I kinda hope that you're actually not a troll now, but instead a Christian struggling with his alcoholism. Of course, I know you're a troll, but the former would actually be amusing.

I pray 24/7.he knows.

Even while pooping? Then again, that's the only time that I pray.

Eat more fiber.

Or more chilli and Guinness.

Both work.

 

[WelshBloke]

believe what you want. but I can tell you that trips to the state store every day do not help the bank account and I try to donate that money to the church instead. I tell myself im not addicted but everynight when I go home there is that bottle of jack on the sofa or a few arrogant bastards in the fridge and it just tastes so damn cold and refreshing that its hard. but y honest woman helps me when she is around and even when I drink I am in converse with the lord.

How does donating to the church rather than buying beer help your bank account?

I really don't think that you've thought this through at all.

 

[Crono]

even when I drink I am in converse with the lord.

"And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit" - Ephesians 5:18

You can't be both drunk and conversing with the Lord, unless you are saying, "please, Lord, help me not to drink again".

I have no issue with drinking if you like to drink alcohol (there's nothing wrong with alcoholic beverages in and of themselves, but abuse can lead to destructive behavior, mostly self-destructive), but if you are getting drunk AND claiming you are a Christian AND claiming you are conversing with the LORD in said state, you are deceiving yourself. You can look at it from the perspective of scripture or just logically, but it's the truth either way.

 

[WelshBloke]

it doesn't but it quills the impulse to spend money so I feel as if I can't spend more on sangria because I already dropped 60 on a church donation. It doesn't always work bnut sometimes

Why not just spend $50 on sangria?

You come out $10 ahead and have some booze.

Like I said, you really haven't thought about this enough.

...

Are you sure that the author wasn't just more of a brandy drinker than a wine drinker?

 

[Crono]

I can talk to god while drunk. I ask him for forgivness and he always provides. when my honest woman is around we drink and pray together. She is a recovering alcoholic too but she drinks with me to support me.

I'm glad that you ask for forgiveness, and that you confess to sin, but forgiveness is not a license to sin.

"Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its lusts, and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God. For sin shall not be master over you, for you are not under law but under grace.What then? Shall we sin because we are not under law but under grace? May it never be! " - Romans 6:12-15

Continuing down the path of alcoholism is playing with death.
Again, not speaking against anyone who likes to drink occasionally, but those Christians who think it's acceptable to get drunk.
I'm only bringing this up to the OP because he said he's a Christian and still drinks.

 

[Crono]

Christians aren't supposed to get drunk?

Many of our beloved left us for their own future ...

You know, I have an idea to deal with all these "terrorish" threats. It's a bit barbaric, but, I think it might work. Hear me out.

If I was in charge of things, I'd make an announcement "The next motherfucker that blow up, maim, kill ANY of my citizen, not only you but your WHOLE VILLAGE will face the consequences of YOUR actions". And, when something happens, I'm going to find out whoever is responsible, and I'll turn that whole village/town/city into a parking lot.

Yeah, someone else will try to do some more harm to my people. Guess what? I'll repeat the turning a few more villages/towns/city into parking lots until they get it. If they don't stop? Well that's just too easy...

You know why my method works?

It's just like dealing with wild animals, you don't talk to them because they don't understand you. They only understand one thing, and, just like dealing with animals, you only have very few choices. It's kill, or be killed. You have to show the animals who IS the alpha male.

And, if you're still not convinced that I'm right, I give you exhibit A - Japan.

We'd still be fighting that war if we didn't bring out a can of whoop ass. Nothing puts a fear of God/Allah/Vishnu/Buddha/FSM/etc... into you more than the threat of total annihilation.

And, if I don't wipe you out, I'm pretty sure the people of your village/town/city that you're associated with won't want to let you live, because you'll wipe them out with your stupid ass.

See? I should rule the world.

Does the term overreaction ring a bell?

Ahhh. Good point. Forgot what thread this was.

If a mod would like to sweep all our dross into our new trolls thread and accept our apologies that would be great.

Sorry

Let me guess.

1. Jesus knows you.
2. He knows you're right.
3. He tells you everything is going to be alright.

Wrong thread guys. Let's take it to a different one.

That woman is a hero.
Notice how 99% of the people are stuck in "bystander effect"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bystander_effect

That is a misunderstanding of bystander effect. Bystander effect is not taking a meaningful action, helpful action. When you are disarmed and a guy with a knife has just beheaded somebody there is no meaningful action you can take other than run away and/or call the police while you do so.

silly? she just saw this guy cutting someone's head off and got his attention so he would concentrate on her and not start randomly attacking others.

silly? - fucking extraordinary. She's got some balls.

I strongly suspect she did this for the same reason others were walking around among this guy: they had no sense whatsoever of the personal danger they faced; they were acting ignorantly. My primary proof for this is the fact they continued to walk around like sheep in a slaughter house very close to him, not acting in a way to neutralize him.

It's possible something else will come out contradicting this, and I'm not saying she lacked courage, but I think it had a massive helping of ignorance about what really was going on. Not unusual in a situation as awful as this.
