*sigh*, this is pathetic....

Okay, Sidney, Benjamin Lee, or whoever you call yourself , from San Francisco using Everyones Internet, (its not really all that hard to grab an IP, hostmask, and ISP, retard), why are you so scared to just email me? Why? Do you think Ill go to your website, leave you unasked for comments insulting you?
But alas, I have a bit better manners.
But DO allow me to respond to your comment, no apologetics site needed....
"
Your art and clothing company are interesting outlets for such a high and mighty Christian boy. The images of what I can only call Satanically inspired art (what a miserable, frightening, soulless world springs forth from your mind - is that what Jesus inspires you to create?), and the clothing company selling images of gangsters, graffiti and broken hearts on women's thong panties. No conflict of interest there, Nathaniel? No, no! There's nothing in the bible that says you can't sell gangster panties! Hypocrite. You do not practice what you preach. "
Satanically inspired? Sorry, but the Bible isnt all that rosy either (ever read the Psalms, or Lamentations?)
Gangster clothing? If you think that is gangster clothing, you need to stop visiting the liberals in Berkley, and come down and see what real gangsters are. Gangsters dont walk around with cartoons on their shirts, ESPECIALLY ones aimed at SKATERS. It's
SKATER CLOTHING.
And sorry, I forgot the part in the Bible where it says that panties are a sin as well.
"
This is the status quo of religious extremists such as yourself. Quick, run to an apologetics web site and find something to say as a response. Poor boy."
Are there religious extremists? Of course. Am I one? Doubtful. I dont think it is a sin to drink, or to smoke, or to eat pork, or listen to rock music, or to get tattoos.
And I could make a case Bibically for each.
But I see what you're trying to do. You're trying to insinuate that because Im a hardliner on the basics of Christianity, and because I dont stretch my moral and logical beliefs to fit whats comfortable for YOU to stand, that I must be as narrow-minded as you try and peg ALL Christians.
Seriously, if you really want to debate this, e-mail me. I wont harrass you, I wont parade your email address, but if you're that scared, sign up for a free yahoo account and email me.
Otherwise, you'll have to live with the shame of knowing that at best, you'll be nothing more than a coward who never had the balls to stand up to someone you thought was wrong.
Then again, who knows. You do spend an awful lot of time looking into what
I do....

Did I say "extremist"? I meant to say FUNDAMENTALIST. They are the same thing under the surface, but I know that you love to split hairs and read everything LITERALLY. That is what you base all your arguments on, a very literal reading of what was said.
Which is why no one can "debate" you. It is like debating a large stone or a pile of dirty laundry. You can't win. The stone or pile of laundry won't make any valid points, but you wouldn't expect them to. Just like "debating" a fundamentalist.
You read everything literally except your bible, of course, which you only read literally when it suits you. The rest of the time you are interpreting. To suit your needs. Dude, it's either the word of god or it ain't. Stop being wishy washy.

Hey Zen Lee, u have a very good point. U really need to get over yourself Nate. What people do is different from wat it says in the bible, DON'T ger me WRONG, but i do go to church, but I dont believe in one God I believe in Gods and Goddesses. Really how would one man create the whole Earth and outer space??? <br />
