I was discussing this earlier today with my girlfriend, and it seems Christianity (and J.W. and Mormons) meet the requirements of being a cult:

1) Attempts to actively seek/attract new members, often door to door.
2) Requirements of financial support.
3) Threat of bad things happening to your soul if you're not a member.
4) Disavowing any other belief system as flawed/false.

So, I figured I'd run it through the good ol' Forum Lounge. Mark, don't bother responding, we already know what you'll say. Anyone else, feel free.

Financial support is encouraged but not required. Does that offset the theory?

Uh, sure, we can be a cult. :)

All depends on your definition.


My personal definition for cult though is the leader is a man/woman/group/statue/whatever on earth, but thats just me, and not the dictionary definition.

Also, if Christian = Follower of Christ, you cant really include JWs and Mormons.

5) Xtains feels insulted and "dehumanized" when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.

6) Xtains vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of theirs.

7) They are willing to spend their life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.

heh, it seems that any definition of cult has to be most carefully worded to exclude the politically powerful cults that are in charge.

so christianity is not a cult because the definition of cult is 'anything that acts like christianity but isn't christianity'.

Jesus worked primarily through the 12, illustrating the same principle beautifully...he discipled them first before sending them out to others

the "emerging church" of 2007 tries to do it the opposite way, from the outside-in: they attempt to attract worldly people with entertainment...and it always fails

Indeed, entertainment is not what can truly satisfy our souls.

The peace of the Lord is a satisfaction that cannot be gained any other way. Only God can provide it. The heathen rages, but there is no shalom.

Our Lord is the Prince of Peace.

They may try to pretend their arguments are logical, but they are only fooling themselves as they try to find rest for their souls elsewhere, but it will not happen.

All His ways are pleasantness,: And all His paths are peace.

actually, most people don't believe it, because there is zero evidence for it in the fossil record

That is the most two of the absurd and biased statement I have ever read on this forum. Just because a complete fossil record doesn't exist doesn't make the assertion a fact, it just hasn't been proven yet. And as time goes on, and the more that fossils are discovered, the more clear the picture becomes. And newer fossils have been discovered and the picture is getting clearer with in the last few decades.

Here are a few sites the substantiate that fact

Here is an artical that brings up idea that God guided the process.

It is my belief that uneducated bible thumping right wing religious fanatics are keeping America ‘dumbed’ down, because they cannot teach religion in the classrooms. And because of it, they will not allow evolution to be taught in the schools.

God gave you a brain; do you think that He would want you to use it in this manner? What a squandered gift from Him by again 'dumbing' down the rest of us. God gave you a brain, so use it for yourself, not what 'others' tell you. That’s how cults start.

Just because you are incapable of any abstract reasoning, or thinking outside of the lines doesn't mean that the rest of us have to be as preposterous as you.

actually, most people don't believe it,

Roughly 40% of people in the US polled believe humans were created in their current form. That number drops precipitously in Western Europe and Asia where evangelical Christianity is not the norm. There's also a strong reverse correlation between education and religiosity. Most dumb people are really religious. Wonder why that is?


because there is zero evidence for it in the fossil record

and you will be brought low

God delights in humbling the little ants on this tiny world....it's an ever widening circle...you may be smarter than some, but you are a complete fool relative to God

a serious question--how can you brag about your accomplishments, and display the pride you display, and at the same time talk about how God will "bring low the proud" like it doesnt include you? No one brags more about themselves, their education, job, money, possessions, intelligence, muscles, girlfriend, etc etc etc in here than you do, so if the proud will be brought low, what is it about God that allows you to display that pride and still be saved?

Let us also talk about why the US does not believe in evolution.

The polls I've seen suggest that the overwhelming majority of people in the world believe in evolution as an explanation for the diversity of life. It's only a small subset of biblical literalists (with a few exceptions..e.g. Krishnas and Raelians) that object to it on religious grounds. Most are like Mark in that he's repeatedly demonstrated that he doesn't even understand what he objects to.


It is my belief that uneducated bible thumping right wing religious fanatics are keeping America ‘dumbed’ down, because they cannot teach religion in the classrooms. And because of it, they will not allow evolution to be taught in the schools.

Nonsense. We teach evolution in schools...period.

Despite many attempts to wedge creationism into schools there's never been a moratorium on teaching evolution, as it is regarded as scientific fact.

