are we talking artificial and handiwork here,
eadon?
eadon-com:
nope, just a natural disaster, an act of god,
if you will :) Twins run in the Mrs' family
eadon-com:
Women are very good at doing many things at
the same time I understand. They can talk on
the phone, earwig on a separate conversation,
varnish their nails and wonder what they are
going to wear at that party tonight simultaneously
BattleSiren:
yes, one should always have a TV suspended from
the ceiling or somewhere to keep the woman's
mind entertained
eadon-com:
TV is not such good entertainment though :(
WickedMerlin:
oh they are - simultaneous miracles - that's
what womanhood is all about
eadon-com:
Indeed WickedMerlin, a curious blessing to us
all!
WickedMerlin:
If you ever see your wife go from one room to
another with nothing in her hands you should
call a doctor
BattleSiren:
I think TV is excellent entertainment... it
reminds me often of just how many more people
are dumb than smart (and I'm not saying where
I belong... I think... wait... errr..)
eadon-com:
I see that BattleSiren loves soap operas, am
I right ???
eadon-com:
madpole how did thee and she meet and when?
BattleSiren:
I despise soaps
eadon-com:
Ah, then that shows your wonderful sense of
taste BattleSiren
BattleSiren:
I'm more the sensitive yet ridiculous teenage
high school series addict... reminds me of just
how happy I am not to be in my teens anymore
eadon-com:
I suspect that in 20 years you will yearn to
be a teen again, and recapture the vibrancy
and tightness of lost youth
eadon-com:
Madpole I spoke to you on the phone this morning
and you were a bachelor through and through
Madpole:
Yes eadon - it was a flash of light.. ... the
God pointed his finger and said "You are a man
a wife now" - did not last more than 2 minutes...
eadon-com:
Well if that is not working in mysterious ways
then I don't' know what is
WickedMerlin:
aaaah BattleSiren you are in the transient age
BattleSiren:
what is that WickedMerlin
Madpole:
we discovered that there is a lot which we have
in common.....
WickedMerlin:
In 3 years you'll be dying for a second shot
at teenaging. Maybe not transient - some other
word that looks like it :)
BattleSiren:
you mean, in three years I'll be dying to be
young... teenaging was not really my forte
Madpole:
we are both spiritual losers and recognized
it instantly
BattleSiren:
yes, that did it really
WickedMerlin:
Don't confuse this, BattleSiren. Imaginary teenaging
is much better than the real thing. You have
money for one thing
eadon-com:
Youth is wasted on the young :( [Oscar Wilde]
BattleSiren:
... a confident mind...
BattleSiren:
most definitely eadon
Madpole:
I will make You young EVERY SINGLE day of your
life my Lady - do not listen to those sinners!
BishopHavoc:
yes BattleSiren..pay no attention to this brood
of vipers!!
WickedMerlin:
And this time you can stay out all night without
questions
BattleSiren:
plus you get to drive a car (no driving in Holland
before 18)
eadon-com:
That's right madpole, BattleSiren might be a
blood sucking vampire who will drain Madpole's
life-force to fuel her perpetual youth.
BattleSiren:
I will!!!
eadon-com:
Madpole you are so lucky to sacrifice yourself
to such a vivacious cause!
BattleSiren:
Madpole:
I am just a God's Server You know? I hope he
will not install [Micro$oft Windows] NT on me
though!
BattleSiren:
hmmm... something went wrong there... where
did all the words go? Come back here!
eadon-com:
Ah! lost for words! touching
Madpole:
everybody is wise - but some people do not know
about it - which is a wise move. My Wife, Brothers
and Sisters - I have to leave You now for I
am being kidnapped - because I would hate to
upset my wife. I will be back later on though...
providing I am not abducted by Aliens
BattleSiren:
have a safe journey
eadon-com:
later madpole and don't forget to say hi to
Xarg from me
BattleSiren:
I never knew this channel would be so.... heavenly
eadon-com:
It is best when hellish, my friend
WickedMerlin:
it's a heaven and a haven , BattleSiren
eadon-com:
Hell usually happens when the Dark Side Crew
are here
WickedMerlin:
You are the residing Dark Side Crew , eadon
:)
eadon-com:
I suspect that BattleSiren might be a possible
candidate for such a dubious club as the Dark
Side Crew
BattleSiren:
possibly... yes yes ... definitely ;)
eadon-com:
WickedMerlin is the Dark Site Crew emeritus
professor!
eadon-com:
You must take the Dark Side Crew questionnaire
BattleSiren, if you are willing
BattleSiren:
yes, please, give it :))
eadon-com:
First question....
