Iran is developing nuclear bomb

I meant that Chicken had looked for a mis-directing piece of cut'n'paste.

In which case I humbly beg your pardon for being a bit of a thicky!

[Dundeegeorge]

Sorry Xerxes, I've obviously not made it clear

Dundeegeorge, my friend, I don't know you and you don't know me, but I can assure you those were all my own words.

Anyone can be a cut 'n' paste expert. It's what you do in life that matters.

Oops, I've been caught out, I'd better find a nice cut'n'paste piece of misdirection to post.

Notice how the complete fraud that calls himself Chico (he's neither a Christian nor an IT professional) avoids answering Xerxes legitmate issues

[Dundeegeorge]

I think we can interpret this as

I think most mainstream Christians, myself included, accept that Paul never actually met Jesus "in the flesh" as it were. I understand on the fringes that it is often a subject of hot debate as Christianity bashers like to say that because of that the modern church is based on the teachings of Paul rather than those of Christ. I think the best approach is not to get too uptight about that sort of thing. It is the message and the actions that we draw from that that are the important things after all.

He must be a fake. He didn't even know that Paul never met Jesus in his lifetime. I'm an 'unbeliever' and even I know that! When I pointed out that he only met him in a vision 37 years after he died and the bible confirms this, he resorted to saying that you dont have meet someone in the flesh to 'meet' him.

Have I missed something here? Sounds like a good debate!

. I cannot sit here and watch this fake post his lies and hatred while masquerading under the banner of a peace loving religion.

Objective analysis by Chico: If there was ever a need for a pre-emptive strike, this would be it.

I think this statement alone puts the lie to any claims this gentleman has to be a Christian. I cannot sit here and watch this fake post his lies and hatred while masquerading under the banner of a peace loving religion. I can assure you, no matter what twisting and perverting of the Lord's word these right wing so-called fundamentalists come up with, the message of Christ was never, ever "pre-emptively kill your supposed enemy just in case"

The only way to break the cycle is with love. Show your enemies that your way is better than theirs. Be prepared to die for that belief. This is the true message of the Gospels.

Chico's right on this though... the mad Mullahs hate us and are constantly trying to get the advantage. The Iranian people might be peaceful and good but they are governed by a gaggle of mad fundamentalists whom it would be good to stop somehow.

Rebecca, You also must therefore be a mad fundamentalist and I claim my £5.
