Miss Nettles. The fact that you are morbidly obese is further proof that you don’t care about attracting ANY type of man. That’s sad. Are you perhaps a lesbo? I’ve read on infowars that it’s easy to spot a lesbo if they are obese and have an inherent angry nature toward Christians. Please respond and check yourself into a gay conversion camp ASAP so you won’t burn in hell.

Miss Nettles, I will thank you to realize that this is no way for you to address our beloved Brother Lukes. You should be ashamed of yourself for speaking to one of our Godly menfolk in that manner! And as for tossing out a vague reference to a verse in the blessed , I should mention that even Satan knows what is in this glorious Book. In future postings, kindly refrain from twisting Holy Scripture to suit your perverted purposes!


Sincerely, Isabella W.
P.S. And might I ask that you change your avatar photo for us, immediately? I am revolted by the vast amount of flesh that you are showing there. We do have our standards here, you know.

This is excellent advice, dear Sister Maxine, and I do thank you for being so forthright with voicing your assessment of Miss Nettles. Like you, I do believe that she is a fully-fledged member of the lezbean society (if they can be preferred to as a "society".) Why else on Earth would Miss Nettles be 34 and unmarried? Plus, don't most lezbean types appear slovenly and unkempt, as Miss Nettles shows in her photo?

A blessed day to you, Dear Sister,
Sincerely, Isabella W.

Okay, cranky old man, I can't help but notice you advocate for daughters getting raped and that down syndrome is a lifestyle choice. Again, it is something people are BORN WITH! My mother, Jen-Natalya is with down sydrone, and I have a touch of it too. That, on top of my existing conditions, and the fact that I am attempted-rape survivor (they never actually went through with it, but I was asleep at the time, so I was was super lucky unlike most rape victims) means youve just seriously triggered by that.

This is of great interest indeed, Miss Nettles. Pray tell, may I ask if the employer which gave you a three-month "Employee of the Month" award is involved with waste management?

As for your most unfortunate ordeal with having been almost raped, I am sorry that you have experienced this. But, I'm sure you've heard the expression, "there are two sides to a coin", and I'm positive that you can figure that out. So, kindly try to understand the desperation that your near-rapist must have been feeling. Really, Miss Nettles, if you were asleep, why would anybody want you? Also, considering the photo that you're using as an avatar, one wonders if the other person was as blind as a bat.

Sincerely, Isabella W.
P.S. Our much-beloved "Cranky Old Man" is one of our finest members here at . For future reference, kindly address him with the utmost in respect, of which he is so deserving.

Think we could move on past the sufficiently harped IMO size issues, already? That point's been made. Trying to go somewhere else now, bit more education less confrontation mode. Thanks.

[Didymus Much]

As the 2 1/2 wrong guesses have been followed by hours of silence...

Exodus 34:14 "For thou shalt worship no other god: for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:"

Yup. Check other Bibles (NIV, Douay-Rheims, eg.). They say the same thing. It's not just a "KJV fluke" or misprint.

That is His name. The actual name of the deity worshipped by all those nice ladies in their little bonnets down the street every Sunday.

But they don't know that. No one's ever read that bit out in church.

Prove it. Provide just three examples of God-approved slaughter of women and children (including the unborn) from any of your favorite books. I'm not asking you to list all of them, just three. I'm really going easy on you, 'cause based on Didymus' little exam, your knowledge of what the Bible says, seems to be limited to... knowing the title, I guess.

I don't think most Christians have read the Bible fully, nor do I think it's an absolute requirement. I mean, lol, that would mean most of us would go to Hell and I don't think that was Jesus' intention.

Sweetie, if you haven't read the Bible, then what is the basis for your hypothesis regarding what was Jesus' intention?

So, Ms. Nettles, by your own admission, you have neglected to read one of the Gospels, all of the Epistles and all of the Prophetic writings.


Would you call yourself an historian of Western Civilization if you read about Alexander the Great and then skipped everything else until the Vietnam War?


The gap in your knowledge of God's Word means that you have no real understanding of His character or His expectations for His followers.


So, yes, reading the whole Bible IS a requirement of being a Christian. No doubt you have heard the saying that a cat can have kittens in the oven but that don't make them biscuits.


You, my dear, are a seriously deluded, fluffy and clumsy, kitten.

[Didymus Much]

Still looking forward to hearing Jen's thoughts on Exodus 34:14 (and possible explanations for why she'd not heard it before). I promise to bite anyone who won't play nice from here on out (maybe on the ankle or something).

[The Attention Seeker Jen (On Moderation)]

It looks like ancient hyperbole to me. But then, it could just be a happy mistake. I tend to say, "Oh my, jealous!" often, so looks like I wasn't too far off this entire time? Who knows!

Well what else can I do? Go to any church, nobody refers to God as Jealous in the literal context, even this church doesn't!




Also, it looks like I had my reputation further slashed for not answering someone's questions. So, I can see I'm not very popular here. Fine. But I'll be completely honest with you, I don't know any examples God saying its okay to kill women and children because I'm pretty sure that's mostly in the Old Testement and the God of old is bit too hard line for my tastes. I'm a Christian, ok, but I can see that there are element of the Bible that don't translate well today, besides, didn't Jesus say not to to break the law "Render unto Ceaser's, anyone?"
I'll say it very clear; no sane person calls God as Jealous literally (except for the actual Bible it looks like, and Didious Much) any more than any sane person will dash real kids to death because they heard God telling them to in their sleep.