Since the teaching of evolution isn't going anywhere several creationist groups have tried to impose "teaching the controversy", "Intelligent design", and "equal time" measures with basically no success. If you're curious the relevant court cases are

Edwards v Aguillard
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/edwards-v-aguillard.html

Mclean v Arkansas
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/mclean-v-arkansas.html

Kitzmiller v. Dover (the most recent attempt to incorporate ID)
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/dover/kitzmiller_v_dover.html

Such a sad day when one group can destroy the freedom of another because of their beliefs, which is so un-American.

That's life. If it makes you feel any better they aren't really making any headway. We still teach science in school, and the details put nail after nail in the creationist coffin year after year. Most people recognize their foolishness for what it is. Creationism died as a viable explanation a long time ago, despite what Mark would have you believe.

Here's a recent survey from Science (via Panda's Thumb since most people won't have access to Science). Interesting that there's also a strong correlation with (self identifying) political affiliation.

No we teach it as evolution theory, big differance.

How so? Do you understand what the scientific definition of "theory" is. It's the highest degree of certainty we can assign something. There are no "proofs" in science. The best you can do is say that we've yet to observe anything that falsifies the model. And if/when that day comes we'll adjust the model as needed.


Not true, in Kansas it is next to impossible to teach evolution...I have first hand knowledge and experiance of this. Do you?

I'm quite familiar with the Kansas school board and their decisions to alter the definition of what science is to allow ID/Creationism to be taught as an alternative to evolution. However, you are correct when you assert I have no firsthand experience teaching in Kansas. I'm unaware of any school boards that prevent the teaching of evolution. If they are that's unfortunate. The Edwards and McLean decisions merely prevent the teaching of Creation. They don;t say anything about the constituents of a school district dumbing down the education plan because it upsets a few parents. :(

I have plenty of experience teaching at the college level in Washington state, Oregon, and Texas. Rest assured that there is no lack of creationists in any of those states.


I don't think think that is true, Mark is of the type of a follower, and lives on the east coast which is more red than blue and he has posted many links to support that there are many more like him unfortunatly.

Oh. I wasn't suggesting that there weren't creationists. They're just not in a position to affect much of anything other than public opinion. You'd be hard pressed to find a practcing scientist that's a creationist. Most of them are engineers, philosophers, and lawyers.

huh? what in the heck are you babbling about now, superhack?

ALL scripture is "God breathed".....ALL


Here you quote Corinthians but according to Pauls own admissions that they are words of his own and not of Gods.

http://sol.sci.uop.edu/~jfalward/God_Breathed.htm

"Paul: My Teachings Come from Me, Not God


Other evidence that Paul was not speaking of the New Testament writings when he said that all scripture is God-breathed comes in his admission that what he said was his opinion, not God's teaching:



To the rest I say this (I, not the Lord): If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, he must not divorce her. (1 Corinthians 7:12)


Obviously, Paul (above) wants his readers to know that it was Paul, not God, ("I, not the Lord") who teaches that even a non-believing wife must not be divorced. Thus, this teaching is not "God-breathed." We must conclude from this that either the editors of the Bible did not consider Paul's words (above) to be part of "Scripture," or else the Bible is in error when it said that all of Scripture is God-breathed.

Other evidence that Paul's writings were not God-inspired is found in the verse below in which Paul himself said that the things he taught were his own opinion, not God's. Paul says that he is not expressing a view that was inspired in him by God, and to make sure his audience knows that it is just his opinion, he says, "I think":



Now about virgins: I have no command from the Lord, but I give a judgment as one who by the Lord's mercy is trustworthy. Because of the present crisis, I think that it is good for you to remain as you are. (1 Corinthians 7:25-26)

Believe me, you do not want to live in KS with what they do there, let alone go to school. Even if it is not policy, teachers will assert their religion on you, and you are an outsider if you do not agree. No wonder I hated the F'up state. Glad I only lived there for a year.

explain the formation of DNA

It likely came from modifying RNA. RNA is inherently unstable because it has two reactive hydroxyl groups on the ribose ring. By losing one of the hydroxyl groups it becomes a much more stable polymer. Both RNA and DNA Nucleotides are among the easiest polymers to generate in your standard abiogenesis experiment.

explain the formation of a water molecule

the scriptures at that moment in time referred to everything written down by the apostles and prohets to that date, which included most, if not all, or Paul's letters....this was late in Peter's life

--half of which are not included in the bible, as many books were discarded AFTER the time when all "scripture" was written. So, that should say something, and you left that part out of your little story.

