    Default Is it sin to reply to threads posted by Gnostic Christian Bishop?

    I'm beginning to think yes.
    “… the greatest detractor from high performance is fear: fear that you are not prepared, fear that you are in over your head, fear that you are not worthy, and ultimately, fear of failure. If you can eliminate that fear—not through arrogance or just wishing difficulties away, but through hard work and preparation—you will put yourself in an incredibly powerful position to take on the challenges you face" - Pete Carroll.

    Quality thread title.
    If you also agree that an animals suffering should be avoided rather than encouraged, consider what steps you can take.

    If it is, then I'm so going to hell
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    He seems to be seeking attention and replying to him just enables him. Isn't there a feature you can set to ignore posts from a specified user? If everyone put him on their ignore list, he'll eventually just stop posting and go away.

    Not sure about a sin, but it is a waste of time for sure.
    Never look down on someone unless you are helping them up

    For him or you? If it makes you a better debater or provides an opportunity to gain knowledge that you didn't otherwise have then it's not a waste of time for you.

    Jeff, and DMP. According to some of the opinions offered by many of our members here. There IS NO SUCH THING AS A SIN...which is why we find ourselves driven to answer the Imposter We call Gnostic. It's always easy to OUT the phonies every time, rather than allowing them to feel how their power is unchallenged by IGNORING them.
    I love to make Liberals Cry, and Whine.
    So, this is for them.

    If paying attention to a demented message board participant puts a smile on his face, why not oblige? There are worse things in the world than putting a smile on someone's face.

    I'm inclined to tell Gnostic Bishop to have an enjoyable day and leave it at that.
