The thread over at SharperIron was closed due to a few who seem to be eager in taking offense over anything that isn't 'in line' with their thinking, and wanted to gripe even more about the supposedly immodest content of your original posting of a picture of a punked out young woman and a dog. Worse than that, Mr. Brandenburg got the ad-hominem comment of the year ("and Phil is in spin mode, instant revisionism, which is accepted by the mind-numbed kool-aid drinkers who want an admiring glance.") and ended up getting that thread closed over at SharperIron (thank you, Greg Linscott). So much for the spiritually-minded fundamentalists who want to maintain, even enforce, the 'standard' of what's right and what's not, yet they cannot control the tone of their own language.Mister Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359700695541339747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1152360968982994642006-07-08T05:16:00.000-07:002006-07-08T05:16:00.000-07:00p-mcbc,My mistake, I missed the connection between...p-mcbc,<BR/><BR/>My mistake, I missed the connection between the SI note and the CH comment.<BR/><BR/>Does Phil have the corner?

I'm telling Ma. <BR/><BR/>Phil, I am offended that you would post not only a comic book showing a prisoner's rippling biceps, thereby probably causing impure thoughts among Internet savvy inmates at San Quentin, but also that you would trivialize an important issue as being offended in a comic book. Are you surreptitously on the take from Marvel or Warner Brothers? The use of the word "tippler" was also highly inappropriate. If someone heads out now for too much gin and tonic, you will be personally responsible. <BR/><BR/>Besides, I am the only one here permitted to use archaic language. I feel like I am surrounded by a bunch of jackanapes.Solameaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09869424956571944997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1152292766007940412006-07-07T10:19:00.000-07:002006-07-07T10:19:00.000-07:00OK.

I guess I should be seething, belligerent, seeing red, angry, overheating, overwheening, ticked-off, freaking out, foaming at the mouth, . . .<BR/><BR/>But, that guy that is saying "Who's the weaker brother now?" O man, that has absolutely cracked me up. "I've got your label . . ." <BR/><BR/>I'll be in California next week. You'd better be watching for two guys wearing stripes. JOKE, JOKE, JOKE. Don't call Jack Bauer or anything. I'm just kidding.<BR/><BR/>Like I said on SI to some of the nervous "young fundamentalists":<BR/>One side says the other side is legalistic, nuts, pharisaical, overwheening, etc. We say they are loose, left-leaning, new-evangelical, worldly, etc. <BR/><BR/>Try reading a little church history and you'll find that a whole lot of men have argued a whole lot of things and its certainly been a whole lot rougher at times. I will even admit that a lot that was written about me at Pyromaniacs actually "cracked me up." Kent and I have talked and had some laughs about it. <BR/><BR/>That is not to say we are not serious about these things. But, in the end life goes on. We preach, love our wives, play with our kids, give out the Gospel, serve our respective churches and the Lord, and enjoy the Lord.preachermanmcbchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10521981485439602120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21212024.post-1152292127667942072006-07-07T10:08:00.000-07:002006-07-07T10:08:00.000-07:00Oh, That was Mr. Johnson not Mr. Turk who posted t...Oh, That was Mr. Johnson not Mr. Turk who posted that anti-vegan comic.
