I am not a man overburdened with religiosity, but I respect the beliefs of others so long as they don't interfere with my basic human rights or constitutional rights. Let me ask you this, in 2000 years what proof that a ignorant, lazy, layabout, named Jason ever existed? Will your followers write books about your exploits? If they are twice as smart as you, they would make less sense than the babble in the Bible.
Lorne Thomas What is curious is the 'progressives' ongoing attack on religious belief. Why does a guy attack something he believes does NOT exist.? Evidence shows religious folks are happier than atheist, so WHY does a person go out of their way to take that belief away ?
Jason ON now I don't want to go in to history too much, but I want to be sure that I understate that you are saying that Egypt, Israel, Rome, and Cesar didn't exist even though Egypt, Rome, and Israel exist today and have been proven to have existed in antiquity beyond a shadow of doubt?
But if you want to have a religious faith based on Sherlock Holmes, that's fine with me. I like Sherlock Holmes, It's just people who lack the cognitive ability to even match a tenth of this fictitious intellectual hero that I can't abide by.
Jason ON why don't you want to start the First Elemental Church of Tarzan then? The scriptures were communicated in the Strand magazine and the blood spots on the rug.
So, I asked Andrew Tamm, who filled my Stream with a hundred (sarcasm there) animated gifs and cat pictures to remove me from whatever Circle he has me in where he posts the animated gifs and cat pictures. It was either that or unfollow him and I didn't see any reason to unfollow him. Me asking https://plus.google.com/112885755521259735422/posts/78dwnvvgh4p <==edited to add the correct link Then he plusses me onto Public posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/EuuR1tnU3vJ https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/8r6Grcm2Jpj https://plus.google.com/u/0/112885755521259735422/posts/74PgSu6iL2s Then one of his friends (or Circlers) starts plussing me into posts of animated cat gifs : https://plus.google.com/u/0/107120198886093172821/posts/gRW9JhWLs5T Don't get me wrong, I'm all about sarcasm and messing with people, but this seems sort of childish to me. Am I the only one who thinks so? So far I have only blocked
I'm shutting down Google+ for the night and quite possibly for the weekend. Why? This stupid #gifwars thing people are so proud of. This Adam Black guy said he doesn't like gifs and now everyone is mass trolling him. Having been mass trolled like this I can relate to him easily enough. Have an opinion and the collective might of Google+'s lower class denizens jump on a bandwagon. I just saw a post where someone wanted to jump on board and had to get clarification she was tagging the proper Adam Black. She wasn't even connected to him ! Nor was she a part of the original discussion. She just wanted to follow the herd. When I called her out of it she claimed, "one gif doesn't make a troll." Perhaps not, but she's contributing to a larger troll effort. One straw doesn't break the camel's back, but thousands will. So, tonight, Google+ disgusts me. It probably will tomorrow as well. And possibly Sunday. I gave up Google+ for two months this spring
