Eventually the Hosts will all get sick of it and close it down to be followed by a 'Why did you close it?' thread in The Styx. The only board I don't expect to see it on is Heaven, unless we do awards again and there's one for 'Most Tedious Thread'.

No. No it's not. Each time I started my morning rounds, a little bit more of me died when I saw that this thread still lived. The thread title became more and more appropriate as time went on.
Another reason why I love the Ship: there are people here who make me look non-tedious by comparison.

Odd. I can't think of any.

And, can I add that perhaps it's evidence of how tedious people are that no-one thought to post such an obvious response for 5h. Come on people, Mousethief gives you a free pass for an easy insult in Hell and you let him off?

Oh, I thought about it. But unlike you I didn't feel it was worth boosting my post count for.

I read Ariston's post and started compiling a list of Shipmates who make me look non-tedious.

Two things. One, you can't apologize for something somebody else does, especially something you don't approve of. "I'm sorry you took me wrong" isn't an apology, it's a slap in the face. It's a deliberate attempt to shirk off responsibility. It's a shameful misuse of the word "sorry."
Two, You can't be abusive in an apology and have any hope of being accepted as sincere. Ending your so-called apology with with "get over it" proves you have absolutely no intent to apologize, and your words of ostensible apology are an empty lie.
In short, you're being an asshole. Still. And yet you CLAIM that you want to debate the points on their merits. Yet you ignore people who have points that might possibly disprove your points (such as Ad Orientem), and you insult people who actually do disprove something you've said (as shown here) and pretend you never meant it anyway.
You show yourself, again and again, to have no honour at all. None. Zilch.

I'm seriously pissed off with Steve Langton's chopping and changing, picking and choosing, while making the same dull noise in response to a variety of questions.
He retains the fantasy that pre-Constantinian Christianity was some wonderland of a Christian nation and that only until then was that the case. AFAIK Celtic Christianity was independent for at least 250 years after that (ie, until after Augustine had met the bishops at Aust) and I am sure that has never been regarded as a Christian nation. In any event, Christianity was so diverse and geographically spread out that whatever they had in common, they could never be regarded as a nation. A 'diverse community' perhaps, but no more than that.
The man's deceived himself. He doesn't know it, and he's not going to examine himself, probably because he's afraid of uncovering that very fact.

Steve's fantasy Christianity includes a period when Jewish Christians and Gentile Christians couldn't manage to sit down and eat dinner together. It was followed by the arc of anti-Semitism including the creation of the story that Jews were Christ Killers.
No doubt they were responding to the actions of their time, including Jewish antipathy toward them and a desire not to be savaged by the Romans, but it's nothing to emulate.

No lie. The book of Acts and some of the Epistles read like a lost Real Housewives script in places- the whining, the bickering, the ego wars...

He can't Johnny. Can not. It's not his fault. Fear has NOTHING to do with it. The wind changed long ago and his face is set.

These show that Barnabas and Paul couldn't get on; then again, I don't think Paul got on with anyone.
Maybe he and Steve should get a room. I'm sure the survivor could put us all in our place.

Paul was the Teresa Manzo of the New Testement. Also, he appeared to be a bit gossipy.
