Krazy Kat,
Could you clarify what you mean by "club"?
Thanks,

I'm sorry, Lou, I'm kind of joking. Still thinking of my favorite Groucho Marx line, "I won't be a member of any club that will have me."
Your philosophy sounds Very much like fundamental Christianty to me, Lou, still. But that's neither here nor there.
I just hope you'll be careful in your message re: meds - if I were to stop my stabilizer, I would be in serious danger of suicide again, and I don't think that is uncommon. We know these illnesses are organic now, and need medical support the same way a diabetic or heart patient does.
Take care.

Ron ,
You quoted , "If you deny me before men, I will deny you before my Father." Many times people have asked me if I "believe in Jesus". My answer is always, "Which one?" The Jesus of the Spainish Inquesition? The Jesus of Nazi Germany? The Jesus of the slave owners in colonial America? The Jesus that says that all Jews are going to Hell because they are Jewish and have not believed on Him? The Jesus that legislated segregation in this country? The jesus that men are killing others in Ireland about? The Jesus that the churches say that if you don't join my church you are from the devil? The jesus that says that he came invisibly in 1914? The jesus that says that there are special books that there denomination only has? The jesus that says that the US and Britian are the lost tribes of Isreal and thearfor they are the true jews that all of the promises go to? The jesus that says that only white people are "saved" because Noah was white? The jesus that says that all catholics are from the devil because they have a pope? The jesus that says that all protostants are from the devil because they do not have a pope?
When He said that sentance that you quoted, He meant that the people who live their lives in denial of God, that just because they belonged to a church ,or what, that their membership was not enough for entrance into the Kingdom of God. They could still deny God's existance by living a life of darkness which is the denial. The denial is the life of the person if it is in darkness, and the affirmation of Him is a life of light. A life that shines in the darkness. For He said, "You are the light of the world".

both ways. One either believes Jesus is the son of God, or one doesn't. One either follows the teachings of the New Testament, or one doesn't.
Actually, the only criteria for getting into Heaven is John 3:16. That's very clear.
If a Jew, Catholic, Born Againer, Alien follows that scripture, then they're in.
Remember, the point of Christ's appearance here on earth, his subsequent death and resurrection, was to offer redemption for humans, and to re-establish God's law (so, for example, the Old Testament teachings would take second place to the New Testament).
I can get all sorts of info about this from the Bible, if you'd like. I find it fascinating still, even though I am no longer a Christian.
But what you explain Lou, is directly from the New Testament, 'Revelations' to be exact, and therefore falls under the "philosophy" of Christiandom.

Kid _A,
I am dismayed at your post that asks others to look at a link that is from an anti-Semitic web site. I have tried to find some merit in it, but I can not do so. Now I believe in freedom of speech, but I also do not believe that someone can yell,"fire" in a crowded theater when there is no fire.
Could you tell the reason why you asked others to look at the link of the anti-Semitic politition?
Further, it is a common understanding on these boards that when a someone posts a link that they endorse what is being perported in that link unless a disclaimer is given. Now I do not believe that you endorse what Mr. Crow writes in his web site. But I need for you to make a new post with your disclaimer or else it can be deduced that you support Mr. Crow's hatred toward the Jewish people, which, of course, means you have hatred toward me.
Your cooperation in responding to my request will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Lou

Krazy Kat,
I have read your post that you say that Kid_A is "so funny' in regards to his posting of a link to an anti-Semitic web site.
Could you explain why you think that it is "so funny"? It is not funny to me that the link portrys jews as "crucifiers of christ". That phrase has been used for 2000 years to foster hatred toward the jews.

