Well, you responded to my reply without "quoting" me. Therefore, unless I accidentally stumble across your reply to me, then I won't see it. It seems a little sneaky and under the radar to me if I can't easily see where someone has responded to a reply I made and therefore may miss the opportunity to defend my statements.

AJ asked: "With french fried potatoes, a green salad and red wine?"

With freshly baked bread (to sop up the bloody gravy) and cold beer or hot coffee (to wash it down).

I don't trust you AJ. You have yet to demonstrate to me that you possess an iota of care concerning me other than your repeated attempts to enthusiastically embrace all that I fear in another human being. As far as I can tell, my instincts concerning you have echoed 'true'.

Notifications are for pussies, Gary. Read the thread. Comment. Or: go to the Devil.

Grizzlies have fur, Gary. Now: go...you're late for your shearin'.

:roll: Henry, the "independent" thinker. Literally, it's just Henry and no one else matters. I suppose that indeed makes him an "independent" person. Not sure about the "thinker" part, though. What do you think, Henry? Or do you need to ride under, AJ's wing to actually talk to me?

Gary flailed about with: "Literally, it's just Henry and no one else matters."

Well, let's see if this claim holds water: my kid, my ma, three good friends...that's five right there who count on me and who I count on...my customers: we've got a mutally benefical thing goin'...in all: it seems a lot of folks matter to me, and I to them.

What 'upsets' you, I think, is that, obviously, clearly, 'you' don't matter to me.

But, enough, Gary. I get no pleasure kickin' cripples. So, let's leave it here.

I'm sorry for my misunderstanding, Henry. So far we have identified 5 out of over 7 billion people on Earth that "matter" to you. Are there any others besides those 5? Are you on Noah's Ark or something? Has AJ identified you as the future of humanity and given you the go-ahead to build your vessel (and stow the guns) to brave the upcoming flood of the "zombie apocalypse". The plot is getting more and more interesting between you and your buddy/ally AJ. What are your dinner plans tonight? Steak and caviar with AJ? If you run out of steak, are you going to start switching to people or go vegan?

Gary,

You wanna tussle? Nah, you really don't. So, go back to jerkin' off to underwear models or complainin' to a God you don't believe in or countin' how many mood stabilizers you have left (you know, your regular day-to-day). 'nuff said.

No. I'm not "tussling" with you, Henry. I'm trying to reason with you. I give you credit. When I gave you the scenario above, you at least refused to affirm and embrace it. When I have given AJ similar scenarios (of the dark side of humanity) he has enthusiastically embraced them as equally part of him. That makes you a better man than AJ. I suggest you keep your distance from AJ, or at the very least, don't let him spoon-feed you anything, peas nor lamb. He might be fattening you up. I would never do that to you, Henry. I have seen the dark side of reality in my visions. I would not wish that on anyone.

OK. I watched them. Thank you for the brief summary. I'm not a "Christian" but some of what was said is certainly understandable to me.

Great. That's all I was suggesting that Biggie should do. Nothing more.

But he wanted you to tell him in your own words why you believe what you believe (or perhaps why you think he should believe). You simply linked him to videos. Do you have nothing you can communicate to us regarding your experience that affirms Christianity as the one true religion that all of humanity should embrace?