I understand completely...as usual

you're a little kid at my feet

Werent you the same guy that was just saying the other day that no one can completely understand?

worshi[[ing the God of the book is supposed to entail doing what that God tells you to, and not doing what He tells you not to. Let us know how you're coming on that.

Seriously, do you even realize how many people would listen to you so much more if not for your contradictions? Imagine the good you could do for the fight....but with you it always has to be about how you're so far above everyone else...that is NOT worshipping God, it's worshipping yourself.

observable, testable, repeatable

The problem with you chanting the observable, testable, repeatable mantra is that you clearly don't understand what it means in science. Apparently you think science "proves" things when that's not the way it works. You come up witha model and hypothesis and then you try to falsify it. If you can you need to adjust your model. Repeatable means that you can describe the experimental setup so that anyone with the appropriate skill set can perform the experiment themselves.

If we were limited to testing things in real time we wouldn't get very far.

none of which apply to the creation event...am I correct, dr. drew?
The short answer is you're wrong.

The creation event and evolution, as I've been telling you, are two different things.

I believe you can easily test both. Read up on the Harvard Origin of Life (OoL) project. They plan to recreate life de novo.

honegod
01-20-2007, 12:08 AM
y'all type too fast .

the difference between scientists and engineers is that engineers follow the rules that scientists create.

so naturally cultists would be followers, that being the mindset that their cult demands, rather than creators, which their cult deems sin, because ONLY god is allowed to create.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 12:15 AM
except the "big bang"?

I'm not aware of any knowledge we have Pre Big Bang other than a postulated singularity.

contradictory to your previous statement

Which previous statement? That a God may have created the first life on Earth and evolution progressed from there? I don't discount the possibility of a panspermic or "seeding" event, but I don't think they are necessary either. Life originating through abiogenesis is perfectly plausible. 3.5 billion years is a really long time. Eukaryotes have only been around for ~1 billion.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 12:20 AM
true science entails postulating a hypothesis, then making observations to test that hypothesis, which may be considered a theory if repeated observations confirm the hypothesis

this procedure is not possible with regard to origins...period

How so? What's holding it back?


correct, but evolution can be reverse extrapolated to make inferences about the origin of life, which is not science
Evolution says absolutely nothing about how life originiated. Zip, zero, nada. It merely explains how diversity came about once life was rolling.

Common descent is accepted fact. Every organism on the planet shares a common ancestor, or small group of ancestors. That merely debunks "human" origins as described in the bible. I'll even grant that it doesn't prevent humans from being made in God's image, as front loading is entirely possible. I don't believe that we are though.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 12:24 AM
completely unscientific random speculation

Again. Your person incredulity is meaningless. Your dislike of the data or its interpretation is irrelevant. The Earth is ~4.5 billion years old. The oldest fossils we've found are prokaryote like and ~3.5 billion years old. Eukaryotes don't show up in the fosill record for an additional 2.5 billion years. I'm sorry that conflicts with your religious views. :moon:

wingsfan

but it facilitates inferences about it: materialism

How so? Because you want a strawman to burn? Explain how evoultion=materialism

I'll accept your changing my words as conceding defeat.


more unscientific speculation

Again. Your personal objections mean squat.

Take a gander at a nested hierarchy sometime. Take a look at how all primates have the same inactivated ascrbate acid sysnthase gene all disrupted in the same spot. Take a look at how all cats are missing the taste receptors for sweetness due to the same mutation in the same gene. Run CLUSATLW on protein sequences of seemingly unrelated organisms sometime. Anyone with eyes can see how things line up and where the differences are.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 12:37 AM
speculation...not science

Funny. It's in my college geology text book.



see above

C-14 is useless for such imaginary dates, so they are guesstimated based on radio dating of rock layers, which is still more guesstimation

No, radio dating of rock layers is solidly accepted science. Any idea how many isotopes can be used to radiodate? Your objections are meaningless.

Explain how a fossil gets into a rock if they are not the same age.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 09:59 AM
simple, the religion of evolution facilitates an materialistic philosophy: matter and energy is eternal, the supernatural domain does not exist, and all life is self creating and self sustaining.

