thank goodness this is settled!!! funny thing is that the person that started has been gone for most of the debate!!!!
...........ain't goin' near it
(chortle chortle)
Richard, get your head out of the gutter!! lol
and we are not doing such a great job 'controlling' the animals.Quote:

the god I believe in would not let us humans do those things!
and oh, I did not think that lotrfreak was being rude or confrontational at all when she started this thread.
she/he just asked a question in a straight forward way.
afterall, this IS the doghouse...........................:confused:
I hope she/he was not scared off :eek:
I thought it was confrontational. Especially for someone with only 2-3 posts to their name. It does give one pause for thought....
I believe this thread was started in "General" and then was moved to the DoghouseQuote:

I'm not sure I get the conection with only having 2-3 posts :confused: is there a minimum # before you can get confrontational? ;)Quote:

i see you're from everett, wa. i grew up there :cool: :)
Hmmm, using my magnificent powers of deduction....
Newbie comes on PT and writes in a blunt way, that they don't believe in evolution and that they won't believe it and we can't prove it to them. Could it be that they're just trying to start trouble?
A mystery worthy of the ancients.:rolleyes: ;)
They certainly got people talking! BTW, the only limit on posting is in the advertising section where you must have 10 posts to your name :)
i agree with yorkster, i dont think that she meant anything bad, she prabably forgot that people might believe in that, and again, i am sorry for all the comments i did make, you beliefs is your decision, i was rude, not lotrfreak. biggest apologies to Rubymutt, Soledad, and ibaker. if i forgot anyone, i am sorry too. i will never shoot my mouth at you guys again. if i do, stop me!!!!
don't sweat it JF. Those of us who frequent the Doghouse are aware that passions sometimes get the better of people regarding contriversial topics. The fact that you recognized that you got a little carried away and that you appologized for it says a lot of good things about you.
Regarding lotrfreak, where ever he or she may be - your profile doesn't even list any pets. By itself its ok, becuase you could certainly love other people's pets or care enough about animals to want to be part of our Pettalk community. But show yourself now, and rejoin the thread.
The thread starter was lotrfreak's first post ever to PT. (he/she followed up with another). One's beliefs about evolution often relate to one's beliefs about God, religion, etc. While he/she may not have intended it to be confrontational, it was a challenge. it was issued as a challenge: he/she said it was bogus, and then said: "who can prove me wrong?"
I chose not to debate something that is so close to most folks core belief system with a total stranger. While I feel I know you all, I don't know this person, or what they would do with the information I posted.
To me it was just an interesting choice, pragmatically speaking, for a first post to a pet forum.
hmmmmm... i have a sneaking suspicion that this lotrfreak person is perhaps a "lurker" that was trying (unsucessfully thank goodness) to stir up trouble to the point that someone would quit or get tossed out.......
.....just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean they are not out to get me ;)

no problems here JF!Quote:

I agree with catland that you did the right thing by recognizing & offering an apology.
I did not really think you were out of line- just stating how you felt about something that is obviously very important to you.
Thanks anyway for your apology and hope to see you around PT in the future! :)
thanx for forgiveness.
about lotrfreak, she said she is having trouble posting. so she is not hiding from us, just a little computer problem
He/she is logged in right now so I guess the "computer Problems"
suddenly got cleared up.:rolleyes:
This is too funny.......:D :D
no, the computer problems were she would type something, click to post it and it wouldnt work. she/he is not trying to hide, and lets not make fun or anything else, k???
Right........:rolleyes:
how come everones else can except the fact she isnt hiding but you?????? i do not mean this in a bad way but please, you are stearing for trouble with you comments.
Sure, you bet.....Okey dokey..... :rolleyes:
all i have to say is let us stop right here before anyone gets mad at any one else. all agreed???
What a funny thread...:rolleyes:
Umm...nobody can "prove" that evolution is or is not correct, sorry, but honestly I don't think you can.
I'm with mugsy's theory....I do believe God created the earth, but I don't think "7 days" etc. should be taken LITERALLY at all!
And honestly, a newcomer posting a controversial thread like this makes me wonder about their intentions also.
Jesus Freak, how about you add another few of these !!! to your sentences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

