Cure for Meph and LL
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I believe I have a cure for both our brothers, Mephi2k and LL: a wife and children for both. Now, if any of our wonderful sisters out there would volunteer, I would be more than happy to perform the ceremonies. I believe after a few years of wedded bliss and the experience of raising a child, they will be utterly convinced of the Open View and that they have been wrong!!
On another tact, let no one be decieved that the inability to answer an argument makes that argument TRUE. What is generally demonstrated on forums such as these is that someone with sufficient educational background and the time and ability, tend to "win" the arguments. But please remember, the issue is never who "wins", nor even who has made the most cogent argument, but what is TRUE.

Mephi Finally Takes The Hint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Room,
A corporate thank you for all the hospitality, but I definitely think it's time to pack up for a while. Even an old dimwit like me can start to get a hint (Thanks, Revival, Writerdad, Joe... ) Obviously my presence here has become a source of more heat than light. Thus, to eliminate the stress (to you guys and myself), it's probably best I leave for an extended period. 'Sides, Doc is busy himself and I'd really like to have talked more with him. If I brought some laughs or interesting thoughts into your life from something said here, praise God. If I've brought nothing but sorrow to your respective existences, praise God ANYWAY, but forgive me, as well. Hopefully, the absence of my overwhelminingly negative presence will make things a lot better for everyone concerned. God bless you all! See you...later?
Always One With You In Christ,
Sir Mephistopheles

Revival: Thank you for putting it very well...at times I ave the tendency to try to win, instead join with my brothers and sisters in seeking the truth. To Mephi...actually, my wife mostly shakes her head at me...she calls me "clueless" and then laughs. Such is the way life is...

Mephi Finally Takes The Hint
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey Meph,
Here's another hint.
Don't leave.
You too LL, as much as you get on my nerves at times (I really don't take anything personally on any boards).
Brandon
Hoping you guys stick around.

Revival, I find your comments regarding the spouses and children of Mephi and LL to be in poor taste. You may have felt insulted by Mephi's critique of the open view, but I do not think this was his intention. I cannot say the same for your "cure" for Meph and LL.
Mephi, I understand why the unfortunate comments of a few participants in this discussion would discourage you from further participation, but I hope that you stick it out. I for one value your contribution.
Peace, GDG

Gee, it sure does seem like some people can dish it out but cannot take it. My comments were in no means meant as a personal observation re: either Meph's or LL's personal life - I know nothing about them factually. Nor was it meant in any way as an "insult" - quite frankly, I am at a loss as to see how it could be viewed as insulting. It was simply meant as a tongue in cheek observation that life experiences have a way of changing one's perspective.
All I can say is its always interesting when the shoe is on the other foot, isn't it?
As for them leaving, I hope neither does, but for heaven's sake learn to laugh at yourselves as much as you do at others.

Mephi!
My wife and kids are all here in the room screaming, "Don't go Mephi!"
What should I tell them?

Poll Question: Should Mephi2k Leave?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. I will even put up a poll on the question. Who's gonna answer anyway?
Greg is incredibly tolerant of opposing views (as he has posted). This is an open forum. We are all bound to get a little hot under the collar because of something that someone else said. But we really 'taint gonna learn to love with Christ's love if we are intolerant. However, upon further reflection, we do need some epistomological humility. So lets be tolerant and not arrogant.
Onward Christian Soldiers!

Revival man, dude, don't let Mephi's or Lion's schtick get you down. its not your fault. your piece was cute ribbing. Mephi's gotten much worse. hell, he's given much worse. he's tough. Same thing for Mr lion. (Lion did a nasty slam dunk on this brother back when i first logged on... but its cool. I'm tough. He's forgiven. No worse for the wear.)
chain yanking Meph, listen up, i'm calling your bluff this time. bro, don't go laying this "giving more heat than light" Battle Ship (BS). gimme a break. after all the mega-kuddos i laid on your behind the other night -- right before you dissed me with your conversion fake out. no way. maybe you're too busy for a spell, like the doc, but don't do this guilt trip sheist.
besides, you know we all love both you guys. sure you're stupid compared to the likes of me and all, but if it weren't for you, this discussion room would be way too bright.
wh's i gonna b ?

RE: Poll Question: Should Mephi2k Leave?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Brandon: it has nothing to do with being tolerant or untolerant. No one said Mephi had to leave, it is his choice. I was one who was offended by his piece. I told him. Its over. But if I had written something that someone had found offenseive in any way, I would want them to tell me, even if I hadn't written it in that way. My comments were not unfortunate (sorry, GDG, I do not get what you meant, am I not suppose to be offended for the sake of Christian "unity" or something?). The point is Christians are called to speak the truth in love and that is what I try to do. Regardless, people have the right to express such an opinion and, it should be noted, much of the Bible is negative. John 17:3 Harold
