Not anti-Christian at all. Anti-Chung tortured-rationale,
self-excusing and self-justifying ********.

Good job. Another one of those "I can't win this so I'll just act like
I did" things you and M_ulch do so clumsily.

Only problem with your position is that he already had left you and
your "pick what I like and leave the rest" version of Christianity
behind. He dropped you like the slippery item you are. Posted it
before you did. Nice try, though. Lets your shining honesty and
truthfulness show right through. This last is a good example of how
irony can be expressed through true statements.

Tell us more about that. What part of your diet, as a chef you would
know, what parts of your diet did you in?

Why didn't you exercise since you claim to have known better?

Why did you nearly kill yourself at your own hands?

Oh, it does help, your majesty. But I'm sure that Chung would prefer

So this is an answer you'll stand by? One with no content that insults
genuine scholars and pious seekers? Boy I can see your honesty
dripping out of it. And your IQ. Also dripping.

So, let's see, M_ucus. We have only your word about everything you've
posted. All those answers you said you'd stand by.

Do you dispute that your word is nothing without some sort of proof
like you imply should be forthcoming from Mozz about his experience?

Take your time. This will count towards your final grade. Look up
"hypocrite" before answering. Also "evasive liar" and "trolling" spammer.

Perhaps you'd like to say why Chung, the cardiologist, is your doctor.
Got a heart problem, Mister Fitness? What part of your lifestyle
caused you to deliberately destroy you chance for a longer life? Do
you have AIDS? Are you alcoholic? Do you inject drugs or take them
nasally? Why have you characterized Chung as "more than just a friend"
in the past? What does that mean? Are you ashamed of being a woman?

I need to make up a macro for your posts that says, "I can't win this
discussion, so I'll just act like I did." Just automatically punch it
like you do your spamming troll macro.

So if you post one of your usual lying diatribes and I say, "Yeah.
Right." What I said has neither inherent truth nor falsity, but is
ironic because the reply is exactly *not* offering the endorsement
that your lies are "right." Yes, I know. Too complex for you.

Two clear falsehoods in that small sentence. You don't write
truthfully and you most certainly aren't humble. You need to consider
the concept of "hubris" and see how it endangers your soul. You think
you're guaranteed. Bad mistake.

Generally speaking, yes. This is true for 'all' unenlightened beings.
We aim to become enlightened through practice.
I understand that you would certainly disagree with this point being a
practising Christian, and from your faith's stand point I can quite
undertand why this is so.

Outline of a growing obsession:

Pastorio hates the 2PD, and this hatred grows.

Pastorio hates Dr. Chung, the author of the 2PD, and this hatred grows.

Pastorio hates God, the creator of the author of the 2PD, and this hatred consumes him.


You continue to have my pity *and* love.

Ok, please don't keep everyone in suspense, is your answer "yes" or is it "no."

Now who might you be? A clone?
 
I'll answer these questions for you and no more until you answer
questions about your nearly killing yourself with excessive alcohol
intake, smoking and lack of exercise and highly improper diet that
lead to your obesity and ultimately to your quad bypass.

Ever.

Being a devout Christian is a plus as well.

He is my family's cardiologist not just mine.

Not possible for me to be ashamed over, being male and all.

I've answered your questions and no more until you answer questions
about your nearly killing yourself with excessive alcohol intake,
smoking and lack of exercise and highly improper diet that lead to
your obesity and ultimately to your quad bypass.

You admitted to being a heart patient.

Tell us more about that. What part of your diet, as a chef you would
know, what parts of your diet did you in?

Why didn't you exercise since you claim to have known better?

Why did you nearly kill yourself at your own hands?

What is the addiction problems with smoking and alcohol all about?

All confirmed by his constant TROLLING of SMC of you and me with no
intention of adding to the quality of discussion OR to talk about his
nearly killing himself with his love for food and excessive addictions
to alcohol and tobacco.

I don't mind your leaving the discussion because there really wasn't
any discussion. However, anti-Christian remarks? Where? Someone who
disagrees with you is anti-Christian? Someone who asks you questions
about your faith that you cannot answer is anti-Christian?

You probably don't know what the believers in Jesus were called during
his time. Time for biblical lesson #1:

They were called the Followers of Yeshua and also The followers of the
Nazorean.

Jesus from the Latin Jesus from the Greek Iesous from the Hebrew
Yeshua. I had to leave out the accent marks.

End of bible lesson #1

Mel, very pleased that Dr. Chung is returning to cardiology and
leaving religious conversation to those with knowledge and an open
mind.

What kind of man is afraid to post under real name and real e-mail

A man without honor.
