From what I've read from you so far, and from my own experience with Christianity, I think "jerk" might be a better way to describe your orientation. Or perhaps, "troll." Whatever, just try to be nice to people. It's kind of what Jesus wants from us. When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird, shouts of welcome were heard!. 00:38, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Need to do a lot more sincere witnessing, if you want to reach the hearts and minds of us unwashed troglodytes. See Matthew 7:5 for example. Sprocket J Cogswell 01:24, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Perhaps consider leading by example, as suggested in 1 Timothy 4:12. VOX^HUMANA 02:25, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I hope you're aware

That, figuratively speaking, you've stepped into the lion's den by coming onto a rationalist wiki, announcing you're a priest, and that you find us all abhorrent. I hope you respond well to snarking. Ochotona princeps^{not a pokémon} 03:08, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Those who do His Work are never Afraid!--Tolerance (talk) 12:11, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Fear not

Those who would use scripture for their own ends are the spawn of sodomites, conceived by satan himself. I will make no use of scripture here, instead relying and the love of compassion of Jesus Christ. JustJack (talk) 10:31, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

"spawn of sodomites" REPRODUCTION DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY, GOODNIGHT! Polite Timesplitter ^{Let's move on to some other area of sodomy!} 11:47, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Humility and compassion don't work that way either, Jack. So far it appears that you are just here to stir things up. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 12:29, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

The important question

Can you do it using the scientific method? Because that's our core mission, here. Ochotona princeps^{not a pokémon} 11:49, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

But you also welcome people you Disagree with - do you not?--Tolerance (talk) 12:17, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Nobody has threatened to block JustJack. However, we run a rational, evidence-based ship here. Ochotona princeps^{not a pokémon} 12:45, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I ma glad to hear that he will be free of Persecution for his Beliefs.--Tolerance (talk) 15:09, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Before you run into further trouble

Please actually read the newcomers guide. I reverted your edit to the article on the Roman Catholic Church as it eliminated established statements with quaint platitudes. We are not an encyclopedia and we do not have Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View (NPOV). We have SPOV, where the S stands for Snarky. I recommend also reading What is a RationalWiki article?

Welcome!

I should like to Offer a Sincere Christian Welcome to this Wiki. There are many who may be convinced by God's Word.--Tolerance (talk) 11:29, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

With peace and great humility I come here, go in Christ. JustJack (talk) 12:43, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Amen Brother. I am Impressed with the Patience and Understanding you have shown these Sinners.--Tolerance (talk) 15:08, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

How do you reconcile...

Living your life inspired by the "love of compassion of Jesus Christ," which I believe is a great way to do things with calling people "the spawn of sodomites, conceived by satan himself," which displays no love or compassion for your fellow human, and in fact is just being mean? Do you see the contradiction there? When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird, shouts of welcome were heard!. 13:20, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

My faith in the love of God is absolute, however those who repel God's love and instead embrace Satan, and all of his works, are not present in his grace but instead are determined to disgust him. Sodomy, which is the most un-natural of sins, goes against Gods plan and will be punished by an eternity of pain and suffering in the fires of hell. With repentance and charitable works a sinner can redeem himself and receive the grace of God, but this will require him to embrace the Lord Jesus in his heart, and the rejection of avarice.

Prideful empty words. More tedium than Te Deum. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 14:27, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird, shouts of welcome were heard!. 14:31, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

(EC)God loves us all, but if we don't think and act exactly the way He wants us to, we spend eternity being tortured in Hell? Where do I sign up??! That sounds like a totally rational and caring god. Ochotona princeps^{not a pokémon} 14:29, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

ECEC I don't think you know what "avarice" means. Also, your fixations on anal sex and other peoples' sexual practices are both boring and irrelevant to the question of the redemptive nature of Christianity. You are nothing more than a poor parody of the worst of fundamentalists. When Roosevelt came to the land of the hummingbird, shouts of welcome were heard!. 14:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

off topic, but before the 'Good post' thing was fixed I accidentally read it as 'Godpost'. I think we need a 'God post' gif like trolltop and trollbottom to warn of posts that only make sense in the sphere of true belief. Preferably with a little yellow emoticon man smacking a bible and ranting. Polite Timesplitter ^{Let's move on to some other area of sodomy!} 14:41, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I am sorry if you expected a lovable, left wing, puppy sort of God. My God is a jealous and angry one. Despite all this, he loves us absolutely. I come here on behalf of Holy Mother Church, and I demand you repent or you will suffer for an eternity. I come here to save you from that damnation. JustJack (talk) 15:14, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

if dante is any sort of correct, hell sounds way cooler though :( --^Mikal_lakiM 15:30, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Jealous and angry, you say? There's envy and wrath for you. Sauce for goose will also serve for gander. "If there are gods, but unjust, then you should not want to worship them."

Oh, and @ Polite Timesplitter: you most likely will have seen the new template {{Godpost}} which acts like {{Trolltop}}, and may be closed with {{Godbottom}}. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 15:36, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I am glad that Mr Jack stands for a Firm, Loving but No-nonsense God prepared to show Sinners their Errors.--Tolerance (talk) 18:58, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Brings popcorn...

This is gonna be hysterical... --Llegar a las estrellas^¿Dígame? 13:54, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Where is your church?

I find myself Impressed by your Intense Spirituality. Might I be able to Attend you church?--Tolerance (talk) 15:13, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I was born in Coventry to Irish parents. I've served Gods duty in England, Ireland, Chile, South Africa and for a brief while in Canada. I am currently without a congregation pending an inquiry. JustJack (talk) 15:19, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Ah yes. Many of God's Faithful are unjustly accused. I shall pray for a Just Outcome.--Tolerance (talk) 18:55, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

At least you're not a Poe

Real Poe's have to work very hard to make sure their subtlety is at the right level in order to give pause as to whether or not they really believe the banalities that spread from their fingertips.

You stink at this, right now, but hey, consider it a learnin' experience. The next time you do this you'll be that much better. Have fun in high school. C®ackeЯ 17:35, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

If this is all it takes to get those guys worked up, I'd say it takes very little skill. Keep on truckin', JustJack. 17:59, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Dogmatic assertions

This is not an appropriate venue for such hot air. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 14:38, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

Every venue is appropriate for the utterences of our Lord and Saviour. JustJack (talk) 15:07, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

You're trolling. One way or another, that will stop. Your choice. Sprocket J Cogswell (talk) 15:49, 18 March 2013 (UTC)

I've had a week to contemplate my sins, and regret having placed that information in the public domain. True, I have struggled against my sodomy for some time and I have repented. Hopefully, with the grace of the Lord I can overcome my sin. JustJack (talk) 23:33, 22 March 2013 (UTC)
