Re: miketpoto
Mike I loved the picture! Thought it was funny as hell. I'm not a religious person and I am totally comfortable with my life and I also know a good laugh when I see one.

Re: miketpoto
hey, i think you'll find mike has no choice in the matter. his core belief? how can you compare sexuality to religion? sexuality is what you ARE, religion is what you believe in. people can CHANGE their faith. they can't change their sexuality.Originally posted by cowardly djLeave a comment:

Jesus Fucking Christ, enough with the fucking bible humor, it's not FUNNY!
so I, in good spirits and in fun joking way that I am and have been for years on this board, started this thread and put some actual jokes that are pertaining to religion for him and everyone to read. That being the first post in this thread. Then miketpoto responded with the pic that is in discussion here.
If one were to weigh the situation it weighs out like this:
1. I started the thread creation... intelligent design or happen chance
I suggest a read of the thread for a summary of the whole situation.
2. Since that post I have been bashed repeatedly by many for that thread and I seem to be defending myself over and over in the last few days. I have been accused (by bart) of thinking I am better than mike by saying I hope someone comes into his life and shows him the right way and I will pray for him. This after the tasteless pic in this thread.
3. The clossest thing that can be construed as insulting that I have posted is me saying bart makes thoughtless posts. I have not insulted mike in any way and for that fact anyone.
Mike's photo in this thread was tasteless and insulting. That is a fact in itself even if those who think it is funny do not agree. It is a direct insult to my core belief system. Now notice that I am not accusing mike of doing it intentionally as he has repeatedly said it was not intentional and I do not know mike so I take his word as it is until proven otherwise.
I have not insulted anyones core beliefs here. In fact if I remember reading right mike said he was a "gay homosexual". That is expressly forbidden in the Bible but I did not attack that as it is his core belief. If I wanted to talk to him about that I would have pm'd him because something that personal does not deserve public discussion IMO.
I did not say or do anything to deserve that photo and it is wrong period. No amount of saying this is why or that is why will justify that to anyone who has a shread of decency in them.
I do not think less of mike for posting that. As I said in this thread after his post that I feel sad for him. I was accused of being closed minded by bart, when in fact it is not me whose mind is closed here.
I have taken this with a grain of salt but it is creating much more than I intended when I started this thread. It was to be a joking thread and it has turned into an insuilting thread. Nonsense IMO.
I apologize mike and bart and to anyone else for anything that I have said that may have insulted anyones core beliefs. I would appreciate some curteousy extended to me as I have to this and the other threads and others posts.
I do not mind talking about anything and in fact that is the very reason I started the creation thread, but there is a clear line drawn between talking and arguing for the sake of arguing.

Re: miketpoto
"obviously" was a bit strong. i was merely guessing that could be the case. nasty or jovial. i haven't had time to keep my fingers on the pulse of GYY lately. but if cowardly starts a thread titled "miketpoto", it would be reasonable for one to suspect a previous t?te-?-t?teOriginally posted by miketpoto

Re: miketpoto
precisely. great pic, poto, couldn't stop laughing. funny as, ahem, sin. but i wouldn't have posted it for cowardlydj w/out a forewarned link or cut.Originally posted by picklemonkey
it's easy for non-religious people to throw jesus or god into cursing or profanity because we're not believers. it doesn't mean the same thing, no profundity. most non-religious people i know grew up christian, have the same knowledge base for christianity as church-goers, just don't believe. so it's easy to joke about it the same as with anything else.
what we tend to forget is that religious people often really believe in christ and god in their hearts. it's belief based on faith, and having it poked at will sting more deeply. or come across as a callous, personal hit below the belt to have that image marred. maybe the case here, maybe not. my 2 cents nonetheless...
i don't know. glad the thread's still going...Leave a comment:
