I heartily approve of beating Mormons.

You were around before the U.S. elected a white president?

Rube, you may have just set a new record for your, "I'm going to completely change my statement but pretend I'm saying the same thing" standard... :ok

In any event, I doubt the prejudice against electing a complete moron as President will be lifted any time soon, so I'm afraid you'll be out of the running...

rubato is now posting proof to show that he can't comprehend what he reads.

I'll save it here so he can't change it again...

He's been doing that for years...

In fact he frequently posts proof that he can't comprehend what he writes...

I think it's probably fair to ask at this point whether or not English is rube's first language...

Or perhaps he's suffering from some form of dyslexia that he's too proud to admit to...

To which Joe added: You were around before the U.S. elected a white president?

To which rubato added

Well I don't know where that last "white male" quote comes from (or what the point was) but it's wrong to criticize the first part. ETA: Oh I see what he was doing - duh on me. As Scooter states below, he was replacing professed Christian with the words "white male" to explain his point. Better if he hadn't put it in as a quote but I was dull not to spot that.

rubato wrote: I used to hear that about white people.

Obviously his statement means (and can only mean) that at one time he used to hear that nobody but a white person could ever get elected president. I remember people saying that in my lifetime too.

So Joe - your funny was kind of not funny really. And I see no reason for rubato to delete or deny what he wrote. It was accurate.

For Christianity, by identifying truth with faith, must teach-and, properly understood, does teach-that any interference with the truth is immoral. A Christian with faith has nothing to fear from the facts

What rubato wrote made perfect sense. He even tried to demonstrate how what he said was a completely logical follow up to the previous post by substituting what he said into the original comments. So he substituted "white male" for "white people", who gives a fuck, the essential logic of what he was saying still remains. The two of you are so intent on finding fault with everything he says that you made yourselves look like a pair of illiterate buffoons.

And spare me the lectures about "enabling" him. You two brought this one on yourselves.

It gets very tiresome watching the never-ending pig pile on rubato, guys.

rubato can be an asshole, as have we all been at one time or another (okay, maybe not kristina).

But YOU GUYS are the ones who constantly beat this dead fucking horse, over the stupidest fucking things.

Honestly, can't you get a new game? :roll:

I don't care enough about rubato to piss on him if he were on fire. I'm embarrassed for you, because on some occasions (note, I did not say always, or even most of the time) when you are intent on getting him you completely abandon any sense of rationality and put yourself in the wrong.

It would have been a much smarter move for you not to have come back to gloat. You shouldn't for one second believe that anyone's interventions in this thread were about defending you.

In your, rather limited, opinion. I only care if I tell the truth here. I don't care who is offended by it. And your approval is of no value to me.

They are driven by childish negative emotions and it makes them jackasses. They, and apparently you too, need someone to hate. It is a sign of smallness of character.

You are free to choose who you will be. It is only up to you.
