Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...I do have moderator experience & time to help out."
[Similar avatar] You are good looking.

"...([H]ey, I gave Sod a pos rep for humor AFTER our blow up) and I think banning should be reserved for blasphemy..."
"...and as a last resort for repeated and willful (informed) violation of the rules..."
You're already a good librarian.
"...[A]nd for a couple of people just to put a scare in..."
You should apply. Put me down as a reference.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Would you consider initiating the approach and appointing someone you trust if they are willing when asked?"
Didn't you
hear? First, you must love the Lord. It's a prerequisite for the job (Mt
22:38).
When
it takes you five times to answer the question: "Do
you worship Jesus?" Something is amiss (2
Pe 2:1).
No, you should apply.
I'm sure that Knight will bust down your door to ask you because you are so
worthy. Put me down as a reference.
Response to comment [from a "Christian]: "Before the dozens of nominations for me come in, I'm going to take myself out of the running. Sorry to disappoint my fans..."
Have I told you lately that I love you? Lie of the Day
(Ingraham)...
... Have I told there there's no one else above you?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Is that like roasting Catholics?"
Take a Catholic. You can barbecue it, boil it, broil it, bake it, saute it. Dey's uh, Catholic-kabobs, Catholic creole, Catholic gumbo. Pan fried, deep fried, stir-fried. There's pineapple Catholic, lemon Catholic, coconut Catholic, pepper Catholic, Catholic soup, Catholic stew, Catholic salad, Catholic and potatoes, Catholic burger, Catholic sandwich. That- that's about it.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "I do love the Lord and He knows that..."
Your Jesus does
never existed (Jn
4:25). The Jesus of scripture is holy (Ps
16:10,
Is. 11:4,
5) and qualified to be
our Savior, a perfect sacrifice (Psa.
45:2; Isa.

He died for man's sin (1
Pet. 1:18,
19). He is the satisfying
solution to man's sin problem (Rom.
3:25,
26). He reconciles God
and man (2
Cor. 5:18,
19). He offers the sinner
His righteousness (2
Cor. 5:20,
21).
You don't answer basic questions because you are a
deceiver (2
Pe 2:1).
"...[You] are wrong to be a godplayer..."
I am right to warn others about you (Eph 5:11).
"You are also the idiot..."
"But you have a gambling problem." ~ Homer Simpson
"...[W]ho asked the same question over and over..."
I have asked you different questions. What kind of a Christian is stumped by: Do you worship Jesus?
"...I answered yes to over and over in various ways..."
"Yes," would have been a normal response. You became disturbed because you are disturbed (1 Tim. 1:6, 7).
"...[Y]ou would not accept my clear answer..."
Clear as mud, RandomThoughts.
"[P]laying some stupid game..."
I don't play games and you're paranoid (1 Tim. 1:6, 7). We have the truth. We don't have to keep up with lies like the deceiver (Eph 4:14).
"I am not the unreasonable one."
Yes, you are (1 Tim. 6:3–5).
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Did I ever tell you you're my hero?"
"He's no Jedi." ~ Bib Fortuna, Star Wars
Response to comment [from an atheist]: "I'll do it."
Why should Knight chose you? Tit 3:3
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Knight knows I'm joking. He would never seriously consider me as a moderator..."
Joking or not. I hope Knight picks a Christian (preferably not a librarianesk Christian). Saints are the only people qualified to fill the position (1 Co 6:3, Hos 3:1).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: ""Absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Would you make a good moderator Grossy?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "...[i]f you don't get the job it's just God's will."
Do you think you'd be up to the job? I'd show you the respect that you deserve, Don'O.
Response to comment [from a Satanist]: "We should put a pool together."
Let's ask the masses (Ex 23:2), Satanist.
What about you S.O.D.? Could you stay out of trouble long enough to apply for the job?
Response to comment [from other]: "No offense, but..."
What I say next will be offensive.
"...[Y]ou report waaaay too many posts to be a mod..."
Says the king of tattle tales.
Response to comment [from other]: "Just two-cents..."

