There is nothing of God in your posts - just a human ego that needs to feel itself part of an “in-group” so it can look down on an “out-group”.
Wow Jeeves,
I just looked at your homepage. There is nothing of God there - “just a human ego that needs to feel itself part of an “in-group’ so it can look down on an “out-group”
LOL
I just read Colofornian's post again. It mentions Jesus many times. Or is Jesus not God to you?
Did you come in this thread simply as a critic to posters here so you could look down on us? (At least I ask you what your motivation is -- I don't pretend to be an internal judge of another's heart like you just did)

Ejon, I know your post was in regard to a distinct poster, but wow! that fits in this particular exchange as well!
As for Mr. Jeeves' There is nothing of God in your posts......boy, does your post above compared to your posts of June 2008 thru today ever show that your ears need to hear a sermon from your keyboard hands!
On a Feb. 26 post of yours -- your last mention of God -- you actually seemed to compliment Ayn Rand over her LACK of mentioning God:
Rand correctly recognized that most of today's major religions are in fact political organizations (Islam being the most extreme example), striving for power, dominance, and steady cash flows in the same ways collectivist political entities do. She makes no particular comment on God one way or the other - only on the rulebooks promoted by Earthly intermediaries and their eerie similarity to such humanity-enslaving works as The Communist Manifesto. Such intermediaries naturally squeal like stuck pigs at having their scams thus identified. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2194540/posts
So Ayn gets a compliment for NOT mentioning God -- and I get a slam for supposedly NOT mentioning God -- though I regularly mention Him or His embodiment (JC) on my posts!!!
Aside from that, your posts mentioning "God" these past 9 months are pretty slim: You mentioned H.L. Mencken praising God on Jan. 15...
...and then in your ONLY OTHER jot&tittle 'God' mentions over the past ninth months you did so as you made strange efforts on Nov. 16 + July 30 of last year...
...to go to very small threads mentioning "pray for fire victims in CA" in order to accuse posters there of tying CA fires to God's wrath...
...I mean, come on, how controversy-free can you get in a thread titled, “Please pray for the fire victims in CA?”
So what? Were you going to fire threads in 2008 just to blast away as part of ...a human ego that needs to feel itself part of an “in-group” so it can look down on an “out-group?” [The "in-group" being the vast majority of people in our culture who somehow boast of their omniscience, that, "No, God could never use a natural calamity to judge anybody...why strike the thought!"]
You'd think somebody preaching There is nothing of God in your posts... would have streams & streams of God-mentioned posts...-- yet your only 2008 June thru Dec "mentions" consisted of nothing more than what you claimed to know God wasn't involved in? (What? Did He tell you that?)
Here's what you said:
These threads reveal the true face of many so-called "religious conservatives" - glee at the thought that God is wreaking vengeance on someone they don't like. Muslims after 9/11 displayed same base emotions. (Nov. 16 #27 http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2132969/posts +
And then on July 30 thread titled “Lodi pastor: Gay marriage didn't cause wildfires”: Well, since the fires mostly affected rural, conservative-leaning Californians and came nowhere near all of the newly married gay couples in the coastal cities, I would say anyone making this claim doesn’t have much confidence in God’s ability to aim his wrath. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2053970/posts
Well, I won't blame you for the thinnest-of-wafer God mentions in your posts. (After all, Las Vegas & San Francisco are pretty God-free places in many of its quarters). But please tell us how living in such sub-cultures has seemed to set you on the edge that you're able to know with 100% sure revelation-like quality that God won't ever use a natural calamity to convey His wrath?
There is nothing of God in your posts
Is he reading the same posts I am? Post #67 was an excellent, and Godly response.
Of course, Mormonism itself has the attitude of being the “in group” while Christians (especially Born Again Christians) and Jews are looked down upon as outsiders (use of the term “Gentile” for both). I cannot count the number of times I have heard an LDS use the term “reborn” or “gracer” derogatorily.