BattleSiren:
shoot
eadon-com:
Are christians a)great
b)good c)bad
d)evil e)sad
BattleSiren:
e
BishopHavoc:
a!
BishopHavoc:
but only by the blood of the lamb
BattleSiren:
ok next question
eadon-com:
Is the soul a)
the reason we are conscious b)
explain why we are alive c)
a made up entity to explain stuff before science
came along d) a
fairy tale nonsensical laughable construct made
up to comfort the gullible?
BattleSiren:
the soul is a phrase, to describe, not to define
;)
eadon-com:
Finally, is sin something that a)
should be avoided at all costs b)
should be avoided when the vicar has come round
for tea, c) something
that is naughty but nice d)
the best way to have a good time?
BattleSiren:
c
Madpole:
I love my wife MORE AND MORE
eadon-com:
Congratulations for completing the Dark Side
Crew questionnaire
Madpole:
but I REALLY have to go! ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
BattleSiren:
ah, spirits have a soul then... therefore...
one could (on a bright day) see various spirits
(with their souls enclosed) flying to heaven
eadon-com:
You scored very highly BattleSiren, stumbling
slightly only at the last question, where the
correct answer was d), but c) was close
eadon-com:
So I declare..... <fanfare of trumpets to
a drum roll>!!!!!!!!!!!!
eadon-com:
BattleSiren is Dark Side!!!!! welcome aboard,
temptress!
BattleSiren:
I thought d was too obvious, I went for c (and
that mainly due to the fact that I don't have
an exact list of what sins are...)
Madpole:
My Wife! My soul! My channel! BattleSiren!
Madpole:
You have been officially accepted!
BattleSiren:
:)))))
eadon-com:
Madpole, you have chosen well :)
Madpole:
just proves the point! We did not get married
for nothing! We KNEW!
eadon-com:
BishopHavoc failed miserable to join the Dark
side crew, answering a) to the first question
BishopHavoc:
B?
eadon-com:
Fell at the first hurdle and landed face first
in a slurpy cow pat
WickedMerlin:
Sorry, BishopHavoc - you should try harder.
Much more fun on this side
BishopHavoc:
I was destined to fail Dark Side
Madpole:
BattleSiren and other Brothels and sisters!
Have fun! I will be back! Have to go now!
eadon-com:
Bye bye (again!) and say hi to the aliens from
me
BattleSiren:
bye sweetums ;)
BishopHavoc:
bye Madpole.. but time does not exist...so hello
and goodbye and hello again
BishopHavoc:
btw how's the Dark Side been treating its poor
???
BattleSiren:
(sitting in silent ponderance)
BattleSiren:
on the dark side, nobody's poor
BishopHavoc:
poor = dazed and confused that is
BattleSiren:
I'm confused
BishopHavoc:
don't b shy give it a try
WickedMerlin:
You are BattleSiren and we love you for it!
BattleSiren:
oh yes... BattleSiren ... BattleSiren... that
DOES ring a bell somehow
eadon-com:
BattleSiren, if you are not confused then you
are not informed
BattleSiren:
I dunno.. lemme have a think on this.
WickedMerlin:
I shrink back into the shadows, coming from
a long line of puritan ancestors
Evanjellycool:
what exactly
does "Dark Side" mean?
BattleSiren:
I don't know Evanjellycool.... lemme think...
(god damn it! where did I leave my brain!)
eadon-com:
You have to take the dark side questionnaire
(which I just made up half an hour ago) to have
a chance of joining the dark side crew, Evanjellycool.
eadon-com:
Do you accept the challenge?
eadon-com:
ok Evanjellycool, here goes!
eadon-com:
Are christians a)great b)good c)bad d)evil e)sad
Evanjellycool:
a
eadon-com:
ok next question: Is the soul a) the reason
we are conscious b) explain why we are alive
c) a made up entity to explain stuff before
science came along d) a fairy tale nonsensical
laughable construct made up to comfort the gullible?
