Surely I cannot be the only person who at this time of year feels a great urge to eulogise the Almighty God?

With the long winter nights drawing in and the season of Advent on the horizon.

Sorry but I'm not following. Advent, what's that exactly?

Well obviously not, there are loads of Christians about. If your asking are there any people here who have an urge to eulogise I would expect the christian members may be feeling the urge. But please feel free not to do it here, please

Apologies, I can no longer restrain myself;

Glory to Thee who has shown us the light.
Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace, goodwill to all people.
We praise you, we bless you, we worship you, we glorify you, we give thanks to you for your great glory.
Lord, King, heavenly God, Father, almighty; Lord, the onlyâ€'begotten Son, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit.
Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father who take away the sin of the world, have mercy on us, you who take away the sins of the world.
Receive our prayer, you who sit at the right hand of the Father, and have mercy on us.
For you only are holy, only you are Lord
Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father. Amen.
Each day we bless you, and we praise your name forever and to the ages of ages.

Which one?
And how can you give high praise or commendation some invisible entity that has no bearing whatsoever in our world?

Fuck you, Ned.

Quote from: "i_am_i"Fuck you, Ned.

Was that really necessary?

The same could be asked of your shitposting.

You're a Christian, we get that much.  Cool, I'm happy for you.  Si-i-i-i-nce you're a Christian, kindly take heed of your Messiah's words:

Quote from: "Matthew, in Chpt 5, vs 6-7,"5. And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites [are]: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

Can this be the first in our brand new peculiar-troll-thread?  :hmm:

I think it goes without saying (though I still have to say it) that Ned will get a warning if he posts something preachy again (assuming this time was meant in humor because it was rather silly).

In the interest of fairness, you should warn me for rudeness, too.

YOU take so long between oversteps (seen in relation to good and ok posts rather than time) that there really is little practical sense in warning you, methink

I imagine I'll sing to the dying sun, plead with it to come back, light fires to attract it, that sort of thing. I'll not bother with the whole blood sacrifice thing, though. Messy.

Oh, look! Mistletoe!

In general I only warn the person who "started it" unless things get really out of hand.

That said, I would warn I_am_I for the fuck you response before I'd warn you for telling someone they are shitposting when they are, well, shitposting.

That prayer or whatever you want to call it that Ned posted was itself a "fuck you" to the rest of us. I responded in kind. But I defer to your judgement, Whitney, and I apologize to you and only to you.

Personally I got a chuckle out of it, because Ned promised and delivered God's eulogy---that is, a formal expression of praise for someone dead.  

I thought Ned was being satirical of Christians. This guy is for real?

Actually, your god was nailed to a cross too.

Actually, my god is Les Paul, and he died of heart failure, so, yeah.

Nope. Thor is riding around the world, swinging Mjølner the Hammer, making thunder. Proof..? Lightning storms. You be a fool to deny the awesome hammer-wielding power of Thor.  :pop:

EDIT: Ever seen an old icelandic Mjølner talisman..? Looks something very much like this:

Obviously, Thor must be the Antichrist!

Not necessarily, it can just mean "High praise or commendation". (See here; http://www.thefreedictionary.com/eulogy)

Yes, of course.

So why DO you feel the need to praise your asshole deity, Ned..?
