I'm now intrigued as to which one and why you picked that one out of the tens of thousands of Gods you could have picked. There is no point in showing condolences on that thread. Those concerned are extremely unlikely to be reading through threads on Saints web forum. Stop being disgusting, why on earth would you use someone starting a thread about a dead child for point scoring. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stated an often used phrase in tragic situations like this and you've jumped on a thread about a baby dying as an opportunity to goad me on a different thread that is over two years old. Then to compond your wierd behaviour you've tried to justify it by saying no one in the family will read the thread and it isn't saints related! Its also not just me who thinks that's pretty wierd and disgusting either.

I’d say he should feel embarrassed about himself, but that’s requires being able to admit you’re wrong, and he’s far too much of an arrogant prat for that. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerx16 Posted 19 April, 2022 Share Posted 19 April, 2022 Matthew - saying 'God Bless' is a generic statement of empathy, it does not indicate in any way that the person uttering the comment has a particular belief. In similar vein, when somebody sneezes it is a common practice to respond with "Bless you". Why do you seize every opportunity to mock other people's belief systems ?

As has been covered multiple times on this topic you are very happy to dish out the "all Christians support genocide" horseshit on here but we all know you have never said any of this stuff to any actual person in real life, ever.

It's tiresome. I say by way of comment only that reference to God does not have to mean the God of the Bible. Or indeed any God, often a term of expression with people refer to something they don't understand, or necessarily believe in. The extension of that is the irony that the God of your 'understanding' is a God that you don't understand or believe in.

I’ll speak up for you MLG. Most of the people I know don’t believe in God or Jesus but they will wish others a Happy Christmas, send greeting cards, eat Turkey on 25th December, exchange gifts, wish others a Happy Easter and eat chocolate eggs. We go to carol concerts in December because we like Christmas carols and it is part of the seasonal tradition. Nothing to do with believing in the birth of the son of God. I have often share a pint of Guinness with friends on St Patrick’s Day yet none of us are Irish. The people in my local Indian wish me a Happy Christmas in December but are Muslims. It is tradition and it is what most of us do with little thought for all that goes behind it. It has absolutely nothing to do with being a liar or a hypocrite. To pretend it does is just the usual, tiresome wummery. There is no point engaging with a seasoned WUM though MLG. They drag you down to their level and beat you with experience. I can see why you started this up initially but you must know that the previous posts were just designed to wind you up and really not worth replying to. Nothing gives a WUM greater pleasure than to get a bite but perhaps getting a second bite from the same bait tops it. You have been on here long enough to know how it works. There are some people who love to stir it and will poke away just to get a reaction, and if they can instigate a pile on, their job is done. You will never win. They are not interested in reasoned argument, just the wind up and you are an easy target because you bite every time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