The only bit of the Old Testament that Jesus says it's safe to ignore? The no-shrimp thing. Everything else still stands.

Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

... I'm a Christian, ok...

Why? It's not going to do you any good (according to Jesus).

Matthew 7:21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

It just lets these people claim one more adherent for Jesus when they're trying to get that abortion ban & free guns for everyone (paid for by closing all the schools natch) bill passed.

I assume the "rapist" ran away screaming as soon as he saw your face?

I hope you don't have daughters yourself, I'd feel so bad for them

Why? They are daughters. They could not be less relevant.

You refer to yourself as a Christian but you seem to have no idea what it actually means to be a Christian. Please allow me to enlighten you on this subject matter.

First of all you claim God to not be Jealous. Please note Exodus 20:5, Exodus 34:14, Deuteronomy 4:24 and 10 more Bible verses explicitly teach us God is indeed jealous.

As to killing children if God commands you to do that. Yes, Genesis 22:2 teaches us that this is exactly what we are supposed to do.

In Mark 16:16 you can see why denying God's truth will result in your eternal damnation to the fires of Hell. I pray you will do the right thing by studying your Bible, becoming an actual Christian, stop insulting real Christians and stop lying about God. Please believe me when I say that you will feel a lot better when you stop being evil and start being good instead.

Yours in Christ,

Pastor J.C. Manning, M.D., Ph.D.

Okay Dr. Manning (Who I seriously despite over having real credentials of any kind, at least I seriously hope you don't)


First, I never said that God wasn't jealous! It seems unlikely He would because jealousy is a human flaw, and you'd think our Creator would be bereft of such, but the issue here is God actually named JEALOUS? Anyway, as there is a verse, then I can't argue really, then God must be...jealous? Ok?

As to the whole killing children, okay, yes, everybody knows of the Massacre of the Innocents, so yes, that is in there, I won't dispute that. But then, you guys are against abortion, so it seems how and when to kill children is pretty flexible, no?


As for the rest you just said, I don't need any patronizing, thank you. Actually, I fat great!

I was asleep, so honestly have no clue. I think he was too drunk, tbh, and I was sleeping on my stomach.


Also daughters are very relevant. With us, the world would be overrun by men, and things would get pretty gay fast then wouldn't it?

[Didymus Much]

Uh, Herod ordered that, not God.


So it's one of the few times in the Bible that babies dying is a bad thing. As opposed to say that time in Egypt, which killed a lot more btw...you must remember that story?

Okay, I got mixed up. Right. And yeah, the plagues of Egypt.

Let us set aside the issue of calling God "Jealous" as a personal name. If you have read the verse provided for you, would you agree on principal that The Lord is indicating that He has a jealous nature?

I mention this because of something else that you have written.

[. . .] I don't know any examples God saying its okay to kill women and children because I'm pretty sure that's mostly in the Old Testement and the God of old is bit too hard line for my tastes.

Your statement here begs the question: Do you believe that the God of the Old Testament is a different Supreme Being than the God of the New Testament?

If you answer, "yes", than you are in violation of the First Commandment.

If you answer, "no", than you are casting your own moral judgment upon Almighty God, the King of the Universe, Creator of All Life.

You can see the inherent difficulty in your stance, can't you?
A further example of inconsistancy can be provided with this statement:

I can see that there are element of the Bible that don't translate well today. . .

The problem is not with the translation. The problem is with cultural perceptions that make certain parts of the Bible seem, "bad" or "hard line" as you say.

Once again, many of those claiming to follow the God described in Bible are faced with choosing to reject large portions of the Bible from which they learned about God in the first place.

Now, if we were dealing with an earthly authority and a document accredited to human authorship, the decision to pick and choose has some validity. The Founding Fathers of America wrote many inspirational things about freedom and the rights of man while keeping large numbers of human beings as property.

The Bible, however, is considered to be the revealed Word of God, Himself, and it has been set forth in a human language to inform the human race of God's existance, His nature, and His plan for His creation. There is no Biblically described means to amend its contents. Rather, there are significant penalties for adding or removing any portion from the scriptures that Christians claim were given to them by their God.

Revelation 22:18-19

I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues which are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his part from the tree of life and from the holy city, which are written in this book.

These are powerful words, and they are not the only verses that stress the same point. We see similar warnings in Deuteronomy and Proverbs. Those are in the Old Testament, of course.

But the words from Revelation are virtually the very last written words that The Lord Jesus chose to provide for His followers. They, and some of the other verses to which you object, were not whispered into someone's ear as they were sleeping.

To the sincere believer, they were communicated by The Holy Spirit to scribes who recorded and passed them on--sometimes at great personal risk--so that people in this day and age would know the One True God.

Unless that seems not completely sane to you.

Oh, and by the way, didn't Joseph receive a message from
God in his sleep? I'd seek out and post the verse for you, but I've already done most of the work here, and it is your turn to look it up, put it up or shut it up.
