Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

[Yamikotai]

Hi, I'm Yami; I must admit I'm not a Landover Baptist. I'm here to hopefully learn about you folks and your views. I'm not here to flame, or to disagree with your ideals, only to ask a couple questions and be on my way. I've been reading some topics on the forum here and there in order to achieve this goal, and to avoid any conflict or upset.

Now, a bit about me... I live in the UK, in England. I'm 18, and go to a Catholic school, but I am by no means Catholic (nothing like going to a Catholic school to put you off religion); it's just the best school in the area, educationally-speaking.

So yeah, I have a question or two.

First is about the notable patriotism I have noticed among the senior members here, saying things like that the American way is God's way. As I previously said, I'm British, and so am interested in hearing the justification and reasoning for this view - again, I'm not flaming, or saying you're wrong, just curious.

I did have another question, but it's gone straight out my head. Hopefully I'll remember soon.

Thanks for reading, and I eagerly await a reply or replies.

I must admit I'm not a Landover Baptist.

Strike one.

I live in the UK, in England.

Strike two.

I am by no means Catholic.

Good.

Do you agree that the USA is the strongest country on Earth?

Being educated by catholics will do that to you. Beware of the long blackouts...you may have been abused.


Tell us more about yourself. What is your favorite Bible verse? What is your wife's name and how many sons do you have? How are your teeth?

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

Ah, I remember my second question. Sorry for double-posting, but it seems to me that new members don't have the ability to edit their posts.

Anyway, this time it's about the anti-scientific stance that many (or all?) of you guys support, saying that nothing good can come from science, and so on, usually citing genetic engineering as one of the worst offenders. Now, obviously you're all using computers and the internet to communicate with one another (and possibly phones), and electricity to power those, and so on. Again, I'm interested in the views you all have behind this.

We love science. We just demand that those who practice it use evidence. ALL of the evidence, including the Bible.

Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit. Hi, I'm Yami;

British, eh? Would that be the Yamakotai family of Chorton-cum-Hardy and later of Chipping Sodbury who came over with William the Conqueror in 1066, or would it be some slant illegal immigrant off a banana boat?

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

Hi, I'm Yami; I must admit I'm not a Landover Baptist. I'm here to hopefully learn about you folks and your views.

Don't learn about us. Learn about Jesus, in the Holy Bible! Do you know God loves you so much that He is even willing to not eternally torture you if you accept His Son Jesus Christ as your Personal Lord and Savior? Praise His Sweet Name!

I'm not here to flame, or to disagree with your ideals, only to ask a couple questions and be on my way.

Questions are a bad thing. They stand in a direct opposite to the building and strengthening of faith:

1 Timothy 1:3-4:
As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine,
Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

Now, a bit about me... I live in the UK, in England. I'm 18, and go to a Catholic school, but I am by no means Catholic (nothing like going to a Catholic school to put you off religion); it's just the best school in the area, educationally-speaking.

Reading your post up to this point makes me impatient. You aren't a Baptist, you aren't a catholic, but what are you?

On second thoughts, it doesn't matter very much; unless you become a True Christian™ Baptist, you go to Hell no matter what you are.

As I previously said, I'm British, and so am interested in hearing the justification and reasoning for this view - again, I'm not flaming, or saying you're wrong, just curious.

America is the greatest True Christian™ nation on the planet, which is why God has blessed America with world supremacy. Unlike godless Britain, America is founded upon Christian principles.

I did have another question, but it's gone straight out my head. Hopefully I'll remember soon.

I think God removed another blasphemous question from your head, so that you could fill your head instead with Bible Verses. Praise Jesus!

Aww, too bad.
Science that is not founded upon fear of God (Proverbs 9:10) is in direct opposition to God (1 Timothy 6:3-5). That's why secular science is a construct of Satan. Read more about that here.

Your name doesn't sound very British. Let me warn you in advance that posting hentai on these forums is strictly forbidden (and of course, this includes Pokemon imagery).

I have some questions for you as well. How is your wife? Did she provide you with many sons?

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

We love science. We just demand that those who practice it use evidence. ALL of the evidence, including the Bible.

Scientists use all the evidence, just not the bible or any other ficticious books.

The main problem with the bible is certainly of that we can't find any other source of information (or any evidence) to support with what the bible claims. Maybe that's the reason why any scientist doesn't use the bible as a scientifical tool, because it's simply a book written by some jews. And we can't support our entire scientifical knowledge on that.

And every time when you claim to have proof that support the bible, it's basically always made-up proof, bunch of lies or even poor logic.

And by the way, the scientific method doesn't require any source of material like the bible, that's why science gives the true version of reality than your idealistic 'view' of the world.

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

Do you agree that the USA is the strongest country on Earth?

