So which are you, Asian or Indian? More thinking, less prattle.

Yes, Mr. Des, I live in the UK of Gujarati descent (descent is avatāra in Sanskrit, what a nice coincidence, yes! See below, Mr. Des). I know I was offending you. I am sorry. Please, take no heed to my posts if you find them irritating. I have no wish to do violence against you. Yes.

She seems to be saying the Chinamen are responsible for Islamic terror. Not sure why she would defame her own people in such a way?

She's a nice girl, though. I think she just needs Jesus. Well, that, and the firm hand of correction that a good husband can provide.

Yes, Mr. Machine. You are always nice to me and I am delighted when I am reading your posts. It is a happy moment to see your beautiful avatar with a nice animal and the wonderful rainbow. For me, you have been the model a tolerant and unprejudiced mind over here! Yes! And the use of Avatars (it is coming from the Sanskrit word ***pagan incantation removed***), it is deriving from the Indian subcontinent, yes! A true connection between your Christian faith and the Asian mindset regarding the manifestations of the same phenomenon with different images. Yes. And yes, I must agree with you. The persons doing the terrorism are the ones responsible but also the violence is being caused by their background, the clash of values, the inability to see that everybody is trying to see the truth but the truth is much more than what can be seen with a single pair of eyes. Yes. Thank you for you support, Mr. Faith Machine!

You're very welcome, my young friend. Now then, when are you going to, um, allow Jesus Christ to be the, uh, avatar of your karma? So to speak.

Jesus is knocking at your door. Won't you let Him in?

I am so pleased to tell you that my very good friend Mr Cameron (or Daud al-Khamrun, as I know him) has responded to my own frantic lobbying, and urged us to embrace British values. To highlight the difference, all the English people in my part of Bradford swig cider, eat chips all day, and appear not to have any legal jobs. Not such good values: it all looks a bit "unsaved" and "trash" to me. The Scots are about to become independent, the Northern Irish are just too difficult, and the Welsh tend not to get noticed too much, so we need to embrace British not English values. I'm not sure Americans appreciate the difference between British and English, being too fixated on our supposed tooth colour while not being exactly svelte of figure themselves (my Mid-Westerner brothers, yes you!). Which brings to mind Matthew 7:3, by the way.
I think we should pray for a new Crusade! Join us in the vanguard, brethren! Lots of unnecessarily curvy swords, hoarse shouting, eye rolling and finger wagging!

Now friend, it is well known that Americans are merely just big boned. How can we be ashamed of the good Lord's blessings to us?

How so? Would I think we would all agree that Pastor Zeke has excellent teeth.

I went there once and I assure you British values are not what you want. The food there is horrible. Horrible horrible horrible. I ordered a hamburger there and it took them hours to make it. Not because they waited so long before starting to make it. They actually cooked the burger for multiple hours. By the time they served it to me, the burger was turned into a stone. And to top it off the bun they put it on was dry and unbaked. I am not exaggerating here. This actually happened!

I am certain parents in Britain use hot tea to kill all the taste buds of their children.

Some examples.

Imagine celebrating your birthday with this:


This is called haggis, it contains sheep’s heart, liver and lungs encased in the animal’s stomach:



Yes, this tastes the same as it looks, like sh*t!

Brother Faith Machine,

I cannot recall placing an eel in my pie and that does sound like something one would have little problem remembering. However, I am open to the idea. I suspect one would want an eel that is pleasing in texture and size.

Because we value our customers, I've been very adaptable to suggestions regarding my pie. I want it to be appealing, moist, and unique while giving glory to the Lord at all times.

I think my willingness to be creative with what is inserted in my pie is one of the reasons why I've felt that special joy deep inside that comes with success. Glory to God!

Yes, Mr. Machine. I understand you are speaking out of kindness. How could I take the form, the avatar of your Jesus and not be committing blasphemy in your world. Yes. I could not. I am probably offending you and I am sorry but I must be truthful. My faith in my own religion is becoming weaker but I am not yet seeing that your truth would necessarily help be on my chosen path of non-violence. Yes. And perhaps no, eh?

Re: URGENT: Show your solidarity with Prime Minister David Cameron by embracing British Values!

It's real simple, friend. You just tell Jesus you're sorry for all the sin in your life, ask Him to forgive you, and invite Him to take control of your life, including your thoughts and feelings.

Then you get baptized and start reading the Bible every day in order to make sure it sticks.

With Jesus Safely in control of your thoughts, I'm sure you will stop worrying about all these questions you have.

I used to have sooooo many questions about the nature of life and the universe, but those things don't trouble me anymore. Now I just spend my days telling people how great Jesus is!

Yes, Mr. Machine. You are so helpful. I think I am on the verge of understanding a crucial difference between your truth and my many truths. The forgiveness. The sin or the karma, the violence I have committed. I am struggling to get rid of it, to be liberated of it. It is hard but I am doing it by non-violence, charity, vegetarianism, getting rid of possessions. You just get forgiveness. Then it is over, no remorse. Yes. I am afraid it will not be working for me that way. The violence, its consequences, they will not simply go away. They are unpredictable and they can escalate. Yes.

I understand now, this could be very different from your world. Sad, but beautiful. I can see it but perhaps not reach, eh? Yes, I cannot.

Re: URGENT: Show your solidarity with Prime Minister David Cameron by embracing British Values!

You don't have to reach it, Harsha, for Jesus Christ is reaching His hand towards you!

The problem with trying to atone for your sins with good works is that it will never be enough, for no amount of good works can ever be the equal of your vile, sinful nature!

Even if you could do enough good works to make up for all the sins you've committed, what about the sins you're going to commit tomorrow and the day after? Talk about a wheel of karma!

Nay, friend, there is only one way to salvation, and that is to graciously allow Jesus to do the heavy lifting for you.

He already died on a cross so your salvation could be bought and paid for. Why turn down a free gift?
