evolution is bogus

[lotrfreak]

just fixed the thing that tells where I am from.

LOTRfreak. Can i make a request? You've said you only have a short period of time online. I understand that. You typically reply to a number of different comments, questions, statements directed toward you in one sitting. I understand that too. Can you please try using QUOTE so we at least know which post you're replying to? As it stands now I skim what you've written because I can never figure out to what it refers. Getting five of your posts back to back is a little confusing without a reference. Thanks.

The dog was scary to me, and it was out of my hands. My older brother and sister were the ones who wanted a dog but wouldnt wake up when time to feed him.

Well then obviously whoever brought that dog back was a smart person. When your family gets a pet, they assume the responsibility of it. It saddens me to hear that your siblings were too irresponsble to wake up and feed a LIVING animal. I would wake up at any time, any day to feed any of my pets. I find it sad that your siblings were that mean to the poor dog not to feed it.

Just my two cents...

YEP, gotta agree with you Floppsylady.
it just makes me sad and to think of that poor dog not even getting FED for Gods Sake!!!
I mean, how long does it take to at least put some food out once or twice a day anyway??! Where were the parents, and didn't they care if the dog got fed?
I know my parents would have done something about if there was a need to.

How can a person(s) be so christain, and yet let a animal starve?

[lotrfreak]

I agree with you except, we werent making him starve...we had to wake up at like five and stuff to feed him. my siblings wouldnt feed him, but my mom would, it is just that my mom needed her rest, and if they werent going to take care of him she was going to give him away.

I agree with you to, babolaypo65.

Why does it seem like so many new people are coming here to post about their religious beliefs... or in this case non beliefs...
And choosing a pet board to do it on?!?!?! Seems a little suspicious to me.

I am getting tired of seeing people getting worked up over the same ole tiresome arguements.... I know this is the dog house but I think it odd a lot of new people keep joining with the same topics about "I believe or I don't"...


hmmmmmm..


This is from the "I don't believe in God thread"
Sarah summed it up perfectly. Lotrfreak- This is why I implied you were making trouble.
I don't know how many times this thread has started to die (albeit a slow painful death) and you post:
[i]I gave you what you wanted, why are you ignoring me"[i] (not a direct quote btw)
Why did you come to a pet board and start this??

OH and I reiterate this statement made by Mary:

it does sound like you are just trying to irritate people. this is suposed to be a pet site, and even tho there are non-pet sections, for your first posts to be something like this. ...
have you even told us about your pets or posted a pic?

Dear lotrfreak
I don’t think you’re necessarily stupid, just uneducated. I find your attitude provocative, immature, and lacking in understanding of other peoples points of view. Why don’t you just give up on this. Hasn’t it sunk in yet that NOBODY on Pet Talk can take you seriously. Neither believers nor non-believers.
What about a bit of tolerance and humility? Aren’t they mentioned in the Bible? Could it not be that our own individual, personal ideas about life and the universe aren’t the only right ones? There could be other “truths”.
Don’t you ever have any doubts at all about your beliefs? I find that very arrogant. Perhaps when you have lived for about another 50 years or so, you might have a slightly different and more tolerant view on things. Who knows?

But let’s not get personal, it was just meant to be a sarcastic comment to mirror the meaninglessness of this thread, and a way of involving our beloved pets into this discussion, which is on Pet Talk by the way. Even if this is the Dog House.

Fister is a cat, and a loveable, charming example of how evolution works in the real world. Believe it or don’t believe it, it’s up to you. I don't care. Unfortunately we can’t post pictures on this thread, so I can’t show you Fisters irrevocably final comment on all this (I take his opinion very seriously, we have to remember that cats are more intelligent than humans!). Perhaps I could start a thread on that too, at least it would involve pets.

I dont see why you are being so mean to me all of the time.

