Freeper calls my co-worker a fornicator

[kick-ass-bob]

after he said that he lived with his girlfriend.

Wife of freeper says, "oh John, not you, no..."

I wasn't in the room - or I would have said - well, so did I, you dumb fuck! (as well as some other choice words)

Get your judging ass on up to "heaven" so us "fornicators" can just enjoy life. Where the hell is the rapture when you need it?

:grr:

[Straight Shooter]

1. Does freeper have sex with his wife for reproduction or sexual pleasure?

If it's merely for sexual pleasure, he's a sinner. One must be completely pure in flesh, or surely the rotting of the spirit will commence. /sarcasm off

[Left Is Write]

2. That kind of self-righteousness pisses me off.

Just like this so-called "friend" of mine: She saw me in church, eight months pregnant (eighteen years ago, and I was single), and said, "I wasn't aware you had gotten married." I said I hadn't. She wrinkled up her nose in disgust and said primly, "If you're having a bastard, I'm afraid I can't offer you congratulations."

Yeah. Hypocrite. The only differences between her and me were that I only slept with ONE guy and my contraception failed.

[LDS Jock]

4. did you slap her?

The nerve of some people!

[FizzFuzz]

8. geez! You should have said that to her pious little face!!!

oh well, hindsight, ya know. Usually, when it actually happens, it's so shocking--the fatheaded rudeness, I mean--that ya can't think of anything to say at all!


I can't stand these people.

[kick-ass-bob]

9. Should have said

would you rather I had an abortion?

[TXlib]

14. My response would have been

"The only bastard here is the one standing in front of me."

[rasputin1952]

17. That reminds me of a friend of mine who's father was killed in a semi

accident. The truck had rolled over after leaving the road, and he was killed instantly in CA. He went to the funeral, then returned to AZ to get back to work. He had had a rocky relationship with his father, and it haunted him that he didn't have the chance to clear things up before the untimely death.

He went to his church, and after one of the services, asked the preacher about his father's possible fate after the death. The preacher asked if his father had "found and accepted Christ as his Savior". My friend answered he didn't know the answer to that.

The preacher then said, "I am sorry to tell you your father is most likely burning in hell at this moment". My friend quit work three days later, and we never saw him again...:) So much for this particular "christian" preacher. I saw him a few months later in one of the local stores, and gave him a vociferous piece of my mind, and explained to him in no uncertain terms, that hypocrites were pretty well guaranteed a place in the hell he spoke of, regardless of the title they hold in the religious community.

I am sorry to hear you had to go through what you did at the hands of a fool. Too bad her judgmental attitude was merely a cover-up for her own foolish behavior in her life. Apparently, up to that point, she never had learned that love and compassion; understanding and empathy; are core points of Christianity....:)

[skypilot]

54. So, simply NOT KNOWING...

...whether or not a family member has been "saved" is enough to damn them to hell. Is that what I'm to understand?

[rasputin1952]

63. In essence, that is what this preacher was saying.....

I DO NOT agree with him; as far as I'm concerned, he was a buffoon and a fool.

[Modem Butterfly]

18. How did she know what kind of person your kid would grow up to be?

Sort of presumptious on her part, isn't it?

:evilgrin:

[Fenris]

31. "Bastards" are nothing to be ashamed of.

A "bastard" conquered England.:)

[ContraBass Black]

41. Had this person been male,

My response would have been something along the lines of, "well, I wouldn't have congratulated your mother either," before I regained my self control and simply turned away.

[LDS Jock]

3. I HATE the holier-than-thou attitude

Matthew 7:3
"And why do you look at the splinter in your brother's eye, and not notice the beam which is in your own eye?"

[kick-ass-bob]

5. Ooh - that's good.

I was going to try to find some kind of Bible reference to send him back to his hole.

[xchrom]

6. the litany of cuss words that would have flowed

from my lips would have given truck drivers pause.:evilgrin:
just to make sure i was not misunderstood --- wouldn't want to have that.

[kick-ass-bob]

10. That's exactly what would have happened if I was there.

It would not be pretty.

Motherfucker. :grr:

[johnnie]

7. It's funny that they have no problem judging people

Judge not...ect. It's almost human nature to "judge" a little, but for the "holier than thou" types, they seem to live for it.

[SarahB]

11. Nothing wrong with fornication.

It's marital sex that's overrated.

[The Backlash Cometh]

12. Keyrist. On the right-wing side of our family,

We have two kids who were conceived out of wedlock. Only one of them married. The other one we suspect is a lesbian.

And yet, each time I'm with them, they piss and moan about the immorality of minorities, the Democrats and oh, how good a private school upbringing is.

[sniffa]

13. fornicate off

:P

[kick-ass-bob]

15. oh, shit. I think I found my next "conversation" with him.