It's a pretty big question, with a lot of factors.
Militaristically, you're one of the largest, however militaries like China are similar in size and just as well-trained and equipped, if not better.
Economically, I would say yes, though I'm not an expert. The US dollar is used as the international standard for comparing currencies and so on
Socially? That's more of a subjective factor, since what one person could say is a socially good thing, another can say is a bad thing. In my view, any country that has people who have to rely on the churches to not starve to death (when it's not their fault of course; lazy arses who refuse to get a job deserve what they get) is socially

Tell us more about yourself. What is your favorite Bible verse? What is your wife's name and how many sons do you have? How are your teeth?

I've never actually thought too much about what my particular favourite verse is. I know Luke the best, being taught it in Theology (the Bible we use is the New Revised Standard Edition - dunno what your views are on that translation?), so if I can think of a favourite it'll probably be in there.

Being 18, I'm not married, and don't plan to be married until I'm out of university and into a good job. This is so I can support my future kids properly, get them to a good school and so on, rather than try to raise them with me on a smaller salary, and with six or seven years less experience in life.

My teeth visually aren't great (annoying big gap between my two front teeth), as is the British stereotype, however they're in good condition and are brushed twice a day, flossed occasionally. One interesting thing to note is that Brits actually have less dental issues on average than Americans, despite the cosmetic disadvantage. This is mostly because culturally, attractiveness is less dependent here on our teeth, than it is over there, and our dentists are much cheaper, meaning more widespread dental access to the poorer sections of society than in the US.

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

Scientists use all the evidence, just not the bible or any other ficticious books.

And that is why science is in direct opposition to God. Again I quote Proverbs 9:10, which teaches that wisdom can come only from God (by reading the Bible), and 1 Timothy 6:3-5, which teaches that other doctrines are unacceptable.

The main problem with the bible is certainly of that we can't find any other source of information (or any evidence) to support with what the bible claims.

Why is that a problem? God's Word weighs in stronger than any conceivable form or amount of evidence.

Maybe that's the reason why any scientist doesn't use the bible as a scientifical tool, because it's simply a book written by some jews. And we can't support our entire scientifical knowledge on that.

Of course you could. Your scientific knowledge would simply be different by then. For example, it would include Noah's Flood, Intelligent Falling and a geocentric cosmology.

And by the way, the scientific method doesn't require any source of material like the bible, that's why science gives the true version of reality than your idealistic 'view' of the world.

As I said before, science is a lie, simple as that. Read more about it here.

I (rather obviously) avoided mentioning that, since, as you've probably figured out, it's something you'll be disagreeing with. If you really want to know, I'm on the theist side of agnostic, with a culturally Christian background. If I were ever to find religion, it would probably be Christianity.

I have some questions for you as well. How is your wife? Did she provide you with many sons?

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

Are you saying the Bible is a work of fiction? You should be ashamed of yourself.

The main problem with the bible is certainly of that we can't find any other source of information (or any evidence) to support with what the bible claims.

The evidence is the Bible. It tells you of God, His Holiness, and His powers. Anything that has "evidence" other than the Bible is merely a fictional work of non-Christian men.

Maybe that's the reason why any scientist doesn't use the bible as a scientifical tool, because it's simply a book written by some jews. And we can't support our entire scientifical knowledge on that.

JOOS. You're saying the Bible was written by JOOS. Only the first half, if I remember my Sunday School Teachings right. The rest was written by Christians.

And every time when you claim to have proof that support the bible, it's basically always made-up proof, bunch of lies or even poor logic.

God is all the proof we need to say that the Bible is right. Anything else is just unneeded. "Proof" unbacked by either God or the Bible is heresy and fiction, nothing else.

And by the way, the scientific method doesn't require any source of material like the bible, that's why science gives the true version of reality than your idealistic 'view' of the world.

Idealistic? We have the true view of the world from reading the Bible and believing in God, nothing else is needed. Any other view is blasphemy and should be dealt with by using an open page of the Bible in post haste.

Oh, and for those wondering about my name, Yamikotai isn't my real name, just my internet handle. I make a habit of not sharing my real name on random internet forums, even those I have visited regularly for years.

Re: Hi - not a Landover Baptist, but a curious Brit.

By the way, Ezekiel Bathfire, is that your real name? Because if so, that's a really cool name

I don't understand like you. Why do you want to go to Hell? I mean, the Bible is very clear about Salvation™, yet still do people fail to follow the simple instructions to get into Heaven. Are you atheists all slightly retarded or something? Or masochistic?

The why did you choose a Japanese name? Don't you realize people get nervous when you make an account that looks like it can start posting pornographic perversities at any given moment?

lol, it seems to be a bit of a stretch to me to say that anything Japanese-sounding is automatically going to be posting tentacle-rape porn, a bit like saying all Russians drink vodka or that all Australians enjoy the beach. I made it up a couple years ago because I thought it sounded cool, to discover that several other people had the name already, and that it was actually something Japanese.

Anyways, I feel I've learned as much as I'm going to. Thanks for answering my curiosity; I doubt I'll be back here again, but if I ever have a religion-bringing epiphany and find God, you'll be the first folks to know.
