So, if I understand Kirkstaller's latest comedic efforts, it's like this:



Some guy grabs a hold of the Ark, as one of the oxen stumbles. Presumably wanting the thing not to fall and be damaged.



This gets God mad. Kirkstaller does not explain why sych a selfless act could reasonably annoy anyone, let alone a God, who of course knows why the guy is selflessly trying to avoid damage to this here Ark.



Despite having always know this guy would choose to do that, God loses his temper. Odd, that. Especially for a God.



And he is so annoyed that he smites the poor bugger dead. Kirkstaller does not explain on what possible basis a just God would lose his temper over someone trying to be helpful, let alone end their life.



So presumably, having killed the guy, God then immediately has to forgive him, and off to Heaven he goes? Or was this minor act sufficient to send the guy to the flames of eternal hell?



And finally, as a catchall safeguard, even if (or maybe because) he can't explain any of this, kirkstaller falls back on the weird claim that God can't murder people. He can't? Thought he was supposed to be omnipotent?



Come on kirkstaller, let us have the benefit of your reasoning here. Pack in the one liners, and Cantona-esque rejoinders like "it's not murder because sharks are not murderers", and at leats try to make a coherent explanation of your crackers point that if god murders you, it isn't murder. Or are you saying God is an orca, and can't help it?

It's a shame, really, that debates on here deteriorate so rapidly into petty insults and general nastiness as some of the topics are pretty interesting.



I think it's interesting, for instance, that gay people apparently want their public commitment to each other labelled as marriage. What is wrong with what they have now? And what is so special about the label of 'marriage' that they want it applied to their relationship?

It's about equality. It's really not too difficult to understand. Why should same sex unions be regarded as any different to heterosexual marriages?

What is so special about the label of 'marriage' that anyone would want it applied to their relationship.

Answer that and you have answered your own question.

Oh aye, what we need is to stick to PROPER insults as the OP intended, such as "if you choose to have gay sex, let alone want to have a same sex marriage, you are the ultimate sinner and will burn in hell"? As for mere petty insults? - who needs 'em, when we've got major league insults, eh?

You mean like "your family died long and painful deaths, and that was good" - that sort of proper insult?

Been away for the w/e and just flicked though the last 20 pages or so. Sickened by the foul language and personal abuse written by the predictible elements.

It is pretty disgraceful, condoning murder, rape and abuse, isn't it?

And yet apparently you're not sickened by the vile homophobia displayed by the OP. Whist I have avoided insults towards the OP in this thread I certainly understand why others have done so given the stuff that he has posted.

IMO it's to the credit of the 'usual suspects' that they respond in a way that betrays just how much they are sickened by the delusional and hate-filled ramblings of an arrogant headed bigot.

You know, they were all perfectly polite until it was pointed out to them that they are doomed to burn in hell because a mythical forbear ate some fruit. After that I'd suggest the odd curse might be viewed as fcking irrelevant. I mean, how much worse than eternal hellfire can it get?

Not to mention the poster who was told that his wife is suffering with cancer for the same reason. Disgusting.
