I was reading through my daily dose of opinions in cyberspace today, when I tripped across a neat site that gives you the opportunity to make an accounting of the words you use in a document, web page or site. In the spirit of the Apostle Paul telling us to "examine ourselves" I thought I would make sure that I'm on target with my vocabulary on this blog...

What are YOU talking about???

So what is your point? Or rather, your motivation...
Your blessing is disingenuous at best - but the "tsk tsk"?
Wouldn't your hatred of everything and everyone who has anything to do with God be better spent in a gym, working out? Or perhaps you could take a pottery class - I hear they work wonders for pent up frustration...
I suppose I don't mind your comments, perhaps that's why I decided to post it here, though, next time, try to have a point...
Thanks.

I like that. 'I suppose I don't mind your comments..."
But I erased them anyway.
Maybe next time you should ask Ray Comfort if you like the comments first?
Hey, thanks for bringing my attention back to this page... I was more interested in taking the link to his blog off of my blog because of nude photos on his page... In my opinion, those types of photos would be inappropriate for the eyes of some people who visit this blog...
And to pre-empt your insult, I'm not trying to think for anyone, however, I will not knowingly provide a link to a site that promotes material like that to my visitors.
Some of them are teens because I work with teens, not to mention my own mom, and other friends... Now, the teens, my friends and family know that I talk to people like you, they even understand that sometimes our disagreements can get a bit personal - however, they don't need to be subjected to your filth simply because I am irresponsible with the material I provide for them to read...
Which is not to say that you are not free to publish whatever crud you find necessary on your own sites - which, from time to time, I'll look through when I need a laugh... And should you decide to go down the same degenerate road the mudskipper has decided to go down, rest assured your comments will be removed as well...
As I wrote, I don't mind your comments, therefore, I'm willing to post them. BUT if the content of the site/blog you are linked to 'goes south' so to speak, I will remove you... That stuff is just plain unnecessary...
You all claim to be smarter than us - I'm sure you can find other ways to insult us without using images that are inappropriate to a general audience... When you do that, you only prove our point, you don't make us look bad, you make yourselves seem unreasonable...
I believe that the things I've seen on your Raytractor site is hateful at the very least, and, to date, I haven't come across anything overtly offensive as I did with mudskipper's blog... Keep it clean and you'll be able to publish all the silliness you'd like my visitors to read when they click on your username...
Start posting (for lack of a more accurate word) pornographic material - and you lose the link...
Simple as that... I "entertain" (for get the "don't mind" illiteration) your comments because I sincerely hope and pray that you will come to your senses and see that the path you are on is one that will end in destruction unless you humble yourself before God, repent of your sins, and trust in Christ for your salvation...
Please be sensitive to the fact that, unlike with Ray's Blog, I host material that teenagers are going to read because that is part of the audience I am writing to. And your comments will be welcomed with a smile... Ignore that request, and watch your comments disappear one by one...
I've got that kind of time, and not all that many comments to begin with...
May God reveal Himself to you soon... and have a great night...

Well, if you say so. I just know what it looks like, that's all.
Hey, I know, benjamin--Why not just ban ALL links? Especially when the atheists do it? You know--just like Ray does!
Always remember:
What Would Jesus And Ray Do?
This is a pointless line of discussion - I'm not going to answer your insults with more insults, you'll just succeed in dragging us both into a conversation where nothing is really being said, but there's a whole lotta' lip flappin' (or finger poundin') goin' on...
Regardless of what you think it "looks like" it is what it is. In fact, your posts are more, should I say, censor-worthy, if I were going to just remove people's posts because I didn't like what was being said...
The words in his post were pointless, yes, but the link associated with his name pointed toward pictures that are just plain (I can't THINK of a better word for it) inappropriate for anyone who is not on the Internet for a base thrill.
I do not feel the need to ban ALL links because I believe there may a chance that someone who adds their 2 cents around here, might have something of true substance to offer, rather than just garbage.
So... What are you going to offer? Insults or something worth reading and responding to?
Well, benjamin, I'd love to have a discussion with you about your religion. But aren't you worried that one of your fragile teenagers might read one of my wicked heathen remarks and wander away from their compound?
Why, he might even start thinking for himself about things, instead of getting his beliefs from all your Chick tracts and WOTM pamphlets.
I'll bet you'd delete me in a hot minute then, wouldn't you?
I mean--What would be worse in your eyes: Posting a link to some skin site or posting a link to talk.origins that would show one of your lambs that it's their preacher who's been lying to them about evolution after all?
I'm not worried at all about what "one of [my] fragile teenagers" (your words, not mine) might read in your "wicked heathen remarks" (again, your words - though, this time I agree) and then decide to do...
However, there is a matter of personal responsibility that I am going to take for the things that ANYONE might come across when they come to my site. I choose not to have some sort of disclaimer stating that "you'd better quote me correctly if you're going to use my words somewhere else - otherwise I'm going to call you a liar." Instead, I choose to moderate the comments, and yes, the commentators who would leave the comments on my blog. It's a personal choice, and that's something I'd have thought you'd appreciate about me... The ability to make a choice for myself...
You can feel free to capitalize Jesus or God... or not... My reasons are different than Ray's - partly because I am confident that the aspersions you are casting, aren't in reference to the God of the Bible anyway, they are based upon the god you think you know through your own upbringing, your incomplete study of the Bible, and what you see on TV through televangelists and cults such as the Mormon or Catholic church just to name two...
Most of the kids I work with, could not be classified as Christian, according to Biblical standards... And almost all of them are victims of the public school system the same way I was... You know the one that teaches us that we had a tail while we were being formed in our mother's womb? The same school system that taught that the universe was only 4 billion years old back when I was in high school, but is now teaching that it is over 15 billion years old...
Now when it comes to the reasons that I might delete you - I don't think you've been reading what I've been posting...
Here's the thing okay... And you can feel free to call me a liar or whatever it is that you're no doubt going to do... BUT, I think you agree with me on this, you just don't want to say it / disagree with your fellow atheist in any way that someone, like myself, could document... I believe that you are much more interested in winning people over to your way of thinking, than you are in offending anyone.
You cannot and will not convince me that you are not interesting in converting people as long as you rant against Christianity, and Ray Comfort - I simply cannot believe it...
BTW, I'm not at all interested in talking about religion - you can have that discussion with the Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons or Muslims on their sites... However, I am always open to talking about the Word of God, and the sacrifice that was made by His Son so that even you - even I might be saved from eternity in hell... I'm always up for that...
