I am scared of my new job, Oh and quit being so hungry all the time.

And maybe I was wrong about hating internet trolls.

I learned that from Jesus. But I only ever read about it in books. Or whatever his name is.

You guys should get with him sometime.

He doesnt act like the dude you sent to my house "this time around" tho.

I already gave up everything I had to have. and went with love.

Night night. And have a great day!

Love is the answer.

I do not love internet trolls.

Sorry Jesus I just couldnt do it. I do love alot of other things tho.

Thanks for helping me give up what I had to tho.

Thats a relief.

Charles Darwin is Dead tho. Robots are inherently bad.

And the milky way Is always getting bigger.

Praise be the word of God upon the earth. In any form.

It is his word, not mine.

Maybe now I can get some sleep.

Paula says

Not sure if this drama is real, or not? Just in case it is real, no one is talking about you on their blogs except me!
I miss the old Canopenner. I read your feed several times a week. Your Christian nature was always apparent, whether you mentioned Christ or not.

Thanks Paula!

I got really scared over the parable you told me.

Ill recap for the people who didnt get to read it.

Matthew 13:44-46

The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field, which a man found and covered up; then in his joy he goes and sells all that he has and buys that field.

So yeah, I got REALLY REALLY scared of that.

But then I realized it was my pride making me scared. I shouldnt be so proud. I needed to realize that all the good things I have are NOT the fruits of my labors. They are not some kind of reward.

They are simply the gifts from God unto the world, and I need to freely recieve them. I thank him wholeheartedly!

The thing that made me realize that I was proud and I was trying to do the things for myself and I never could was this next parable. The one of the closed door:

Luke 13:22-30

He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching, and journeying toward Jerusalem. And some one said to him, "Lord, will those who are saved be few?" And he said to them, "Strive to enter by the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the householder has risen up and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, `Lord, open to us.' He will answer you, `I do not know where you come from.' Then you will begin to say, `We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.' But he will say, `I tell you, I do not know where you come from; depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!' There you will weep and gnash your teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God and you yourselves thrust out. And men will come from east and west, and from north and south, and sit at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last."


Because the only way in is by following someone who does know God.

Like his word. Jesus. And a mighty and wonderful word it is!

Isaiah 55:11

So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

I cant be sorry about talking about Jesus and The Good News and Eternal Life.

Sorry.

Remember the harrowing

Harrowing_of_Hell

And Im sorry if it makes you mad, but really it shouldnt.

Butchie says:

I think you might be taking this whole internet thing a bit too seriously.

I dont think so.

I know you guys think that this internet interaction stuff is "Not real" , and "just for fun", but I dont think that. These interactions are just as real as any I have throughout the day face to face. I try and be nice to those people I meet face to face. I try and be nice to you guys too. I know sometimes I lose my temper and turn into an asshole. Be it here or "In real life". But thats normal (believe it or not) for people to get angry about stuff and then try and find an outlet for their anger.

I also told all my RL friends about that old lady and the dimes, I wanted to share that with everyone I knew, if it could give any small comfort to any of the people I told it too then it would be well worth me talking about. And that includes you guys too.

I do feel bad for mr. X. I feel bad for anyone who is mean all the time, doesnt encourage others and generally is a big jerkface. Let alone the people who go out of their way to act like that.

Most of all I feel bad for him having to use a slow ass proxy server all the time to hide his identity.

I just dont see how he could ever find real happiness in "the really real world" if his personality is anything like it comes across here.

Today he is trying to make me feel bad about having one eyebrow, if he knew me in real life he would know I like having one eyebrow. It gives me something to joke about, and why would I want to look like everyone else anyway?

Ill tell you what I sure wont shave it or pluck it off.

I dont mind being different from other people.

And for all the amount I fight with you butchie, and all the times I have ever gotten sick of your comments they are not like his, You are funny most of the time, and I know your insults are meant to amuse yourself, (and me if I can get past the insulting nature of it all) not so much to cut people to the bone and make them feel crappy about themselves. And most of all I know you do have good things in your life, Your wife, your daughter, I assume a loving home life, no matter what I know that those things(and others Im sure) will make you struggle to be a better person, more so than anything I say here.

But the frequency of Mr. X's comments, and the totally caustic nature of them makes me think that he needs some more good things in his life.

I mean come on, what could be more depressing than coming here everyday to make fun of my one eyebrow? Or call me a "shitbag"? or say I have runaway nosehair?(LOL) How come that dude doesnt have something better to do? And on a slow ass proxy too! UGH!

Butchie I dont think youve used a proxy server since I banned you that 15 or so times. And I certainly dont for one minute think you "enjoy" using one.

Why does this guy even think he needs to hide who is? He doesnt want me to kick raymis dog? What? He wants me to kick raymis dog? huh?

He should know that Im only a dangerous asshole when I get angry and this new comment format Ive been using combined with not going to any of your blogs (God only knows what you say about me there) seems to have nipped that in the bud(thankfully). So whats he scared of?

I dont get it.

Ill tell you what tho, I really like things around here like they are, Im starting to feel comfortable again about blogging here. Maybe moreso than I used to be before.
And also I think you guys need someone ministering to you. So I guess Ill do that until you stop coming. After all I dont think your pouring over the good book or any book to find something alot of you tell me Im crazy for believing in.

Its like you think you'll live forever and you dont need any tools to make your last 60 years/10 minutes here any easier.

For instance I prolly wouldnt have told you guys that good news about the lady and her dimes on my blog as it was before, for fear of having someone tell me it was stupid and retarded. But I really think you all needed to hear it, maybe even more than the people I know in real life. And it really is GREAT NEWS no matter what you guys think or say.

Its like this stuff here:

http://kingjbible.com/isaiah/55.htm

How could anyone not wanna hear that stuff? Its good news! And I think its important stuff for me to share with anyone who will listen to me, even if it only makes the last gasping breath of your lives more comfortable. But I think it will do alot more than that.

I hope you have a great day butchie, and thank you for your comment!

:^)

For all my talking about how people need not worry and God will save all our worthless butts and what great news that is (At least to me), I got some pretty nasty remarks back.

Mr X, in all his great intelligence, insight and massive reasoning ability replies:

"You dumb fucking shitbag."

And also

"Mole removal. Check it out."

Lets address his first insight into the nature of the universe.

Yes, I am a shitbag, in that I walk around carrying with me bowels full of shit. In fact, everything I consume becomes shit. But Mr. X, you seem to have forgotten that you yourself are inflicted with the same issues of excrement mobility that I have. Everything you consume also becomes shit, and Im afraid that you carry it around with you as well, just like I do.

As for me being "dumb", would you compare the intelligence between ants? between fish? between rats? of even chimpanzees? Of course not, generally speaking any ant is as smart as any other ant, any fish has an intelligence pretty much equal to any fish of the same species. And I havent heard of many chimpanzee jailbreaks from any zoos in the country, so we have to assume that they are all about as smart as each other too.

So yes, I am equally as stupid as the rest of the entire human race. Some might be fractionally smarter than me and other marginally more stupid, but from an outside viewpoint looking in I believe we are all about as smart as each other. To argue against that would be to argue against logic itself. Not that you have any qualms about not being logical. I would mention how nicely this particular argument works itself into my Christian Doctrine but I know you wouldnt listen anyway.

So as demeaning as that is for me to admit it, I am basically the same as you, its true.

Now about the mole removal statement, this is another place we differ, I dont think theres anything wrong with me.

Be it my moles, my constant quest for self improvement and spiritual enlightenment, the people I hang out with, the car I drive, my haircut, or the way I live my life.

You on the other hand must really think theres something wrong with you, to come here, to my blog, to attack me, for what purpose?

To make yourself feel better about your insecurities, your shortcomings, your problems?

Your "mole removal"?

Where did you fail so badly in life that you feel the need to come here and attack me anonymously via a proxy server? What brought you so low? What warped your poor mind to the point where you enjoy this, the cruelty to/and mockery of others over anything that is good and helpful and productive?

Hey and before I go, you need to check out John 7:24, "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment."

And Mr.X I do hope you find something better to do than be mean, name call, and generally make an ass of yourself.

But If not Ill be here to try and help you.

X says:

you are sick and seriously fucked up and really need to get a life you fucking twit. angels? sinners? repent? secret messages?
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!


Dear Mr. X

I think we have a fundamental difference of opinion.

I believe that God is something that one should seek, and once you seek God, you will find God.

You on the other hand have no interest in such a thing, to the point where if someone else finds him you put your hands over your ears and start calling them names, and telling them the things they have found are ridiculous.

