Typical quote: "I would love an afterlife, that is the problem. It is so nice and cosy to believe such a thing that perhaps it is believed by the gullible only" - eadon-com

Below is a transcript of channel 103 chat. Channel 103 is a place where religion is discussed, (atheists battle the Christians). (I am eadon-com by the way.)

eadon-com: Women always like a sense of humour in a man, but then again they like enigmatic men.

Dudge: These are not contrary characteristics, eh?

JGR: I can remember the first time I fell on love. We were both 12 or so, at the beach, she was the most beautiful blonde and well...of course, she ignored me and nothing happened but...

Isolani: There was a girl who played on the girl's water polo team. I of course played on the guy's team. We practiced together sometimes. Didn't know till a few years later she had a "crush" on me. She was so gorgeous I couldn't talk in her presence. I'm old now, and happily married, so I must watch myself.

eadon-com: I think there are Dudge

Lyrica: you can't set enigma and humour as 2 different sides ..

Isolani: Admiration vs. lust. The older I get the more convinced I become that it's admiration.

eadon-com: why are enigma and humour not contradictory?

Lyrica: you can still have a fantastic sense of humour and after 14 days I still know zip bout you.. :)

Dudge: Exactly.

eadon-com: ah! Perhaps this is true. Perhaps it isn't. Enigmatic clowns exist?

Isolani: We are biological specimens, not spiritual entities, according to eadon's way of thinking. So lust for him is ok. For me it's a not-good thing, if it isn't directed toward my wife.

eadon-com: OK Lyrica I will tell you a joke

Lyrica: okies, I'm listening :)

eadon-com: A burglar breaks into a house. Upon smashing a window he hears a voice, which says "Hi, I'm Jesus!" He ignores the voice, thinking it to be an artefact of his imagination, but then again the voice is audible to his hearing! "Hi I'm Jesus" and the voice adds "and Moses is watching You!"

eadon-com: So the burglar says "hey! you" who says that? for there is no light in the house, all is dark...And lo and behold the voice says, "me, Jesus". The burglar finds a light switch and presses it and he sees a parrot!

BishopHavoc: this is a good one

eadon-com: and he says to the parrot, "who would be stupid enough to call a parrot 'JESUS'"??? And the parrot says....

eadon-com: .... wait for it....

Lyrica: Moses got to be a doggie

eadon-com: .... "The same guy who calls his rottweiler MOSES!"

eadon-com: Booom Booom!

Lyrica: hehe yep..

Isolani: cymbal crash

eadon-com: Now that isn't particularly funny...

BishopHavoc: I like that one

Isolani: I liked it.

Lyrica: that was sweet :)

eadon-com: But I bet I'm much less enigmatic to Lyrica now :)

Parapet: Are you ready to BURN IN HELL FOR ETERNITY?

Isolani: You are unfathomable eadon.

Lyrica: Ill let you in on a little secret. I'm not into enigma guys... I have enough of that in my life. .... :)

BishopHavoc: sorry I ruined your timing though eadon, me and my big mouth will try to be more circumspect

Isolani: Naw BishopHavoc you did ok.

Lyrica: wasn't cos of you I guessed it , BishopHavoc :)

eadon-com: BishopHavoc, your misplaced enthusiasm is always beloved

BishopHavoc: :-[

BishopHavoc: :-)

Isolani: You ruined it BishopHavoc!

BishopHavoc: :-[

Isolani: You were completely neutral in your treatment of the joke?

Lyrica: Come on dudes, be more of an enigma when it comes to show your 'hate' towards each other :)

Isolani: Where's that smile boy?

Dudge: What's up this evening? Everyone trying to figure out what Lyrica likes in a guy, and imitate that? ;)

Isolani: In fifth grade Mrs. Tucker told us never (or rarely) use the word "hate" Lyrica.

eadon-com: Can you hate the word hate Isolani?

Lyrica: well, at 2 am hate was the only hostile word I could spell =P

Lyrica: hostile

Isolani: Good question eadon.

Dudge: Hate is just an extreme dislike...sometimes appropriate

Isolani: Despise vs. hate. Is there a difference in meaning?

eadon-com: Despise is more aloof

Isolani: When Daffy Duck tells Elmer Fudd that Elmer is "despicable" does it sound like "I hate you"? No. I rest my case your honor. No further questions.

