Just because I have given it to you though, doesn't mean it will do you any good. To become a "benefit" , as you say... it must be accompanied by "rational thought". Always. If left unattended by thought, it will just revert to "fear". You don't need more of that.
and I really appreciate you're giving me the benefit of the doubt.Always. 😵

I had almost given up on you ever understanding. I'm glad you finally get it. In the future though, you will have to learn to generate your own "doubt". Others can do it on occasion, but to be really effective... it must come from within.
Originally posted by Coach PreYou are right. I gave him the great gift of "doubt", and he gave me nothing. What kind of a coach are you anyway? Syccophantic Supplications? That sounds about right.😉 Assuming the "Pre" stands for "Preacher" of course.😵
I'm not a wrestling coach, but I must say that Ivanhoe executed a great slam in a nice way.

"Fear? Never. Punishment? Not for conscious beings. Gods law? Law of the land? Irrelevent when your moral mind controls your actions."

Yes, sir !! 😵
Originally posted by ivanhoeAnd your point would be? Should you EVER decide to get one? As I just stated... If you don't handle your doubts with "rational thought" it will turn to fear. So... "Fear? Never." Assuming you learn to think rationally. Good luck. As to you having no fear... just add it to a long list of your "deficiencies".😀

Post Script... Ivan... Please learn to recognize biting sarcasm when appropriate. I realize you can't be rational. That is the point of making fun of you. Here is a sample of sarcasm... I am glad you have something besides silliness in that head of yours.

You're too kind for this world, StarValleyWy. 😵
Originally posted by ivanhoeMake you a deal. In future lets ignore each other completely. Including posts. Neither of us will respond to Threads Created by... or posts made by the other. This can't be pleasant for other people in the forums. Can we agree that we don't like each other and just make an end? I will if you will. If you respond Yes... we will never have to treat with each other again. That's a good deal for both of us, i think.
... and I admire your being so consistent 😵

I'm starting to like you, StarValleyWy.
Now don't be a killjoy.
Originally posted by ivanhoeWell... you can't even be decent enough to make a deal. Why am I not surprised. How about if I am even more direct? You and I just should never speak. Too different. I have stated twice, in other threads... "I really don't like you IvanH."... How about... "All kidding aside... and stop with your stupid smiley faces already... I Really, really, really... don't like you Ivan. I never did and never will. And there is no humor in you. Or me when referring to you."
Now don't be a killjoy, StarValleyWy 😵
And stop with the coyness already. You don't like me as much (or more) than I don't like you.
Are you sure you won't reconsider? All it takes is a "Yes" from you.
And I don't appreciate being threatened twice in a row... I know you think the little smiley hides your threat... but "Too kind for this world" and "kill" in two consecutive posts? Be a good christian and make a non aggression pact. Ok?
Originally posted by StarValleyWyWell, I'll stop teasing you now and in the future I'll only do it if it is absolutely necessary !

You're so human, StarValleyWhy.
Originally posted by ivanhoeI thought as much. Let none doubt in future that we are enemies. So be it. And you are a very excellent example of what is wrong with religion. Vindictive bastard.
You've read my previous post and that's what I'm going to do.
I consider this to be fair enough.
By the way... When someone has notified you that they don't like you, and you continue to bother that person, it isn't "teasing"... it's harrassment. Why did I pick you as a stalker right from the first post of yours that i read? Good instincts, i guess. That is why i instantly didn't like you. You are stamped from the same mould as my dad, just a different version. He was/is a good stalker too.