Casually bring up that I lived with my wife-to-be before we were married. He spouts the same crap, and I respond with

(deadpan) Fornicate off.

Thanks sniffa!!!

[Modem Butterfly]

16. I had an idiot say something like that to me once

She was a co-worker and asked if Will and I are married. I said no, and she asked if we lived together. I said yes, and she said, "Oh, so you advocate for that kind of lifestyle?" and I said, "I'm not an advocate for anything, but living with your sweetie kind of sells itself, don't you think?" She didn't know whether to shit or go blind. Later she was laid off and about three weeks after that she called to tell me she was pregnant and to ask if she could add her baby to her COBRA benefits, since she wasn't married and the father had no interest in putting his baby on his bennies.

Nice.

[TXlib]

21. LOL!

She didn't know whether to shit or go blind.

LMFAO!

I've not heard that before, but I assume it describes an apoplectic fit.

[jswordy]

19. Uh, according to the King James Bible online dictionary...

...here is what it means!

FORNICATOR

FORN'ICATOR, n.

1. An unmarried person, male or female, who has criminal conversation with the other sex; also, a married man who has sexual commerce with an unmarried woman. See Adultery.

2. A lewd person.

3. An idolater.

"Always remember, when you point the finger, four of them are pointing back at you." -- Floyd Hand, Lakota spiritual leader

[kick-ass-bob]

20. what is a "criminal conversation?" n/t

[Bunny]

22. Sounds kinda intriguing, doesn't it?

;)

[jswordy]

28. I think the root of it is here, Bob...enjoy...

http://av1611.com/kjbp/kjv-dictionary/crime.html

[bobbobbins]

25. actually i think only 3 would be pointing back at me

[jswordy]

40. Depends on how you hold your thumb when you point.

[ContraBass Black]

44. Can you show me how to point and have the thumb pointing at me?

Souneds interesting.

[Liberal In Texas]

23. I would say that I'm a fornicator and damn proud of it...better than

being a sexually uptight, rigid, moralist who can't manage to get it up any more.

B-)

[Modem Butterfly]

24. Will and I aren't married, but we've lived together for 10 years

I absolutely love nothing more than getting grilled by someone who thinks that our relationship is somehow their business. "When are you two getting married?" "Why haven't you two gotten married?" "Do you have an open relationship or something?"

My boss of three years is an Evangelical Xian, but not the evil kind. She keeps a Bible in her office and occasionally talks about her church activities (which are numerous- she goes four or five times a week!), and she very occasionally shares her faith. I know she's a religious lady, she knows I'm an atheist living in sin, and yet she somehow restrains herself from asking any questions or making any comments. Once, when Will sent me some flowers, she said, "I wish you two would get married," I told her if we ever did, we'd have her conduct the ceremony. She seemed to like that.

[sniffa]

26. i've been shacking up for years

and i don't think i've heard anyone comment on it. :shrug:

[Kathy in Cambridge]

42. That's bec. you live in heathen Mass-where people mind their own business

ironically, MA has the lowest divorce rate. And lowest teenage pregnancy rate. Seems those moral value red states have a harder time practicing what they preach.

[LDS Jock]

53. sinner! fornicator!

[Bouncy Ball]

27. Heh heh

I'd be so tempted to say "Yeah, I was. I was a MAJOR fornicator. In fact, I thought it was quite fun! I feel so sorry for people who don't know the sheer pleasure of being major-league fornicators. In fact, um....I have to go home now."

[kick-ass-bob]

29. my coworker was so caught off guard

he didn't even connect "fornicator" with fornication.

He just said, "yeah, I guess so"

:)

[sniffa]

30. i reccomend going in the crazy direction

go wiLd eyed and start taLking about fornication... maybe touch yourseLf... ask about his/her wife/husband and if they'd Like to spice up their marriage.

[kick-ass-bob]

32. he and wife were both there

that would have been good.

I can see her now, fainting at the thought!

[sniffa]

33. if you reaLLy need to up the ante

bring their kids into the equation... if that's too far, then toys and asking one to fiLm. pick the guy though - that shouLd be more faint worthy.

[loudestchick]

34. *tears rolling down cheeks* Stop! Stop! LOL

[UdoKier]

35. Fornicator - Republican

Fornicator - Republican
Fornicator - Republican
Fornicator - Republican
Fornicator - Republican
Fornicator - Republican

Which is the foulest insult? Why, republican, of course. Call them "republican" in a voice dripping with scorn.

[DainBramaged]

36. HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT

Tell your manager that the named employee has created a hostile work environment with his/her religious proclamations. That will get them shut up real fast and put the boss on notice that they are liable for damager. Tell them your productivity is being affected.