BishopHavoc: Xtians 777 non-Xtians 1

Lyrica: despicable is such an awesome word.

Dudge: Speaking of cartoon characters, I have a joke...will try to do a little better than the last one told in here.

Isolani: Another courting joke?

Dudge: Mini and Mickey Mouse are getting a divorce...

BishopHavoc: NnnOOOOo!

Isolani: I know the punch line to this one Dudge so I'll keep shut.

Dudge: So, after reading over the papers, the lawyer says to Mickey, "So, I see you accuse your wife of being crazy?"

Dudge: Mickey replies "No, no, no! I said she was f*ckin' goofy, not crazy"

BishopHavoc: very nice Dudge lol

JGR: I just reported you Dudge.

JGR: :)

Lyrica: oh no, we will have all this fuss in here again =P

eadon-com: we all love Dudge and his jokes. The old ones are the best ;)

Isolani: Once I typed a word with asterisks and was promptly ejected for a time from this channel. [Typing one of the more extreme profanities can get one temporarily banned from the channel] I used the asterisks!

Dudge: If Dudge got banned there would be much more fuss than over Spearfish or madpole...:)

Dudge: There would be open rebellion!

Lyrica: lol - if you should say so yourself :)

Isolani: Well, it would be without provocation should Dudge be ejected. We all would realize that. And that would make a big difference. Then we'd... well, I dunno what we'd do. Bleat like sheep I guess.

Dudge: For the most part, I think I'm liked by those I care whether or not I am liked by...:) Always a good thing. But I'd never get muzzled or banned.

BishopHavoc: why?

Dudge: hmm :) I've been nuked a couple times for some witty jokes regarding erict(*)'s handle, but that's all. :)

Isolani: If I got banned it would be a blip in the internet wilderness. I wouldn't care that much.

sin


BishopHavoc: narrow is the path that leads to life

BishopHavoc: but wide is the highway that leads to destruction

eadon-com: I don't know, BishopHavoc. People are very good at surviving into old age. the path of life, considering how stupid people are, must be wide indeed.

BishopHavoc: but no-one survives death

BishopHavoc: except him who has conquered death, namely Christ

eadon-com: you won't survive death BishopHavoc?

BishopHavoc: sure, we ALL will

eadon-com: I think not :)

BishopHavoc: I was speaking metaphorically

eadon-com: yes, of course

BishopHavoc: ah. nevertheless I will see you in heaven, like it or not :-)

eadon-com: I would love an afterlife BishopHavoc, that is the problem. It is so nice and cosy to believe such a thing that perhaps it is believed by the gullible only

BishopHavoc: then there is no problem except turning from sin and becoming joyful

eadon-com: life without sin is life without joy

BishopHavoc: rest assured that anyone who continues to sin without coverage will be miserable in the end, if not sooner

eadon-com: miserable? I find many sinners to be wonderfully fulfilled people.

eadon-com: the christians try nothing and don't know what they are missing

BishopHavoc: trust me I know what I am not missing

eadon-com: from experience?

BishopHavoc: it is not wise to fool one's-self

GodSnorter: missing what... drugs, alcohol, sex, dead brain cells, disease?

BishopHavoc: yes, GodSnorter among other things

eadon-com: yeah, all of those good things GodSnorter :)

eadon-com: but I suspect that BishopHavoc has not experienced what he preaches about, namely a life of sin

BishopHavoc: methinks someone has overlooked disease in there

eadon-com: A disease can be good BishopHavoc

BishopHavoc: not likely

GodSnorter: I can have as much fun in absence of "sin" as anyone can with it...

eadon-com: I'm not saying you can't, GodSnorter, I am merely saying that you are not qualified to say so and nor is BishopHavoc

BishopHavoc: trust me I am qualified

GodSnorter: (sin is going against the teachings of the church..., I don't follow a specific church, so I don't "sin," I go against my personal morals when "sinning")

BishopHavoc: yes GodSnorter lets set up our own rules, I'm sure they will be quite good

GodSnorter: all I am "certain" of in my belief system - I am a theist... I believe in a higher being, a God

TheVicar: Interacting with non-Christians provides an interesting challenge. The Christian must persist and hold his head up high.

BishopHavoc: no TheVicar the christian should be humble, with all due respect of course, TheVicar

TheVicar: BishopHavoc, humility involves stand proud when all is lost and when seems to being defeated. Christ is the Ultimate Victory.