Evanjellycool:
a
eadon-com:
and finally the last question is.... Is sin
something that a) should be avoided at all costs
b) should be avoided when the vicar has come
round for tea, c) something that is naughty
but nice d) the best way to have a good time?
Evanjellycool:
a again.
eadon-com:
OK <adds up Evanjellycool's dark side score>
eadon-com:
You have scored a total of... <drum roollllllllll>
eadon-com:
3/13
eadon-com:
I'm afraid that you have to score 10 or more
to be a member of the Dark Side Crew.
WickedMerlin:
oh dear - Evanjellycool has been blinded by
the light
BishopHavoc:
congrats Evanjellycool... you've now been registered
into heaven!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BattleSiren:
Is the Old Testament a)the old version of the
new and only true testament, the ultimate revision
b)a companion for fuller understanding of the
New Testament c)an annoying addendum to the
New Testament d)the more gory and hence more
exciting part of to idiotic books, bound together
under the title "Bible"?
WickedMerlin:
d
WickedMerlin:
definitely d
BattleSiren:
thought so... :))
eadon-com:
d
Evanjellycool:
b BattleSiren.
BattleSiren:
ok, this settles it: both BishopHavoc and Evanjellycool
get to join the bright side
eadon-com:
the bright side!
Evanjellycool:
woo hoo!!
eadon-com:
THAT IS GREAT! LOVE IT! The bright side! heheheh
BattleSiren:
:)
eadon-com:
so ironic
BattleSiren:
where all thing are blissfully bright and shiny
and silent
BattleSiren:
yes, one of my many better features: irony
Evanjellycool:
not silent,
but okay.
eadon-com:
And candyfloss grows on magic mushroom trees
Evanjellycool:
now wait
just a minute!
BattleSiren:
yes?
WickedMerlin:
we are waiting
Evanjellycool:
I was talking
to eadon.
BattleSiren:
Evanjellycool 2: Jesus is the reason for the
season.
Evanjellycool:
yea. So?
BattleSiren:
so nothing
eadon-com:
You were saying Evanjellycool?
WickedMerlin:
This is sooo brilliant
BishopHavoc:
I agree with Evanjellycool
Evanjellycool:
it is not
a fairy tale!
BattleSiren:
what is not?
Evanjellycool:
the bright
side.
eadon-com:
I would say that fairy tale fits the bible perfectly,
a most apt characterisation of the christian
myth
BattleSiren:
ok, note this down: heaven is not a tangible
place, it is a feeling gotten from believing
in Jesus and God and whatnot (quoted loosely
from Pope JPII)
BattleSiren:
hence ergo and therefore: it is a fairy tale
eadon-com:
the bright side is a rummy collection of shiny
happy people worshipping gawd!
BattleSiren:
also to be deduced from this quote: heaven,
gawd and religion are states of mind, a specialist
of the genus "fooling one's self"
Evanjellycool:
better than
negative, pessimistic people like the dark side!
eadon-com:
A healthy skepticism of religion is often mistaken
as pessimism by those who believe, much like
a crack addict might begrudge the non-user his
sobriety
BattleSiren:
it's so annoying when bright siders don't read
up on their stuff
Evanjellycool:
I do not
stand corrected! Your logic does NOT stand up!
Hah!
BattleSiren:
explain why it does not stand up
Evanjellycool:
I've read
the Bible, BattleSiren.
BattleSiren:
and? what did you get out of it? was it... entertaining?
Evanjellycool:
I don't believe
you have thoroughly, though.
Evanjellycool:
understanding
is what you get from reading the Bible.
BattleSiren:
an understanding of what?
Evanjellycool:
of how the
world works.
BattleSiren:
and how DOES the world work, according to the
bible
Dudge:
[arrives] what're we discussing here?
eadon-com:
religion Dudge
Dudge:
I'd figured that much...
eadon-com:
Please welcome BattleSiren to the Dark Side
and Evanjellycool to the Bright Side. BattleSiren
coined the phrase "Bright Side" by the way.
Quite brilliant
Dudge:
Welcome to the channel, Madpole, BattleSiren...:)
BattleSiren:
yes, I'm having it patented as we speak
Dudge:
trademarked, you mean.