Well, lotrfreak, one of the problems is that you didn’t just state your opinion, you made a blatantly provocative statement and then tried to persuade us all that your opinion was the only right one, and that our opinions were wrong.
If only you had moved the “is” to the beginning of the post title and added a question mark, you might have got a little more respect for your opinions.

ohhh...now i thought you were totally nice and i believd you..i could have asked if evolution was bogus....but then you had to end it meanly. Yes this is a loving CHRISTIAN family. In fact, my parents just celebrated a HAPPY 23 anniversary on may 23. But, what you are trying to say is that Christians have a pewrfect life or are you saying because Christians are supposed to be an exampe, our pets cant die? I miss my cats very much, and just because I am a Christian doesn't mean they cant die. we didnt want them to die, it just happened. You have no right to say that. And you also said tah no one takes me seriously. Tell me then, why this thread is 32 pages long. obviously everyone here has no life. If you cant take me seriously and yet you post, you obviously have no life. EVERYONE keeps saying i think only MY ideas are right and everyone who goes against MY beliefs is wrong. did i ever do anything here to make you say that. NO. i stated my beliefs just as you did. when i sated my beliefs you sated yours...what's the problem? You obviously cant get me any other way then tell me how i am wrong because i say"my beliefs are right and yours are wrong" what is ya'lls problem. find a quote somewhere where i said something even remotely close to that. i just got on a new board and hoped everyone would like me. it is a christian forum. you get blessing from people if they think you deserve one or maybe you have touched them and then you can go do stuff. you also get blessings if you post. I only had 7 blessings and i couldn't do anything to earn more blessingsbecause i didnt have enough blessings to do them. i told them my problem, and guess what? Now I have 556 blessings from all my friends at that forum. I couldnt say the same for all you. yes, i did make a bad title. i have apologized for it, explained why i made such a title and restarted the thread. are you not able to forgive me?

I feel that this is a bit of a cheap shot, John. I don't think it would normally happen in ANY pet-loving home, regardless of religious orientation (or lack thereof). Even though the post wasn't directed towards me or my family, I feel a bit slighted by this 'singling out.' Regardless, I know the gist of the point you were making.

LOTRFreak,

And you also said tah no one takes me seriously. Tell me then, why this thread is 32 pages long. obviously everyone here has no life. If you cant take me seriously and yet you post, you obviously have no life.

Have you noticed how many times people have started conversations on different topics? And how many times have you brought us back with "hmmm...I gave you an answer and you are ignoring it......" (did you ever stop to think they might be ignoring you)?

And while we're quoting from the registry (as you lovingly did 6 posts ago):

Welcome to Pet Talk. This is a family-friendly community built for the discussion of pets, people, and all that goes into our relationships with the animals in our lives.

Please explain to me how religion fits into your pets' lives.

I'm all for a good discussion and gettin' off topic but this is getting ridiculous. We're going in circles. You can't persuade anyone to change their beliefs, especially in the manner you are employing. Say a private prayer for them and move on to different topics.

I do wish your parents many more happy years together and I wish you the best at the new board.

lotrfreak, thank you for reading the information, what you do with it is your choice. I'm sorry I haven't posted before this, but I have been REALLY busy and haven't had time for PT, unfortunately.

Not enough time for PT?!?!?!!?

[jonza]

Sorry lotrfreak, I agree with Zippy-kat that my last comment was a bit of a “cheap shot”, although I wasn’t trying to “single out” anything, please excuse me for this. It’s just that you have kept on regailing us about Christian beliefs in the case of evolution, and then you tell a story of your pets which unfortunately reads like a bit of a horror story if one doesn’t know any better. Remember, we are in Cyberspace, talking to a wide variety of people from all over the world with a multitude of different beliefs. One of the problems with communicating on forums and chat boards is that it is easy to think that we know the people we talk to. But we rarely know if we’re getting the whole story or not untill we have built up a more personal relationship with them. We sometimes don’t know anything about their cultural background or views at all.

If you insist on trying to propagate your views to others, you are going to get a reaction. I am in no way anti-religious, but I detest extremism in any form, whether it be Christian or Muslim or for that matter racial or political. I have been through the mill once too, when I thoughtlessly posted some very strong political satire in the Dog House at the wrong time. Boy did I get dumped on!

quote: obviously everyone here has no life

You see? Now you’re doing it again. Don’t let it get to you. We mustn’t take these things personally. I definately didn’t intend to hurt you, but that reaction will only escalate things even more. I’m glad to see that you are posting on other forums as well, so let’s swap stories and pics about our lovely animals instead!

It looks as if evolution has sort of “died” on us.

[lotrfreak]

thanks for your apology. I almost thought that like everybody hated me here

[lotrfreak]

i guess that is true...we can end this if ya'll want