BishopHavoc: true

GodSnorter: I have never touched alcohol, drugs of any kind, and won't have sex before marriage.

eadon-com: GodSnorter, you are missing a lot of fun :)

TyroWarlock: poor thing GodSnorter... Have you smoked?

GodSnorter: never

PrayingMattress: the christian should be an example

TheVicar: GodSnorter your morals are truly high. One can be a Child of God without being a Christian.

TyroWarlock: yeah, do your homework while on speed

eadon-com: why should the higher being deny you your fun?

TyroWarlock: I've only had alcohol, and not drunk have I gotten

DarthDeath: I say.

DarthDeath: drunk gotten have you not, hm?

GodSnorter: at the academy, I see plenty of examples, my closest friends - Jew and witch, roommates, atheist, agnostic, Lutheran, Catholic, Mormon... 38 students, at least 10 different major religions...

TyroWarlock: I ain't think as you drunk I am oss ifur

eadon-com: Good constanoon afterble!

FoamingFundy: everyone a creation child of God but not necessarily a child of God by rebirth, that is the must important to be born again

TyroWarlock: intelligent people need to join secret societies

TyroWarlock: skull 'n bones or masons will suit you, you'll be happy

Parsifal: Cor! Wish I was a mason...

PrayingMattress: I don't think the bible says alcohol is a sin, getting drunk maybe

Parsifal: Jesus drank wine at weddings

FoamingFundy: secret societies are generally of the devil and not holy at all, just a false front of holiness

TheVicar: No one needs secrecy if one has nothing to hide. Those who live in deep secrecy have a lot to hide.

TyroWarlock: Most everything I like, or am interested in, is of the devil according to you :)

FoamingFundy: Jesus never drank fermented wine, it was forbidden

eadon-com: he probably did, FoamingFundy, in those days the wine was safer than water, the alcohol killed bacteria

BishopHavoc: free beer in heaven!!!!!!!!!!!! sign up now !!!!!!!!!hell has only sour milk!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Parsifal: apropos this discussion Gentlemen... THIS GM is a little drunk

eadon-com: <clinks beer cans with Parsifal>

Parsifal: wine actually eadon, in my case

eadon-com: GodSnorter, you are a theist, and yet you are very specific that drinking and sex before marriage is wrong. are you a christian?

TheVicar: eadon, one can have high morals without being a Christian.

GodSnorter: (alcohol is not a sin, IMO, getting drunk is)

FoamingFundy: eadon one doesn't have to be a Christian to know wrong and right

eadon-com: yes, but why is sex before marriage not moral?

WickedMerlin: the concept of sin is purely christian

wombats: as all christians are necessarily sinners

WickedMerlin: and all non-Christians can't be sinners

GodSnorter: I don't believe it's immoral... but I believe it is immoral if you do not intend to spend your life with that one partner...

TheVicar: eadon, the primary purpose of sex is procreation. Any other purpose is a waste of human energy.

eadon-com: I am referring to specific sins, ie drinking alcohol and sex before marriage, that are not necessarily evil.

GodSnorter: marriage is a way to insure that two partners stay with each other for life

TheVicar: Procreation should take place in marriage so the children born have a stable home.

DarthDeath: awwww.

Parsifal: cobblers GodSnorter

eadon-com: Now, I do believe in marriage and the stable institution of marriage, I am a married and faithful chap, though not religious

Parsifal: 43% divorce in my country, although 93 % marry

eadon-com: we evolved to be fairly faithful to one partner, but it is not universally true

Parsifal: evolved? ha!

TheVicar: eadon, good! The secret of success in life is Fidelity (to one's mate), Frugality (in the home budget) and Faith (in Jesus Christ). Homes with those characteristics tend to be happy and productive.

eadon-com: I subscribe only to the first of TheVicar's 3 values: if married then be faithful. But even if I subscribe to that, I leave it to others to decide for themselves

TheVicar: eadon, sex before marriage could involve heavy petting without the risk of copulation. The latter should be reserved for marriage.

Parsifal: oh dear then. Aren't I a sinner TheVicar

TyroWarlock: anyone HERE in any secret society?

TyroWarlock: kind of stupid of me to ask, because you aren't supposed to tell anyways :)

eadon-com: copulation before marriage is not evil, TheVicar

Parsifal: it's bloody good fun TheVicar!!

