one person's troll is another persons banter partner...

It looks, to me, that "trolls" are just other peoples non favourites.

by the internet definition of troll, we don't seem to have any. We have a few who like to rib people, but will also carry on a decent discussion when asked.

You are probably correct, but we do have 3 or 4 idiots! :) :)

You could say the same things about many historical figures. Some people have argued Alexander The Great never existed and Blackie is absolutely convinced Robin Hood existed

Of course Robin Hood existed....................who the f**k do you think the flour was named after? ;-)

Don't be so hard on yourself. You're only worth 2 idiots, not 3.

I was thinking you account for at least two! :)

Jesus was a Jew. He would have read from the Tanakh or, Old Testament.

jew (n.)

late 12c. (in plural, giwis), from Anglo-French iuw, Old French giu, from Latin Iudaeum (nominative Iudaeus), from Greek Ioudaios, from Aramaic jehudhai (Hebrew y'hudi) "Jew," from Y'hudah "Judah," literally "celebrated," name of Jacob's fourth son and of the tribe descended from him. Replaced Old English Iudeas "the Jews." Originally, "Hebrew of the kingdom of Judah."
Online Etymology Dictionary

Agree, LL. Jesus' genealogy (Matthew 1, Luke 3) includes the tribe of Judah, making Him Jewish by descent. The OT is about Him.

What's the difference between an Ashkenazi Jew, and a Sephardic Jew Motar. ? Always have been interested in that kinda stuff.

"There are several subgroups of Jews with different culture and traditions:
Ashkenazic: Descendants of Jews from France, Germany and Eastern Europe
Sephardic: Descendants of Jews from Spain, Portugal, North Africa and the Middle East
Mizrachi: Descendants of Jews from North Africa and the Middle East
Other subgroups are Yemenite, Ethiopian and Oriental"
Judaism 101: Ashkenazic and Sephardic Jews

Police say that 49-year-old Laura Reid was visiting a disabled man in his home. At one point, police say, Reid asked the victim if he believed in God, and he jokingly replied that he did not.

According to an arrest warrant, Reid became angry with his response, so she picked up his metal cane and began beating him on the head and body, hitting him so hard that the cane broke.

Police say the victim was unable to leave his home because of his disability, and Reid stayed there for three hours after the assault. When she finally left, she allegedly took the man's cell phone, keys, $50 cash and a wallet containing credit cards.

Police say the man eventually crawled to a nearby gas station, where police and EMS were called. The man was taken to St. Mary and Elizabeth Hospital, where he was treated for injuries he sustained, including a concussion, a broken arm, multiple bruises, as well as cuts and abrasions.

The victim was eventually able to cancel his credit cards -- and identify Reid, who was known to him, according to police.

A warrant was issued for Reid's arrest on Thursday, Oct. 29. She was arrested by Jefferson County Sheriff's Office deputies on Tuesday, Jan. 5, at the Hall of Justice. She is charged with second degree assault, second degree robbery, and first degree unlawful imprisonment.

Why do so many Christians believe that the poor should be punished for their poverty? Why do so many Christians believe that we should hang all of the criminals high? Why do so many Christians believe that we should all walk around armed to the teeth? Why do so many Christians believe that "What's mine is mine and HANDS OFF what is mine", Why do so many Christians believe that we should go all over the world, sword unsheathed, ready to kill any on behalf of what they have convinced themselves is God's bidding?

I guess that an awful lot of Christians are not really Christians.

Many Christians are un-Christian because they do not follow the one they claim follow? Who knows. The question implies that if you're a Christian you should never be an azzhole. Hell everyone has their moments. That's just being a human. Some of the worst jerks I've ever met were Christians. To sit back and claim that you're above making mistakes and having days when your behavior is less than perfect is just not living in reality. Christians screw up just as much as anyone else.