[Xithras]

37. Quick question - Why does it matter to you?

So many people seem to have a bizarre need for "approval" from Freepers. Does it really matter to you, even a little, that the moron disagrees with your lifestyle? Are you harmed by the fact that he thinks it's wrong for you to live with your girlfriend? I'd think it was wrong for you to live with your girlfriend too if your girlfriend were my daughter, but if my opinion is incapable of changing the situation, what harm is done by it? Why would you take offense?

Personally, I don't take offense when stupid ideas flow from idiots. As a married bisexual man, I frequently hear "OH MY GOD, YOU'RE GAY!" from fundie types who assumed that I was straight when they learned that I was married. My standard response is "No, I'm only half-gay". There is rarely any conversation beyond that.

The one time I did have a fundie woman go off on be for being bi, a "fornicator", and an "adulterer", and that our "kind of people" should be eradicated. I simply recited the words of Jesus himself back to her: "He that is without sin among you, let him cast the first stone". Not expecting a Biblical comeback, she shut up and scurried off back to whatever rathole she crawled out of.

There is no cure for idiocy. Just ignore them.

[lady lib]

38. Good points, Xithras

This is another example of cherry picking the Bible since so many of these judgmental "Christians" ignore Christ's admonition against divorce. Matthew 19 verse 9 Jesus replied, "I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, and marries another woman commits adultery."

[kick-ass-bob]

39. Approval??? I have no problem with him disagreeing. I don't like it

when people tell me what to do. Or that I'm going to hell because I don't think the way they do. In your example, you did not ignore them either.

what's the diff, here?

(and it wasn't me)

[Xithras]

46. The diff is that you care

Look at your original message, and the replies of most of the posters here. I see anger, bitterness, and calls for vengeance.

When a small child spills his milk, should the parent get mad and scream at him? No, because he doesn't know any better and can't help himself. When an autistic person accidentally knocks over an expensive 150 year old vase, should we cry for vengeance? No, because we understand that autistics are incapable of fine motor control. The same goes for fundie/freeper types. They are incapable of having rational, open-minded thought processes, and to grow angry at them for simply repeating the same drivel that they have heard all of their lives is pointless and silly.

Oh, and if you reread your own original post, you'll notice that the fundie never told your friend what to do. He simply expressed his feelings about the situation. Idiotic drivel from an idiot. Live with it, ignore it, and quit caring so dang much what the Freepers think about you.

[kick-ass-bob]

47. He/they can think what they want.

No one asked for his input, and it wasn't welcome.
If he had called my black coworker a n*, I should just ignore him?
He needs to keep his mouth shut - and if no one tells him to shut his mouth, he never will, thinking it's OK to spout what he spouts (as he has been doing since - probably forever.

His kind of talk is not welcome in the workplace, nor should it be accepted.

[Left Is Write]

48. He was venting, as were many of us responding.

What better place to vent than among those who will understand and commiserate?

[dhinojosa]

59. If it doesn't matter, why are you posting?

or why were intrigued to read this post in the first place?

Not being confrontational, just wondering. You bring up some good points, but I think it does matter to you, greatly. You make an effort to trap the idiots at their own biblical game.

That's good.

Keep on fornicatin'!!

52. damn right.

I need to pick up on my alchemy and galvanism, though. I've totally slacked off on reanimating corpses in recent months.

51. The Rapture can't come soon enough for this gal

Unfortunately the Rapture isn't technically in the bible - go figure

[yellowcanine]

56. Someone needs to clue her in that fornicating is - premarital and

extramarital - is just as common among born-again types as the rest of the population. It is a fact. Just look at the divorce rate - an indirect indicator of extramarital screwing - if you are in any doubt.

[dhinojosa]

57. Is this lady divorced?

Is so, she lied to God the first time. Living with your girlfriend at will still get you into heaven. :)

[dhinojosa]

58. or a divorcee'?

[hunter]

60. How come nobody ever calls me cool stuff like that?

The worst I've ever heard was "You, you, LIBERALS..." like it was the ultimate slander.

My wife has a terribly quick toungue -- I've seen her eviscerate people for saying inappropriate stuff like this.

If I'd been in your co-worker's situation I probably would have laughed, or maybe stood there in sunned silence like I'd just witnessed a swarm of bees flying out of the person's mouth.

If I'd been John and I had my wits together quick enough I'd say something totally deadpan:

"Oh no, no, dear. We're not fornicators. We only sleep together."

It would be so funny watching them try to wrap their heads around that.

[kick-ass-bob]

61. kick for the night crew...

[davsand]

62. Since they know everything send them this letter with a few questions:

Dear Freeper couple,

Thank you for doing so much to educate me regarding God's law. I have learned a great deal from you, and I'll try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev. 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. How should I deal with this?

I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as it suggests in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev. 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

Lev. 25:44 states that I may buy slaves from the nations that are around us. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans but not Canadians. Can you clarify?

I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination (Lev. 10:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

Lev. 20:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding me that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Sincerely,

Your name here


I loathe sanctimonious people like that.
