Seriously, the amount of idiocy and blatant willful ignorance is astounding. They just quit fucking replying when you prove them wrong, sit back and use condescending smilies once in a while, maybe.

Drives me up the fucking wall.

Aren't you the one who refused to reply to me when I started talking about Judaism and you said my reply was irrelevant? Talk about not replying. >_>

I directly replied to you, told you it was off topic, and went about my way - then you explained how it could be relevant, which would have been a valid reason if I actually thought Christ was the Messiah, which I don't, because I think both of those books are grade-A bullshit anyway.

Oh, and yeah, you never replied to that, so.

See, that is indeed the great thing. I seldom have beef with people outside because thanks to the internet everyone seems so much more tolerable and sensible. Harmony and understanding, debate in person that isn't just self-fellating snark~

I try to recycle but I'm not perfect. If anyone is to blame it's the garbage people; they make everyone late and half the time they're tardy themselves when it comes to picking up rubbish. You wouldn't believe the size of some of those mountains of trash here.

Over here in the Netherlands, we've got special underground containers in the streets where you can deposit your glass and paper. Many stores have special bins where you can deposit your old batteries, lightbulbs and stuff like that. I know that in large parts of the USA recycling is more a buzzword than something that actually happens.

At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

As you know, I work by battery park, I have a picture of the tourists focusing on, and taking pictures of a squirrel, with the statue of liberty in the background, being completely ignored.
The West won the world not by the superiority of its ideas or values or religion … but rather by its superiority in applying organized violence. Westerners often forget this fact; non-Westerners never do.

True enough. Debate in person also isn't fond of sources.

Last couple arguments I got in IRL also resulted in physical altercations, so. Despite the anger it generates, I keep coming back here.

Regardless, not seeing how that applies, since it remained an irrelevant threadjack. I don't care whether Jesus was the savior according to Jewish prophecy. It doesn't bother me either way. Literally no opinion on the matter. You win. Feel better?

However, that time hasn't come yet.

I would say I vent here too, but with certain people's presence, my anger has started bubbling over to the point that it needs to be expressed in the real world or I'll have a fucking heart attack.

Sucks.

I'm more worried about the mods' opinions.

Jesus being the savior according to Jewish prophecy isn't related to the question "Are Catholics Christians?" The OP itself makes that necessary assumption that Christ was the Messiah.
