I tolerate your stupidity don't I  ;)

I asked the fundies on this board to explain this guy to me

I don't understand his statements on demons and witchcraft, etc..

I thought this interview was fascinating, especially the connection to Perry

I have yet to figure out your obsession with the winky smiley ;) .   Do you use it because you are flirting with the poster?  Or because you think of it as the Sarah Palin gesture that always comes after she feels like she has said something smart and cute?

Whenever Tony does any of the following three things, you can immediately dismiss his post as having anything substance within it. 

1 - Start the sentence with "lol".
2 - Have the winky smiley in his post.
3 - Use the word "logic" in any context.

I give you credit for at least trying to listen

I heard this interview yesterday in the car and I just found it fascinating to hear what sounds like a normal human being talking seriously about casting out demons in a geographic area, talking about witch craft etc..

I never heard of this guy or his particular christian group before but I guess he has some ties to Perry and had something to do with the prayer thing that Perry did a month or so ago

I'm tolerant of most all religious view unless/until someone religious belief requires them to start killing people, molesting children (for example that fundie Mormon dude in TX) or start trying to alter secular society to conform to a particular set of religious beliefs (and that I think is one of the stated goals of this persons group

Like I said in a prior post, I just find it really interesting to hear what sounds like a sane person talking about such far out stuff.   I think the commentator did a decent job drawing him out and getting him to explain his beliefs in more detail.   He comments the Kenyan preacher who was filmed doing that "ceremony" or whatever it was to protect Palin from witchcraft and his only issue was that it should have been done in private so that they wouldn't have been criticized for it.

Yes, and also your hate for non-Christisans.

And your buddy 333... who thinks black people should have to be slaves again.

All good examples.

As long as they don't bother me or harm anyone else, I don't have a problem with any of it - Christianity, witchcraft, druid shit - whatever - just leave others alone and we'll get along fine.

Most believers are sane and perfectly normal though.  At least IMO.

yeah, I'm not saying this guy is insane but the stuff he appear to believe (demons possessing cities, talking about how you can't beat some kinds of demons, witchraft etc.. seems crazy to me (and i would say the same about standard Catholicism, Islam, etc..)

I'm aware that my lack of belief might very well seem crazy to someone who has those beliefs

Don't have a thing against Jews,Hindu's,Zorostrians,Buddists,Taoists...etc etc. There's only one group I don't really like. I don't ever remember 3 saying blacks should be slaves. But then again u idiot, I'm pretty anti-religion anyway.

Won't disagree...some shit is far out there to me.  Used to work with a couple of Jehova's Witnesses.  They never celebrated or partied for anything except this one time out of the year when the bible told them it was ok (if I remember right it had something to do with peoples souls being admitted to Heaven at a certain time).

Hell, we were all on the road traveling for work one New Years Eve and they wouldn't even have a drink with me!  Spent New Years at the hotel bar with a bunch of people I didn't even know, lol.

I used to listen to NPR at my desk at work before they made it where we cant stream stuff from the internet...the fackers.

It does get pretty bad, there is this one lady that comes on at around 2 or so central time and I swear this old lady sounds like she is 95 yrs old. You can literally here the trembling in her voice when she talks.

LOL the smiley face is meant to be a passive aggresive fuck you, I think anybody that can think logically could understand that.  ;)

Maybe in that case I should include a lol or a ;) so it would relate to you on your own level.
