Hi new here

[Haruo]

Did you perchance misspell your "real name", Mr. Ahmed Bayou?

Welcome, "Amazed," you will find Baptists of all kinds here; and perhaps you can bring some balance to the venue. Jump on in the water; and I guarantee you: YOU WILL BE BAPTIZED BY FIRE. I missed my morning worship service here in NC today because of ice and snow this morning. The sun has warmed things up since; and I'll shortly leave the house for the annual community Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Service. There won't be very many of us white boys there; but I will be very much at home with my black brothers in Jesus. Prentice, USAF/ret

[Haruo]

No, I didn't mean that he was/you were actually the infamous Louisiana Islamic Baptist Ahmed Bayou, I just meant he (or she)/you needed to provide something more like a christening moniker than "Amazedbyyou". I doubt if we can provide a fire baptism to measure up to what the FFF can offer.

At least on the screen I'm currently looking at*, Ed, the color you used for the part about "clicking" is almost illegible, it's so close to the background. Light pink on white. Maybe it would be better to actually give a link, like this:

Is it possible that Sunny and Amazedbyyou are one and the same person? That question was once asked about me and Stephen; but forum members are now convinced that we are indeed separate biological entities, but "blood brothers." could the same be true of Sunny and Amazed. Will the real Amazedbysunny please speak up?

[Haruo]

I think "Sunny" is the one "stalking" "Amazedbyyou"; of course, this doesn't speak to the question of whether they're the same person. Or possibly a Zoroastrian duality, like MPD or only two of them/her/him. Or possibly, given that they are created in the image of God, they are a pre-Pentecostal Trinity.

[Prentice Fox]

Haruo that you are making is that A. and S. are "created in the Image of God". Could they be bi-sexual clones? If my theory is true, then there is a likely chance they would really be only Homo Semi-Erectus!!

[Haruo]

Bisexual clones are also, as much as thee and me, created in in imagine Dei if indeed they exist at all, Prentice.

Haruo

[Prentice Fox]

If Bi-sexual Clones are, as you say, IMAGO DEUS; Who "Imago'd" them? The Great Theologian, Flip Wilson used to say, "The Devil made me do it!"

[Haruo]

This is a bizarre thread, beginning as it does ex nihilo in media res, but seriously, Prentice, if you think bisexual persons are less "in the image of God" than thee and me, or if you think that it is the complementarity of biological genders that renders folk into the image of God, then I think your Baptist faith is showing signs of Mormon leanings. Do you truly believe a clone would be less intrinsically human than we are? Less deserving of Constitutional protections?

You ask two profound questions here, Haruo! Let me think about it a little bit and get back to you later on this. Much, much later. In the meantime I will consult with Randall Balmer and Richard Land on this and give you a Dialectical Synopsis!!