BattleSiren:
no, ... err... yes, whatever
eadon-com:
Dudge should trademark the word pedant :)
Evanjellycool:
there are
two realms present: the physical, which we perceive
with our senses, and the spiritual, which we
perceive through our spirits and souls.
BattleSiren:
I do not perceive anything through my soul...
does this mean I'm faulty? Can I learn to perceive?
Dudge:
I'm not sure if I do or not. What's a soul,
anyway?
Evanjellycool:
yes. everyone
can. just like we learn to perceive with our
senses.
BattleSiren:
I think I perceived with my senses without anyone
teaching me.... no one taught me how to see
Dudge:
Everyone who has the capability learns to perceive
with whatever senses they have.
eadon-com:
funny you should ask that Dudge: Is the soul
a) the reason we are conscious b) explain why
we are alive c) a made up entity to explain
stuff before science came along d) a fairy tale
nonsensical laughable construct made up to comfort
the gullible?
Dudge:
(a) or (b) might be decent definitions.
Evanjellycool:
you learned
that the tree is called a tree and the rock
is called a rock. Without learning, you would
not know what these things were or how they
work.
BattleSiren:
so basically I learned some words going with
visions... how does that combine with religion?
FatherBugKiller:
I call on
all the heretics of this channel to give up
their Prot beliefs and come back to the True
Church!
Evanjellycool:
you learned
how to discipline your thoughts. That's exactly
how you discipline your spirit.
WickedMerlin:
and which of the 300 variants is that, FatherBugKiller?
BattleSiren:
now my parents never took me out into a field
and said: "Dear, in the middle of a field you
can see something we call a "glurbordart"" they
never made me believe something was there and
named it for me that wasn't there in the first
place
FatherBugKiller:
all of them,
I guess ( Only 300?)
Dudge:
What is the "bright side"?
eadon-com:
You are either in the Dark Side Crew or the
Bright Side Flock Dudge
Evanjellycool:
just because
you can't see something, doesn't mean it does
not exist: atoms for example.
WickedMerlin:
you can see atoms, Evanjellycool
Evanjellycool:
not with
the naked eye.
Dudge:
What characteristics does the bright side have
as opposed to the dark side? What sort of person
is on the bright side?
eadon-com:
you can see atoms Evanjellycool, both macroscopically
and using electron-scanning microscopes (although
not using light in the latter case) So atoms
are definitely there
Dudge:
You can't see atoms at all, with the naked eye
or not...right?
BattleSiren:
Is the Old Testament a)the old version of the
new and only true testament, the ultimate revision
b) a companion for fuller understanding of the
New Testament c)an annoying addendum to the
New Testament d)the more gory and hence more
exciting part of to idiotic books, bound together
under the title "Bible"?
Dudge:
If I had to pick, I'd say (b).
BattleSiren:
Dudge... hmmm... eadon, give him another question
Evanjellycool:
only when
we gained in tech. did we even take into account
they exist at all.
eadon-com:
but basically christians are bright side and
atheists are dark side.
BattleSiren:
Dudge, answer that question :)
Evanjellycool:
I'm saying
our spirits are not advanced enough to perceive
the things of God.
BattleSiren:
I wonder how this discussion went in the old
days when the Brighties didn't have the "But
what about atoms huh? You can't see *those*!"
argument yet
Evanjellycool:
but they
had wind.
WickedMerlin:
Evanjellycool are you claiming that Stone Age
people with their nature-gods are more advanced
than we?
Evanjellycool:
no. I'm saying
until we discipline our spirits to perceive
the things of God, we cannot.
BattleSiren:
I have a general dislike towards all things
that have to disciplined onto me
Hard-Boiled:
have you disciplined your spirits Evanjellycool?
BattleSiren:
but the wind is tangible: it can be felt in
your hands... plus you wouldn't need your parents
telling you you were feeling something
Evanjellycool:
the same
with God!
Evanjellycool:
people have
felt the effects of Almighty God, BattleSiren.
BattleSiren:
but I haven't... and until god shakes my hand
and tells me How are ya sweetie? I will not
have his existence forced upon me by brighties
Evanjellycool:
His existence
is separate from your belief in Him or not.
eadon-com:
Dudge - you have to take the Bright/Side Dark/Side
questionnaire... First Question: - Are christians
a)great b)good c)bad d)evil e)sad?