"How about you? You're somewhat conservative; and you can quote Scripture like anyone I've ever seen."
κυβέρνησις
--not my specialty. God has appointed these in the church: first apostles,
second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of
healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues (1 Co 12:28).
I'd be fired for "restriction of output". I wouldn't ban anyone. I value freedom
of speech--probably to a fault. Tom'O would be good at making people disappear
in the middle of the night.
That, or they'd wake up
with a horse head in their bed.
How 'bout you? You are hated by all the right people. You must be doing
something right.
Response to comment [from other]: "...[Y]ou have no idea what you're talking about in regard to reported posts..."
You thought your secret was safe?
Response to comment [from a Messianic Jew]: "I think you need somebody that knows the Scriptures front to back. Someone that their only doctrine is the Scriptures. Commited to God first, last and foremost. And will not lie. Someone uncompromising. I nominate Yeshua. (find somebody with Him inside them)."
How 'bout you? Messianic Jews are special! Mt 1:1
Up to the plate Nick'M. Would you want to be a moderator?
Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Messianic Jew/special] "In Christ there is neither Jew or Gentile. Messianic Jews have another gospel."
That's true.
Anyone in Christ is special (Ps
1:3;
Jer 17:8).
And, we find out,
he's not a Messianic Jew at all.
"When the idiotic left speaks, we're free to show how wrong they are."
That's right. And we take our job seriously. I don't know about you but I'm not the κυβέρνησις type--not my specialty. "God has appointed these in the church: first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, administrations, varieties of tongues (1 Co 12:28)."
[How 'bout you? You are hated by all the right people. You must be doing something right.] "You noticed that too ey?"
Of course I noticed. I am always saddened when a Christian, fighting the good fight, gets banned (Lk 9:50). I don't even like when they get banned. Their worldviews must be challenged. Time is of the essence (Eph 5:16).
"That does it, I vote for serpent dove for the new moderator position!"
No no. You and I weren't created to wipe spittle from mouths; neither were we meant for desk jobs. We were created to drag their sorry carcasses to our Lord for judgment (Lk 19:27).

The Destruction of Mankind, Part 1: Genesis 6:5-12 by
John MacArthur
In the words of John Creasy:
"Forgiveness is between them and God. It's my job to arrange the meeting."
Hopefully, some will repent (Ro 9:2).
"(It has absolutely nothing to do with me teetering on the edge of TOL extinction again)..."
I teeter with you daily. My name has appeared in red more than once--always sad to learn when I wake up for my morning Joe.
Response to comment [from a "Christian"]: "Do you think non-trins should be treated harshly because of their non-trin position? Do you think believing in trinity is salvation issue?"
It is. It puts you outside the kingdom of God and into the kingdom of the cults (Mt 3:16,17; 28:19; Ro 8:9; 1Co 12:3-6; 2Co 13:14; Eph 4:4-6; 1Pe 1:2; Jude 1:20,21; Re 1:4,5). God saves (2 Th 2:13,14; Tit 3:4-6; 1 Pe 1:2).

"You will not get my vote as a mod. [T]hanks for your clarification."
I won't get my
vote either.
"I will not accept if nominated and will not serve if elected." ~ William
Tecumseh Sherman--I'll take that sweet tank named after him though.

Response to comment [from a Christian]: [Chicken wings]
I shall put them out.
Response to comment [from a Catholic]: "I would rather be a Catholic than a moderator."
You'd rather be
a Catholic
than a Christian (Mt 15:9).

Response to comment [from a
Christian]: "I would accept many of you as a mod..."
Do we have a
choice?
Maybe Geraldbug
would be best for this?
How 'bout you Rainee? We know you are a peacemaker.

"If Gerald won't do an interview how will he be a mod? I don't know who he is yet!"
He's a fiend. That's all we need to know.
"...[D]ear Serpent Dove - I am not a peace maker any more than you are!"
No no. I know your type. You use tricks like, "So and so said nice things about you," when it's not true--but flattery will get you everywhere.
"...Which means we are indeed to some (Christian) extent, but not when compared to the peacemakers who are gifted as such..."
You have this gift (Mt 5:9). If you can a rebel rouser like me (Lk 9:54) to take it down a notch, you're good.
"Also I like order and authority and justice, and goodness in all of that! But I don't want to be a part of it. No, that's hard work!"
It would be hard work. If you can bring any semblance of reason into our wicked world, I have to believe that it would be most appreciated (Mt 25:23).
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Stripe is one of my faves too. Stripe, Chickenman, Psalmist, Rocketman, Vegas Cowboy, Ebenz and Mary Contrary..."
There's an idea.
Knight could divide the load. Appoint several people and if they mess up, we'll
never know. "Moderator" will disappear off of their name--like on Facebook when
some posts a skanky picture,
for example, you delete them as a "friend" and no one ever knows (Pr 31:10-31).
Also, after all of the build up--talk about pressure to perform well.
All eyes
will be on the new Moderator.
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "There's a place for people who post nasty pictures. It's called the penalty box."
You must be speaking about Spitfire.
"If someone posts a picture you feel is nasty, report it..."
Does that include going for the no make-up look when you don't have the skin for it? Brian, Family Guy
