That is because I am somebody you all have known. Or thought you knew, anyway.
Trad, is that you?
Eternal life is an easy promise to make and a hard one to fulfill.
This thread was never about *me* until you took it upon yourself to join TOL under your new ID and personally attack me.
Is the Colorado incident amusing to you? It is not to me. THAT is what this topic is about. I am outraged innocent individuals just wanting to view a movie lost their lives thanks to one idiot. You should be outraged too.
I am telling you again to leave me alone. Take your personal vendetta elsewhere.
Lol, I'm dozens of posts in, and you only make up a few of them. If I came here to attack anyone, there are bigger fish to fry, to be honest.
You can take that however you want. Remember that there is an ignore feature on here.
If you don't like for a person to call out hypocrisy in light of an act thereof, then you just shouldn't do it.
Know what I mean, jelly bean
Afterall, he is the person you were conversing with right before you left the board to create this new identity.
Obviously, you are thinking of another person. Never talked to Quicy much, and if ASC is a Seattle conservative, we never bumped heads on most subjects.
"Sensitivity won't help anyone with respect to Christianity, will it? If, I mean, out of the 12 who died, 11 deserved Hell, my being sensitive won't change that, will it?"
No one disputing the fact that they were sinners in need of a savior. We are saying innocent people went to a movie and they are coming out in body bags (Pr 6:17).

That time has passed. Purgatory is a false teaching.
Not gonna lie. When I heard that it happened at the opening viewing of the Dark Knight, I did have hearty laugh and tell my grandmother: "That's hilarious!" After which I attempted (and probably failed) to explain to her why it was humorous.
In retrospect...
If you change your mind and would like to remove your comments, please advise. I will remove my quote of your quote.
My first most notable tragedy was in 1955 when the Jack Graham wanted to collect insurance money on his mom, his mom was on the airliner that was blown up over Wyoming flying from Denver; then there was Columbine, enough said about that; then the Twin Towers, that was against the whole country; then the shootings at the Fort Hood in Texas; now this death, hell and destruction at the Aurora movie theater. It's hard to know or tell what is going on behind the eyes of others that are seen and much less who try to obscure the eyes from others, will I go to the theater anymore, no. If I don't go then people like the gunman win, not really I want to be safe. There was an old radio program from years ago called the Shadow, and one of the opening lines during the introduction of the program was, "Who knows what strikes terror in the hearts of men," right, who knows?
Sadly, lives have been lost, families left with sorrow and grief and for some a long mournful recovery, to who I am sympathectic; the injured too will have maybe a long road to recovery, for these I am hopeful; the theater industry will bounce back, and law enforcement will be more vigilant; bewildered that this 24 year young man who brought all this on has ruined his life, he will know a lot of scorn and hatred from the families of the dead and the injured, the 24 year young man's life is forever changed, really in some way life has changed for all of us.
Let we who remain and survive, honor the dead kindly and affectionately as is appropriate, pray for the injured that they have a full recovery; and bystanders whether there or watching by the news media, let us be watchful for ourselves and others, and for 24 year old young man may God have mercy on his soul.
Will such tragedy occur again, probably, and we'll brought back to a remember when from yesteryear the tragic deeds of the past, let each of I learn what we can from this, and continue our lives with a watchful but not a fearful eye.
.....O LORD my God, in You I put my trust. Psalm 7:1
.....To You, O LORD, I lift up my soul. Psalm 25:1
Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around. ~ Leo Buscaglia

In Israel they insist on living their lives. They won't let the terrorists take that from them. They keep going to the pizza parlors and other public outings. I think that's the right reaction. The last things these victims would have wanted is for people to stop living their lives.

That's what we must do (Heb 4:16).

@ All: I have gotten at least one private message and various comments here in the threads criticizing what I've said throughout this thread. It occurs to me that they may have been insensitive to a number of people on the forum. But then, when have I ever cared about sensitivity?
I can't really apologize for what I've said: at the moment that I said what I said, I really did derive tremendous amusement at the facts in question. I'm sorry, but I'm simply not you guys. That's just the way that my mind operates.
It's easier for me to relate to facts than to people, especially those that I don't know. And the facts amused me.
After I learned more about the shooter, it occurred to me that the facts may not be funny after all, and so I won't be commenting on them any more. I could claim that I won't comment on them any more so that I could avoid offending you guys. But I wouldn't have commented on them anyways.
For those of you who claim that you've lost respect for me because of the different way that I related to the tragedy (and I don't deny that it's tragic):
Chances are, you never respected me because of my interpersonal/social/emotional skills anyway. If you did, then so much worse for you guys.

Are you one of these God-hates-fags types? God loves fags by the way (Jn 3:16).
Yeah, I heard about that. What kind of a madman shoots babies and small children?
An atheist that says there is no god, and there is no right and wrong, aside from your own point of view. I am saddened by it, just not suprised at all.

I don't "support" either one.

I don't see where it's funny. This guys seems to be deliberately copying the Joker. That doesn't make him funny, or ironic, or inventive at all. It just makes him a plagiarist, and a murderous one at that. To make a public spectacle of enjoying the "joke" is the height of insensitivity, especially when there's a better than average chance that someone at TOL will be directly impacted by these events. So I'd really suggest you take your glee elsewhere, because it's more than a little obscene.