I fail to see the problem there. And what you've described is more naturalistic than materialistic.

materialists have lost God in His creation

No. We haven't "lost" anything. There's simply no evidence to support your creation mythology.

they ascribe supernatural intelligence to DNA itself

No.

and miss the Designer

Yet there's no evidence of design, much less a designer.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 10:03 AM

Presumably a Geologist, with training in...Geology. People with the relevant training and expertise are the ones that write the textbooks Mark. It's an amazing concept that you seem to fail to grasp.

another religionist duped in his belief system

Right. Those silly "Darwinist" geologists. :rolleyes: Just one massive conspiracy among scientists. Some day I'll teach you the secret handshake. :eek:


sure, "millions of years" is an essential part of the materialist delusion, so the many glaring problems and inconsistencies associated with radio dating of rocks are simply ignored to keep the fantasy alive

There aren't any glaring weaknesses. Only creationist strawmen.

wingsfan

it's an endless do-loop

Only because you're wrong, and insist on repeating your tired mantra. The evidence is all on the side of science. You're either wrong in your literal interpretation of scripture or your God is a deceiver and a liar.

but you can only be proven wrong

Hardly. You've already been shown to be wrong. And we don't have to wait for some nebulous future event to confirm that.


many of the greatest physicists, including Einstein, disagreed with you
Even if he did disagree with what I believe, so what? There's still no evidence, and all you have to fall back on is an argument from authority...which is yet another logical fallacy. Keep them coming, I'm sure you can hit for the cycle.

Fact is you're wrong. Einstein was at best a pantheist/deist (not so different from my own belief). He had no belief in your personal God.

And

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 11:00 AM
oh, I understand it perfectly well

You'll have to forgive me for doubting that, as you've repeatedly demonstrated that you don't understand how the system works.

"The question of origins is plainly a matter of science history—not the domain of applied science. Contrary to the unilateral denials of many evolutionists, one’s worldview does indeed play heavily on one’s interpretation of scientific data, a phenomenon that is magnified in matters concerning origins, where neither repeatability, nor observation, nor measurement—the three immutable elements of the scientific method—may be employed. Many proponents of evolutionism nevertheless persist in claiming exclusive “scientific” status for their popularized beliefs, while curtly dismissing (if not angrily deriding) all doubters, and spurning the very advice of Darwin himself."

Flat out BS. Repeat it all you want, but your personal incredulity is meaningless.

More misquoting. I happily accept your concession of defeat.

the point is, men FAR smarter than a pointy headed little lab rat like yourself believed, and still believe, in Design in the universe

I could give a rats ass what anyone believes. If they have evidence to support their beliefs they should present it. Otherwise it's just a (religious) opinion. And as I pointed out before, their opinions are no more relevant than the gal checking me out at the supermarket or the pedophile the next neighborhood over. *shrug*


the entire periodic table is evidence, your moron...

Evidence that atoms and chemicals exist sure. Just how much time do you think it would take for the elements of the table to all result from hydrogen fusion? Here's a hint. It would take much longer than 6000 years.

the UNIVERSE screams design

Interesting that I've never heard anyone other than an Abrahamic believer make that argument. You'd think I'd have run across it in a class or two if it were true.

but he clearly believed in Design in the universe, something your little flapping gums foolishly rages against

Perhaps you should read what he actually wrote so you can get the context. It's pretty obvious you're butchering what he wrote as badly as you butcher scripture.

you can only be buried

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 11:45 AM
tell me then, what evidence of design in nature would you recognize or respect??

Anything that didn't have a plausible natural explanation or traceable evoultionary history. We've yet to encounter anything like that in Biology.

The Physics "fine tuning" arguement coupled to quantam mechanics (from the little I actually understand) is the closest things to design in nature that I can see. Most physicists don't seem to think there's evidence of design though, so I'll trust their judgment.

I can think of thousands of examples

They're likely all wrong and easily refuted (and likely not your own thoughts). Claptraps like the eye, immune system, clotting systems, basterial flagellum, etc. are tiresome at this point.

but you would go right back to your darwinian beleif system...it's an impasse

It's an impasse because the ToE works better than any other explanation and has all of the current evidence on its side. You don't have anything to offer other than personal incredulity and hand waving.

01-20-2007, 12:38 PM
how about the origin of information...the origin of RNA?