Dudge:
Hmm. Either (f) none of the above, or (g) all
of the above.
eadon-com:
ok
eadon-com:
next question
eadon-com:
Is the soul a) the reason we are conscious b)
explain why we are alive c) a made up entity
to explain stuff before science came along d)
a fairty tale nonsensical laughable construct
made up to comfort the gullible?
Dudge:
Some christians are (a), some are (b), some
are (c), some are (d), some are something else...
Dudge:
(a) and (b) could be decent definitions, with
some more work.
Evanjellycool:
whether you
like them or not, you are still under their
control.
eadon-com:
third and final question: Is sin something that
a) should be avoided at all costs b) should
be avoided when the vicar has come round for
tea, c) something that is naughty but nice d)
the best way to have a good time?
Dudge:
none of the above, I think.
eadon-com:
Hmmm.
BattleSiren:
[Dudge is] Bright [Side]
WickedMerlin:
Dudge is definitely an agnostic :)
eadon-com:
OK Dudge, well the only real answer you gave
was a or b for the second question, so I declare
you Bright-ish Side
BattleSiren:
ha! that's what I said too
WickedMerlin:
He wouldn't answer any question
eadon-com:
ok Dudge is dim side :)
BattleSiren:
:))
Dudge:
second question was also unclear... was it asking
for a definition? Or was it asking for a conclusion
about a "soul" from some meaning I should already
have in mind?
eadon-com:
nice tell about god back there BattleSiren
TyroWarlock:
Dudge, you gotta go outside :)
Dudge:
(c) and (d) could be decent conclusions, depending
on the definition (but would probably need some
work).
BattleSiren:
don't fret .. you're on the bright side
Dudge:
But as definitions, (c) and (d) were quite shitty
indeed.
TyroWarlock:
its beautiful out.. about 4 inches of snow
Dudge:
It's snowing, TyroWarlock? Ah, yes, I guess
you would know...:) We only had a half an inch
or so, last time I looked outside...
Dudge:
but closer to 4 now here too
eadon-com:
come on guys don't talk about the bloody weather!
TyroWarlock:
exactly :) I walked around for about an hour
in the woods. found some deer tracks, and a
rabbit hole
BattleSiren:
jezus christ! this is the religion channel for
god's sake!
Dudge:
eadon, BattleSiren... what classification do
I get for thinking the questions weren't terribly
useful?
TyroWarlock:
god made it snow today
eadon-com:
Leave the weather to physics
TyroWarlock:
lol :)
Dudge:
They seemed ambiguous, poorly worded, etc.
WickedMerlin:
dim side, Dudge
Dudge:
dim light is good. bright lights actually make
me tired...
BattleSiren:
the "Why Are You Still here" classification
sometimes also known as the Nitpickers Side
Dudge:
nitpicking? nah, those issues weren't nitpicky,
eh? The questions had some serious problems.
up2over1:
what kills me is that for everyone who speaks
of this christian god there is someone else
somewhere else speaking of their god or gods
with the same attitude. Like duh isn't it obvious,
why can't you get it? And they all think your
wrong too. It's laughable
eadon-com:
Join the Dark Side, Dudge, you know you want
to :)
BattleSiren:
oh yes, the next time we shall have a board
of directors go over them Dudge, and then have
them certified by the Committee on Useful Questions
Dudge:
very good
Dudge:
or just do a better job yourselves...
Dudge:
but a board of directors could be useful, if
you are unable to fix 'em yourselves
BattleSiren:
ok enough blabber for today... I greet thee
eadon, my fellow questioneer
WickedMerlin:
I'm in the presence of so much intellectual
power here that I wet myself. :)
Dudge:
dlh, these guys are accusing me of nitpicking!
absurd
eadon-com:
We could have a committee for the overseeing
of definitions that are useful and definitions
that are not useful, in turn regulated by the
sensible questions committee
Dudge:
Or just have whoever makes up the questions
do a decent job of it. (Whichever you think
is simplest)
BattleSiren:
yes, and then develop an entire system of overseers
and sub-committee's... let's try and copy the
American red tape system! Yay!
eadon-com:
Wow BattleSiren! I think you are on to something!
