Considering that Nancy's the one pushing for banning the usage of words like father in favor of those he listed, his answer was quite as funny as your OP. I really do not think you need to rebuke him for it...unless, of course, you want someone to rebuke you for being nasty and comparing the brains of congress to 6th graders? If you don't want silly answers to your jokes/silly thoughts, don't post 'em. SureWord 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a nasty comment, the type that has become far too often used in our society. It is not a Christ-like reply in any sense of the word.

Bouncing Bill Posted January 5, 2021 Author Share Posted January 5, 2021 Remember as Erasmus said, "Give light, and the darkness will disappear of itself." I add, quench light and you live in darkness. So, spread light, always spread light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Hugh_Flower Posted January 5, 2021 Members Share Posted January 5, 2021 Bouncing Bill, the only nasty thing in this thread was brought by you with your contentious behavior. His joke was in the exact same vain as yours. HappyChristian 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you need to re-learn the definition of "gutter comments." There was nothing about the gutter in his comment (other than the sad fact that our Congress is putting us there with their ridiculous "rules" about not calling anyone father, mother, sister, daughter, son)...and as was pointed out by myself and another - it was IN THE EXACT SAME VEIN AS YOUR OPENING COMMENT. You have taken something that could have been enjoyable and fun and made it, yet again, a test about your superior spirituality. Again, if you don't want those kinds of comments, stop making them yourself. And I would think quoting Christ about light - since He is the TRUE Light, would be more apropos for someone who is trying to make it seem that silly comments are not Christ-like. I'm not going to continue going back and forth with you about this. Just stop. There was no more wrong with his comment than there was with yours. Let's move on and go about our day for the Lord.
