Oh yeah, right. Easy for you to say Ms. Pollard. The pressure's off you now and you can just sit propped up in bed eating bonbons watching the rest of us turn and rend each other in an unedifying display of non-Christian cut-throat competitiveness.

Except Chorister of course. She'll just nice us to death.

Well good luck to y'all. [Biased]

Oh for goodness’ sake, Leonardo. How can I convince you that the ‘Da Vinci Code’ is a novel, the story is not true! It was written as a thriller and was not meant to be taken seriously. So I cannot agree with you that it will turn the whole of Christianity upside down. And there is certainly no need to reply to every single post to assert your belief that because of it we must all burn our Bibles and history books. [Roll Eyes]

Quite frankly, I’m getting rather fed up of the discussion now it has been strung out for several weeks. The discussion on surefish has already reached 9 pages and now I see you have brought it up as a subject on explorefaith as well. Talk about a flooding of the boards!

Whilst I enjoyed the ‘Da Vinci Code’ very much as a ripping good yarn, I hardly think it warrants such a prominent place in Purgatory, and if you, Magdalene, and others like you insist on wanting to discuss its relevance to Christianity further, I suggest that it be sent to Dead Horses, where you can flog your point of view to death while we get on with the business of discussing matters of much more realistic relevance to Christianity.

Memorandum: Reference No. 742QB1

Priority: Routine
Classification: Top Secret
For the Attention of: Administrators
Originating Operator: Field Agent K**ig**df**h (Deep Undercover, Identity Supressed)

Subject: Status of Liveliness of Equine Breeds

Further to my previous report I have infiltrated a number of threads that smell suspiciously like dogfood.

Subject Identification

The common theme of these so called "discussions" has been whether we have free will or whether our lives are predetermined. Code words like "Calvinism, TULIP, Arminianism, Predetermination and ITTWACW*" litter these threads. As do such comments as "So God wants me to go to Hell and there's nothing I can do!?" and "So God is powerless to do anything, then?"

A Summary of the Evidence for the Demise of this Horse

The Subject Appears on Other Christian Websites
I have personally infiltrated a number of other sites**. This subject is not only present, it threatens to sink many of the sites.
DH Rating = 10.00

Polarised Opinions
Analysis of the posting trends and patterns makes it quite clear that there is a definite entrenchment of belief. The citizens referred to as Calvinists outright refuse to be dissuaded from their belief in predestination, chosing instead to believe that they are right. The citizens referred to as Arminians or Free Willies appear to have been foreordained to believe that they control their own destiny.
Each party believes that their veiw leads to a superior approach to life, evangelism, counselling and worship.
DH Rating = 9.52

The Annoyance Factor
There appears to be continued resurgence of this discussion. It appears regularly in the Purgatorial zone, and also in Hell (usually as a tangent in a Librul vs Fundy scrap, sometimes as a Hellish extension of the Purgatorial Debate.)

Typically the Purgatory thread gets deleted after a few days of inactivity and someone posts a new one the next day saying "We haven't discussed 'why belief in free will doesn't make God such a bastard' for a while. Here's a new angle..." and then they repeat all that they said on the last thread, providing nothing new at all.

Naturally, due to my deep undercover position I have had to estimate the annoyance factor rather than ask the hosts outright.
DH Rating = 8.20 (estimated based on extrapolation of historical data)

Conclusion
The total DH Rating was calculated as 27.72 out of a possible 30.00. As it is usual practice to highlight subjects with a rating higher than 25.00 I am submitting this recommendation.

* Admittedly this Acronym appears on thread on most topics.
** Pursuant to the mental health clause of my contract for espionage services, I must advise you that I suffered considerable emotional trauma when viewing these other sites and will be seeking professional help. I will provide receipts for reimbursement accordingly.

If God exists (and I'd like your thoughts on this) does He watch and disapprove when unmarried people have sex? Or does he just watch and disapprove when Christian unmarried people have sex and not worry about heathens who have never been exposed to Christianity, because they can't be expected to know that it is wrong. That is, if there is a God, does "not knowing Him" relieve one of the worry that He is watching? What about gay heathens who have not been exposed to Christianity but have sex? Would that be enough to warrant Godly intervention?

In a nutshell, I guess I'm asking:

1. Does God exist?
2. If God exists, does He care what we do?
3. If God exists, does He care what people who've not heard about him do?
4. Even if it's something that the Bible expressly forbids and which all right thinking people would condemn, even if they are filthy heathens?
5. For good measure, we do agree that the Bible expressly forbids pre-marital and homosexual sex, don't we?


