I think you are just blinded and hardened by Almighty God.
Here are verse from Romans 9 on this very subject.
9:11
(For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
9:12
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
9:13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
9:14
What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? God forbid.
9:15
For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
9:16
So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
9:17
For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.
9:18
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
9:19
Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will?
9:20
Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
9:21
Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?
9:22
What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:
9:23
And that he might make known the riches of his glory on the vessels of mercy, which he had afore prepared unto glory,
9:24
Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?
You are simply one that Almighty God hardened. You don't have a choice whether to believe or not. God chooses his elect before time began, if you are not chosen, then you will be hardened.
I don't hate you at all. I just find it amusing that you keep refusing to answer the question that Mr. McGee asked you, and since you cannot or will not answer, your silence leads me to believe that you are a homosexual. At the very least you are a Homosexual activist, and in my opinion that makes you a Homosexual at heart.
In a way -- yes. This is why most people are much more comfortable with a female baby sitter than a male baby sitter, and why the vast majority of day care workers are also female.
Actually, I agree with that. It seems at least sensible on the surface for, say, the Boy Scouts to exclude homosexuals from being the adult in charge of a group of boys. Of course on a deeper look at the question, it is pretty easy to lie about it, so the protection is largely illusionary. Anyone honest enough to admit they are homosexual to the Scout organization probably isn't the type that will be buggering the little kids.
Frankly, it would be far better to encourage homosexuals to be open about their orientation. To drive them underground with a constant drumbeat of hate messages is to simply remove a valuable piece of information that you could use when leaving your kid in the care of other specific adults.
Homophobic hysteria is actually counter-productive -- it doesn't reduce the population of homosexuals at all -- it just makes them go underground. You might have known who they were -- now you don't.
The guessing on this forum is stunningly and hilariously amiss.
I don't think my guesses were "Amiss" otherwise you wouldn't have yelled at the moderator about my post.
You really shouldn't post people's home addresses -- ironically the one you posted was wrong. So yeah, your guess was "amiss." I saw no reason to subject the people living at that address to harasment from the hate-mongers. So yeah, I hit the abuse button. But you should have known better.
By typing your name in google, with Minnesota next to it, I was able to find sites that you posted on.
Now your address may not be correct now, but at one time that was you, and it was your address. The posts were from 94-97 so it is possible that you moved since then, and many of the phone numbers in the pages were different.
However I am sure that you are not denying you were the same person that ran the skypoint page are you? What happened to that page anyway, it doesn't work anymore???
There are more current addresses for you online, but I didn't post them because my point was not posting your address, it was proving that you did write the posts that I linked to.
Besides there are no hate-mongers on FreeRepublic who would harass you at your number or house anyway. The people here are nice and tend to be conservative. I wouldn't dream of harassing someone at their house because they held different views than myself, I don't think others here on freerepublic would either.
Thank you Registered!
I got cable modem service, so I let go my other ISP. I really don't see the relevence. I didn't care about your links. I just don't want your fellow homophobes firebombing the house that a couple of innocent Christian children and their parents live at -- just because in your blind rage you think you might be able to send a homosexual more quickly to deserving hell.
