[...out of context quotes]


I could do that too, (repost out of context quotes) however, I decline to do so.

 
One can lead a horse to water however, if one holds the horse's head under, that horse will drown.

Actually, pop rocks are edible!!


They aren't however, actually "rocks" are they?  Brand name misnomers hardly count.  


I didn't say they were.

Within the context of redefining "rocks", (as opposed to "poprocks"), as 'edible substances' the implication was direct.  That's why context is important to understanding and why those who eschew reason tend to take things out of context.

"The 'gentleman' doth protest too much."

The out of context quote is an inapplicable opinion, (hiding behind an unattributed quote).  The 'lady' doth maketh too many unsupported assertions and doesn't enjoy having them challenged, ('protsted').

Oh good grief.  Give your brain a rest.  I made a comment in jest.  You do the same occasionally.  No need to make a big deal out of a simple thing.

If it makes you feel better to think that, go right ahead.  You are making such a deal over something so simple.  That's petty.

The point was to emphasize the example of taking things out of context which you provided.  Thank you for that, btw. I will agree that taking things out of context occasionally can be humorous and yes, I've done that specifically for the humor value too.

I never mentioned that it makes me "feel" any particular way so, go ahead and continue making unsupported speculations.

This would be as opposed to your making something so simple out of something within a larger context?  I'm not sure if that's "petty" or not since such a determination is too often a (faulty) judgement call.  Although it was amusing to see you 'spring forth' so quickly in defense of a fellow fundie.  Circle the wagons and all that, aye?

Too much highschool drama goin' on in here. Let's get this thread back on track! Let's all follow a god that lets this be in his holy book-

Psalm 137:9
"Happy is the one who takes your babies and smashes them against the rocks!"

Can't have those Samarians rejecting the xtian "god", can the isrealites?  That'll teach 'em!

Typical to post a Bible verse out of context without the full story of what the verse means.

That is not according to my Bible but rather according to your total lack of understanding of the Bible.

Exactly.  Many enjoy taking verses out of context, without the full event or story, and twist them to meet their agenda of making God look horrible (even though they don't believe there is God.)

 @ jcribb & newbies:

  You know why, right?  
  The whole agenda behind "d&d" is for trolls to lure in believers on the premise that they are "searching for the truth", while they do what they can to try and provoke believers to insult them, lose their temper, get them to do anything that is not "Christ-like" so they can get their "kicks".  
  
They freely indulge in reusing the same words of their opponents and in turning those words against them.  They always will sound as if it is the responsibility of believers to provide evidence that what the forum is all about is legitimate because they have no evidence of their own.  
 
 D&D is where trolls LOVE to post conflicting information, question believers in an insincere manner, start flaming discussions, try to turn people against each other, "innocently" harass forum members that don't agree with them, and not have to worry much about warnings from Admin.

If you've noticed, they even freely take the negative emotions they've tried to stir up on some threads and carry them into other threads trying to "keep the drama going" in any possible way that they can.  

Their true aganda is to find the believers that are "new", the ones that aren't grounded in the "Word" like you & I.  If they can get them to question their beliefs...and with them not being grounded in the "Word", they will begin to have doubts.  If they don't get the answers in time, they may have reason to abandon their faith, abandon God.  

Many have wondered why people that don't believe in God would spend so much time in  "religious" discussions conversing with believers,  when they consider them to be 'lunatics'.  It's because they are "preying".

Consider their agenda before wasting much more of life's valuable time in d&d.

Dissect away "falcon9-troll", I've got better things to do with my time today!! :thumbsup:
