I get a huge hoard

A hoard?

A hoard?

Brother Rod, I think that's a euphemism for a sex act popular with perverts.


Don't ask me how I know.

When has Jesus ever lied? Please support your wild-assed allegations with Scripture.

Jesus should ***empty but very impolite threats of homicide removed by your friendly moderator*** people like you

Jesus should kill people like you

My, aren't you just turning out to be such a wonderful member of the human race.

Are you suggesting participation in this horror show?

Plenty of couples were expressing their affection as if they had seen the tabloid photos of a lip-locked Bennifer as a sign from the universe that being touchy, romantic and happy in public was OK again.

A pair pressed their faces together beneath a tree, turning this way and that way for selfies. A few feet away, two bodies were intertwined on the ground, their heads hidden by a flannel shirt ... Groups of friends stood mere inches from one another but remained locked in their circles, like cliques at a middle-school dance. One woman, a confident and experienced dater, whispered that she had forgotten how to strike up a conversation with a stranger ... “Since the restrictions have been erased, it’s like a faucet has been turned on. The hesitation is gone. Everyone’s kind of slightly lowered their standards or maybe opened up their idea of what they find attractive,” Delarosa added. She recently overheard a customer tell a friend, “I’d make out with him. Before the pandemic, probably not.”

A line snaked down West Fourth Street, ending at the entrance to the REDACTED, a gay bar. On Greenwich Avenue, crowds spilled out of REDACTED Pub, the mass of bodies sweaty in the still-hot air. At Greenwich REDACTED, where some breathing room remained, a tray covered with Jell-O shots appeared ... Between 11 p.m. and midnight, at REDACTED in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, at least two couples were making out feverishly, one pair on a bench and another near the taco truck. Nearby, a man and a woman inched from a spot near some abandoned beer cans toward the exit

That... doesn't sound that bad. If that's what hell is, I'll take that any day. No my friend, hell is much, much worse than that.

Are you referring to my audio link? (The secular media can't keep a story up for very long, ruined minds, no concentration span.) Perhaps on a superficial level making out with randoms has a certain appeal. Islamic "heaven" promotes something similar with magic wine and dubious-sounding boys.

Koran 76:13-21 [Pickthall] al-Ińsaan (Time) https://archive.org/details/englisht.../n671/mode/2up

Reclining therein upon couches, they will find there neither heat of a sun nor bitter cold. The shade thereof is close upon them and the clustered fruits thereof bow down. Goblets of silver are brought round for them, and beakers as of glass. Bright as glass but made of silver, which they themselves have measured to the measure of their deeds. There are they watered with a cup whereof the mixture is of Zanjabil, the water of a spring therein, named Salsabil. There, serve them youths of ever lasting youth, whom, when thou seest, thou wouldst take for scattered pearls. When thou seest, thou wilt see there bliss and high estate. Their raiment will be fine green silk and gold embroidery. Bracelets of silver will they wear. Their Lord will slake their thirst with a pure drink.


Koran 56:15-19 [Pickthall] Waaqi-‘Ah (The Event) https://archive.org/details/englisht.../n615/mode/2up

On lined couches, reclining therein face to face. There wait on them immortal youths with bowls and ewers and a cup from a pure spring wherefrom they get no aching of the head nor any madness


Koran 52:17-27 [Pickthall] Tuur (The Mount) https://archive.org/details/englisht.../n601/mode/2up

Lo! those who kept their duty dwell in gardens and delight, happy because of what their Lord hath given them, and because their Lord hath warded off from them the torment of hell-fire. Eat and drink in health as a reward for what ye used to do, reclining on ranged couches. And we wed them unto fair ones with wide, lovely eyes. And they who believe and whose seed follow them in faith, We cause their seed to join them there, and We deprive them of nought of their life's work. Every man is a pledge for that which he hath earned. And We provide them with fruit and meat such as they desire. There they pass from hand to hand a cup wherein is neither vanity nor cause of sin. And there go round, waiting on them menservants of their own, as they were hidden pearls. And some of them draw near unto others, questioning, Saying: Lo! of old, when we were with our families, we were ever anxious; but Allah hath been gracious unto us and hath preserved us from the torment of the breath of Fire.

This is a good example of where context is important so I've posted three references with the relevant bits highlighted and a link for each. Bit longwinded but easy enough to skim; more detail in the links. However you interpret that, and it's surprisingly consistent, there's not much in it that couldn't have been gotten in New York other than magic wine that doesn't send you insane. In both cases though from the descriptions of the "youths" and their function you'd think the lunacy was well ensconced from the outset.

I have never been to New York. It sounds dreadful. No doubt a hive of gamers and if public conduct involves spontaneous lechery it's unlikely I ever will.

Gamers aren't horrible people. You should consider doing some research.

Why would I do that? The "games" themselves are bad enough.

I see. That's interesting, but... have you tried actually doing some research? Instead of accepting everything the elders here spoonfeed you? I could go on for hours listing the inaccuracies of that article.

Re: Jesus Starting to Kill Gamers

I don't need to research "games" once I know they're satanic. Hell is very unpleasant even if the means of getting there seems like "fun" although murder and sodomy and self mutilation don't seem very pleasant by all accounts. Are you suggesting they need researching too? What about theft or adultery? Should I rob a bank just to make sure it's not a good idea? No. I already know it's not a good idea because it's covered in The Bible.

The Bible helps us to understand what's right and wrong. It may well be that "games" are harmless as a genre insofar as they're merely entertainment. Bridge is popular for instance and may be innocent enough but what if you got hooked on it and played for money and kept losing and sold your house and car and couldn't stop? Funds would have to be sourced somewhere. The "game" is still bridge but not as we know it. It's bridge in metastatic form.

By interacting with someone hooked in that way you know at once something's wrong. We see it here in responses to criticism of various "games" that clearly demonstrate mental instability, paranoia, anxiety, neurosis, almost a hypnotic trance like state bordering on the psychotic. Either that's the sort of person the game attracts——which I doubt because if there were that many unstable paranoid anxious neurotic hypno-psychotics walking around society would have collapsed centuries ago——or they've been rendered down to such a gibbering mess by the machine code they're trying to defend. Unsuccessfully. So in exactly the same way that I don't need to try an injection of heroin to research its characteristics, I don't need to install these wretched games to research how they ruin minds.

The fact that they do is quite sufficient and the Pastors are kind enough to inform us of the most dangerous categories out there. I know I'm not the only one grateful for their efforts in this respect.

Thank you for taking an interest.
