Doing the right thing.

[the meek]

I have posted quite a few times before, my motivation was to use my right to reply to some of the provocative statements made in your articles and the comments made by True Christians tm in the forums. I found myself snorting with surprised laughter at some of the outrageous statements and also humbled when it was pointed out that I was a guest here and my opinions where not asked for.
I have been coy in regard to introducing my self in the past.so in an attempt to make a fresh start I will be more open. I am a 49 year old English male. I have had an interest in things spiritual since and early age. I went to Sunday school from the age of 5 till I was around 11. The stories and parables I learned then still stay with me now. From 11 to 14 I attended a christian youth group, and went to evangelical rallies and did bible study.
I am also non nationalistic and believe that the judgement of God at the tower of Babel in a challenge to reconcile the nations of earth to strive for unity and peace. So I have a question to ask. Through out Europe there is a very popular sport called Football in the UK, futeball, futball etc in other countries. It is a game where the ball is passed between the players using the feet. However I understand that there is a game in America where the ball is carried by the players and this game is also called football. Why is this so when in is clearly some form of Rugby (but with pads and helmets)?

I believe that this is caused by the habit among white people of kicking those they do not like. They kick a lot and they try to kick me almost every week.

We are the most powerful nation in the world, so we have a God-given right to call our football football and your football soccer. Even though our football is not played with feet. We use it mostly to give brain injuries to men who play it.

I hope this was helpful, dear.

During my travels I have learned to appreciate that nations tend to view History from their own national perspective. Additionally nations often broadcast messages that affirm the superiority of their country over others. I know from experience that the UK is guilty of this. For example the Cockney (London) ryming slang for an American (yank) is `Septic` from the shortening of Septic Tank, a place where the house hold effluent is stored. The name implies that American are full of it. It saddens me as Gods loves us and we are just arrogantly towards each other.
Peace the meek.

The godless English have a lot of gall to compare Americans to the turds they store for the winter. We flush our turds away for cleanliness and have no reason to save them for later.

Why do you think the English have rotten teeth? The obvious answer is that they eat and drink the effluent from Septic Tanks.

Friend, it is great you did what you have done. But there was not a single word about how you service Jesus. Not a single mention of dropping to your knees and praying for Him to enter you and fil you with His graces. No mention of how you help support the Christian Church. Just all about you, you, you.
Imagine for a moment, if God only thought about Himself and ignored mankind.

My exact thoughts brother. I think he is maybe too full of effluent to be able to respond properly

That was pretty funny re: your brain injuries joke and I dig your spunkiness; you say what you feel and that takes nerve... I dig that.