Lets set up a Sensible Questions Taskforce to
clear the way for Definitions Filtering Kick-Off
meetings
Dudge:
Guys, that ain't needed.
Evanjellycool:
I find that
the majority of people proclaiming themselves
to be "open-minded" often are not so "open-minded"
when it comes to the expressed opinions of Christians.
BattleSiren:
I am very open minded... the minute someone
shows themselves to me, I will acknowledge their
existence
Dudge:
I'll just be the sensible/unambiguous/useful
questions dictator. Anything that doesn't pass
by me needed to be reworked
WickedMerlin:
hereby appointed , Dudge!!
eadon-com:
hey dlh! we have a new member of the dark side
on our hands! Meet BattleSiren!!!
BattleSiren:
greetings and salutations
dlh:
nice to meet you BattleSiren!
eadon-com:
And BattleSiren coined the phrase "Bright Side"!
dlh:
bright side, I like it
eadon-com:
And Evanjellycool scored top marks on the brightness
end of eadon's dark-side-crew membership questionnaire
Dudge:
eadon, the questionnaire is hereby declared
invalid by the question dictator.
BattleSiren:
err... no
TyroWarlock:
Dudge, did you listen to that song "Amorphis
- Black Winter Day" now is the perfect time
for that :)
Evanjellycool:
back to the
atom issue, an atom will not jump out and shake
your hand, so you have to look a little.
WickedMerlin:
Evanjellycool your hand consists of atoms
WickedMerlin:
and they shake non-stop so I guess you can say
atoms are shaking your hand as we speak
Evanjellycool:
yes, but
as there are things too small to see under normal
circumstances, there are also things too deep
and grand to possibly be comprehended by the
"natural
eadon-com:
sure Evanjellycool, but atoms exist, yes? at
least when you observe them anyway
Evanjellycool:
yes, eadon,
and so does God when you observe Him.
eadon-com:
If some things are too deep that doesn't mean
they should be ascribed to a god, as an easy
way out. If things are too deep for us to understand
then that merely tells us about the limitations
of our feeble minds!
BattleSiren:
the [BattleSiren's] old testament question was
pretty solid I thought ;)
Dudge:
It could use some work, but maybe the best of
the bunch, BattleSiren.
WickedMerlin:
it was BattleSiren - beautiful work!!
BattleSiren:
why, thank you dear sir :)) (it must be my protestant
upbringing shining through Calvinistically)
BattleSiren:
Is the Old Testament a) the old version of the
new and only true testament, the ultimate revision
b) a companion for fuller understanding of the
New Testament c) an annoying addendum to the
New Testament d) the more gory and hence more
exciting part of to idiotic books, bound together
under the title "Bible"?
eadon-com:
I would definitely say d!
dlh:
all of the above BattleSiren
eadon-com:
dlh, if you had to pick one, which would it
be??
WickedMerlin:
oh dear, dlh about to join dim side too?
Dudge:
Dlh joining the nitpicker side with me!?
dlh:
Dudge knows dlh enjoys picking the nits for
sure
Acolyte-99:
It's b, and to a point, a as well. This is a
cool channel. :)
dlh:
pick what eadon?
dlh:
Genesis 6 is cool too, where travelling angels
have sex with women and create a race of giants
eadon-com:
Would Acolyte-99 care to take the Dark Side
Questionnaire?
Acolyte-99:
Yes, Acolyte-99 would
eadon-com:
And dlh too?
eadon-com:
Great! here goes! Are christians a)great b)good
c)bad d)evil e)sad
BattleSiren:
looks on in excitement
dlh:
I don't see naive as a choice eadon
Dudge:
Shitty question.
eadon-com:
ok dlh and Dudge choose not to commit themselves
Dudge:
Rejected by the question dictator, eadon.
BattleSiren:
naive is included in option e
dlh:
ah, e then
eadon-com:
Great! here goes! Are christians a)great b)good
c)bad d)evil e)naive
eadon-com:
yes, that is better, thanks dlh and BattleSiren
BattleSiren:
naive/sad
Acolyte-99:
everyone is created inherently good.... And
as a result of free will, good people do bad
things, some more than others. If I had to pick
one, I'd go with b.
eadon-com:
Great! here goes! Are christians a)great b)good
c)bad d)evil e)naive/sad
eadon-com:
even better!
eadon-com:
dlh has chosen e)
eadon-com:
OK on to the next question
BishopHavoc:
xtians are good by the blood of the lamb!!