Nucleotides aren't particularly difficult to create de novo and there are plenty of examples of small self replicating stretches (ribozymes). So no, the origin of RNA isn't a strong case for design.


you'll go to your grave a bitter, joyless, jaded old man....just like Carl Sagan

I doubt it. I'd venture a guess that I'm far happier than you are.

I see God in the molecular structure of a blade of grass

My guess is that you don't even have a passing familiarity with the molecular structure of a blade of glass. There's more to it than cellulose.

I'm not familar with him

Glenn Morton's Story: Why I Left Young Earth Creationism (http://home.entouch.net/dmd/gstory.htm)

the evidence for a global flood is ubiquitous in the geologic column/record
Not really. The geology courses I took made now mention of it, and I've never seen a secular scientist make claims of a global flood. If the evidence were there it would be taught. It's not. I'm sorry that conflicts with your religious views. *shrug*

without radio dating, no one can formulate a decent attack

Nonsense. The physical limitations of how many animals could fit onto the boat, and the rate of speciation required post-flood are enough to invalidate it's occurance in the time frame you suggest. Couple that with fossil sorting (http://wiki.cotch.net/index.php/Fossil_Sorting) and the complete lack of evidence for a global flood and it's a no brainer. Put it in the same category as Aesop's.

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 01:39 PM
"fossil sorting" has long been debunked

wingsfan
01-20-2007, 01:49 PM
I'm not sure why you say that

Because there are two trends in the fossil record. A trend towards complexity and a trend towards modernity. Both invalidate a global flood explanation for their existence.

are elephants as common as rats?

What do you suppose that has to do with sorting?

were dinosaurs as common as the millions of nautiloids found in the rock layers in GC?

The key is where they are found, not their rarity.

again, it's a question of perception and limited data

Only in your mind. The data doesn't seem to be all that lacking, and the paleontologists don't seem to agree with your assessment. I'm sorry that conflicts with your religious beliefs. *shrug*

You know damn well how fossils form. What's that got to do with sorting? How does an icthyosaur end up in different strata than a dolphin? How about birds and pterosaurs? Flowering plants v. non flowering plants? Those are all easily explained by evolutionary theory...and are impossible for a global flood model.

Guess which one you are? :roll:Mark has no sense of humor so he probably hasn't seen the movie. :)

Since that's the case, I'll paraphrase...

MARK: None of your rational thought shall pass.
DREW: What?
MARK: None of your rational thought shall pass.
DREW: I have no quarrel with you, but the account of Genesis is a load of crap.
MARK: Then you shall die.
DREW: I command you to use logic!
MARK: I use my brain for no man.
DREW: So be it!
[DREW chops MARK'S left arm off]

DREW: Now stand aside, douche bag.
MARK: 'Tis but a scratch.
DREW: A scratch? Your arm's off!
MARK: No, it isn't.
DREW: Well, what's that, then? [points to arm laying on the ground]
MARK: I've had worse. I bench 320 pounds, you know.
DREW: You liar!
MARK: Come on, you pussy! But if you show up at my house, I'll blow you away!
[DREW chops MARK'S right arm off]

DREW: Victory is mine!
MARK: Hah! [kick] Come on, then.
DREW: What?
MARK: Have at you! [kick]
DREW: The fight is mine.
MARK: Oh, had enough, eh?
DREW: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left!
MARK: Yes, I have. I bench 320 pounds, you know.
DREW: Look! [points to arms on ground]
MARK: Just a flesh wound. [kick]
DREW: Look, stop that.
MARK: Chicken! [kick] Chickennn!
DREW: Look, I'll have your leg. [kick] Right!
[DREW chops MARK'S right leg off]

MARK: Right. I'll do you for that!
DREW: You'll what?
MARK: Come here!
DREW: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
MARK: My belief in the Lord makes me invincible!
DREW: You're a looney.
MARK: The Lord God always triumphs! Have at you! Come on, then. [whop]
[DREW chops MARK'S last leg off]

MARK: All right, we'll call it a draw.
DREW: Next.
MARK: Oh. Oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastard! Come back here and take what's coming to you. I'll bite your legs off!

ok

Give the source YZF....
Dr. Henry Morris, the racist YEC. Thats right!