This really illustrates your underlying interest in remaining ignorant, in staying in the darkness from which you sprang. Because there, in that darkness you can be free to lash out and claw at the other things that are there in the darkness with you, because there is no underlying truth, no light, no right or wrong, no comforting spirit to guide you.

I feel sad that you wont listen to good news when you hear it. But like I said before, that old lady will have her dimes. And if the goodness doesnt get you this time around then Ill hope for the next.

Really tho why wouldnt someone want to hear and believe that God loves you and has your back and that everything will work itself out for the best in the end?

Now that is truly madness!

Moodkiller asks(in regards to the old lady and the money good news):

What exactly does that mean canopenner? Does it mean she's rejoicing over her found coin as one would rejoice in front of the angels after a sinner repents for their sin? As to say that finding a lost coin is the same as receiving eternal life in heaven?
Hey Robert, I know you won't post this comment, but it would make for a good discussion on here for another post.

I think God is the old woman who lost her coin(the coin is you, or me, or butchie, or any other soul destined for damnation).

She wants her coin back because it is good for things, and it belongs to her. So she does everything she can possibly do to recover the coin.

Since(For the sake of argument) God is the old woman, he will do whatever it takes to reclaim what is his(or her's, it's?) and since he/she/it is God then nothing is outside of his/her/it's power and all things shall be returned unto him/her/it.

So thats the good news. Or at least my interpretation of it.

Im sure alot of the people who read this blog dont worry about the things that are Gods, or their place in the universe.

But I worry about these things. ALOT and when I finally figured out what that parable meant I jumped for joy because it was like Jesus left me a secret message to decode and the answer comes out "Dont worry everything will be ok, Gods got it covered"

I also have been chewing on the harrowing.

Link here

When Jesus descends into hell to save the sinners there.

And I for one will testify that Gods greatness and majesty touch me here, and that Jesus saves me from the shackles of shame and torment my spirit undertakes in this prison of rending flesh that I am held in.

And Im sorry if any of you dont feel the same way.

!BUT! I am sure that the old lady wont be without any of her dimes! You cant hide under the carpets and in the corners forever, sooner or later you will be forced to see the light. And your only punishing yourself by refusing to see it.

:^)

And if that aint enough for ya try this

I got some good news for you guys to hear, whether or not you wanna listen to it is up to you. Of course, I got it from Jesus. Because maybe you heard, he is the good news.

It goes like this:

Luke 15:8-10

suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Does she not light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin. In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.

So there you have it.

MANGOFALLS

Dearest Kelly,

Yes, I got your note.

And I thought it might be nice to clarify some things.

I am not publishing any comments. I have them all saved nice and neat in the pending moderation section. In retrospect most comments on this blog had nothing to do with my posts anyway, so it doesn't matter to me if they are disjointed from the posts they "came from".

Doing things this way has greatly reduced the amount of bullshit mean comments I was getting before(Im sure you are aware of how much those bothered me). YAY ME. Most people who I perceived as being mean have stopped, probably because they were doing it to impress other people or publicly humiliate me(excepting butchie who apparently still wants to sit in the corner and insult me). And this way still allows an avenue for people to contact me or send me well wishes or whatever privately in the comments if they so desire.

And obviously I can answer questions to whoever I see fit.

Like I just did with you! Thanks for asking such a wonderful question!

butchie says I am pussy, but I think I am making the best possible use of the web services being offered me under the given circumstance. So Im happy about that.

I mean, I really had to get creative to find a way to keep from deleting this blog and keep myself from bottling up anger until I explode(not in a good way) right in someones face. Which Im sure youre also aware I hate doing, losing my temper just makes me even more angry. I HATE being angry because it makes me mean. So I will keep trying to avoid it all possible costs.

And this time the cost was public comments.

But I really think it hurts the troll-ish mean a-hole types alot more than it hurts Me. Butchie obviously is super pissed about it. (which I think gives me some private joy I hate to admit)

Hopefully this way I can maintain a demeaner that I dont need to feel bad about.

Thanks again and have a great day! :^)

-Canopenner

PS I thought it might also be fun to see if haloscan will just keep letting me pile up my comments in there forever. And so far it sure seems like it will. If not maybe then I will start deleting comments. But so far that hasnt happened and Im still getting plenty of comments.

tootles,

Hey butchie glad to see you are back.

I left you a little message back in the letterboard.

Hope you like it!

Strangely enough I came to believe this song is really about tom hanks and his pet ball wilson in the movie castaway.

Why dont you let me know what you think of that?
