Keep the sympathy coming PLEEEEZE… and I wonder why I’m pretty much schizoid all the time…
He only does this because I’m pro-choice.
Why he pushes my buttons, I have no idea… it’s liket the little kid that tries to tease the sleeping dog and then goes bitching to his parents when the dog bites him. That is Christopher in a nutshell. 
Christopher the Pyro remarked
Hey.. I didn’t create this graphic planned parenthood did an orginization you support!

So very tasteless!! Don’t try to pin that on liberals!!!
Christine the Lioness uttered
Yes, Christopher is tasteless… come on, Crystal… don’t be surprised. You must have figured that out from reading his other posts and comments.
Christopher the Pyro remarked
Hey I don’t support killing babbies this is Christine’s department, I guess I’ve realized I need to campaign on the going to heaven thing because she isn’t fit either! Killing off babies is strictly a liberal pastime.
Christopher the Pyro pontificated
Katie, I know your not the one… I’m the one! 
Katie the Mercenary spake, and sayeth
hmm maybe i should go back and change my vote?? NOT lol christopher your no angel lol im sure of that lol but you are funny
Ben the Kingpin got all philosophical
I was pro-Choice until I read the statistics that Planned Parenthood put out and realized all their reasons didn’t match any of their numbers and all their numbers matched everything that most pro-Choicers would say justify placing huge limitations on abortion.
Christine the Lioness up'n wrote this
This is Christopher’s desperate attempt to try to find reasons I won’t go to heaven… he was very upset that he lost so miserably in our poll. He thinks he is pulling out the big guns… LOL!
Every time I say that something happened because God wanted it to, he makes fun of me to no end… so maybe he should start there… just a thought. 
Katie the Mercenary asserted
yup christopher god sees all lol
Ben the Kingpin chimed in with
I had something happen today because (I firmly believe) God was protecting me from something else that was much worse. I had a flat tire. I was annoyed and tired. I fixed it. Then I drove home–and right past a huge accident that would have happened about the time I was driving through.
Ben the Kingpin said this
By the way, Katie, if Chris would fix my two different email addresses for posts, I’d\’ve completely passed you up in post-count already. 
Christopher the Pyro mentioned
lol.. Ben, I’ve been pondering that very issue.. hehe.. I’m not quite sure how ot fix it other then to go thru and all 30 some!
Christine the Lioness uttered
I didn’t think there were two Bens… LOL!
Christine the Lioness asserted
Ben… regarding your comment 14… I’ve had similar incidents happen that I can very certainly attribute to a greater power preventing me from getting into a situation where something very, very bad could have happened to me. I think those things are undeniable… my dad had a similar experience when he was driving. He was with a friend and my dad kept telling the driver to pull over because he thought they were lost… my dad never gets lost… he has the best sense of direction I’ve ever seen… but they were on a country road at night and he kept telling the guy that he should just pull over. Finally, the guy did and my dad got out, looked around, figured he knew where he was and got back in the car. The next intersection they reached (which was still a mile or so away) they got there right after a fatality accident… a driver had run the red light going the other direction and the car that passed them a ways back was hit. If they hadn’t stopped, it could have been them. Christopher sees those things as coincidence, but I believe it is all part of God’s plan.
Ben the Kingpin stated
“Coincidence” is just another word for “a miracle of God.”
Christopher the Pyro up'n wrote this
See I contribute that to shit luck… I’ve had both.. where stupid shit happens and good things result and stupid shit happens and bad things result, we tend to only remember the good ones, because they seem remarkable but if you would have gotten a flat and nothing special happend u wouldn’t have noticed. *shrug* Just your mind playing tricks oh ya…
Not saying that this isn’t gods plan but simply if God doesn’t want you to die he doesn’t need you to have a flat.
Ben the Kingpin hunt n' pecked this
Regarding your post #17: There can be only one! 
Christopher the Pyro chimed in with
or Coincidence is another word for luck, happenstane, or just how things are.
Ben the Kingpin stated
As a historian (I can’t believe someone actually referred to me as a “historian” recently, but I like the monicker, so I’ll keep it
), I notice that history is rife with evidence that coincidence is nothing of the sort. Only the blind or delusional could examine history and not see the hand of God everywhere.
I once argued with an atheist and we agreed that he would believe in God if I would pray that God would “feed the Ethiopians.” So, I prayed for it. We documented the time and date. The next day, we found an AP article that at the same time that I prayed, fish rained from the sky onto the crop lands of Ethiopia. They ate some of the fish and used others to fertilize the crops–which ended up growing more food than they usually did.
When I showed him this evidence he said, “Oh, that’s just a coincidence.”
“Of course it is,” I said. “But ‘coincidence’ is just another word for ‘miracle of God’.” 
Christopher the Pyro asserted
I’m not sure you could win that argument with me, while I wouldn’t suggest I’m anything remotely close to a historian, I would suggest that I don’t see God influencing day to day life a whole lot. I mean.. it seems to me.. if your going to look at it that way then we have a pretty vengeful God.. while there is no shortage of amazing and good things that happen, there is also no shortage of fucked up horrible things that happen each day.
Christine the Lioness uttered
That’s true, but it’s also how you look at things… Ben could have seen the flat tire as being ‘bad luck,’ or even as God punishing him for no reason… but he happened to see the accident that he missed and realized the connection. How many things do you think happen every day that we don’t get to see the aftermath of, so we never realize their implications? I truly believe that even when horrible things happen… they happen for a reason, even if we don’t always see that reason. How could we possibly? To think that we should be able to, or even entitled to, means you don’t understand how little our understanding really is as human beings. Okay… that’s my 2 cents. 
Haas the Addict uttered
Not funny Christopher… you can do much better
Christopher the Pyro chimed in with
Haas.. ok I’ll do better next time I promise.. I’ve got one that will make you laugh your ass off.. and one that will probably offend you more then this one.. but hey.. what can ya do. 
Christopher the Pyro said this
In reference to Christine’s comment #25.. Humans are sooo stuck on themselves to think God actually gives a fuck.. talk about being insecure.
Ben the Kingpin hunt n' pecked this
Deuteronomy 32:35 To me belongeth vengeance, and recompence;
Psalms 94:1 O LORD God, to whom vengeance belongeth; O God, to whom vengeance belongeth, shew thyself.
Psalms 149:7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
Isaiah 34:8 For it is the day of the LORD?S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Zion.
Romans 12:19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord.
Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming fire.
So, Christopher, I would say that I definitely worship a “vengeful God”. It’s His job to be vengeful upon those who slander His name and disobey his Laws. As the Creator, it’s His right to make those demands. Just as it’s your right to make the rules in the worlds that you create.
(Not to mention your responsibility to “render unto God that which is His” since you are His creation. 
The fact that you suck your next breath shows the depth of his compassion and mercy in giving you yet another moment of life to repent of your ways and return to honor and glorify Him.
Christopher the Pyro penned this
Don’t worry.. I suffered God’s vengeful wrath today for my blasphmy, as soon as I recover enough I will post. 
Ben the Kingpin pontificated
Chris, I’ve tried the avatar thing–no email ever gets through to me. I’ve also tried using the smiley with the hand going up and down (6th from the left) and it does the 3rd from the left instead. Just FYI.