GodSnorter: do you consider everything BUT sexual intercourse sex, when considering virginity?

TheVicar: Parsifal, we are ALL sinners. However, we all sin in different ways. Only Christ was sinLESS.

eadon-com: I won't ask where TheVicar draws the line about what is allowed before marriage :)

TyroWarlock: heavy petting eh

eadon-com: Well, for the sake of the argument I would argue that full penetration is necessary to lose one's virginity

TheVicar: eadon, petting is good before marriage since it allows one to prepare for marriage. However, copulation should be reserved for procreation in marriage.

eadon-com: it seems crazy that say mutual self gratification is not a sin and copulation is

WickedMerlin: not really eadon - a finger might do the job - does that count as petting?

TheVicar: eadon, copulation involves the risks of disease transmission and procreation. That is why it should be saved for marriage, itself.

eadon-com: ah, no, not the finger, penetration has to be done with the old John Thomas :)

GodSnorter: hmm? (don't know the acronym)

eadon-com: Only then does one lose one's cherry

TheVicar: eadon, the reproductive organs themselves should not be accessed in any way before marriage.

eadon-com: ah TheVicar, so let us say that if copulation was without risk of transmission of disease, then would sex before marriage be a non-sin?

WickedMerlin: I wonder why God is so hung up on willies and c**ts

TheVicar: eadon, restraint has two purposes before marriage: good health and prevention of reproduction,

Parsifal: the RULES, TheVicar has had lain down for him, and now wants to lay down for us The Rules. For me the rules for any citizen of a Democracy are simple a) Obey the law. b) Pay taxes. After that..do what you want

TyroWarlock: I don't like A

TheVicar: Parsifal, these rules are MORAL rules, not legal rules. The moral code is voluntary but recommended. The Moral Code involves Fidelity, Frugality and Faith. One ignores that Code at one's own risk. One can just look all around to see the unhappiness of the "loose" life. Disease and poverty are rampant.

GodSnorter: kind of sad, I've gone farther with my best friend, than I have with a steady g/f of 104 days...

TyroWarlock: I hope you also realize what "steady girlfriend" used to mean ;) but it doesn't anymore, so I'll shush

GodSnorter: shortest - two weeks... (she dumped me for not having sex :-))

Parsifal: ah Have sex with the next one GodSnorter...and she'll stay longer!!

eadon-com: TheVicar, if no risk of disease or pregnancy, then is sex before marriage a non-sin?

TheVicar: eadon, there is always risk of disease and pregnancy, even in marriage. However, in marriage those risks can be handled effectively. Out of marriage those risks can by fatal.

Parsifal: In CANADA, in the 1960s, there were a fair number of men serving terms of LIFE imprisonment for the crime of performing oral sex on their wives

TheVicar: Parsifal, those Canadian laws probably prevented a lot of disease. Now they are gone and diseases from those sources has skyrocketed.

eadon-com: TheVicar, the question I am asking is this: Is sex before marriage inherently a sin, or is it only a sin because of the risk of disease transmission or the risk of pregnancy

TheVicar: eadon, risks cannot be separated from acts. There was never a way to do it in the past and there will be no way to do it in the future.

Parsifal: ha! TheVicar. I don't think I am a criminal if I do that to my wife. ( pretty P***ed off if anybody else did though...)

WickedMerlin: well, if it calms you Parsifal, I have no intention of going down on your wife

Parsifal: thx WickedMerlin...you cooled me down thank you

BishopHavoc: GO THEVICAR!!!! I will relief pitch for in about 30 mins.

TheVicar: Parsifal, even in marriage, the PRIMARY purpose of sex should be PROCREATION. Other uses of it wastes energy and promotes risks even in marriage.

Dudge: Anything else done for enjoyment "wastes energy" too?

TheVicar: Parsifal, one could go Para diving every day with one's wife and BOTH may end up as casualties after a year. Just because one can engage in an activity does not mean one SHOULD engage in that activity.

TyroWarlock: sex wastes energy?

eadon-com: sex is the best waste of energy going? why else bother with energy?

TyroWarlock: it actually creates energy

eadon-com: The surrealist painter Dahli abstained from sex while painting a masterpiece. he derived energy from his swollen plums

TyroWarlock: the energy he got from there eadon, preparing for it :) it was still made

wombats: my favorite Dahli painting: one moment before awakening from a dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate
