Ahh I did not know that, I always thought "Latter day" was christians. Good to know.

EDIT: I should probibly let you know the preceding was a work of mostly fiction, (They do call and bug me, I do have a new roommate who is pretty cool, and I do have a conceled weapons license and a 9mm Glock, no shotgun, that about the only parts of my story that are true) also I have never been a member of the Mormon or Christian church. It's just when I write a story like "Why I don't like Mormons" it carrys a lot more water when it is written in first person.

EDIT: Ohh ya im just brushing up this story before I submit it as a work of fiction to a creative writting class, so anything you want to add is welcome.

They sorta are, they say they are christians but refer to themselves as mormons. Mainstream Christians however, claim they are not Christians as they have "added to scripture" which the bible says is a big no no.

Yanari, just for clarity's sake, Muslims believe in Jesus and follow some of his teachings as well, but I'd find it quite odd if you called them Christians too, regardless what a dictionary's brief definition of the term means. Given that definition, most of you would be Christians also considering how frequently you invoke his name after hitting your thumb with a hammer.

Just sayin'.

The deal with Muslims and Jesus is this: they believe that he was an important prophet, but they DON'T believe that he is the messaiah (sp?). This is where Mahammed (sp?) comes in. He went down to a rock, and God told him, "Hey. These Christians are getting it all wrong."

According to Muslims, the new testament is incorrect. Something about the original bible being burned and four guys (John, Luke, Matthew and Mark) re-writing it incorrectly.

How do I know all this? I had a gf that was muslim, and we got into a big arguement about the flaws of Christianity. Long story short, I put her in her place -=)

Dude, you sure do talk alot of sh*t to be too pu55y to back it up. I suppose you use your handicap as a failsafe so that you dont get your *** pummeled after runnin that yap. Perhaps you've made off good with that to fall back on.

Ive been "up in arms" with telemarketers many times, and have had heated conversations with such, but Its really your responsibility to not provoke the kind of wrath that this guy showed up with. That is YOUR fault for provoking him. It was your decision to just say "whatever" on the phone and hang up, but you talked smack.

The issue here was the church, and the telemarketing, NOT the lady in question. You attacked her personally and most likely emotionally. She is just doing what she feels is right and good. If you have issues, continue to talk to the head man/woman. Most of these telemarketers are just doing their portions.

It's sad too that you find so much security in your weapons that you can just be as disrespectful to whoever you feel. Id watch my back though, that sh*t wont fly for long.

Is it real or is it Memorex?

One thing is for sure...some people felt your imagined pain at being harrassed, and other just attacked your post for the half baked B.S. that it was!
ROFLMAO!

People are free to disagree with me until the end of time about whether or not mormons are christians. I thought I made my position clear:

If someone calls themselves christian, I will consider them to be one. As a non-believer I don't care one way or the other, but I do try to at least be outwardly respectful of people's beliefs (or claims of belief).

Perhaps some of you have authority from "The Christian Faith" to grant or deny permission to various groups to state they worship Jesus. I rather doubt it, though. If you want to exclude them from the Jesus club, that's your business. It doesn't effect me and my personal stand on the matter was the only one I was stating.

The dictionary definition I provided was merely to demonstrate that some of us use a broader definition of the term "christian" than the one some of you are applying.

Plik - I read out loud to my husband that article you linked. Tears streaming down my face, laughing so hard I could barely get some of the words out. I can see why they give your home a wide berth.

That's fine. There's also a lot of people who call mushrooms "plants" because mushrooms are close enough to being a plant to make the people happy. Those who know better know mushrooms are classified seperately as fungi which share many characteristics with plants but lack some key elements. It all depends on how much you care about the details.

This is what usually works for me, with telemarketers.



RING

Me: Hello

Scumbag telemarketer interrupting my dinner: Hello this is Jessica with xyz company and I would like to sell you some useless crap.

Me: Hi, are you naked?

STIMD: Pardon?

Me: Are you naked? I am. Do you want to know what I'm doing?

STIMD: Ahhh sir I'm with the xyz ...

Me: I'm thinking about you, naked. Do you have big t*ts?

STIMD: (flustered) really! I'm going to get my supervisor on the line.

