Haha, well we got significantly off-topic, so there may yet be something to say about Katie Holmes or Scientology. Actually, I have no idea what Scientology is, so could someone fill me in?

Heya,

There was a good thread on Scientology a while back. Try a search, Daniel, it's pretty darn interesting. It's sad and helarious at the same time, that it is.

Yikes...I had no idea the can of worms that this thread would open.

hapa_angel · 06-14-2005, 12:28 AM

Ugh, ugh, UGH.

Can't I leave this place alone and talk to Art for ONE hour without all of you guys at each other's throats?!?!

Honestly. I'm sick of this.

I thought some lessons had been learned these past few days, lessons about watching what you say, whether they be in jest or in anger.

Apparently that was not the case.

I will be cleaning up your messes and reopening this in a bit. I do NOT want to see any more ganging up on anyone, ANYONE, in this thread. Preferably not anymore in CPF, for that matter.

For the last time now, watch your mouths, guys. As has been pointed out earlier in this thread (but may soon be deleted in my pruning), individual CGRers are NOT God. However... we are representatives of Christ's love to each other. Are our posts showing evidence of His love? Whether in jest or in correction, edification or even occasionally out of ignorance, ask yourselves before you post, am I being a proper representative of Christ? (Yes, this goes for me, too. Don't think I'm exempt.)

*puts her Deletestick away and reopens the thread, keeping her eye on it...*

Scientology is a cult that teaches you falsities in exchange for stealing your money. Bad news.

Asking people to heed the Word of God is rather like Christ, if I do say so myself.

imitating =/= being

And I thought we were done with the Theological debates in this thread.

*sideways glance at Nate*

Feel free to ~~abuse your mod powers~~ pull out the "deletestick" again, if you like.

It means imitating Christ is certainly what we should do... and as I said had been pointed out in the now-gone previous posts, individual people are obviously not God. In short, that holds up with what I already said in my uberlong post.

Nah. Just... talk about stuff now. So long as it's not any more crazy debates or jumping all over another member.

Exactly. And I was pointing out that asking people to hold to the Word of God is certainly imitating Christ. It seemed like there was quite a bit of that going on in this thread before your pruning, to which mrs. claw responded by going ape-**** in a fit of conviction or something.

I don't think ganging up on another member and shoving Bible verses down their throat is very Christ-like, Nate. Neither does reacting in a way that does not communicate love when someone does something offensive strike me as something I'd want my fellow Christians doing.

Don't forget the Golden Rule in all of this.

Have you read the Gospels? Jesus was not a nice guy. He did more than His fair share of Bible-thumping.

Jesus did his out of the purset intentions always, with no malice in his heart. He did Bible-thumping, but it was never to one-up the pharisees, it was only because he loved them with a never-ending love. No human person is capable of that. I'm sorry.

and i'll shut up now, and go count paint lumps again.

Nate... PMs or AIM if you want to continue this. This is going overboard again.

Forget reopening dead threads. I've learned a lesson here, too.
