Whatever happened to no one knows, other than God, what's in the heart of a person? Isn't that STILL you declaring judgment on a person for their words even when you don't know what's in their heart? "Attack? What attack? Wasn't I merely posting my opinion? Touchy much?" TLC caught you "posting your opinion" in an antagonistic manner to his opinion. If that somehow escaped you, it certainly didn't escape him- nor me. WordWolf: "I dislike people making up their own definitions for things. Ever see someone say they're a vegan but they eat meat? If someone claims to be a pacifist, I don't expect to see them starting fist-fights in the street. So, if someone claims they're a "Christian", it's expected that they believe Jesus of Nazareth is/was the CHRIST, thus the name. I mind less the person who's clear they don't believe the Bible than the person who doesn't but claims they do." Rocky: "Isn't that STILL you declaring judgment on a person for their words even when you don't know what's in their heart?" It's interesting I have to make this any simpler- as if you're being deliberately obtuse to clear points being made because you'd rather skip them and find something nearby on which to pass judgement. The person who claims the title "vegan" is using a term that has a specific meaning. If they choose to use it, I expect they will be essentially consistent with it. If a person claims they are a "pacifist", likewise. A practicing vegan may slip and eat some meat- nobody's perfect- but to just claim casually that they eat meat means they're deliberately misusing the language- they're making up their own definitions and REDEFINING words that ALREADY had a meaning. Likewise, a pacifist may find a reason to defend himself- if he feels he is forced to- but that's very different from someone looking to start physical fights. For someone to be that sort of person- which they can be, for all I care- but to claim the OPPOSITE, I object to that. "Isn't that STILL you declaring judgment on a person for their words even when you don't know what's in their heart?" I can only go by the words people speak, and the actions that they take, and what those tell me. If they're in conflict, that tells me something. If someone claims to be a pacifist, but seeks violence, that says something. If someone claims only to have a curiosity, but focuses it only on accusatory questions, that says something. And we all- yourself included- live our everyday lives doing exactly this, even if you feel like claiming otherwise. If you see a man running down the street, screaming, with a foaming mouth, and carrying a bloody knife, you don't know what's in his heart, either. However, you're certainly going to draw some conclusions based on his actions. Now, it's mathematically possible that this man's mouth is foaming because he overdid his Alka-Seltzer, it's possible he's screaming because someone stomped his foot wearing heavy boots, and it's possible he's got a bloody knife because he was working in a restaurant kitchen when he overdid his Alka-Seltzer and a deliveryman in boots stomped his foot. Anyone with an ounce of sense- and self-preservation- is going to stay clear of him and hide or remove themselves from where he is, and maybe call the police. The philosopher who decides to approach him, refuse to "declare judgement on a person" - as you put it- and tries to find out what's in his heart becomes another statistic in the murder stats of the day. What a noble thing he did! He didn't know what was in the man's heart, so he went to find out..... no,. what an idiot! And anyone who needs me to explain why that's idiotic won't understand the answer, or why the rest of us have little patience with sophistry. So, WordWolf, are you saying you have an opinion about Kristin du Mez' testimony? If so, why not just post it in terms of what your response is to her words? I have no opinion on her testimony. I don't remember the last time I've actually opened one of your video links. I open few of them on the GSC in general, and yours even less. I find that posting a link with little or no indication as to WHY it's posted looks like homework. I'm not sifting through 15 minutes or more of video just because someone else wanted me to. This is a DISCUSSION board, so I expect DISCUSSION, and if a video is posted, I don't just click on it devoid of DISCUSSION. "Fine, you don't like it. Fine, you "mind less..." but how does that impact what you believe your responsibility as a Christian would be to such people? Whether it's apparent incongruity about their salvation or anything else? I mean, come on... I'm not judging you. I'm just asking you to judge your words and your actions." I mind less people who judge me and are upfront about it than people who claim they don't, while they judge me in the process. You should have gotten that by now, it was simple enough to extrapolate from the other posts.

Just to clarify, what I meant by "basis in reality"... I dislike people making up their own definitions for things. Ever see someone say they're a vegan but they eat meat? If someone claims to be a pacifist, I don't expect to see them starting fist-fights in the street. So, if someone claims they're a "Christian", it's expected that they believe Jesus of Nazareth is/was the CHRIST, thus the name. I mind less the person who's clear they don't believe the Bible than the person who doesn't but claims they do.

One thing I've noticed, TLC, is people claiming they're Christian without any real basis in reality. I saw someone claim outright they didn't believe in the Bible AND didn't believe Jesus is/was the Christ/Messiah. I mean, it's right in the name! So, I brought that up, and someone came in loudly, saying they didn't need to justify their claim despite having their own definition for Christian. Hasn't happened often to me (that I've noticed), but it has happened.

"MY GENERATION," the Who.

That's him. About 1/2 the roles I listed were from SNL and about 1/2 were from different movies.

I've definitely heard the song before, but I can't remember anything but the title with its music. Obviously there was a whole song with that line, but I have no memory of the rest of it. Oh, well.

The title, which you posted (more or less), is "They're Coming To Take Me Away". Courtesy of Napoleon the 14th. Your turn.

"Remem-ber- when you ran- away and I- got on- my knees- and begged- you not- to leave- because- I'd go= berZERK?"

Was this "Bozo" or "the Howdy Doody Show"?????

Offering a sign of peace?

I would have. At that hour, I'm usually not carrying change in my pockets. During the day, I don't carry much change, and it generally isn't US coinage, obviously.

"Down on the Corner." At the moment, I don't actually have a nickel in my pocket, for reasons that should be obvious in hindsight. :)

I think I'd have recognized it if I knew this song, so I'm confident now that I don't know it at all.

You were all over the map there, but I'll count this as correct. The second one had the girl, Newt. She's the "her" in the line. She survived initial attacks that wiped out her colony.

Didn't mean to leave this hanging. Yes, that is correct. BTW, the unfinished sentence at the end was obviously going to be "Gentlemen, this will be the day you will always remember as the day you ALMOST caught Jack Sparrow" but events in the scene interrupted the line.

"Get away from her, you b!tch!"

"I'm just mad about Saffron."

"ANIMAL HOUSE!" And I still haven't seen the entire movie. But I've seen the ending several times with the parade....

That's pretty much the same principle we see in effect when Gideon's discussed. He overthrew Baal's altar, and when people protested, he complained that BAAL should protest, since BAAL is the one who was offended. So, Gideon got the nickname "Jerubbaal", "Contender with Baal." Much later, Gideon was referred to as "Jerubbesheth", or "Contender with Idols." Rather than continue to give Baal free press, the nickname was changed to refer to idols, still referencing the same incident.

My usual rule-of-thumb is "Would people who've never seen this movie recognize the quote? " That's especially helpful for me, since I see so few movies.. Naturally, that's not a thread-wide rule, but it helps me stop from posting quotes from niche movies nobody here's heard of, let alone seen.

Sounds vaguely familiar, but nothing's coming to mind.

"Fly Like an Eagle". (Steve Miller Band, I think, although the band name is not required.)