Me: Great, does she have big t*ts too?

STIMD: A**hole. click.


This works almost all of the time, and can be tons of fun. Try it at home tonight.

Grimfar, are you saying that those times it doesn't work, the women on the phone tell you what they're wearing & describe their "assets" for you?

Jophiel, are the mushrooms calling themselves plants? You left out that detail.

And leapwater, I have been called up and harrased by these @#%^ing people for quite a while. They will not leave me alone, I will say whatever the @#%^ I want to them, if they don't want me saying sh*t to them THEN THEY SHOULDEN'T CALL ME SHOULD THEY!!


Ok.. I suppose my point was that the ladies and gentlemen that call you are normally put up to it by higher authorities. Like I said, they are just doing what they think is right and good. And in some cases are doing it as their only means to make a living. I understand the frustration involved, and I dont disagree with telling them to "F" off and leave you alone, but I cant agree with telling some lady she is a dumb sh*t and also telling her husband later that she was a dumb sh*t. That was my main beef with this story. Besides, I think I would feel much better if I could get a hold of the main man and tell him he's a dumb motherfu*ker anyway.

That works also. Just on a whole different level. /grin


That is also how I ended up with 3 Bamboo Streamers and a can of Spray-on hair.

Hey Leapwater! I hear there is a village out there missing their idiot. You sound perfect for the job. You get beni's too!


Do we have to put this in simpler terms for you? Mren is writing a story for a "creative" (usually means false or made up, fictional) writing class. He likes to try them out on us. He stated this plain as day. You must have missed it, or atleast I hope you did. No one could be that stupid to say they "read" the story, comment on it, and then knowing they are playing the part of the fool, argue it even after numerous others tried to save you the embarrasment of being a moron to let you know it was a "STORY".

Uh OH I guess I should take the time out to write a disclaimer too

I like Monkeys is not only fictional but not written bye me. I don't wanna get flamed for linking one of my favorite fictional finds.
Now before you jump to conclusions I DO punch my friends in the genitals...they love it, really...but no one would burn a dead monkey on their bed...please...you burn them in the bathtub duh...see? Completely fiction...

Plik, the first time I saw "I like monkeys" I cried from laughing so hard. I still have it saved on my computer and occasionally send it out to my friends. I'm sure they're sick of it by now, but it sill makes me giggle. hehe.

Yup, I knew you didn't write it. Sorry if anyone misunderstood me to imply you did.

Gee that's original. Suppose that was funny the first or second time it was used in the 70's. Typical coming from someone that finds if necessary to belittle someone to get their point across.

Furthermore, I didnt see any disclaimer saying it was a story. Most people use this forum for 'rants' or 'real-life' occurances. Sheesh, excuse me for having an opinion. Futhermore he responded as if it was a true story, so I responded again.

Ill let all you board dwelling nobodies continue to **** the board for your own personal use. Funny, cause I thought I paid my subscription fee too. Unfortunately I dont call this forum "home" like most of you do. Sorry to have invaded your personal space guys/gals.

I wouldn't say Katie got to me necessarily. What's gotten to me is the amount of negativity in regards to fellow posters on this forum. You have one damn comment, and you get a flock of 9 year olds, hopped up on caffeine, beer, and god knows what, beating down your post calling you names. It's silly really.

I understand that there isnt a perfect posting society anywhere, but this is just ridiculous. Besides the PvP server nazii's that think this is their own forum built just for them, and the scrubs that get off on talkin sh*t to people via posting, its damn near unbearable.

Oh well, voice of reason falling on deaf ears I guess.

Uhhmm..leap. From your original post, go UP four posts. Once there, you will see this bit of info that you overlooked in your fervor to reply to Mrens original post.(The only one you actually read in my opinion)

Perhaps the gayest ******* thing I have ever heard come out of you Leap. You honestly think, that just because you paid for this site just like others, that it exempts you from being the target of people's ire?

Christ, grow up. Katie gets quasi-flamed every day, Taco and Moe are locked in thier "who is the bigger moron" battle, Twizted has to deal with being called Twizzler, (just because I know he hates it) and you are getting po'd that katie took at shot at you?

/sigh

To qoute Mrens....
