I used to watch Burn Notice. That means I'm abnormal, does it not? How do you feel about Fiona, the gal who eagerly asks, "Should I shoot him?"

Deeper Waters Forum Guidelines
Notice – The ministries featured in this section of TheologyWeb are guests of this site and in some cases not bargaining for the rough and tumble world of debate forums, though sometimes they are. Additionally, this area is frequented and highlighted for guests who also very often are not acclimated to debate fora. As such, the rules of conduct here will be more strict than in the general forum. This will be something within the discretion of the Moderators and the Ministry Representative, but we simply ask that you conduct yourselves in a manner considerate of the fact that these ministries are our invited guests. You can always feel free to start a related thread in general forum without such extra restrictions. Thank you.
Deeper Waters is founded on the belief that the Christian community has long been in the shallow end of Christianity while there are treasures of the deep waiting to be discovered. Too many in the shallow end are not prepared when they go out beyond those waters and are quickly devoured by sharks. We wish to aid Christians to equip them to navigate the deeper waters of the ocean of truth and come up with treasure in the end.
We also wish to give special aid to those often neglected, that is, the disabled community. This is especially so since our founders are both on the autism spectrum and have a special desire to reach those on that spectrum. While they are a special emphasis, we seek to help others with any disability realize that God can use them and that they are as the Psalmist says, fearfully and wonderfully made.

Originally posted by Darth Executor View Post. . . it's that the average atheist is weird and abnormal (sometimes highly so) and the average Christian isn't. I think that's mostly true.
ETA: I am so weird and abnormal that I do not even watch TV - any TV.Micah 6:8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the LORD require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?

Spend a weekend with me. I'll show you how weird it can get."Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." ― C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock: Essays on Theology (Making of Modern Theology)

I thought the meme was ridiculous too, but partly because it portrays listening to bands like Nightwish as some kind of self-destructive behavior. I listen to music way, way more extreme than Nightwish, yet I look a whole lot like the guy on the left. It's not self-destructive at all. Just silly, IMO.I DENOUNCE DONALD J. TRUMP AND ALL HIS IMMORAL ACTS.

I'm pretty sure the creator just took a picture of a guy who looks like a freak off google images and his having nightwish on his tshirt has nothing to do with that, other than match colors."As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12