BattleSiren:
which lamb?
eadon-com:
Is the soul a) the reason we are conscious b)
explain why we are alive c) a made up entity
to explain stuff before science came along d)
a fairy tale nonsensical laughable construct
made up to comfort the gullible?
Acolyte-99:
But lots of Christians in each category...
KSose:
The correct answer is C) 42
BishopHavoc:
none of the above
Acolyte-99:
42, of course!
eadon-com:
dlh? Acolyte-99?
Dudge:
Some are "good," some are not, some are "bad,"
some are not, some are "naive," some are not.....
dlh:
b eadon
eadon-com:
Your answers please to the second of the three
dark-side-crew questionnaire!
dlh:
no, c
WickedMerlin:
we have an answer from dlh, Acolyte-99?
BishopHavoc:
we are on next question Dudge <BishopHavoc
gives Dudge a spanking>
dlh:
I like c and d actually
Dudge:
Dlh, it's a bad question....doesn't even specify
if he wants a definition or a conclusion from
some definition we're already supposed to know.
Acolyte-99:
a and b... if I have to pick one, b
eadon-com:
great! final question... drum roll.....
dlh:
well of course Dudge, but remember, this is
channel 103 :)
BishopHavoc:
none of the above!
KSose:
ok, fire ...
eadon-com:
Is sin something that a) should be avoided at
all costs b) should be avoided when the vicar
has come round for tea, c) something that is
naughty but nice d) the best way to have a good
time?
Dudge:
(a) and (b) might be decent definitions
Acolyte-99:
a of course.
Acolyte-99:
LOL at b. hehehe
eadon-com:
dlh?
dlh:
I like c with the caveat that it is sometimes
naughty and nice
Dudge:
Maybe (e) should be avoided when the vicar is
having coffee, but not tea.
BishopHavoc:
sin should be resisted to the "nth" degree
Acolyte-99:
Where n= the degree of temptation
eadon-com:
And the results are......
eadon-com:
dlh and WickedMerlin are Dark Side Crew!
eadon-com:
And Acolyte-99 is Bright-Side Crew!
Acolyte-99:
bright-side, huh?
eadon-com:
Congratulations to WickedMerlin, dlh and Acolyte-99
for their respective memberships in the Dark-Side
Crew and Bright-Side Flock
dlh:
lol eadon
Dudge:
Somebody's up for some real discussion. :( eadon
keeps asking the useless questions...
Acolyte-99:
That's objective truth
BattleSiren:
this'll become a channel of freaks yet... Brighties...
Darkies.... battles... we sound like a science
fiction series
dlh:
I like the evolution of every project as follows:
enthusiasm, discouragement, failure, search
for those responsible, blame the innocent, and
finally praise the non-participants
eadon-com:
I think that there cannot be a god, or he would
have revealed himself by now
Acolyte-99:
A lot of people would argue that He has, eadon
Evanjellycool:
He has. it's
historical.
BattleSiren:
but it's not a matter of arguing if you're gonna
fight wars over it; if people make the stakes
that high, definite existence should be established
dlh:
talking snakes, funky trees, powerful fruits,
demons, witches, fat angel chillen called cherubims,
floating dung heaps, talking Mr. Ed donkeys,
Talking burning bushes, Unicorns, Holy Ghosts,
human flesh as food, drinking human blood, a
fake virgin, yep-all in the Bible, worlds greatest
TABLOID
eadon-com:
Why do you say that Acolyte-99?
Acolyte-99:
Because it's true, eadon. A whole lot of people
believe He's shown His power, and not one person
alive can truly disprove God's existence.
eadon-com:
god only reveals himself to the gullible. strange.
WickedMerlin:
I agree totally with BattleSiren
dlh:
twelve invisible polka dotted elephants have
shown themselves to me
eadon-com:
So Acolyte-99 are you saying that if people
claim that god has shown them their power then
we should believe those people?
BattleSiren:
for that matter: no |
