Tagwyn Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 DD: You have been out in the sun too long? Keep your opinions regarding faith to yourself. As much as I try to "turn the other cheek," I cannot stomach this continuous flow of bull****. I know where I can go ... but I will not be going there.

Desert Dave Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 DD: You have been out in the sun too long? A lot Being that I live on the desert and all, But, no, tag, no skin cancer as of yet, Thank the Lucky Stars! :cool: Keep your opinions regarding faith to yourself. I do believe it was Fubarno His very ownself who volunteered His opinion on this matter. No, sorry, I won't keep my opinions To myself, Since no-one else does, And, They shouldn't! Yippee! For democracy, little "d!" I merely put in my zwei pfennigs, That OK with you? Besides which, I did NOT champion, Evangelize, Proselytize, Or otherwise Force feed Some certain religious "faith." Only ventured that, Faith, In and of itself, Is vital, Else you'll end up dessicate, Like I said. ANYBODY here can say, nearly, What EVER they please, Ask Kuni or rambo or who-ever else Rip-rap snap happily! does so! Nice to have "freedom of speech," (... I have also tolerated, and even enjoyed "healthy debate" EVEN WHEN it is YOUR unique "bulls**t I am a'listening to ) Though, NOW, In America, That's of some real concern. IMHO, of course. Any concern to you? Ah, I get it! You've been reading PT Barnum again! Who observed: "In order to draw a crowd all you gotta do is... start a fist fight!" You ever been... in the center ring? Or, Someplace else where Life is Hanging by... a trembling thread? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fubarno Posted March 7, 2006 Author Share Posted March 7, 2006 Sorry all. I shouldn't be so harsh as yes, many GREAT minds have had their faith, including Darwin, and hopefully you live in a country where you can follow your faith without persecution. Even my paltry intelect is ocasionally moved by something greater than what can be touched by the senses or theorized by scientific method. What I can't stomach is the evangalizing for Jesus, Mohamad or any other religion that has come down the pipe. It becomes particularly odd when someone wants to pray to Jesus that SC2 will be all that and create some ridiculous homily to support their faith. Sheesh! Lay off the communion wine. Change your tag to WWJP (what would jesus play). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 I have already paid my money but want/need a demo anyway Well, Night, Have no fear, You ARE indeed going to have one, and From what I have thus far Here & there heard, It is going to be... VERY interesting, VERY unique, different from And better than what we got For SC-1. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 As originally posted by Fubarno, who KNOWS some things: ... and hopefully you live in a country where you can follow your faith without persecution... I live in America, I volunteered to serve When it was requested of me, and Surely intend to defend My country, unto death Should it be necessary, And justified, Again. Yet... of late, things are gettin' A mite... "dicey" RE: what is religion and what is State. I am concerned that these remain Strictly separated, and so I feel... I SHOULD be... ever alert. Even my paltry intelect... From what I have read, I SERIOUSLY Doubt this self-less comment. ... is ocasionally moved by something greater than what can be touched by the senses or theorized by scientific method. This is surely a truth, and you've said it Better than I only recently did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desert Dave Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 (In any case, thanks for an interesting post!) Thanks SB, Appreciate the comment, though, Here of late I've been re-considering My earliest child desire, now, And later, become stirrings Of un-earthly choir, And, Finally hide-away in... Monastery. [... don't everybody cheer at once! It's hard to hear... anything else!] As one of my favorite writers, Thomas Merton, Who met with Suzuki In his own latter years, And TRIED, As I would myself imagine is best Possible synthesis, To meld the two sorts Of disparate faiths. I do believe it's what will happen Down the hitch-hike road. A common understanding That might, just might Allow us all to live together More joy-fully, more considerately. Maybe... maybe not, but, I (personally) gotta have faith, Non-denominational, yes, Of course.

Desert Dave Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Shoot, That's 3 (... now 4) consecutive posts. Too many, sorry. I'll bow out now For a while, And let all and any others Have their say. :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon_j_rambo Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 WWJP? Easy, He'd lived by Faith & would declare the Truth to every creature. I don't think JC would use his time to play SC2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Madmatt Posted March 7, 2006 Share Posted March 7, 2006 Jesus Christ?!? I go away for two days and you guys manage to drag yet another topic down the toilet with inane rambling. The demo will be released when it is ready, it is planned to be ready PRIOR to the full game shipping. At that time, you will all get your dirty little "faithless" or "faithful" hands on it. Discussions about the relative merits of one mode of belief or the other can be carried out SOMEWHERE ELSE (i.e. not on our forums).
