mukina2:
i am tall and no way on earth am i going to date a short guy God forbid

i think of my kids na .

short people have short fuses

Men, I can't be bothered about my kids - technology trends indicate that in the next few years scientists will be able to make children grow taller if need be. Besides, the whole height thing is from western culture (not african) where height was a measure of health and wealth because the average person was malnurished and short, while a few of the nobility were tall. Also taller people tended to be stronger. In the world of today where physical strength gets you nowhere (it's all about the brains baby, ) I suggest you forget about your children, and instead look for people who are more likely to be your intellectual equal.

but of course it's your choice.

mukina2:
we love our children
we want them to tall and not be laughed at for being short

Muki, but most women are short, and tall guys go after them?

Come on now, please don't tell me you choose your boyfriends because you want to know how your kids wd look like. That, that doesn't sound like you at all.

mukina2:
change that to united

Banderas please i want to go eat in peace

Shuu! What have I to do with your "eating in peace"?

chuckdee4:
LOL, OH MY GOODNESS

THE THOUGHT OF THAT HAS ME LAUGHING LIKE MAD

Chukdee - that makes it sound like you are excited at the thought of Jack touching his toes, and whispering "manchester united",

Jackal:

Banderas,
Bleep u and what u believe.
I don't do MEN like u and VIEIRA.
Fucking Sodomites!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But jack, they said you were thoroughly buggered. What happened? Did they make you "pick the soap"?

iamtheman:
Whatever. I am very flexible and adapt easily. I don't want heart attack. Wenger is on his way out. I am sure u all know that??

In other words, you never really were a gunner.

Oh, and Fergie is on his way out as well.

Jackal:

Devils n Gooners can never drink in the same bar,let alone be in the same cult.
Razorr is high on shroomz, Vieira is high on Razorr's pussy.

Jack, hope y'all used vaseline, ?

Story. Ex gunner oshi wo. You're a glory hunter, period. And I stil ask, if you like goals, then how does Man U come into the picture?

Iamtheman - you want goals and you're supporting Man U? Am I missing something here?

laudate:
Ah, now I get it. . . . .Tanna is American, has lived in the States all her life, where polygamy is illegal, and has probably never had any encounters with polygamy itself, up close and personal. No wonder she has such an idealistic view of polygamy!!

Maybe the closest she has been to polygamy, has been through the films she watched on the big screen or through gossip she heard from other ladies in the rest room. Anyway, am just guessing. Ehm. . .Tanna, have you ever been in love with a married man or dated one, perhaps? Just curious.

Hmm, Mormons exist in the US, and they are not treated as criminals. Polygamy is permitted in the US, but it simply isn't Legal. In other words, you can have more than one wife (or husband), but you can't have more than one legal sp

Oh I am totally at home with your views. You can have any view you like. Just don't make accusations based on them and all will be fine. It's your accusations and mass generalisations that I sincerely can't stand.

Marry my 6 year old neighbour? Now, now be reasonable, why would I do that? Pick your head off? That's not going to happen - I believe everyone has a right to live their own lives.

But in your post you have practically accused me of

1) Wanting to marry my 6 year old neighbour
2) Wanting to pick your head off

I wonder how you came to this point, and I can't see how what I have said today has proven this. You on the other hand have apparently met every muslim on the planet

yes! ignore him! Grin The usual muslim response

so obviously you know this usual muslim response. I said you generalised. I have proven it.


And by the way, child marriage is a cultural issue, not a religious one.

Okay PTH, what makes their postings a lie, and yours the truth? Let's hear it.

Actually, PTH, I consider myself a christian, and I find you extremely opinionated and judgemental about anything concerning religion. Your "posts" are tastelessly intolerant of any other views apart from yours. This has nothing to do with your beleifs, but with the way you seem to think that you can put your face in other people's lifestyles and make categorical statements.


Muki, I'm sorry, the guy always gets my goat. He has no finesse whatsoever, and constantly makes baseless accusations.

Yo Razor, I hear say dem bin ban you. Welcome back o.

Hello - My suggestion, stay away from criticising another person's religion.

PTH:
Lol, the usual muslim excuse again. Excuse their chronic need to revert to violence, death and intolerance while hiding under the garb of victimhood "o they taunted us first".

Get over it, no one is taunting you. We are merely talking about things recorded IN YOUR OWN QURAN AND HADITH! Maybe you should be closely scrutinising those books instead of seeking the heads of those who expose your errors.

Are christians and buddhits, to mention a few, not humans too? Dont they have a right to "react" when "taunted" since they also have emotions or is that right only for muslims? What is the islamic way to "react" to taunts" To kill your neighbour?
Why didnt christians come on this boards seeking to kill everyone after films such as the davinci code were released?

Rather than make your input in the ongoing debate, you choose to hide your head in denial by going the "reaction" route. So typical of the deluded mohamedan muslim.

What gives you the right to judge another man's religion? You amaze me.

I agree, Layman has to go, or at least sit down for a while. His antics against England were far from convincing last night. Defence - in my opinion, we have an amazing first team of defenders (Sagna-Kolo-Gallas-Clichy).
Central midfield is PACKED, while the wings isn't quite as strong as it should be (Eboue isn't making an impression yet, and Rosicky is better down the centre)

Attack - We have a lot of players there, maybe nobody exceptional (debatable) but it certainly IS packed.

