Thank you for your kind words. And I want to say here publicly to @Dragonpol that while we do disagree very strongly on one particular subject and that sometimes these internet debates do get carried away that I have no personal animosity towards him. I would add that he is one of the members whose opinion on Bond I value the most and some of his blog posts are some of the best I ever read. I will also add that there was no personal attack as far as I could see on the Paris thread from either me or my fellow heathens, although because of the subject discussions can get heated.
=))
He misses the point with the nothing personal bs, but he's too dense, although I think unsocialized is just as much on the mark.
Sark is right and I am not sucking up to him, he just happens to have stated that which normal socialized human beings figured out a long time ago.
The Count Ludovico is on a crusade. He is obsessed. The guy used to post as @everyman on the old board where countless members also complained about his shit.
He is obsessed with religion. It's all over this board and the old board. Its all he wants to talk about. I'm sure he rants in his sleep.
@birdleson. I did promise not to provoke the bear any further on that other thread, and I have kept kept that promise. He managed to derail a bond-lit thread of all things, with not one but two religious rants (despite not a peep on the subject from anyone else either) the second rant coming even after being told to knock it off by the mod. But that's all he wants to go on about.
@chrisisall Don't worry about mean. He's basically immune. You have to have some social awareness to be hurt. I couldn't possibly say anything to make him feel bad or hurt. @dragonpol is a kinder gentler soul though who might get understandably exasperated with the stupidity of it all, but @rasputin not likely, and again how did I manage to guess who was being a dick.
I think @nothingpersonal (again as if that's actually the point-dense) should open his own little private rant thread.
He could call it "God does not exist but I hate him anyway and I need the whole world to know about it 24/7...because I am a nutter" and I mean that in the nicest way of course. Yes, I can be disengenuous too.
btw if anyone wants to peruse good discussions on such matters, checks out the public discussions that Chesterton and George Bernard Shaw had back in the day.
Chesterton from a Christian perspective and Shaw from an agnostic stance.
Both very civilized and the two were the best of the friends. Both giants in their field.
Civilized rational socialized human beings.
Neither had to make pathetic "it's nothing personal" type aplogies to anyone.
:))
@Chrisisall, do we really 'choose' what to believe? I know that I couldn't consciously change my religious beliefs, it's not like changing clothes.
When we lose the ability to choose for ourselves, we become the type of human clay that the likes of the Islamic State can mould into whatever they want to achieve their power hungry goals.
Be independent of any organized beliefs or you fall prey to bulls**t.
Here endeth the sermon. :))
Same here. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and believes different things; though I'm firm in my own beliefs, I won't harass someone for having different ones. I wish everyone could set religion/politics/etc. aside to just get along - or at least be civilized.
Without going into my beliefs, this is what I mean. I don't have a choice, I can't decide to believe otherwise until some compelling reason to presents itself.
@timmer and @Ludovico give it a rest gents. You need to take a deep breath and let it go.
Not your fault. Maybe I shouldn't have said a thing but since I've been mentioned here I thought I'd say where I stand. I can't do more if some people find me insincere. Except shutting up but that I won't.
Yeah I know. I usually add Godless heathens.

"I would take a hand for this betrayal, but you need it to post."
Happy to have you back, hope all has been well!
Thanks, yes. I just needed a little rest to recharge the batteries.
State your name and occupation for the record, please.
The Lord Dragonpol MP - Leader of 'The Colonel Sun Research Special Interest Party'
Occupation: Assassin and part-time serial killer.
You will have to be debriefed, and declared fit for active service. You can only return to duty once you've past the tests, so take them seriously...and a shower might be in order.