Krazy Kat,
Could you clarify how you interpret John 3:16 in regards to your stating that is "The only criteria for getting into heaven"?
Could you clarify what "believe " means to you in that passage? "believe" could have diffeent meanings and I would like to know what your meaning would be so that I can understand your posts better.
Thanks,
Lou

When I first saw this, I thought it was another David Icke--just a lunatic conspiracy theorist. And maybe Icke is an anti-Semite, too; I can't read that crap closely.
I am sure that KidA doesn't condone this guy's tactics and share his beliefs. He probably just thought it was funny, in a lunatic-fringe way.
But if you actually read what he's saying, it does all boil down to the same old "Blame the Jews" propaganda.
The irony of it all is that because we are a religion/group that values education, and because we were among the first peoples to make businesses (because we could; we taught ourselves how to add and subtract!), we are blamed for all the world's economic and political woes. But we were also among the first to extend credit and put things "on account" for folks who couldn't pay. In the ghettos, the Jewish merchant extended credit to the poorest of the poor, often with no expectations of being paid. Yet those who took advantage of him called him a thief, accusing him of raising his prices or selling poor merchandise.
We are forever someone's scapegoat. It will never change. And though we are not all Zionists, and we do not all condone the acts of some Israelis, we are still one big devil in the eyes of the racist.
I hope folks will give more thought about the links they include. And I'm sorry your feelings were hurt, Lou.

Dear Lou,
KK may not answer you, because she seems to be the brunt of things when someone posts something so obviously ridiculous and so out-of-line that it's funny, that when she says so, she's the one to blame. For another instance of this, see my comments on swearing on PBA, and her cyber-laughing at them, and then someone taking offense at her laughing. In fact, Lou, I think you found my post offensive, and said so. Which is your right. But it is also KK's right to laugh whenever she gosh-darn-well pleases!
Kid_A's post WAS funny, and I get to say that, too. And you don't have to agree that Kid's meaning was absolutely tongue-in-cheek. But it was.
Everybody's dander is so UP sometimes...
Wendy

Beardy:
I understand how you might feel what you do. But Kid's meaning was obviously not to offend, he's one of the kindest and most non-threatening posters on here... Hope you understand what I'm trying to say to Lou above. I know what you're saying about scapegoating, etc., but I think every cultural or cultural-religious group feels that to some extent (except maybe white anglo protestants). As an italian-american I have felt ostracized and ethnicized.
I don't think Kid would ever wish to offend, is all.
very sincerely,

thanks for the support wendy. yeah, i'm not sure why i get into so much trouble. i guess i didn't read through that link well enough, but i'll stand behind kid_a if for some reason i have to choose sides, though that's obviously silly. he absolutely would not have posted that to offend.
i come from a political family and my husband has been knee deep in politics. i glanced at the site and saw it from a political-humor point of view. the absurdity was all i saw.
you kind of hurt my feelings, lou, for not asking me what my comment meant. why so quick to assume i found the "anti-semitism" funny? i didn't even see it.
Christ was Jewish so of course the Jews did not kill him. Jew are the chosen people... yadda, yadda.
i don't know why i'm even defending myself. i am not a racist nor an anti-semite. i find cultural and racial differences to be exhilarating and fascinating. a gentrified world would be horrible.
i'm tired of your posts now, lou. i have tried to reach out to you and this is the slap on the wrist i get.
and my statement above re: John 3:16 is as simple as it gets. take it literally. believe = "to have no doubt" in my opinion.
and so ends my part in the search for the crowns that sit on the gate that surround the white horse that ate the last pie that fell from the sky before the soldiers came marching in.
:(
- kk
p.s. chistophre's post was Extremely offensive to me but i knew better than to express that. it's unnecessary.

I know he didn't mean to offend. I'm just wondering if he actually read the parts where it becomes nasty instead of just goofy. Sometimes we skim something without really catching the whole meaning of it, which is what I did when I first saw the site. And I thought it was funny, too, at first.
(And I thought your swearing post was funny, too, knowing you meant no ill will for Phil.)
I wish we could just leave religion out of this place, but it is often someone's reason for living, so we can't quite do that. But if we must be sensitive when we write (I got a PBC for calling someone's rude post rude!), then we must be sensitive when we link, right?
So all's I'm saying is: Give pizza chants.