Christopher the Pyro added
hehe…
Ok.. now yoru using something different then the gravatars.. hrmm… u can email me (christopher@chrisvschris.com) with whatever you want it to be and i’ll try and set it up for ya… you did go to the website i sent you right? Sometimes it takes a little while to set up.
Christopher the Pyro uttered
I fixed ya now tho, or I fixed the image, hehe - you can still email me a different 40 x 40 image if u want a more custom one.

There we go it was my bad. By the way everybody who isn’t using a gravatar (from gravatar.com) and wants a custom picture just email them to me christopher@chrisvschris.com and I’ll upload them into the system.

HRMMMMMM until u actually try it.
Thanks for the help on the debugging guys… must be a bug in the code 
Ben the Kingpin quibbed this
Chris,
I think it’s parsing the “: d” part of the smiley before it gets to the ending slash.
That’s why the
has a slash after it.
By the way, I think I’ll just stay at this post count for a bit… 
Christine 2 the Mercenary chimed in with

Ben the Kingpin remarked
See? It still doesn’t work. : d / =
/ (it ignores the first slash, parses the colon and small-d then it prints the last slash)

I know. Christopher’s off doing something this weekend (I’m never allowed to ask him what he did or where he was… If I do ask, I get an “It’s none of your business” ) so I have no idea when he’ll be back. But I’m sure he’ll get around to fixing it sooner or later. If I knew how to fix it, I would… 
Christopher the Pyro mentioned
ok.. the the questions is.. WHY does it do that..
I’m off doing something this weekend? Hrmm.. lets see.. I spent the morning fixing computers at my companies factory.. and yesterday I beat Christine’s boney ass at raquetball.. and lets not get things twisted, Christine informed me that she was busy all weekend.. *sigh* women.. never happy
