1 Corinthians 15:58    

Galatians 6:9

[paraphrasing Buffy The Vampire Slayer quote]:
"If I were trapped in a remote cabin in the woods with a xtian and a werewolf and had only two silver bullets in my gun,
I shoot the xtian.  Twice. Through the eyes."

Is this an implied threat?  I am glad it will be in the archives.  People need to be careful what they seem to be saying or implying.

No, it's clearly labeled as a paraphrasing of a line from Buffy The Vampire Slayer.  A "threat", (sans implication), would be something like another xtian Inquisition, Crusades against "non-believers" or, biblical quotes about not "suffering a witch to live".  Archive that.

I'm well aware it is a phrase.  It had nothing to do with my posting of Bible verses today, and I believe there are implications hiding behind that phrase for what you are really intending to say.  Like I said, people need to be very careful of what they say and/or "quote" that appears to be on the "threatening" side.  Yes, I have archived all of it.  Thanks for the advice, but I already did it.

I'm well aware it is a phrase.

It's a paraphrase, (which does not mean, 'two phrases').

 It had nothing to do with my posting of Bible verses today ...

That's because you're blinded by your 'faith'.  The examples given of witch burnings/hangings and religious "crusades" against the "infidels" were emphasizing prior threats stemming from bible-thumping fundies, (who moved from thumping with books to doing so at swordpoint).

I believe there are implications hiding behind that phrase for what you are really intending to say.  Like I said, people need to be very careful of what they say and/or "quote" that appears to be on the "threatening" side.

As has been reiterated before; you can "believe" all the nonsense you wish however, before you falsely accuse someone of a 'perceived' "threat", check your own religion for blood-stained hands and have some actual evidence, (e.g., crusades, inquistions, etc.).  Your demonstrably skewed misperceptions do not constitute valid evidence.  They merely constitute a fundie's specious opinion.

Seriously Falcone,dont you have anything better to do then chase after supporters of the bible and use your arrogant ignorance that blinds you to thinking you are wise?

Why dont you go help an old lady across the street and do something beneficial for a change?

Thank you for that.  This is beginning to really go overboard.

Your over-confidence in your postings are blinding you to being careful what you say and how you act.  I sense your "paraphrase" as an implied threat.  No matter what kind of "words" you wish to sugar-coat what you posted, they won't work.  You meant what you posted and you are accountable for saying it, especially in a simple Bible verse thread where people are sharing verses.  That had absolutely nothing to do with my posting of those verses.  It's what is in your brain that is "seeing" the things you are seeing and accusing ones of.  You are going overboard now, and need to be accountable for your "threatening/implied" words, through the use of your quotes you think are so great.

Seriously Falcone

The 'nym is 'falcon9', Trailer-Hitch.

... dont you have anything better to do then chase after supporters of the bible and use your arrogant ignorance that blinds you to thinking you are wise?

There's no need to chase bible-thumpers anywhere; they sprout-up like weeds and arrogantly believe that these forums are some sort of exclusive xtian country clubs where they can proselytize their religious propaganda unopposed.

Why dont you go help an old lady across the street and do something beneficial for a change?

Why don't you keep tacitly supporting the Westboro Baptist fundies with your religious bigotry and I'll keep opposing that type of superstitious ignorance which brought us the dark ages?  Alternatively, there's an 'ignore function' available as an option for you blind-faithers.

Your over-confidence in your postings are blinding you to being careful what you say and how you act.

Being confident that 'bible-thumping' requotes of religious mythology constitutes proselytizing isn't an 'over-confidence' nor, an implied 'threat', fundie.

I sense your "paraphrase" as an implied threat.

You also "sense" such things as invisible supernatural egregores, (sans substantive evidence), so this puts the veracity of what you "sense" in doubt.
 

It's what is in your brain that is "seeing" the things you are seeing and accusing ones of.  

Coincidenctally, that's what you're trying to do in attempting to impose a skewed meaning on a TV series paraphrasing.  You do realize that the "werewolves" are a supersitious belief on par with xtian egregores, (unless you're a 'werewolf' who feels 'threatened')?

Good point.I think Falcon actually believes he's doing some kind of service to mankind by bashing Christians.Imagine if that zeal was directed towards some worthwhile endeavors?

[JediJohnnie]

1 Kings 8:22-24
Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven and said:
“Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.

In light of the fact of xtians doing much more than "bashing" mankind via the dark ages, the inquisitions and the crusades, helping others to become aware of these facts is far more 'enlightening' than closed-minded blind faith proselytizings.

I know "werewolves" are not real - you think people are stupid apparently.  You implied, through a "paraphrase," about shooting a Christian over an "imaginary werewolf."  2 bullets left, and shooting the Christian in both eyes.  I don't care how you try to explain yourself, you implied a threat towards a Christian, "hiding" behind a paraphrase.  That way, you can imply your threat to make a point, without using your own words. 

You have already shown your intolerance towards Christians, who I might add, are just as important as non-christians, in this forum.  You show a lack of respect to someone once you find out they are a Christian and challenge you on your responses.  You are getting more hateful and now you start including "paraphrases" that imply harm to a Christian.  You should think before you "quote" with what meanings are being implied with them.  You have over-stepped the boundary of keeping nice in a forum, especially implying "danger" to a Christian.  I haven't reported this as of yet, but it doesn't mean I won't turn in a private message to the owner of this forum, indicating how intolerant you are becoming, including "implying" threats to a Christian.

Careful - you may start receiving an "implied threat" through "paraphrased quotes" like I have, for the fact that you are a Christian.  The thing is, is what is the expected outcome of bashing a simple Bible verse thread that can be passed over because it doesn't cater to someone?  There are many people in this forum, Christian, non-christian, other believers within their religious sect.  Everyone is allowed to post whatever they like or enjoy, within the guidelines of course, yet Christians are getting stomped on by a certain couple of posters.  Why?  To shut them up?  To make them go away?  That's not going to happen.  Their views are as important as anyone elses' in this forum.  So perhaps a little "scare tactic" of implied "threats" through "paraphrased quotes" will do the trick?  What gumption and arrogance of someone to bully Christians by coming directly into a Bible verse thread, just because they hate the idea of a God existing and people sharing verses with each other.  Sounds like there is too much idle time happening instead of working on those worthwhile endeavors you mentioned.

So it would be like the persecution of religions in Soviet European and Asian countries and Mexico in the 1920s?