YEC....YEC...YEC....YEC...YEC....YEC...YEC....YEC. ..
YEC....YEC...YEC....YEC...YEC....YEC...YEC....YEC. ..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_M._Morris

"The work The Genesis Flood by John C. Whitcomb and Henry M. Morris has been criticized for taking quotes out of context and completely misquoting sources.[4] For example, in one infamous instance, a source which read "the sea which vanished so many million years ago" was quoted as "the sea which vanished so many years ago."[4]

John G. Solum has criticized the work for being inaccurate.[5] Solum noted "Whitcomb and Morris are mistaken about the nature of the rocks associated with thrust faults. Their claim about fossils is based on a YEC misunderstanding of how rocks are dated relative to each other, and how the geologic column was constructed."[5] In fact Solum noted, "Morris' explanation of relative dating is not "somewhat oversimplified" it is entirely incorrect."[5]

Also, when bringing up Morris' claims of racism in evolutionary thinking, it has been questioned if Morris himself showed racism for asserting that the descendants of Ham "were marked especially for secular service to mankind".[6]

In 1991, Transnational Association of Christian Colleges and Schools (TRACS) granted the Institute for Creation Research accreditation. This created controversy because the TRACS "board of directors was none other than Henry Morris, founder of ICR."[7] Four years later TRACS' government recognition was put on probation for 18 months until it complied with staff and accreditation changes.

Massimo Pigliucci criticized Morris for heading the ICR, and allowing it to leave out and ignore material from its self-published works that interferes with its "mission" and "beliefs".[8] Pigliucci also criticized Morris' intrepretation of thermodynamics.[9]"



Who are you putting your faith into YZF????

oh I know, it's AIG, so it's "ignorance" *smiles*

I already showed one example of their direct lies when we discussed the hebrew words, marky....so before you go around parroting the same excuses, they HAVE been proven to be dishonest. No amount of complaining or making excuses on your part changes that fact.

oh geez, more baseless smear campaigns

baseless, my ass....you got caught lying more than enough times....your sources have been caught lying too...again, both you and your source were full of shit in the "circle or sphere" issue....baseless?? Not a chance. Dont hate because people use your own words against you....if you didnt lie, no one would be able to show you as a liar.

like your flapping gums when you get caught with your dick in the chicken? Like your flapping gums each time you are forced to change your tune in here because someone comes forth with facts that kill your claims?

In any event, for someone who is supposed to be capable of educating others about God's word, you are up to your neck in your own ass with contradictions....good luck with that:owned:

how would you be?? lest you forget, when judgment takes place, you will only be there for YOURS.....unless, of course, you now claim to be GOD....is that it? Are you god now, shitstain?

you are clearly on a massive power trip, and in recent threads, that trip has experienced a few flat tires. Better luck next time, asshole

your team just got raped, jonnie :owned:

bahahahahahahaha


that owns me how, exactly??? The team that plays where you lived struggled just to break even at 8-8 this year, so you saying this is pretty fucking pathetic. Yes, they blew it massively....but in the end, they still did worlds better than Carolina and a lot of other teams there, chief, so stop being such an ignorant ass already.

By the way, what does this have to do with the topic at hand? Oh, it doesnt?? Like I said, youre running out of excuses and it shows. So tell us, what do you think your church will say? You know, when they see how much of a fucktard you've been the whole time you were dishonest to them??:bowdown:

I've never been a Carolina fan, another straw man

your beloved team got raped

my "beloved" team??

Dude, ITS JUST FUCKING FOOTBALL ALREADY.....where the hell do you get your unbelievable imbalance that made this bullshit possible?

I like the team, so what?? Fans of every team except for one will find that their team didnt win the big game, so what the fuck is your point??

Oh yeah, your point is that you are a raving cock holster that cant win an argument with a sock puppet, so you bring shit like this out to try to distract from the reality that you have no intelligent reply to the ass-owning you have received.

Good day, you ignorant douche bag

yep, it sure is clapped out....looks better than your pink FD, thats for certain. Not a scratch on it and a black car shows everything. Clapped out, right....as opposed to your bolt-on queen that you admittedly use to get attention from chicks?? But hey, since you really are single, no harm there I suppose. Then again, some of us dont need a car to get women. Clearly, you would...

he thought I put an aftermarket bumper on it, you fuckwit. that was his point--that he doesnt like the bumper. That in no way changes the condition of my car--because a guy on teh intarweb doesnt like the bumper.
