bac

I just had a conversation with someone close to me.

I took the side there are several intelligent bacs, (born agains.)

She held that an intelligent bac is an oxymoron.

Yes or No?

Of all religious people, the least intelligent would have to be religiously intolerant Jews. At least Islamists have a culture of intolerance. To come to it of your own free will is...

OK...I've got a question for you dov. At some point in my life, I might become a BAC. Would that mean that I'd lose any of the intelligence I have left, or would it mean I never had any to begin with?

That is, do you think the process of becomming born again somehow brainwashes a person, or do you think that only people with minimal intelligence are attracted to that way of thinking?

On a whole, lazy people are attracted to becoming bacs, take a bath, instant redemption, redemption the majority of the world works their asses off striving toward ideals most of their lives. Work their asses off. Bacs never have to think again, and for some, thinking is work. They are told what, when, and where to think. They are given the party platform (a front for the true platform.) Trained, a few props, a book here and there, the condensed manipulated gospels some con artist came up with, about fifty years ago. A little Armageddon here, a little end of days there,and that oh so pretty Rapture, given a territory to recruit (brain wash, fresh meat) seventy five million in the states, ten percent of the worlds population are bacs. I keep my eye on them

They run the White House.

So, that means only 7 million more to go to make target.

One of the few things stopping that from being a reality is the United States' support of Israel.

Just say thank you.

I am a bac, and have been since June 75. I am an intelligent and thoughtful person.( I hope) I am tolerant of other people, and their beliefs. I accept anyone's philosophy as long as they can be objective, and tolerant of mine.

Ask me about annihilating thirteen million Jews and I'll hardly tapdance. In fact, I really don't know what you are talking about. The future you propose is nothing any BAC I know would advocate. And while bitterness about the PAST is understandable (my own ancestors survived the Trail of Tears), letting it rot your heart and soul for this long is not.

Insulting the people on this board does not mark you as very mature or enlightened.

I agree, though, the act of redemption does seem a little too easy doesn't it? Only for those looking on maybe, not for those experiencing it. I assure you that I am not the kind of person who is going to be told what to think and when. Really lazy people aren't attracted to becoming BACs, they are attracted into believing any old belief system that is thrown their way (or a lot of unproven generalities.) Not every BAC is a genius, but that is true when describing any group.

Will I watch you dance (distract, spin) or will you be forthcoming?

At the End of Days, what becomes of the Jews of the world, approximately thirteen million?

What becomes of 144,000 of those Jews?

Is the States, (run by neocons/evangelicals), support of Israel tied into, for the second coming to occur, all the Jews of the world must occupy Israel, not just the present borders of Israel, but the borders of the Biblical Israel, which includes the West Bank?

I would be embarrassed to tell the truth if I were in your shoes, of course.

I am patient.

I hope I do not have to educate you, about your own doctrine.

Thirty years, I should not have to.

Are you honest?
