MineralMan's Proverb #37b: In discussions about religion,

[MineralMan]

all subthread posts at the 10th level of indentation in a thread are usually irrelevant to the discussion.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

1. Eh? I've found some great nuggets in indentations.

Usually folks late to the party, but, often w good insight. To each his own. Have a good weekend MM.

[MineralMan]

8. Nuggets, you say?

That sounds euphemistic.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

10. Heh heh.

[Tribalceltic]

16. snorts

[Permanut]

17. So this one is still relevant..

or it might be, since we're only down to level four.

[Tribalceltic]

18. I refuse to give up on it

you never know

[marylandblue]

19. We can disprove the proverb by working down

And then posting something relevant at the 10th level.

[Tribalceltic]

20. By George I think it's workiking

And just who is this George guy anyway?

[MineralMan]

21. That's irrelevant.

Who I am doesn't matter. See, my proverb is already correct.

[marylandblue]

22. Your proverb applies only to the tenth level

In this case, the 8th level was irrelevant, but you pointing out that fact, makes your 9th level post relevant. Me pointing out that your 9th level comment is relevant, makes my post relevant as well, thereby disproving your proverb.

[MineralMan]

23. But, you see, none of this has to do with religion.

The irrelevancy began a few levels ago. However, by mentioning religion again, I have renewed the relevancy, but too late, I fear.

[marylandblue]

24. It has everything to do with religion

Since George was a saint.

[MineralMan]

25. Not this one.

And dragons don't exist, anyhow.

[marylandblue]

26. It may be argued that it is, in fact, Saint George

And this being the religion group, it can continue to be argued indefinitely at this level. This argument is mostly irrelevant, but may include arguments as to whether it is relevant, thereby making it relevant. Which makes understanding the original proverb a matter of interpretation, and therefore a religious disagreement. This disagreement will be left to future generations, who are vaguely cautioned not to anger the Lord by hurting each other too badly but also strongly advised to choose the correct side.

[MineralMan]

27. Are you trying to confuse an old man?

Not nice!

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

29. +1

Tee hee.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

28. +1

[marylandblue]

2. That's more a proverb than a commandment.

[MineralMan]

3. You appear to be correct. There was no "shall not" in it.

I will edit my post title.

[3Hotdogs]

4. What's Jesus say about that?

[MineralMan]

5. Jesus didn't have threaded discussions online.

No indention levels. Besides, he was supposedly "the Word made Flesh," so he always got the last word in any discussion.

[3Hotdogs]

14. See? That's why nobody listens to him anymore.

But he did just speak onto me. Yup. 5 Minutes ago.

And if you send me $25.00, I'll tell you what he said. It deals with how to get your sinful asses into heaven. Certainly worth $25.00

As he tells more stuff, I'll pass it on to you on a monthly basis.

You can have the whole year's information for $250.00.

And remember, HE wants you to prosper. So what you send me in His name will come back to you as bread upon the water if the fish don't get it first.

Yours in Salvation,

3H

15. God is not mocked!

Oh, wait...that's not true...never mind.

[marylandblue]

7. Whosoever posteth an irrelevancy in the least of these subthreads

It's as if ye posteth in the top of my own thread.

[MineralMan]

9. LOL!

I'd change the first word to "Whosoever," though, to keep it more KJV-ish.

[marylandblue]

11. Good idea, thanks.

[TwistOneUp]

12. Hey, hey!

Cheeses are tasty!

[Major Nikon]

13. He'd say that sounds like something Hitler would come up with
