Does anyone remember when Noory referred to his own grandson as "the little dicker"? Not to be confused with granpappy the big dick(er).

I've heard him say similar things - But I think "no time" is a bit of hyperbole - since he's obviously aware they are there - and how to find them when he cares to.
But, the fact is - most of us choose - in fact we MUST choose given both biblical contradictions and certain social restraints.
We all make our choices. Theologians just happen to be more aware of exactly what those choices are - in the context of their religious training at least.
And wrestling with those choices and interpretation is part of the Protestant tradition (due to the entire cannon being printed in the common league of the area - rather that only in church Latin.
I think he is simply acting on his own thought process, spiritual struggles, and his biases (which we all have - even within "the church")

Well, he did also say, and has said before, that he spends 'no' time on the things in the Bible that would 'marginalize' certain people (paraphrasing here).
So I think he is saying that he selectively ignores some parts of the Bible he doesn't agree with (perhaps not all), and/or focuses on what he is interested in, or finds uplifting.
Likely most religious people of whatever faith do this to some extent - I'm happy to have him state where he stands, without making too big of a deal out of it.

It *could* be that he was referring to selective passages, but I have my doubts. My guess (it's only a guess) is that reading the other scriptures, even in this context, wouldn't be PC. Again, this isn't about OT scriptures or gay issues. It's about Ian's presentation of things (but I could be reading into things).

Well, I did buy some fat-free Thousand Island dressing the other day to put on my home-made hamburgers (MacDonalds' secret sauce)... does that count?
Or should I be eating this? Yeah, I know...

Hmmm... the "V" was in red ealier tonight in my browser, but has now turn into the generic "beige" which is the usual color. So goes the goblins of forum software.
Just for the record,; not that it's necessary - I don't post much about the idiocy of The One-Neuron Snoron, or claymoremine and the like, as, quite frankly, I don't pay much attention to either or their ilk... but there are some cool people here, who are nice to converse with.
I mean really... how many different ways are there to say Snoory is an idiot? Some may argue an infinite amount - I'd argue that, though that's possible, I'd rather spend my time picking tomatoes from the garden, or watching sports/TV, or enjoying a Whopper Jr. for only 1$... or talking politics or life-matters, than enaging my brain into put-downs for Noory. I'll leave that to the rest of you!
In addition to the 2 soft pretzels with salt I just enjoyed, I now have left-over skettie with meat sauce to enjoy. I wish that brain science guy had been on tonight with Ian instead of with Snoory a few nights back. A REAL scientist with intelligent, cogent thoughts on c2c - imagine that! Ian shoulda handled that guy...
Liberty my friends!

I should have posted Norry's "joke" on Thursday night.
Norry: "I have a pun for you to share with Lucy Pringle."
Linda: "What is it?"
Noory: "If she's taken aboard a spaceship, she'll be Lucy in the sky."
(paraphrasing)

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just got banned from GLP.. don't ask me why...
also... is it just me or is Noory becoming even more dick-ish, defensive and generally more of an arrogant cock lately? hm mmmmm

Oh POO! Why? It's fun, and it's not illegal. And besides - if "chasing the buck" were what it was all about there are easier, and more sure, ways.
A lot of people (not just here) have a lot of strange ideas about how clergy should behave.
I say good luck to him. I hope he gets on.

That's funny right there. Instead of saying that I have to punch a grumpy, in the future I will say that I have to punch a Noory.

V has pointed out that there are 156 episodes... However, Noory only seems to remember 2 of them which doesn't by any means (as evidenced by even a sporadic listener) stop him from mentioning them ad infinitum... lol

So Ian is learning about the Nations of Africa, in case it comes up when he gets on 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' (but specifically not just because a 'well educated' person such as Ian should probably know a few basic facts, like where most places are on a map).
Wow, a few things come to mind.
First, isn't it unseemly for a 'man of god' to be chasing the buck
on TV? Can't picture Mother Teresa on Wheel of Fortune, somehow.
Also, he's bragging about not knowing where Ethiopia is, or how to pronounce Namibia... shades of George Noory, except at least Ian possibly knows where Africa itself is. Didn't Ethiopia come up anywhere in his studies at Seminary?
And speaking of George, somehow it seems doubtful even Ian would use him as a 'lifeline' if he gets stuck... maybe a caller should ask...