My, my, for a newbie making his first post, you certainly raise some interesting subjects.

BUT I HAVE YOUR MEASURE NEWBOY!!! I know you from those other places . You've done them to death there, and we've done a good deal of it to death here. A horse's death, to be precise.

TonyK will be your friend. Why don't you go down and keep him company? You'll be loved there (PS. But God may be watching (if He exists), so no hi-jinx).

You know, this isn't directed specifically at Isolde's last several posts on this thread because lots of people do it. I've seen it the entire time I've been on the ship. This constant putting down of the liturgical tastes and traditions of others just because it's not to your taste really makes me sick.

It should be a dead horse just as much as open/closed communion or the ordination of women. Even more so since those issues have some basis in theology but this is just a matter of personal taste and habit. Nothing more. Get a clue: God doesn't care. Every time this stuff comes up somebody has to jump in and say "Your music stinks" or "You don't worship the right way like I do. You're in fact wrong. I'm right.

I don't recall a light bulb going on over anybody's head - "Yes, you are so right. Since I don't like incense I'm not worshipping God the right way. Thanks for pointing that out."

People who'd get jumped on for making racist or ethnic slurs are allowed to mock or put down the deeply held and cherished traditions of others.

It's the deadest of dead horses and in my opinion ought to be confined to the basement where the rest of us don't have to read it.

Ya'll just go down there and spew bile to your heart's content.

The Poll results have been archived.

Our Third-Runner-Up is...













[Yipee] [Yipee] [Yipee]
[Yipee]
CHORISTER
[Yipee]
[Yipee] [Yipee] [Yipee]


For our three remaining Contestants--

ROUND 9: THE CIRCUS


In what is sure to go down in Ship of Fools History, the Heaven Board will allow a game of the infamous...

MORNINGTON CRESCENT


The rules are as follows:

1) Whichever Contestant decides to take the initiative will start from The Styx and execute a move to one of the following 14 destinations:

Heaven
Purgatory
Hell
All Saints
Ecclesiantics
Kerygmania
The Circus
Dead Horses
Limbo
The Ark
Gadgets for God
Signs & Blunders
Fruitcake Zone
Born Twice


2) Each Contestant should make a total of 5 moves; out of the 15 available moves, the final one will be executed to Mornington Crescent. NONE of the above destinations can be visited more than once.

3) A Contestant may post consecutively once; if he or she does so, all remaining posts must follow another contestant's.

4) The Contestant who winds up in Mornington Crescent will gain one vote; a Contestant who winds up breaking one of the above rules, however, will lose two votes.

Goodness, I feel rather like Cate Blanchett, winning best actress in a supporting role.

I'll just slip into my yellow dress and scarlet sash and say "I know you think it's cheesy, Chorister darling, but I love you". I do. We go back a long way.

Then, having said that, I shall move to Kergymania and revisit Kiwi's Donkey appendage. It was a big moment in the history of SOF Idol. Not as big as we'd have liked, but big enough.

Keep up Vikki! According to my reckoning, Left at the Altar, Kiwigoldfish and Sine; respectively Aussie, Kiwi and American. Hence the amazement about a peculiarly British quiz show being used for the next round.

Kiwi, thinking that at some point Sine will be joining this game, decides to move the action to a more suitable spot for the arrival of the third contestant.

Let's double back and go to the Fruitcake Zone.

This is the point where I could be a smartarse and point out that the rules only imply that I have to let the other 2 contestants plays out their 5 moves and so declare us to be at Mornington Crescent.

But I won't, because that seems a little risky.

So instead I shall make my final move (using my consecutive posts), and in homage to the fact that Sine seems to have blundered and is fast running out of room to play this game without taking the 2 vote penalty I'm moving us to Signs and Blunders.

Oh me oh my. It looks like I'm screwed. And will probably lose this game too. Still, the Lord loves a cheerful loser. And if I get the ship's loser vote I'm a shoe-in.

My heart really hasn't been in it since I found there was no tiara to be won. Nonetheless I will head to All Saints in hope of at least winning "Miss Congeniality".

Don't stress Sine,

It's only a couple of votes. And with a bloc the size of your's that should be no great obstacle to overcome.

I also shoot horses to put them out of their misery. It's a kindness really.

Even perfectly healthy miserable horses, I'm guessing.
