Okay, seriously -- what does that even mean?

Reading keepy there, I see a big, fat guy sitting on a toilet and farting large sapphires.

Gotta say, keepy has some whacked-out ideas but he can sure paint a picture!

Wha...the....????

The guy's a Christian with a rep of 14, no wonder he's making absolutely no sense.

In other words, it is IMPOSSIBLE to be a conservative Christian.
For example, if a person is punched on the left side of their face, that person is supposed to allow the other person to punch him on the left side of their face.
If we are forced to walk a mile, then we are supposed to offer to walk a second mile.
If a person takes our coat, then we are supposed to offer him our shirt.
At NO time are we supposed to shoot the other person.

Moronic conservatives believe that owning and using guns is a God-given right - when, in fact, Jesus Christ would disapprove of it - and Christians SUPPOSEDLY follow His Teachings.
Yet you have to remember Jesus said, " I came not to bring peace but a sword." He talked about splitting families up and turning one against the other. THIS IS A MAN OF PEACE????????

He said,

Quote:
"But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.
Christian scholars have trouble discerning the meaning of these troubling words, but secularists have no trouble: Jesus knew the time was coming when the Romans were going to arrest the bunch of them and he was telling them it would be a fight to the death. "They won't take us alive. We're going to arm ourselves with swords and fight to the last man! Sell everything you have and buy swords to defend ourselves!" But the apostles deserted him because they weren't insane enough to go against a Roman garrison but Jesus was. That's why he ended up on a cross crucified as an rebel enemy of the empire while the apostles fled into the night.

It's really quite evident what's going on here.

Barely literate, posting nonsense like tonytony, for their own strange reasons...I've been waiting for thread-locks and bans as has been done for others doing the same schtick, but it hasn't happened.

We get these fanatics occasionally coming in here with a reputation of 10 posting this Biblical gibberish for a few days and then we never hear from them again. It's almost like a religious/mystical experience for them, stoned out of their minds on Jesus after having a dramatic conversion. I don't think Jesus would appreciate someone using him as a drug to get high.

"I'M HIGH ON JEEEEEZUS!!" (eyes spinning in opposite directions)

Just checked, and this is actually one of four nearly-identical threads Keepy has started. Two of which have already been locked.

I'm gonna start keeping a tally.