Okay, just to make sure I understand what you're saying, Rooney has scored 76 goals in 223 matches (34%), while Obafemi has scored 68 games in 175 (39%) matches. How come Rooney's better?

So who is a player you can put money on? Tevez? Rooney??

This has less to do with the pain of a breakup as with the fact that women, for some reason, cry easier. Even men who want to cry don't because crying is simply NOT macho.

Umm, that is just IT, which really has little to do with engineering.

Nice point pilgrim, this brings us back to the argument I've been making, why do we say other religions are not right, not Godly, when they as well have so many good points? There are LOADS of people who have claimed to have seen Jesus Christ - a lot of catholic saints claim to have done just that, or at least seen the virgin. So one one hand we laud Paul for his experience with the risen christ, and on the other hand we bash catholics for their experiences?

I'm not trying to demean christianity in anyway - I was brought up in this faith, and I follow it. I however NEED to know what the truth is, as different from some other christian on this site who has professed a desire to be brainwashed for christ.

The bible has been added to and taken out of over the ages - the current new testament is not the same one that Jesus read in the synagogue, and some of the stories in the bible we currently have exist in other religions that are much older.

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1419763#msg1419763 date=1187795115]Yes, you did (at least to me) - thank you.

I certainly don't have ALL the answers. However, that they were compiled after a series of consultations for the purpose cannot be denied.

Yet, the committee that compiled the volume which we now have as the Bible with 66 books had a standard for doing so. Foremost among the criteria was that the documents themselves bear testimony to the historical foundation of the Christian faith known in the days of the prophets in the OT and the apostles in the NT.[/quote]Pilgrim, this is excellent. The key word here is "committee". And therein lies my concern. There have been soo many committees interpreting the bible over th years, and a lot of the christianity we currently practice is from committees. I just find it scary that my entire premise of living my life the way i do is down to a compilation from committees,

Pilgrim - Ephesians 2 - written by Paul (who never did meet Jesus, and technically isn't one of the apostles). To be honest, in recent times I have begun to question a lot of Paul's messages. The majority are excellent, but there are some that appear to me to be excerpts of jewish traditions that existed at that time.



Loco - who told you the romans didn't let anyone read the bible? And regarding roman catholics setting people ablaze, that also happened in protestant christianity in the US. Misinterpretation of the message is not restricted to only one part of christianity. And as far as they were concerned, they weren't trying to stop salvation, they thought they were ensuring that people didn't spread a message they thought was sinful (reminds me of some christian university in nigeria forcing students to take HIV tests because they want to ensure high moral standards).

[quote author=pilgrim.1 link=topic=74061.msg1419646#msg1419646 date=1187794214]Lol. . . Banderas dear. . . I didn't read that monks initially "wrote" the Bible - unless you and I have a way of describing Paul and the other apostles as "monks".[/quote]Oookay, you're right. When i say wrote, I didn't mean the original compositions, far from it. But Paul and the other apostles wrote letters, and books. How were they then compiled into a bible?

When I say monks, I was talking about the bible in it's present day form, the preservation, and the reproduction by hand of the many scrolls that existed.

I guess the word copy should be used instead of wrote (though surely you must agree that when you copy a manuscript with a pen or quill, and paper or parchment, you are indeed "writing".

I hope I made myself clear?

One more thing loco: The Roman/greek panthology had 12 gods, why are only two of them represented?


How about the writing of the bible by monks and scholars, did God have a hand in it?

I put it to you that God DID have a hand in the catholic church. I also put it to you that without the catholic church, christianity will right now be a small cult, possibly located somewhere around the jerusalem area.

Loco, but that is all through christianity. Culture gets preached as religion (See Pastor Adeboye and the trousers argument).

Easter and Christmas used to be pagan festivals, and have now been absorbed into christianity.

Ebos - the head of the church is Jesus, not the pope.

Pilgrim, maybe I should say Anglicans translated the current bible. But it was catholic Edit: monks scholars that initially wrote it. All them dead sea scrolls were hidden in caves when monasteries were sacked.

I see some oddity here dear Pilgrim. So the church started in Acts 2. Then later on, Paul became a christian. This same Paul wrote most of what modern day christians consider to be the christian faith. What has stopped other people from receiving similar revelations that could (and maybe should) be added to the bible?

[quote author=I-man link=topic=74061.msg1419387#msg1419387 date=1187791693]That is the Anglican Church,one vversion of Protestantism- but Protestantism has different historical origins.At least we know their origins but they fail to tell us our own historical origins.[/quote]I said that because MOST (if not all) of the current protestant movements sprang from the anglican church. You also have those who were formed from Lutheran movements, and those have become distinctly different from what we know as christianity (eg Mormons, latter day saints, etc). 'Twas Anglicans that "wrote" this bible that we currently read (King James et all)

Pilgrim - do you realise that the catholic church claim that Paul (or Peter, not sure) was the first Pope. Also remember Paul didn't take a wife,
