Thanx BD. Been meaning to type something like this on this thread for a little bit. Saw futility in it and didn't act. Good on ya for doing so.

TBH, if BD had pulled up the homophobic, bigoted beliefs posted by these 2 religious clowns or the offensive hate aimed at non believers…he might have had a point. But he didn’t, so no.

BD has defended the clowns and criticised others.

To not condemn is to support. So, i don’t take any notice of BD.

Cheers @wax24. Appreciate it.
No worries RK. Different perspectives on this one but understand where you're coming from. Cheers.

RK... "to not condemn is to support" is a rather binary viewpoint. And whether or not BD has defended bad actors (whether or not they ARE bad actors.. not stating an opinion either way here) his point is not to be ignored, in MY view. Which is to say.... don't attack someones faith. Just don't. Move along about your life. Live and let live. I am interested neither in attacking faith nor defending it. I am not defending their belief system now. I am defending them from being bullied online (don't do that either.)

Bollocks are they getting bullied. And their having faith is ok, no one is condemning that. What they say in here based off their faith should be called out and is bullying (yet, you give them a pass).
You are defending their right to post homophobia, bigotry and hate. You can think that is ok..and make make excuses and give them the ok to post such…I don’t.

When you defend those groups these 2 clown condemn and pass judgement on and bully…I might listen to what you say, until then….run along why don’t you.

Thx for understanding, bd…

Now lets get back to surf competition chat..it’s a lot more fun and civil.

Ugh. And this i why i told BD that i hadn't spoke to this because of the futility i saw in it. Too much triggered. That is too bad. I certainly can't change that. Have a good surf whenever that next is.

It’s possible if you believe there is a God. Can it be ruled out?

The Real Face of Jesus
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a234/1282186/?source=nl&...

Some people have too much time on their hands haven’t they….the Jesus in “The Chosen “series is a good depiction I thought and plays the part well….but no one will know what He looks like until you meet Him face to face.

Jesus must be busy if he's meeting most Christians that have ever died.

I wonder how jesus feels about the murders that have been going on for 000’s of years in his name, or how those that were murdered feel about hanging with the murderers? Or how he sees the pedophiles that have raped in his name…or the abused kids that committed suicide feel coming face to face with those who molested them…but weaselled out of punishment by repenting their sins.

The never ending story...

When i surf i Dance for Allah.

Hmmmm……isn’t Twisteddrifter the same bloke* who a few short days ago was accusing Swellnet of stirring religious controversy for attention?

Now he’s trying to stir religious controversy for attention?

Oh, the irony.

There are some things you should hush up about, Sybil

Optimist the amoebic one is at it again I see. When you are that small ( not visible to the human eye) you can cleverly slime your way into anything, anywhere, anytime, spreading your crap all over this place and trying to infect us but it’s clear to us that your brain has been affected by one of your own, the one and only , Naeglaria fowleri

Sunday message…written 2750 years ago….
It is He who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches the heavens out like a curtain…and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in….Isaiah 40:22……
An ancient writing of interest to the physics minded.

Geez Optimist, so now you are a ‘fence sitter’, sitting up there all alone on the Ozone layer chewing away at the triatomic matter,looking down on creation (all 5mins of it) wow, you are multi skilled, I gotta give it to you, you are one talented male or female, now you are a bloody entomologist, what else have you created in that brain of yours. I doubt whether any of Australia’s cereal crop farmers would want anymore grasshoppers than they had last Summer. Just a bit of fun.

I’ve only ever posted under differing names due to necessity. I’d still proudly be Blowin if it wasn’t for those with perennially blood splattered panties.

I see you boys haven’t been surfing the nice E swell….idle hands they say…..

Wonder if Gary Ablett snr knows he has his own thread on swellnet ?

Pretty hard Optimist, 1000’s kms from that coast, I must say it’s a pretty apt name for a truly religious person. Coming from you, you make feel creepy just thinking about ‘your idle hands’, disgusting. But after all, you do follow the church and it’s beliefs and reputations. Just a bit of fun.

How religion started.

Try Genesis 1:1

You still don't understand that there are many religions in the world and possibly universe.
All trying to explain how we got here and how everything works.
Faith is stopping you from questioning the universe, kind of sad really.

Groundswell. How’s that change of diet and lifestyle going over there in KBI ? Hope you are well mate.

Alfred its going good thanks, eating lots of veggies and a bit of chicken, bought some avocado's but got home and they weren't' in my box or backseat so must have gone to the person behind me on the queue.
Haven't checked my weight but i feel a lot better, drinking water about 12 glasses a day as before i had a little stint back on the turps and beer, if not surfing or working was drinking about 12 beers a day. Saving coin not drinking beer or buying tobacco anymore.Indo is on the cards if its not too crowded according to my friends in Lampung or Bengkulu.Or maybe g-land for 4 weeks as its so expensive now, i think g-land is $1000 a week now.

Happy Mother’s Day…..a commandment and a promise.
Honour your father and your mother as the Lord God has commanded you, that your days may be long and it may be well with you in the land that the Lord God has given you. deut 5:16.
If your anyone like me, your dear old mum wasn’t always that dear to you. My mum came from the stock of shearers and farmers right back to 1788 and off the first fleet. She was one tough lady as was her mum. I remember the first time I got drunk at age 15 she punched me in the face when I got home. When I was a kid I was strapped with a belt which seemed like it was daily for any minor infringement. She was also addicted to the good old bex and Vincent’s powders which I had to go daily to the service station for her to get her fix. My dad would wind her up too as he was sometimes abusive and then would rack off and leave me to deal with the consequences. But…she was still my mum and I loved her and never gave up on her. I knew she loved me too but didn’t really know how to show it I think. As the years went by she softened so much, then I had kids and I would watch her with them still tough but a very tender nana.
So what’s my point.?…. Even though I didn’t know it at the time , I continued to honour her as most of you would , as my mother and the one who bore me…I would at least give her that credit even though I didn’t have that nice bond I see other people have. …But….that has changed, she is completely different now, so soft and loving a real sweety….I love to visit her as do my brothers and my kids and their kids…how people can soften and change is one of life’s great things….I’m going out into the country town she lives in today to take her to the pub for lunch.
She is a grand old lady now…86 and still lives on her own…always will since dad passed…..worlds best baker…generous and loving….My Mum God bless her…happy Mother’s Day.

No one needs god to command them how to treat their Mum and Dad or anyone. People know what is right and what is wrong.

Should be good viewing.

Any cafe's on Mothers day Toady?

" 26 But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt."

Yep that absolutely happened alright and still happens all the time to this day.

Don’t be silly. It’s an historical document.

Is it a pillar of iodised salt? Or a pillar of Himalayan sea salt? …and could you use it on sandwiches?

Strange you asked because when my younger brother turned into a pillar of salt he was iodized salt but when my mother turned into a pillar of salt she was Himalayan salt and tasted very good on sandwiches.

I wonder if you scratched off a hand of salt and bottled it...and carried it around...you would get charged with people smuggling?

In reference to Optimist dissing Tom Tilley because he was born into a silly incarnation of many silly incarnations of a silly belief.

The point being he began to think for himself.
