MAGILL

Mr. Till,
You seem to pride yourself on having the Most assounding irrefutable
arguments. Like am I supposed to be impressed with a man who lacks
spiritual discernment and is not annoited to even teach God's Word?

TILL
Translation: Hey, I can't answer your arguments, but I can hurl inane
platitudes at you.

MAGILL
You know, if a man is not teaching God's Word by the the Power of God's Holy
Spirit than that man has nothing to say and if he chooses to teach in
willful error, lying about God, then woe, woe ,woe unto that man. False
prophets such as yourself, I do no fear. I fear God. You Mr. Till are a
false prophet on an anti-christ crusade trying to win converts to satan.
Why do you enjoy, so much, using his stinking, lying, puking words? Your
are on a dangerous path Mr. Till and your soul is in eternal jeopardy.
You know, your so stupid right now in the choices you are making. UTTER
STUPIDITY....Yet you think your someone
great.........................Mr. Till you are not great. I'm sorry to
burst your bubble but you need Jesus Christ. He is your only Hope. I
assure Mr. till you will not be able to save yourself from the wrath you
are storing up for yourself for the Day of Judgement! Only He who died
for your sins can justify you.

TILL
Well, I think it's time to bring in Abdul again. I asked for his comment on
the above paragraph, and this was his response.

ABDUL AL-SAMAADI
You know, if a man is not teaching Allah's Word as revealed in Allah's Holy
Qur'an, th[e]n that man has nothing to say and if he chooses to teach in
willful error, lying about Allah, then woe, woe ,woe unto that man. False
prophets such as Mr. Magill, I do no[t] fear. I fear Allah. You, Mr. Magill,
are a
false prophet on an anti-Muhammad crusade trying to win converts to Satan.
Why do you enjoy, so much, using his stinking, lying, puking words? You
are on a dangerous path, Mr. Magill, and your soul is in eternal jeopardy.
You know, you're so stupid right now in the choices you are making. UTTER
STUPIDITY....Yet you think you're someone great........................ Mr.
Magill, you are not great. I'm sorry to burst your bubble but you need
Allah. He is your only Hope. I assure, Mr. Magill, you will not be able to
save yourself from the wrath you
are storing up for yourself for the Day of Judgment! Only Allah can save you.

TILL
Well, Abdul's response wasn't bad, but I think that Mr. Magill's statements
need to be translated for newcomers to the list, who may not be familiar
with fundamentalist rhetoric.

Translation: I'm utterly frustrated, so I don't know what to do but hurl
insults and threats at Till.

MAGILL
"Everyway of a man is right in his own eyes, but the Lord weighs the
hearts." Given the fact that you have your little host of false boasters
to root you on, your ego has undergone a bloated transformation of its
own.

TILL
Hey, is this guy really Matthew Burdette posting under a pseudonymn?

MAGILL
Come back down to reality if you can and return to Jesus Christ. He
loves you Mr. Till and for now He's given you me to proclaim His truth
to you. Lucky you, hardy, har, har...I know when I stick to His Word, I
can't go wrong. God's Word does not return void Mr. Till. Truth has a
way of remaining and lies have a way of running away. Your not right in
any of your claims that deny Jesus Christ or His truth. Why do I need to
prove to you that which can only be spiritually discerned and which you
are incapable of doing?

TILL
Holy cow, I think someone has cloned Matthew Burdette and Tony Woodstock
into a blend of one person. Maybe there is something to this 1 + 1 +1 = 1
stuff about God after all.

MAGILL
Mr. Till as wise and as inrelligent as you think yourself to be, a new born
again Christian who accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior yesterday has
more wisdom, discernment, and understanding of God's Word than you do?

TILL
Well, gee, Jeff, if this is true, why don't you demonstrate a little of that
wisdom, discernment, and understanding to us and actually try to answer an
argument?

MAGILL
Don't kid yourself Mr. Till or keep duping the rest of your infidel clan,
you know nothing because you know not JESUS CHRIST!

TILL
Yep, Jeff is obviously frustrated.

MAGILL
You're not dragging me into your little spider's nest.

TILL
Translation: Hey, I'll soon be running for the hills, but first I want to
hurl as many insults as I can. I consider it my Christian duty.

MAGILL
Mr. Till, do you think you are a profound psychologist and that your reverse
pyschology in causing me to continue reasoning with a bunch of ignorant,
bitter, blasphemous souls whose end will be a pitiful little wimper of shame
and disgrace unless they repent?

TILL
Hey, people is this true? Are you really a bunch of ignorant, bitter,
blasphemous souls? Shame on you for deceiving me. I thought you were all
intelligent, decent people. You just never know, do you?

MAGILL
It does grieve my heart that you could be so prideful and hateful to a God
that has
demonstrated throughout History, to all people His Love, His grace, and
His everlasting mercy through His Son Jesus Christ.

TILL
Why, sure, God has demonstrated his love to all his people throughout
history by afflicting us with cancer, birth deformities, sickle cell anemia,
heart disease, insanity, cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, etc., etc., etc.,
etc., etc. Oh, Lord, how could I have been so blind to your love and grace!
Please forgive me and make my soul as pure and noble as Jeff Magill's.

MAGILL
Mr. Till you have no idea what Love is?

TILL
Sure, I do. I have a wife, children, grandchildren, friends, relatives.
Why would you think that I have no idea what love is? However, I think I
know someone who has no idea what logic is. Does that count?

MAGILL
Perfect love casts out fear because fear has do with torment. That's who you
believe God is...a God of torment. NOTHING IS MORE WRONG THAN THIS BELIEF.

TILL
Why, no, there is no reason at all to believe that a god who is going to
cast into eternal hellfire even people who committed trivial and minor
offenses again him is a "god of torment." I don't know how anyone ever got
this idea.

MAGILL
"A haughty spirit goeth before a fall and pride goeth before destruction but
ofcourse, I'm sure your little fallen angel god lucifer has lied to you all
about it.

TILL
Yawn!

MAGILL
I can assure that each of your objections is answerable

TILL
Then why don't you have a go at answering them.

MAGILL
but I don't believe you want the truth.

TILL
Sure, I do. That's why I quit my former profession when I saw that the
Bible is not what I was taught to believe it is.

MAGILL
Are you a blatant satan worshipper? I suspect that you are?

TILL
No, actually, I worship Thor, the storm god. My faith in him has served me
well. I have never been struck by lightning or injured by a tornado or any
storm activity. A tornado once struck the town I live in, but my house
escaped damage. What more could you ask for as proof that Thor is a god
that watches over all who believe in him?