ya,it is just a habit. if you look at it, this is kind of a funny thread.
you and mugsy are like my uncle, he thinks that the seven days was really seven years. know one knows but God.
I don't think it's 7 years either...certainly *much* longer then that....I don't believe in interpreting everything *literally.* My opinion. Who knows what a DAY is to God?
I guess the whole point is with religion...why bother arguing? Nobody can PROVE one way is right or wrong...we're still all going to believe differently...even people in the same religion interpret things in different ways. I guess we'll all just find out if we were right or wrong when we die....
JF, is Sandy a dog? A lab perchance?
How do you know that lotrfreak is female? How can she communicate with you - but not the rest of the forum - if she has computer problems?Quote:

I think I'll need seven years to work this thread out :)
LotRfreak= that is a lurker or a troll or something?
Jesus Freak/Kerry Greyson. pick on ID and stick to it and make sure you don't answer yourself either. We have had that before.
How do you know so much about this LotRfreak person?
And HOW FISHY is it that they BOTH HAVE FREAK IN THEIR NAME!!!
I think it is pretty funny that a 14 year old thinks that they can preach and knows more than the rest of us. I am a Christian. I am not disagreeing with what you are saying at least from what I read anyway. But Religion is a touchy subject here. Be prepared to run with the big dogs when you aproach the subject.
:)
Amen. Oops......Can I say that? LOLQuote:

Run with the big dogs or stay on the porch.
I wouldn't touch the rest of this debate with a ten foot dino bone. :D
Is that a 65 million year old dino bone?? hehhee

i dont know why she/he can reach me and not you guys, she privat emailed me. i will stick with JF for my id. i agree, lets just state our opinions and leave everyone else alone. and i am not 14. just thought i would clear that up. and even if i was, what is wrong with a 14 year old preaching, i believe it says in the Bible it says you shouldnt let any talk you down cause you are young. so i am just going to ignore that comment, cause if your a christian too, you would know that that is in the Bible. right???
I even did the math with a calculator. your Birthday says ##-##-1989 doesn't that make you 14? Either that or you have the wrong birthday
2003
-
1989
-------
0014 years
course I am not good with Math so maybe my calculator screwed up.
I am sure the Bible says exactly that 'don't talk down to young people' yep! I read that last week.
And I AM a Christian, so don't question me or my beliefs.
I was simply stating that it is pretty funny that a TEENager thinks they know everything. I know I did when I was that age.
I think that is even one of the stupid questions in General under that thread. Why is it that bad things happen when we aren't teenagers and know everything or something along those lines.
There are still other things that you have stated that make some of the others and I suspicious, sorry it is in our second nature, we have been screwed with before on PT.
ok I think I have finally figgered out my mistake, I said I wasn't good with math.
You haven't had a birthday yet right so you are only 13?
ok that makes it soooooooooooo much better
I would have just left it that you were 14.
I think that if you remove all the adjectives in these troublesome posters names, you can get a better description of the individual.
I don't know a single 'christian' that would put the word freak and Jesus in the same sentence structure. Nor do I know a single 'christian' that would use some of the derragatory comments JF has posted in his/her posts.....
Instead of stirring up trouble here on PT (Doghouse or not), go preach somewhere else....
hi i am back. i want you to know that i am turning 13 on saturday. i do not believe i know everything although i do strongly believe God knows everything. he has put i sextillionth (smallest number i could think of) in the Bible. I believe all of it to be true. On the matter of someone putting Jesus and freak in the same subject, perhaps you haven't heard the song by DC Talk. Yes, i do have pets. I absolutely love cats and i have four. Smokey, Friskey, Joy, and wouldn't ya know, Oreo. i also have a goldfish named Nike who will be turning two years old in November
